Frequently Asked Questions
01 What type of panel does the Benq EX480UZ use? ›
It uses an OLED panel, where each pixel generates its own light. This produces perfect blacks and near-infinite contrast — ideal for dark content and cinematic viewing. Response times are also extremely fast at under 1ms.
02 How smooth is the Benq EX480UZ for everyday use? ›
The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling, animations, and cursor movement visibly smoother than a 60Hz screen. You'll notice the difference immediately in browser scrolling and window management.
03 How good is the HDR on the Benq EX480UZ? ›
OLED delivers the best possible HDR — each pixel switches off for pure blacks while bright highlights stay vivid. The contrast is effectively infinite, which is impossible to achieve with LED backlight panels. HDR films and games look exactly as intended.
