What is HDRi technology?

How do I use the KVM switch?

Connect your PC and another device (like a laptop or console) to the monitor using separate video cables. Connect your keyboard and mouse to the designated USB ports on the monitor. Use the KVM switch function in the monitor's OSD menu to toggle control between the connected devices.

Can I use the USB-C port for video and charging?

Yes, the USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video output and USB Power Delivery up to 65W, allowing you to charge compatible laptops while displaying content.

What is the warranty period for this monitor?

> Info needed: Specific warranty duration for the BenQ MOBIUZ EX271Q model.

What are the dimensions of the monitor with the stand?

The monitor with the stand has a height of 545.4 mm, a width of 613.8 mm, and a depth of 276.8 mm.

Is the stand height adjustable?

Yes, the stand is height-adjustable up to 10 cm, and also features tilt and swivel adjustments for optimal ergonomic positioning.

Troubleshooting

Monitor not turning on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the wall outlet. Try a different power outlet. Check if the power button is pressed correctly.

No signal on screen

Verify that the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Check that the video cable is securely connected at both ends (monitor and source device). Try a different cable or input port.

Screen flickering or distorted image

Check your display cable connection. Ensure the graphics drivers on your PC are up to date. If using FreeSync, confirm it's enabled in both monitor settings and graphics card software.

Poor motion clarity or ghosting

Adjust the 'Response Time' setting (e.g., to 'Fastest' or 'Premium') in the monitor's OSD menu. Ensure 'Motion blur reduction' features are enabled.

USB-C connection not working or not charging

Confirm that the USB-C cable supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery. Ensure your laptop or device is compatible with 65W charging. Try a different USB-C port on your device if available.

Audio issues from built-in speakers

Ensure the audio source is correctly routed to the monitor (e.g., via HDMI, DP, or USB-C). Check the monitor's volume settings and OSD audio mode. If using eARC, ensure it's properly configured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent gaming performance with 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time.
  • Vibrant and accurate colors with HDRi technology for enhanced visual immersion.
  • Integrated high-quality speakers eliminate the need for external audio solutions.
  • Comprehensive Eye-Care technologies reduce eye strain during long sessions.
  • Versatile connectivity including USB-C with 65W PD and a built-in KVM switch.

Cons

  • Energy efficiency rating is 'G' in HDR mode and 'F' in SDR mode, which may be a concern for environmentally conscious users.
  • While it supports HDR, the peak brightness of 400 cd/m² (peak) is moderate compared to higher-end HDR displays.
  • The stand has white accents, which might not match all desk setups.
  • No NVIDIA G-SYNC support, relying solely on AMD FreeSync Premium.
  • Built-in speakers, while good, may not satisfy audiophiles seeking premium sound quality.

Setup:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the monitor and stand components from the packaging. The stand may be detachable. Refer to the quick start guide for initial assembly.
  2. Stand Assembly: Attach the monitor to the stand using the provided screws. Ensure it is securely fastened.
  3. Connections: Connect the monitor to your PC or console using the appropriate cables (HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, or USB-C). Connect peripherals like your keyboard and mouse to the monitor's KVM switch inputs if desired.

  5. Initial Power On: Turn on the monitor. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your input source and perform initial setup.

Compatibility:

  • Operating Systems: Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. The USB-C features and KVM switch function seamlessly across most modern operating systems.
  • Gaming Consoles: Supports PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and previous generation consoles via HDMI. Ensure your console settings are adjusted for QHD resolution and the desired refresh rate (up to 180Hz where supported).
  • AMD FreeSync Premium: Works with compatible AMD Radeon graphics cards for tear-free, smooth gameplay. It may offer basic adaptive sync functionality with NVIDIA cards, but native G-SYNC is not supported.

Care:

  • Cleaning the Screen: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a screen-safe cleaner. Never spray liquid directly onto the screen. Always power off and unplug the monitor before cleaning.
  • Cleaning the Body: Wipe down the monitor's casing and stand with a soft, damp cloth.
  • Ventilation: Ensure the monitor's vents are not blocked to prevent overheating.
  • Power Management: Utilize the Auto Power Off feature to conserve energy when the monitor is inactive.
