Overview
Sharper motion is the starting point for the 27" BenQ EX2710Q, a 27-inch QHD gaming monitor that combines 165 Hz motion with stronger built-in audio. The 109 PPI IPS panel is sharper than Full HD gaming screens, while FreeSync Premium, DisplayHDR 400 and a 2.1-channel 9 W audio system broaden its use beyond competitive play. Two HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 and a two-port USB-A hub cover a gaming PC, consoles and basic peripherals. Typical brightness is only 250 cd/m², the 400 cd/m² HDR peak leaves little headroom, and the stand cannot pivot. Against the BenQ EX2510S, it adds QHD resolution, a USB hub and a subwoofer, but occupies more desk space. Choose it for balanced QHD gaming and stronger audio, not for bright-room HDR impact.

HDR & Brightness Reality
EX2710Q carries DisplayHDR 400, but the hardware sets clear limits. Typical brightness is 250 cd/m² and the published peak is 400 cd/m², with 1000 : 1 contrast. That can preserve HDR input and lift small highlights, yet it is not enough for strong highlight-to-shadow separation. Local dimming is not published. Treat HDR as compatibility and modest tone expansion, not as the monitor’s main reason to buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 What does the EX2710Q's 2560 x 1440 panel mean at 27-inch? +
The sheet gives 109 PPI, which is the practical sharpness figure. The 109 PPI IPS panel is sharper than Full HD gaming screens, while FreeSync Premium, DisplayHDR 400 and a 2.1-channel 9 W audio system broaden its use beyond competitive play.
02 How should buyers read the EX2710Q'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 EX2710Q useful on a real desk? +
Two HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.4 and a two-port USB-A hub cover a gaming PC, consoles and basic peripherals. Check USB-C roles carefully because downstream data ports are not automatically laptop video inputs.
04 What is the biggest compromise in the EX2710Q specification? +
Typical brightness is only 250 cd/m², the 400 cd/m² HDR peak leaves little headroom, and the stand cannot pivot. That limitation matters more than any generic feature badge.
05 How does the EX2710Q differ from its closest sibling? +
Against the BenQ EX2510S, it adds QHD resolution, a USB hub and a subwoofer, but occupies more desk space. The choice should follow that concrete difference rather than the shared branding.
