Affordable 165Hz, FHD gaming monitor
In competitive games such as FPS and AOS, it is important to understand the situation at a glance. Therefore, there are more cases where a 24-27-inch display is preferred rather than a 32-inch or larger screen that fills the eyes. The BenQ Mobius EX240N is a ‘gasingbi’ lineup for such gamers, and is a gaming monitor that provides a 23.8-inch FHD (1920×1080) screen and a 165Hz refresh rate. Considering that the standard for gaming monitors in the past was 120Hz to 144Hz refresh rate, 165Hz refresh rate is a great performance, and even with a VA panel, it has a response speed suitable for gaming (GtG: 4ms, MPRT: 1ms).
Response time metrics, GtG and MRPT
Response time metrics are often divided into GtG and MPRT. GtG (Gray to Gray) represents the time it takes for a pixel to change from 10% shading gray to 90% shading gray, and MPRT (Moving Picture Response Time) is the time it takes for an afterimage to appear and disappear in an image moving at a constant speed. For both, the smaller the number, the less afterimages occur and display new information replacing the previous information at a high speed, so this is a factor that can directly affect actual game performance.
In the case of VA panels, especially high contrast ratio is considered as an advantage, but it is evaluated that it has some weakness in terms of response speed. is showing Brightness is up to 250 nits.
AMD Free Sync Premium, which synchronizes the frame rate of the graphics card and the refresh rate of the monitor, is also installed. This reduces screen tearing or stuttering, which is an intermittent disconnection phenomenon.
The stand supports tilt (-5°/15°) with up and down angle adjustment. It also has a vesa hall function, so it can be used in combination with a monitor arm. The input/output terminal provides HDMI 2.0 x1 and DP 1.2 x1. As for the buttons, the input switching button, OSD button, and power button are placed at the bottom right of the center, and the ‘HDRi’ control button, which is BenQ’s proprietary illumination detection and color control technology, is placed at the right end.
