Overview
The BenQ EX251 is a 24.5-inch IPS gaming monitor running 1920 × 1080 at up to 220 Hz. It offers 89 ppi pixel density, 350 nits typical brightness (400 nits peak), 1000:1 static contrast and 99% sRGB coverage. Variable refresh covers 48–220 Hz, quotes 1 ms response and supports FreeSync. Inputs include 2× HDMI 2.0, 1× DisplayPort 1.2 and USB-C. The stand tilts only. 2 × 2.5 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 4.17 kg with the stand. It suits players who want smooth motion for fast games. The main trade-off: tilt-only stand has no height, swivel or pivot adjustment.
