BenQ Announces 48-inch Mobiuz OLED Gaming Monitor

BenQ is at Gamescom this week, touting their latest monitors from MOBIUZ as well as the latest products from ZOWIE professional e-Sports brand (we’ve not reviewed or tested any of those for a while!). Alas, the real star of the show is the reveal of their new 48-inch Mobiuz OLED Gaming Monitor, although there are actually a few new monitors in their Mobiuz range.

The new MOBIUZ product line includes the EX480UZ, EX270M, and EX270QM models. The EX480UZ is BenQ’s first gaming monitor with an OLED panel, 48-inch, 4K resolution, delivering a refresh rate of 120 Hz, ultra-fast response time of 0.1 ms, with True 10-bit colour and True Black HDR 400. It also includes FreeSync Premium and BenQ‘s HDRi technology, as well as a KVM switch, scenario mapping with remote control, light tuner, and treVolo speakers. HDR 400 sounds low, but given it’s OLED, I’m betting it’s just the peak brightness that’s limited, as black levels will be zero.

What BenQ Had to Say

‘At BenQ, we are continuously striving to present gamers with ultimate audio-visual immersion and smart AI innovations to ensure an upgraded gaming experience. In this way, we can help players reach a next-level performance’, says Steve Chu, President of BenQ Europe. ‘Since our goal is to create premium experiences for gamers of all types, the natural next step for us was to bring our customers the latest display technology that will change the way they interact within their virtual worlds’, continues the BenQ Europe president. ‘Gamescom is the perfect global platform showcasing for the first time our newest generation of gaming monitors since it’s one of the top-tier gaming events in the world’, concludes Chu. ‘During these five days, we look forward to welcoming everyone to our stand and having them experience the displays for the first time.’
