BenQ EX3210R review — A 165Hz, 1440p display that easily passes the eye test

It’s nearly 2022, and yet 1440p is still the sweet spot for a gaming monitor. With that resolution, you can get everything you need at a reasonable price. The difficult part is finding a monitor that understands that assignment. For its part, BenQ mostly succeeds at that task with its Mobiuz EX3210R gaming monitor.

The EX3210R is a 32-inch curved gaming monitor with a 165Hz refresh rate and a 2560-by-1440 QHD resolution with support for HDR. It is available now for $600 from sites like Amazon. Other key specifications for the EX3210R include support for DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 2.0. That, along with its decent built-in speakers, make it an ideal single display for use with a PC and the new-gen consoles. You won’t get 4K120Hz, but you can get 1440p120Hz from an Xbox and 1080p120 from a PlayStation 5.
