The BenQ EX2780Q debuted in October for $600, but with the best Cyber Monday tech deals (opens in new tab) among us, the vendor is selling the 27-inch, 1440p (opens in new tab) resolution monitor for $200 off. (opens in new tab)
It boasts specs rivaling the best gaming monitors (opens in new tab), including a 144Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time in a 27-inch IPS panel with 2560 x 1440 resolution.
(opens in new tab)When we went hands-on with the BenQ EX2780Q (opens in new tab), our favorite feature was the power powerful its speakers were. The front has two 2W speakers, which work alongside a 5W subwoofer around back. It made both games and movies loud and detailed, plus there are 5 audio profiles. Cable management and rustic gold coloring are nice touches.
The EX2780Q is also the first to feature BenQ’s HDRi feature, but we found it more helpful for brighter HDR (opens in new tab)scenes than darker ones.
Keep in mind, while this monitor is at a steep discount, these days the best monitor steals offer 27-inch 144Hz displays for as low as under $200. However, you may have to settle for lower FHD (opens in new tab)(1920 x 1080) resolution.
