27-inch 180Hz IPS gaming monitor

The BenQ EX271Q is a 27-inch flat IPS panel built for fast-paced gaming. It delivers a 2560 x 1440 resolution at 180Hz with a 1ms response time and AMD FreeSync Premium adaptive sync. The screen covers 95% P3 colour gamut and meets DisplayHDR 400 certification for brighter highlights.

Ideal for competitive players on one desk

This monitor suits gamers who want high refresh rates and accurate colour on a single 27-inch display. The integrated KVM switch and 65W USB-C power delivery simplify setups that share a keyboard and mouse between a PC and a laptop. Buyers who need a curved ultrawide format or a higher 4K resolution should consider other models.

180Hz refresh rate at 1440p resolution

The 180Hz panel is the specification that determines whether this monitor matches a build. It provides the motion clarity expected for competitive shooters while keeping the GPU load manageable at 2560 x 1440. If the target system cannot sustain high frame rates at this resolution, a lower refresh model may be more practical.
