Product Information

While the EX270QM’s day-to-day performance doesn’t hold up for professionals, it remains attractive in casual use. The monitor’s solid brightness, good text clarity, and wide color gamut provide good results when browsing the web or viewing YouTube. The monitor’s superior built-in speakers are another plus, offering strong sound that, for some owners, will make external speakers unnecessary. BenQ EX270QM – The Competition

MSI Optix MAG274QRX Gaming Monitor Review: QHD 240 Hz

That said, the BenQ EX270QM makes the best of what it has to work with. The monitor’s tone mapping appears solid and the default settings offer some sense of added brightness without ruining detail in shadows or near-white areas. I enjoy the monitor’s wide color gamut, which spans up to 98 percent of DCI-P3 and 90 percent of AdobeRGB. This is excellent performance, beaten only by monitors that use an OLED panel or those with Quantum Dot technology. For gamers, a wide gamut creates a hyper-saturated look that’s wonderful in games with a bright, colorful presentation such as Overwatch 2 or Apex Legends. LED lighting is included and controlled through the monitor, providing nine color options and six mode options that pulse in different patterns. The lighting is easy to notice in a modestly-lit room, but it’s perfect in a dark gaming den. Lighting brightness can’t be adjusted, though, so what you see is what you get.

Windows 11 already offers extensive split window functions, but Split Window tab offers even more possibilities. There's a hidden macro key towards the bottom left of the panel, which invokes the Gaming Intelligence app by default but can also be configured for other functions. We recorded a maximum brightness of 351 nits at the display center and a 1064:1 contrast ratio, which are on par with the advertised specifications. I've heard a lot about the mag274qrf-qd, as someone who prints frequently I'm a huge fan of the massive adobe rgb coverage the qrx however seems to have been recently released and is comparable on price but has a much higher refresh rate and only 3 percent less adobe rgb coverage. The MSI Optix MAG274QRX primarily has a plastic construction. However, the build quality is good and leaves little room for complaint. Along with a VESA mount, MSI also supplies a stand that allows for adjusting tilt, pivot, swivel, and height, which is a welcome addition as many monitors in this segment make do with just a height adjustment stand.
