The BenQ EX2780Q has a remote that can control all the monitor’s features. It’s unlikely you’ll need to use the warranty, but it’s a nice perk. Samsung and LG tend to offer a one year warranty on all monitors, and while Alienware can do better, its monitors are much more expensive. This is uncommon for a gaming monitor at any price point. It doesn’t include Power Delivery, so it can’t charge your laptop.īenQ backs the EX2780Q with a three-year limited warranty. The USB-C port is another unusual feature to find in a gaming monitor, but don’t get too excited. Still, it’s odd for a monitor this expensive to ship without a height-adjustable stand.Ĭonnectivity options include two HDMI 2.0 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort mode.

A VESA mount is included, so a third-party stand can be attached to solve the issue. The monitor will sit low on your desk, so tall gamers may need to prop it up with a box or some books. The included stand is sturdy but short and only adjusts for tilt. It all adds up to a refined, luxurious look.įunctionally, however, the EX2780Q falls flat.

This is where you’ll find the HDRi sensor which detects ambient light and adjusts the monitor accordingly. Thin bezels frame the display on three sides while the bottom is bordered by a small soundbar with a faux fabric texture. The BenQ EX2780Q’s simple, curved matte black chassis is paired with elegant trim that, in most lighting, takes on a bronze or coffee hue.
