Gamers looking for a high-refresh-rate QHD monitor may soon have three interesting BenQ MOBIUZ models to consider: the EX271QM, EX271QMZ and EX271QP.
Designed around a 27-inch, 2560 × 1440 resolution, these monitors target different gaming priorities. The EX271QM focuses on speed with a 320Hz IPS panel, the EX271QMZ combines a 240Hz refresh rate with OLED contrast, and the EX271QP offers a 260Hz IPS display for fast, detailed gameplay.
Beyond refresh rates and panel technology, the new-generation MOBIUZ lineup also puts greater emphasis on game-specific colour tuning through BenQ’s Game Art Color features.
BenQ has included all three models in its September 2026 announcement about Game Art Color HDR. Indian launch timing, pricing and retail availability have not yet been confirmed in the official information available at the time of writing. This guide explores their announced specifications and the differences that gamers should understand before choosing one.

1. BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QM: A 320Hz QHD Gaming Monitor Built for Speed
BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QM 27-Inch 2K 320Hz Gaming Monitor
- 27-inch QHD IPS display
- 320Hz refresh rate
- 400 nits typical brightness and 1000:1 contrast ratio
- HDR10 support with dedicated HDR color modes
- AMD FreeSync Premium
- Dual 2.5W speakers and headphone jack
- 2 × HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C connectivity
- 3-Year warranty
The BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QM is designed for gamers who prioritise smooth motion, quick responses and high-refresh-rate performance without moving away from IPS technology.
Its 27-inch QHD display combines a 2560 × 1440 resolution with a 320Hz refresh rate and a stated 1ms GtG response time. This combination is particularly relevant for competitive games where rapid movement, quick target tracking and responsive controls matter.
320Hz refresh rate for competitive gaming
A 320Hz display can refresh its image up to 320 times per second when operating at its supported maximum refresh rate. Compared with conventional 144Hz or 165Hz displays, it provides the potential for smoother motion when paired with a PC capable of delivering sufficiently high frame rates.
For competitive FPS games, esports titles and fast-paced action games, this makes the EX271QM an interesting option for players who want to prioritise speed.
Keep in mind that the monitor’s refresh rate does not guarantee a matching in-game frame rate. Actual performance depends on your graphics card, game settings and the title being played.
QHD resolution and IPS image quality
The 2560 × 1440 resolution offers a useful balance between image detail and gaming performance on a 27-inch screen. It provides more workspace and finer detail than Full HD while generally placing less demand on a graphics card than 4K gaming.
The IPS panel is specified at 400 nits typical brightness, a 1000:1 native contrast ratio and 95% P3 colour gamut coverage. These specifications make the display relevant to gamers who want both high-speed gameplay and colourful game environments.
Game Art colour modes and gaming tools
The EX271QM includes BenQ MOBIUZ features such as Spectral Color, High Pixel Contrast, Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Realistic colour modes, plus tools including Color Vibrance, Light Tuner, an FPS counter and an on-screen crosshair.
BenQ Color Shuttle also provides access to more than 120 game colour profiles for supported titles. Availability of software features may depend on game compatibility and the supported configuration.
Connectivity and everyday usability
The listed connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, one USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode and data, and a headphone jack. The BenQ MOBIUZ monitor also has dual 2.5W speakers and an ergonomic stand with height, tilt and swivel adjustment.
Who should consider it? Competitive PC gamers who place a high priority on refresh rate and want QHD resolution with an IPS panel.

2.BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QMZ: 240Hz QHD OLED Gaming
BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QMZ 27-Inch 2K 240Hz OLED Monitor
- 27-inch QHD OLED display
- 240Hz refresh rate
- 0.03ms GtG response time
- Third-generation QD-OLED with Tandem Structure
- 99% P3 color gamut and 1.07 billion colors
- HDR10 with up to 400 nits peak HDR brightness
- 1,500,000:1 native contrast ratio
- AMD FreeSync Premium and Motion Blur Reduction
- 2 × HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C with 15W power delivery
- Height-adjustable, tilt, and swivel stand
- 3-Year warranty
The BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QMZ takes a different approach. Rather than aiming for the highest refresh rate of these three models, it combines 240Hz gaming with OLED display technology, fast pixel response and a wider stated P3 colour gamut.
For gamers who value deep blacks, strong contrast and vivid visuals alongside responsive gameplay, this model may be the most interesting of the trio.
OLED displays require consideration of long-term panel wear, particularly when static elements such as taskbars, game HUDs or logos remain on screen for extended periods.
The EX271QMZ includes an Intelligent OLED Protection Suite with features such as Pixel Refresh, Idle Dimmer, Logo Dimming and Pixel Shift. BenQ also highlights Brightness Flow, which is designed to adjust pixel brightness in response to changing scenes.
These technologies help manage panel wear and brightness behaviour, but they cannot guarantee that burn-in will never occur. Buyers planning to use the display for long desktop work sessions should consider their usage patterns as well as their gaming needs.
Game Art colour tuning and connectivity
The EX271QMZ supports BenQ MOBIUZ colour modes inspired by Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Realistic game art. Color Shuttle provides access to more than 120 colour profiles for supported AAA titles.
Listed connectivity includes two HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and data, and up to 15W USB-C power delivery. It also includes dual 2W speakers and an adjustable stand.
Who should consider it? Gamers who want OLED contrast, rich colour reproduction and fast response times, and who are comfortable with the additional care considerations associated with OLED technology.

3. BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QP: A 260Hz QHD IPS Gaming Monitor
BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QP 27-Inch 2K 260Hz IPS Gaming Monitor
- 27-inch QHD IPS display
- 260Hz refresh rate
- 1ms GtG response time
- 400 nits typical brightness and 1300:1 contrast ratio
- HDR10 with Game Art Color HDR modes
- 95% P3 color gamut
- Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Realistic color modes
- Color Shuttle with 120+ game color profiles

- HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and USB-C connectivity
- Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light technology
- 100 × 100 mm VESA mount compatibility
- 3-Year warranty
The BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QP sits between the other two models in refresh-rate terms. It offers a 260Hz IPS panel with QHD resolution and a stated 1ms GtG response time.
It is designed for gamers who want a high-refresh-rate display while retaining the characteristics of IPS technology.
260Hz performance with QHD detail
The EX271QP’s 260Hz refresh rate is aimed at fluid gameplay in competitive shooters, racing titles and other fast-moving games. Its 2560 × 1440 resolution maintains a detailed image without requiring the same rendering workload as 4K at comparable settings.
Its stated specifications include 400 nits typical brightness, a 1300:1 native contrast ratio and 95% P3 colour gamut coverage.
As with the other models, achieving the maximum refresh rate requires a compatible graphics card, connection, cable and supported display settings.
Game Art colour modes and HDR10
The EX271QP includes BenQ MOBIUZ Spectral Color and High Pixel Contrast features, along with Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Realistic colour modes.
It supports HDR10 and offers additional HDR colour modes for compatible content. HDR performance will depend on the game’s implementation, source device, settings and the panel’s brightness capabilities; HDR10 support alone does not establish a particular level of HDR certification.
BenQ has also identified the EX271QP as one of the models supported by its Game Art Color HDR update, which introduces additional HDR presets for different game-art colour modes.
Connectivity for gaming setups
The listed connections include two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4 connection, USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode and data, and a headphone jack. The monitor also includes dual 2.5W speakers, FreeSync Premium support and VESA 100 × 100mm mounting compatibility.
The HDMI version is an important point to check when comparing these models. The EX271QP lists HDMI 2.0, whereas the EX271QM and EX271QMZ list HDMI 2.1. For high-refresh-rate PC gaming, check the supported resolution and refresh rate for the specific port you plan to use.
Who should consider it? Gamers looking for a high-refresh-rate QHD IPS monitor who want a refresh rate above 240Hz without choosing an OLED panel.

What Is BenQ Game Art Color HDR?
One of the more interesting developments in this generation of MOBIUZ monitors is the focus on how games are meant to look, rather than treating colour saturation and contrast as settings that should simply be pushed as high as possible.
BenQ’s Game Art Color approach centres on colour tuning designed around different visual styles, including Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Realistic environments. These modes aim to give games a presentation that suits their art direction.
In its September 2026 announcement, BenQ introduced Game Art Color HDR, an update built on its Smart Game Art technology. It adds three HDR presets:
- Immersive: For a more atmospheric presentation.
- Balanced: For a more balanced treatment of colour, contrast and tones.
- Vivid: For a more expressive, vibrant image.
BenQ lists the EX271QM, EX271QMZ and EX271QP among the displays supporting this feature. Color Shuttle also provides a library of more than 120 game colour profiles for supported titles.
The practical value of these features will depend on the games you play, your preferred image style and software compatibility. Players should also check the applicable firmware and feature availability for the final Indian-market models.

Which BenQ MOBIUZ Monitor Should You Wait For?
All three models offer 27-inch QHD resolution, but each takes a different approach to gaming performance.
Choose the EX271QM if refresh rate is your priority
With its 320Hz IPS panel, the EX271QM is the speed-focused option. It is worth watching if you mainly play competitive PC games and want to prioritise a high refresh rate.
Choose the EX271QMZ if you want OLED visuals
The EX271QMZ combines a 240Hz refresh rate with OLED contrast, a 0.03ms stated response time and 99% P3 colour coverage. It is the option to watch if image depth and colour are just as important to you as smooth gameplay.
Choose the EX271QP if you want high-refresh-rate IPS
The EX271QP offers 260Hz performance with an IPS panel. It may appeal to gamers who want a high refresh rate but do not specifically need the OLED characteristics of the EX271QMZ.
The final buying decision will depend on Indian pricing, warranty terms, availability and the exact specifications of the retail models. Without confirmed local pricing, it is too early to identify one as the best-value option.
India Launch Date, Price and Availability
The three models have been identified by BenQ as part of its new-generation MOBIUZ lineup, but an official India launch date and Indian retail prices were not available in the official information reviewed as of 22 October 2026.
Before buying, prospective customers should check the following:
