BenQ has released the MOBIUZ EX271QMZ, a 26.5-inch QD-OLED gaming monitor that targets PC gamers seeking high refresh rates without the premium price of larger panels. This model matters because it brings third-generation QD-OLED technology to the 1440p segment at a competitive entry point. Buyers who prioritize fluid motion and deep blacks in fast-paced titles should pay attention to this specific configuration.
240Hz refresh rate and third-generation OLED panel target budget gamers
The monitor utilizes a third-generation QD-OLED panel that delivers a WQHD resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels. It runs at a 240Hz refresh rate and achieves a 0.03ms gray-to-gray response time to minimize motion blur. The display covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut for accurate color reproduction in games and media.
Specifications
- Panel Type: 26.5-inch QD-OLED (third-generation)
- Resolution: 2560 x 1440 (WQHD)
- Refresh Rate: 240Hz
- Response Time: 0.03ms gray-to-gray
- Color Gamut: 99% DCI-P3
BenQ includes two HDMI 2.1 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4 for connectivity, along with a standard headphone jack. The panel outputs 200 nits of typical brightness in SDR mode and reaches a peak of 400 nits in HDR10. The 200 nits typical SDR and 400 nits peak HDR10 brightness levels are modest for OLED but sufficient for most indoor gaming environments.
The device features a Brightness Flow function that adjusts pixel brightness based on the scene to reduce flickering caused by the Auto Baseline Limiter. It also supports standard OLED burn-in mitigation tools like Pixel Refresh and Pixel Shift. Features like Pixel Refresh, Pixel Shift, and Brightness Flow help maintain panel longevity during extended gaming sessions.
The MOBIUZ EX271QMZ is priced at $499.99 in the US and 104,200 JPY (around $660) in Japan. It is now available for purchase through BenQ’s US and Japanese websites.

The EX271QMZ offers an entry into the 1440p OLED space for budget-conscious gamers at $499.99 in the US.
