❓
Frequently Asked Questions — Benq EX2710Q
01 What type of panel does the Benq EX2710Q use? ›
It features an IPS panel, which delivers wide 178° viewing angles and consistent colour accuracy. Colours stay accurate whether you're sitting centred or off to the side.
02 Can the Benq EX2710Q handle gaming? ›
✓ Yes — the 165Hz refresh rate makes fast-paced titles noticeably smoother than 60Hz. Fast camera pans and character movement stay sharp. 2ms response time minimises ghosting. FreeSync Premium support prevents tearing without V-Sync input lag.
03 Is the HDR on the Benq EX2710Q any good? ›
The HDR400 certification is entry-level HDR ⚠ Not premium HDR. It unlocks HDR signals from Netflix and other platforms, providing a step up from SDR. However, peak brightness is not high enough for the full cinematic HDR effect — panels rated HDR600 or above deliver that. For casual HDR viewing it is fine; for dedicated HDR enthusiasts it is not.
04 Who is the Benq EX2710Q best for? ›
It is best suited for gamers, office users. It is less ideal for premium HDR experiences or professional colour grading — there are better-spec'd options for those needs. Check the "Who Should Buy" section above for a full profile breakdown.
05 Does the IPS panel cause issues in dark rooms? ›
IPS panels produce a slight glow in very dark rooms when displaying black content — this is normal for the technology. It is most noticeable in pitch-black rooms. For dark-room cinematic use, a VA or OLED panel would produce deeper blacks. For everyday and office use it is not an issue.
06 Is the Benq EX2710Q worth buying in 2026? ›
It remains a competitive option for gamers, office users. 165Hz keeps it relevant for gaming and smooth general use. Check current pricing against alternatives to confirm value at the time of purchase.
