As above, superior depth and some extra saturation due to gamma increase. Still not quite enough depth in places.
A 27-inch QHD gaming monitor with 165 Hz, Adaptive-Sync, HDR and extended color.
Fans of good audio will find BenQ has paid attention to the EX2710Q’s built-in speakers. Not only is the sound tuned with multiple DSP modes, but there’s also an extra driver billed as a subwoofer integrated into the panel. Realistically, you won’t be hearing room-shaking frequencies from this monitor, but it does provide more bass than just about anything else I’ve experienced in this class. HDRi automatically adjusts colors and detail thus creating clear images that produce the immersive gaming experience. Yes, it is possible to do so. You can turn off B.I. + in HDRi mode while maintaining HDR settings and performance. Learn more
For simplicity we’ll just focus on a few titles in this section; Battlefield V and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. These are games we’ve tested on a broad range of monitors under HDR and we know they’re a good test for monitor HDR capability. The experience described here is largely dictated and limited by the screen itself. Although our testing here is focused on HDR PC gaming using DisplayPort, we made similar observations when viewing HDR video content on the Netflix app. There are some additional points to bear in mind if you wish to view such content. We also made observations using HDMI, which would be used when viewing HDR content on an HDR compatible games console for example, and things were very similar. Testing on both our Nvidia and AMD GPUs showed that the HDR implementation was similar in both cases, too. The monitor includes three ‘HDR Mode’ settings; ‘Game HDRi’, ‘Cinema HDRi’ and ‘Display HDR’. As noted earlier, these settings act as ‘emulation modes’ (quite a misnomer) under SDR but act as distinct HDR settings when an HDR signal is detected. ‘Game HDRi’ and ‘Cinema HDRi’ incorporate the light sensor, as used for ‘Brightness Intelligence +’ (B.I. +) under SDR. This adjusts the image based on the content being displayed as well as ambient lighting. As we covered earlier, it will adjust brightness such that unless the room is very bright it essentially acts as a limiter. That brings down brightness to distinctly ‘un HDR-like’ levels, whilst further adjustments are made to colour temperature gamma and other elements. I honestly don't know what more you could ask for at this price from a gaming monitor. The BenQ Mobiuz EX2710 delivers a really strong suite of top gaming features in a decent size panel, while also not neglecting anything along the way. The HDR10 pipeline makes use of 10-bits per colour channel, which the monitor supports via 8-bit + FRC. The enhanced precision of the 10-bit signal enhances the nuanced shade variety. For darker shades, it provides a natural uplift to detail in a way that’s far more natural than could be achieved using gamma enhancements under SDR. The superior range of closely matching shades helped smooth out gradients for brighter shades as well, with more natural progressions for weather effects, smoke and rays of light. The image below shows one of our favourite scenes under Shadow of the Tomb Raider for highlighting a strong HDR performance. Note that the photo is purely for illustrative purposes and in no way represents how the monitor appeared running HDR in person. We made similar observations on Shadow of the Tomb Raider. This title demands a strong contrast performance to look its atmospheric best, with plenty of dimly lit caves and passageways illuminated by a few point sources of light. That isn’t what this model delivered, although it isn’t something we’d expect from an IPS-type panel either. And this model still edges out weaker IPS-type performers. ‘IPS glow’ was again a feature, particularly noticeable if the room is dim or moderately dim. The strong gamma consistency was a key strength, keeping dark detail more consistent without the clear shifts observed on VA and moreover TN models. The light matte screen surface with reasonably smooth finish helped with the representation of brighter shades, too.Note that any interlaced lines in the images below with monitor switched on are moiré from the camera, not from the monitor itself. The video below shows the monitor in action. The camera, processing done and your own screen all affect the output – so it doesn’t accurately represent what you’d see when viewing the monitor in person. It still provides useful visual demonstrations and explanations which help reinforce some of the key points raised in the written piece. As factory defaults but somewhat warmer look, a touch brighter and with a bit of a green bias. All colour channels are in their neutral position (‘100’), maximising contrast.
