The BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QZ is a 26.5-inch 2560 × 1440 IPS gaming monitor with a 500Hz refresh rate, 0.03ms response time, and FreeSync, suited to competitive PC gamers seeking very high refresh rates at QHD resolution.
Recommended For
- PC players focused on competitive shooters such as Counter-Strike 2 or Valorant who want exceptionally smooth motion and have a system capable of producing very high frame rates.
- Players who switch between fast competitive games and visually rich single-player titles, and want high refresh rates alongside QD-OLED contrast and color.
- Competitive gamers who want 500Hz motion performance but also value QHD detail and OLED image quality rather than choosing a display solely for esports.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In competitive PC shooters such as Valorant or Counter-Strike 2, players with a system that can produce very high frame rates can get smoother-looking movement and clearer tracking during fast turns and target changes.
- For cinematic single-player games, users can prioritize detailed, colorful scenes and deep-looking blacks over chasing the monitor’s maximum refresh rate.
- When connected to a PS5, players can use it for casual and single-player gaming, but the console will not use the monitor’s full 500Hz refresh capability; the reviewer reports a 120Hz PS5 ceiling.
- For movies and TV between gaming sessions, users can take advantage of the display’s contrast and vivid colors for a more visually immersive viewing experience.

Reference Q&A
Q: BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QZ or MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50: which 500Hz monitor should I choose?
A: Choose the EX271QZ if you want BenQ’s MOBIUZ color modes and game-specific Color Shuttle profiles. Both monitors are 26.5-inch QHD QD-OLED displays rated for 500Hz and 0.03ms response time. The MSI is a better fit if you need DisplayPort 2.1a or USB-C video with up to 98W power delivery; the EX271QZ’s USB-C upstream port is data-only.
Q: Should I get the EX271QZ or the BenQ EX271UZ for 4K gaming?
A: Choose the EX271QZ for QHD gaming at up to 500Hz, particularly if competitive PC games and very high frame rates are your priority. Choose the EX271UZ for a 26.5-inch 4K image at up to 240Hz, which provides higher pixel density for sharper detail; it also offers USB-C video and up to 90W power delivery. Both are OLED gaming monitors, so the main decision is 500Hz QHD versus 240Hz 4K.
Q: EX271QZ or EX321UZ: which BenQ monitor is better for mixed PC and console gaming?
A: Choose the EX271QZ for competitive PC gaming where QHD resolution and a refresh rate up to 500Hz matter most. Choose the EX321UZ for a larger 31.5-inch 4K screen and up to 240Hz, suited to detailed visuals and a more immersive experience across PC and console games. The EX321UZ prioritizes screen size and resolution; the EX271QZ prioritizes maximum refresh rate.
Q: Who is this monitor best suited for?
A: It is best suited to PC gamers who want a 1440p IPS display with a very high maximum refresh rate. To benefit from 500Hz, the connected PC and game must also be able to deliver very high frame rates. Its 26.5-inch screen and 99% DCI-P3 color gamut also suit general viewing and color-rich content, but the listed stand adjustment is tilt only.
Q: Can I use it for office work as well as gaming?
A: Yes. Its 2560 × 1440 resolution and IPS panel suit documents, browsing, and multitasking alongside gaming. The stand tilts but does not list height adjustment; it supports a 100 × 100 mm VESA mount if you want to use an adjustable arm.
Q: Will it work with a game console?
A: It has two HDMI 2.1 ports for connecting HDMI-equipped consoles. The monitor’s 500Hz maximum is not a promise that a console will output at 500Hz; the available resolution and refresh rate depend on the console, game, and selected video mode.
Q: Can I connect a laptop through USB-C with one cable?
A: Not for video or laptop charging based on the listed specifications. The USB-C upstream port is specified for data only, and no USB-C video input is listed. Connect the laptop to a video input such as HDMI or DisplayPort, and use a separate power source for the laptop.
Q: Can I mount it on a monitor arm?
A: Yes. It supports VESA mounting with a 100 × 100 mm pattern. The listed stand adjustment is tilt only, so a compatible monitor arm can provide additional positioning options.
Q: Is 500Hz worth it for this monitor?
A: It is most relevant if you play competitive games and have a PC that can produce very high frame rates. For casual gaming or office work, the 500Hz refresh rate may add little practical value; the YouTube review specifically raises whether users need 500Hz.
Q: Should I choose the EX271QZ or a 4K 240Hz monitor?
A: Choose the EX271QZ if your priority is very high refresh rate at 2560 × 1440. A 4K 240Hz alternative is the more relevant comparison if you prioritize higher resolution over refresh rate. A YouTube comparison of the EX271QZ and EX271UZ frames the choice around speed versus image detail.
Q: Is the EX271QZ a good choice for competitive gaming?
A: Its listed 2560 × 1440 resolution, 500Hz refresh rate, and FreeSync make it a gaming-focused option, especially for someone seeking high refresh rates. The benefit depends on whether your PC and games can deliver frame rates that make use of 500Hz.
Q: Is it suitable for both gaming and work, and should I worry about burn-in?
A: The listed 26.5-inch 1440p display and USB hub can support everyday desk use, but the stand offers tilt adjustment only, and the USB-C upstream port is data-only. Verify the exact panel type before assessing burn-in: the supplied product data calls it IPS, while Reddit and YouTube discussions identify the EX271QZ as QD-OLED.
