Central to the EX321UX's groundbreaking performance is BenQ's all-new PixSoul Engine. This technology leverages BenQ's Game Color Database to create game-oriented color modes and utilizes AI for real-time adaptive fine-tuning of brightness and contrast. The result is an unparalleled visual experience tailored for gamers. The EX321UX is equipped with the latest Mini LED panel, offering 1,000 nits of peak brightness for Display HDR1000. It features a hyper-realistic contrast spectrum enabled by 1,152 local dimming zones and 99% coverage of both P3 and Adobe RGB color gamuts. This ensures vivid, true-to-life colors and incredible detail in every scene.

$1,200 though... BenQ really wants a premium for their displays.

If it's for gamers, why don't they mention the things that matter to gamers, like resolution, refresh rate and G2G times.

4K is not a resolution to you?
I guess 144 Hz is the norm now, so no need to mention it.

Give me BtW response times, screw Gray to Gray crap.

I remember some one saying wait a little longer when i was after a 40" monitor and is about 2 years ago and still be waiting to day. And this thing is not even 40" and yes prices are crazy.

Although i do like this one but would have to test the response time as i do not trust this GtG crap.

Full black to white doesn't really tell you much more than grey to grey since response times vary heavily across the entire luminance range depending on the panel. It is possible (and common, in fact) to have fast black to white times but slow grey to grey times. A good review will give you a grid with dozens of response times measured and averaged.

You should not be waiting for your dream 40" monitor. It's not a popular monitor size, and there aren't any interesting new products releasing at that size in the near future that we know of. You should just buy whatever seems most interesting to you now and stop worrying about what might be coming next.

I don't believe that 1,110 dimming zones are sufficient for a display of this size, as it won't effectively minimize Mini-LED blooming and may still be distracting.

Spec wise, it looks really good, but not paying that much for a monitor.
I'd really like something with FALD though, but so far, it's unobtainium with my current budget and even if I had more disposable income, I'm not sure I could spend north of US$1k for a monitor.

Would really like to see a BenQ Mobiuz 27" 1440p OLED. Don't really care if it's W-OLED (LG) or QD-OLED (Samsung) panel, but just like the 27" size for my desk and want OLED next, would never buy another LCD at this point. Their built-in soundbar is fantastic so I'd like to keep a monitor from that lineup.

Why modern monitors has USB on the back? It is really bad decision

 

[R0H1T]

Because there's no space on the front, near the panel?

 

[Event Horizon]

Looks good but I think it should be at least 200 dollars cheaper, or be 240hz, or have 2k+ dimming zones.

 

[potsdaman]

There are a lot of things can be made.

 

[Cheeseball]

This is the BenQ line that has that has good built-in speakers, which is rare for PC monitors. The only other monitor that comes close is the LG 32GS95UE-B's audio system.

The only problem is that stupid angle stand again. If they could just make it a flat surface, it would be perfect.

 

[trsttte]

Technically speaking they announced this back in january/february, and then again at the end of may in a japanese livestream. But good that it's finally becoming available in western shelves.

I like a lot of what they've done (except the 65W PD that makes me mad as hell ) but that price though... It's hard to justify not just going OLED but that I won't do because I need to do stuff besides gaming/content consumption.

Hopefully someone good does a review soon (as opposed to the usual fluff articles)

It's more a productivity monitor IMO and that suits me just fine. Not buying OLED until the new LG OLED TANDEM tech is widely available.

I will definitely be putting this at the top of my list to replace one of my 12-year-old LCD screens.

 

[Darksword]

I can live with 144Hz, but these really need 20,000+ local dimming zones before they start being comparable to OLED.

I believe what you're waiting for is micro LED, not mini LED.

 

[trsttte]

I can live with 144Hz, but these really need 20,000+ local dimming zones before they start being comparable to OLED.

Doing some napkin math, with 1152 zones you get ~85 pixel wide square zones, with 20000 zones it would be ~20 pixel wide which is roughly the size of a mouse cursor so blooming would be a much much smaller issue. Redmagic announced a monitor using 5088, that would get you ~40 pixel squares but I have seen barely any mentions of it outside china.

As you can easily see number of zones for a smaller zone square increases very fast (as does the cost), it would be great to have as many as possible but 1000+ zones is already pretty good for dynamic content.

 

[Event Horizon]

Some TVs compensate for lower zone counts by slightly raising the brightness of adjacent zones and having finer control over the backlight's brightness. There will be less contrast but also much less distracting blooming in the most extreme cases. Of course there's still the issue of zone lighting transitions lagging behind fast moving objects.

OLEDs have issues too. Burn-in , VRR flicker, pixel cleaning cycles, trouble displaying bright fullscreen scenes like winter scenery, blurry text due to the subpixel layouts (some LCDs have this too), and some panels accumulate dead pixels along the edges at an alarming rate.

There will be caveats no matter which display technology we choose. I'm personally interested in something that can handle long hours of productivity as well as HDR gaming.

Sony begs to differ and their new premium TV's are miniled based not OLED. They are doing great stuff with their FALD and it's not just about the number of minileds. My TCL TV with 2300ish zones looks incredible and well worth saving over 50% vs the OLED TV's for now IMO.

Coming from 60Hz QHD SDR to 144Hz UHD miniled will be a breath of fresh air for me.
