26.5" 500Hz IPS gaming monitor

The BenQ MOBIUZ EX271QZ is a 26.5-inch flat IPS panel built for competitive gaming. Its 500Hz refresh rate and 0.03 ms response time target players who prioritise motion clarity above all else. FreeSync adaptive sync reduces tearing across variable frame rates. The white cabinet and tilt-only stand keep the physical footprint simple.

2560 x 1440 resolution with 99% DCI-P3

At 2560 x 1440 the panel delivers 1.07 billion colours and covers 99% of the DCI-P3 gamut for vivid saturation. Brightness reaches 300 cd/m² with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, so HDR highlights pop but deep blacks remain limited by IPS glow. DisplayHDR True Black 500 certification confirms baseline HDR performance. Fast-paced shooters benefit most; colour-critical work may need a wider gamut or higher contrast.

DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.1 connectivity

Video inputs comprise one DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1 ports, enabling the full 500Hz at 1440p from modern GPUs and consoles. USB connectivity adds a Type-C upstream port, a Type-C downstream port with 7.5W charging, and two Type-A ports at 4.5W each, all running at USB 3.2 Gen 1 5 Gbps. The 100 x 100mm VESA mount allows arm or wall installation when the tilt stand is insufficient.

Questions about this item

Will my older GPU with HDMI 2.0 still drive the 2560 x 1440 panel on the EX271QZ?

Yes, the monitor accepts HDMI 2.0 signals at 2560 x 1440, though the 500Hz refresh rate requires the HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4 inputs.

How can I confirm the 500Hz refresh rate is actually active on the EX271QZ?

Open the on-screen display information menu or use the Windows advanced display settings; both will report the current refresh rate and show 500Hz when the panel is running at its maximum.

Which cables come in the EX271QZ box and what must I source separately?

The package includes a DisplayPort 1.4 cable, an HDMI 2.1 cable and a USB Type-C cable for the upstream data link; power and any additional HDMI or USB-A cables are not supplied.
