Today we wrap up our 9 month long term 4K 144hz monitor review of the BenQ Mobiuz EZ2710U which is a 27" IPS monitor with HDMI 2.1. I also compare it to the LG Ultragear 27GP950B that I have and both are great monitors especially for console gaming and are up there with some of the best 4K 144hz IPS monitors in 2023.

No one else notice that she actually go and takes time to do a proper review instead of the other reviewers that just get free stuff and stand there and talk about it, playing the same footage in a loop??
100% this. So many larger lazy channels have review videos that are no where near as complete it’s this. No idea why videos like this don’t get more views. The algo is useless.
Appreciate you noticing. I'm sure the other ones you see still have value in them. Making these types of videos are extremely difficult and time consuming if you want them done right, especially when you don't have a production team.
its so awesome to see ya cause i was there since u had like 30 k subs and love the way u introduce ur videos hope u grow more sarah !!
Your channel is amazing Snaxan! Keep at it!
BenQ has been my go to for almost a decade, and I'm running two of them right now (one for gaming and one for recording and the interwebz). They've always been a really good compromise of quality and price imo. Good to see they did well in your review, Sarah!
BenQ is kinda underrated.
I really enjoy watching you reviewing and creating
along with playing games and reacting to films you
are a very talented person Thank You for your videos.
🌞🌞🌞🌞
amazing review! thank you
I’m not really on the market to buy a new monitor but I really love how you made this video comparing the two monitors. Pretty detailed! Really hoping they bring down the prices of these monitors though.
If your monitor is old, you need to buy a new monitor.
Love watching your reviews! ❤❤❤
I really appreciate the style of this review, not just an unboxing video sponsered by the manufacturer that just repeat all the claimed features/tech, you spent long enough time to give an realistic and detailed review of the product with a comparable, fantastic independent review!
Yes, there is no lazy in this one. This was great. I would like to see other monitors though, once that are in a more affordable tier as the majority of us aren't spending for 4K.
Holy wow. I wish all monitor reviews were like this. Can you do more?
Clutch review thank you for the video! 🔥
I came with questions and doubt…
I left with answers and confidence
THANK YOUU🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you for your in-depth review for this monitor, especially with you referencing it with another one that you have been using as a benchmark. Will you also do reviews for in-ear monitors?
It’s a nice video,the video is informative.
Hi Sarah good review, i like you're calm demeanor.
Amazing review
amazing detail
Loved this !!
Happy you enjoyed it!
@@SnaxanGaming definitely. Subscribed !!
One thing. I believe the microphone entry in the menu is for the embedded microphone. I think it only works if you have the upstream USB type B connected.
I have an Odyssey G6 and I love having a remote control, using the monitor for both PC and consoles is super convenient.
Awesome review. I was almost about to shy away from BenQ. But checking this out I may give this monitor a try.
Just curious, was the reason why you were shying away form them because you had a bad experience with them? Or was it just more about going with a more mainstream brand?
@@SnaxanGaming no was going to try something new. But the Mobiuz seems more better compatible with the new gen consoles. I was using zowie's for the previous gens and PC. If I remember correctly BenQ and Zowie didn't have much for being optimal for the new gen consoles. But I never had any issues with the monitors I had. They worked well with what I used them with.
Great test! To be honest I don't know which monitor I'm getting next - everytime I read something or see a review I have doubts - Well I guess my current monitor is okay :O)
Problem with Oled is burn-in using them monitors can guarantee that burn-in happens if the user doesnt chnage the way they use monitors.
Solid review - I was in the market for a new monitor considered BenQ but opted for the Asus ProArt as a creative it seems to hit the spot re my creative requirements and is no slouch with the flight sims too
The ProArt is a good monitor
Great review!! 👍🏽
Helps me choose BenQ over MSI and LG from my shortlisted monitors.
I was looking for EX3210U vs MPG32UR vs 32GQ950. But after your review, I'll go with the Mobiuz.
For a moment I was also considering Neo G8, but the oversaturated VA panels have put me off since I'll be using this both for work and gaming as well.
In my country, OLEDs are way above 1100$ mark and I'm getting a Mobiuz for 900ish. Hope I'm making the right decision here.
I still love my Möbius but you should strongly consider MPG321UR QD. I didn’t try it until after but it’s very good and I’m similar price range. But it is over saturated out of the box and you have to make adjustments.
Thank you for your work. Both monitors use the same LG Display LM270WR8-SSA1 matrix (called NanoIPS). There is a possibility that for BenQ is a slightly different selection of panels. Maybe there will be different screen coatings. And also the level of backlights, their character depends on the case itself. If in some places the matrix will be strongly pressed or not pressed, it is possible that the backlight level will change. Therefore, the quality of the case is also very important. And if the manufacturer BenQ will try, they can get a better result than LG itself.
