27″ 4K 165 Hz gaming monitor

The BenQ EX271U-R is a 27-inch IPS display built for competitive gaming and colour-critical work. It delivers 4K UHD resolution at a 165 Hz refresh rate with 1 ms grey-to-grey response. The open-box unit includes a USB hub and KVM switch for multi-system control.

165 Hz refresh rate at native 4K

This panel runs 3840 x 2160 at 165 Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1, so the single spec that decides fit is whether your graphics card can sustain that frame rate at 4K. FreeSync Premium provides variable refresh support, and 400 nits brightness with HDR10 adds highlight headroom.

Suits high-refresh 4K gamers and multi-PC desks

Buyers who need 4K at 165 Hz with a built-in KVM will match this spec. Users who require higher contrast than 1000:1, built-in speakers, or Thunderbolt connectivity should look at other models.
