Overview
At 48 Hz - 165 Hz, the 24.5" BenQ EX2510S is a compact Full HD gaming monitor for high-frame-rate PC and console play. Its 165 Hz AHVA IPS panel, FreeSync Premium, 400 cd/m² brightness and 5 W speaker system make it unusually complete for a 24.5-inch screen. Two HDMI 2.0 inputs and DisplayPort 1.2 suit a PC plus two consoles, while the audio output handles headphones or external speakers. The 89 PPI image is not especially fine, HDR10 has no published peak-brightness or local-dimming support, and there is no USB hub. Compared with the BenQ EX2710Q, this model trades QHD sharpness and a USB hub for a smaller footprint and the same 165 Hz ceiling. It makes sense for fast Full HD play; buyers wanting denser pixels or a real HDR system should look elsewhere.

HDR & Brightness Reality
EX2510S accepts HDR10, but its published hardware matters more than the signal badge. The panel is rated at 400 cd/m² with 1000 : 1 contrast and 99% sRGB. No local-dimming system is listed, and peak brightness is not published. HDR playback is therefore useful for compatibility and colour-managed content, but buyers should not expect deep blacks or forceful specular highlights from these figures.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 What does the EX2510S's 1920 x 1080 panel mean at 24.5-inch? +
The sheet gives 89 PPI, which is the practical sharpness figure. Its 165 Hz AHVA IPS panel, FreeSync Premium, 400 cd/m² brightness and 5 W speaker system make it unusually complete for a 24.5-inch screen.
02 How should buyers read the EX2510S's 48 Hz - 165 Hz specification? +
That is the exact published refresh range for this monitor. Source hardware must expose the matching mode; no different range should be assumed.
03 Which connections make the EX2510S useful on a real desk? +
Two HDMI 2.0 inputs and DisplayPort 1.2 suit a PC plus two consoles, while the audio output handles headphones or external speakers. Check USB-C roles carefully because downstream data ports are not automatically laptop video inputs.
04 What is the biggest compromise in the EX2510S specification? +
The 89 PPI image is not especially fine, HDR10 has no published peak-brightness or local-dimming support, and there is no USB hub. That limitation matters more than any generic feature badge.
05 How does the EX2510S differ from its closest sibling? +
Compared with the BenQ EX2710Q, this model trades QHD sharpness and a USB hub for a smaller footprint and the same 165 Hz ceiling. The choice should follow that concrete difference rather than the shared branding.