But what I'm really curious about is whether these monitors have the same screen coating, matte or semi-matte?
benq make the best monitors had this monitor for a year now 10/10 this is prob the best review on the monitor
love your voice in this video lol
I REALLY appreciate you making this review. I just stumbled onto the EX2710U after looking for many 4k 144hz+ options, this one was never mentioned. I did purchase the LG 27GP95R-B two weeks back (it's the same as the GP950R except without RGB) for $500 (10% off on LG right now from $550). I have to return both of them though because these monitors have many frustrations with Mac OS. For one, the monitor's firmware does not allow for Mac OS to recognize the monitor as an audio output device with the headphones plugged in. Also, 95% of the time, I can't get picture onto the monitor from my Macbook, just a black screen. I have to constantly restart the computer / reseat the cables for about 30 minutes for it to finally work. None of these issues are apparent on the PC side of things but I do my productivity work during the day on my Mac and so those monitors unfortunately have to go back. I'm staying away from LG also because dealing with their customer support over these issues has been a nightmare. Really considering the BenQ now. Are you able to do a quick test of a Mac OS device with the BenQ to ensure it recognizes the display, shows picture and is recognized as an audio output device with headphones plugged in?
Currently travelling but would be happy to plug in my macbook to see if it works. I'd have to find time though because I would have to move the monitor and take out HDMI cable which is difficult to do since everything is all set and locked in with cable management. One thing to check tho, you probably are did i would guess, before you write off the LG is the video output settings in the mac and make sure they agree with the LG.
@@SnaxanGaming yeah I definitely checked that but no worries on checking the MBP detection and going through that hassle. I've seen a few testimonies now from reviews that a few users have used MBP with this monitor.
The LG monitors I have do show up in the Mac OS Display settings, there's just nothing but a lit up black screen that shows on the displays and I ensured that the displays are set to extended, not off. If I do a few computer restarts, turn off the monitor, and turn them on when I reach the login screen, there is a slight chance that the picture shows up, but it's frustrating to deal with as it's not always that picture shows up on BOTH monitors, sometimes it's only one. It's just not reliably consistent with two MBP devices I have tested. Windows devices have 0 issues.
I'm even a bit weary of the EX2710U myself as I know they both share the same LG panel. Currently also considering the HP Omen 27K, Asus PG27UQR and MSI MAG274UPF.
Great review by the way, love the content. Subbed :)
Been gaming on a BENQ GW2765-T for ages, absolutely fantastic monitor. But, sadly, time for an upgrade as it doesn't do justice to the 3070 in my new build. Been reseaching/shopping for about a month and ran across this review. Sticking with BENQ and getting the Mobiuz EX2710U.
Best monitor review I have viewed (and I have viewed dozens lately). Thanks!!!!
ps. that God of War build is sick! Just raised the bar dramatically for my next build.
Thanks for that! Btw, are you in the U.S.? I need to clear some space and getting rid of some of my monitors for extremely cheap. Including the mobiuz.
@@SnaxanGaming Yes indeed! Please let me know preferred contact method.

How Is the OLED monitor to work on - I know it's great for gaming but I need both and I have seen people going back to regular monitors because they weren't suitable to work on as an office monitor but that was when the first OLED monitor came out - and what about burn in and retention - I have 3 OLED Tv's and don't have the problem on them but I don't use them with static images like when you do office work.
Where can i get this remote?
LG GN…GP…and many more including this BenQ use same LG panel “R8”. They might be tuned differently but same at its core. This model has best speakers and that is where it shines. But pretty weird gamma tune…
I have 27gp950, my picture mode is gamer1. Is it best mode ?
Great review, the sad part on the benq is that it doesn't have an ucb-c. I was wondering a comparison between a gigabyte m27u or m28u and these two. I find them a little expensive and wondering if they are worth the price. What do you think ?
The m27u is worse than the m28u, there is a review of both on Rtings, the m27u has slightly worse viewing angles.
lg better because have G-Syng and free-syng pro. and i love how y compare between this monitors (Great Video)
Hello, very good, first of all, congratulations on your channel, I wanted to ask you that I am quite inexperienced, I currently have an LG 27UL650-W monitor and I wanted a more updated version to be able to take advantage of my PS5, regardless of the price, which option would you recommend between these two: LG 27GP95RP -B or BenQ MOBIUZ EX2710U ? All the best.
I haven't tried that LG model you list exactly so I can't really say. But I really like the BenQ
@@SnaxanGaming It is the successor model of which you make the comparison in the video (LG UltraGear 27GP950-B, they are similar), I also really like the Benq, but more than anything it is to know (removing the speakers), if the price difference makes it The BenQ is more worth it than the LG in terms of image quality for gaming.
@@edwardsparda1384 The panels are pretty similar, as a matter of fact they use the exact same panel. I would recommend just getting whichever model is cheaper because they are both really close in qualities and features.

best 4k 144hz monitor for pc gaming under 650euros?
9 months? damn. I wonder what review she has lined up now
Doesn't the image on the Mobiuz EX2710U become blurry or mushy when you get close enough to the screen? Because on the BenQ benq ew3270u this is the case, please answer me
The ew3270u I believe is just a 60hz monitor that’s probably more suiting for office than gaming. It’s not going to compare with a 144hz hdmi 2.1 monitor like the ex2710u. The motion blur on the ex2710u is much less.
@@SnaxanGaming I mean in terms of graphic details, the contours or even the image quality is really blurry and not very clear when you approach a BenQ ew3270u, this really comes from the fps of the screen, do you think? even when the image of a game is fixed without movement?
@@Syxuii Hard to say what the issue can be without being right in front of it. But if you're saying the image is not clear even when it's a still image, it could even be the connection issue, or the source. Sorry I can't be of more help.
@@SnaxanGaming ok thanks😉
I bought the BenQ few months ago to replace my old TV, so I'm a complete beginner to HDR monitor, gaming monitor etc. And I was kind of disappointed I guess. Even though the monitor is really good, I was surprised by the fact that non HDR display is actually really dark... On game which don't use HDR it's hard to get a good picture quality, with enough brightness, I mean I never understood why the brightness is locked but can go way higher when you're in HDR... Also the IPS glow is sometimes kind of annoying. Otherwise it's really good I guess, but maybe I'll try a TV next time or an OLED monitor !
Is your brightness setting at 100 for the non HDR stuff? Also what model did you get?
@@SnaxanGaming Yes it is 100 and it's EX2710U ! But I still find that to be really dark compared to HDR (I know HDR enhanced the brightness, but I have the feeling that my old TV from 2010 was brighter than this brand new monitor, even though it didn't have any HDR, which is kind of a shame...
La métricas son tan exactas que no se equivocan y solo ace falta quien las ejecute bien para entender la diferencia otros videos técnicos y fan agradecido.
How is the benq with heat?
No issues! Generally speaking these panels don't generate much heat compared to say the new OLEDs which require heatsinks/fans
@@SnaxanGaming thank you!
Poor CAT 😂😂😂
Beware of scammy monitor listings by the makers themselves! I almost bought a new 1300€ Samsung monitor recently, but it's a good thing I checked more websites and noticed a discrepancy in the listing. Samsung officially calls it a MiniLED monitor, when it's MiniLED *BACKLIT* and not the actual screen technology called MiniLED. It's actually using a VA panel.
Practically speaking ALL the monitors that exist on the market called LED monitors is LCD panels with LED backlight ... They have been calling it LED monitor when it is LCD panel with LED backlight for over 10 years now, that is nothing new. For it to be actually LED minitor it is called O-LED but O-LED is not suitable for use as monitor because of burn in... Yes calling a LCD panel with LED backlight for LED monitor is a bit scammy but as I have said it is common practice for over a decade now and everyone that have not been asleep since 2010 know this.
@@a64738 What's new is that there is an actual screen technology called MiniLED and this is not it!
Hello sabine wren how's your 😂
Plz giveaway ur gpu and throw it on me
At least She's a beautiful lady that actually shows she's sincere about tech and tech information. I love that
not just most ladies out in the wild showing boobies and being perky and stuff.
Is that seriously how you think about women?
@@discobroccoli198 I think he has a good point and means well. What he is saying is there are many other channels with girls who just rely on their bodies or looks just to get attention and views and this is very true. But on this channel, Sarah doesn’t do that. She uses hard work and talent to make videos instead of taking the lazy way and using dressing provocative and just saying unhelpful stuff just for attention and views.
@@sam6906 I follow many female UA-camrs and none of them are like you describe. I can’t even think of a single female UA-camr like that.
Just because you don’t follow them doesn’t mean they don’t exist Arru , queen tofu sssniperwolf etc rely on beauty and looks there are tons of women that do it. Not saying anything is wrong with it but there is no secret those types of things generate views vs actual technical knowledge and effort.
@@sam6906 Queen Tofu? I’m subbed to her and she’s not like that…
