BenQ has officially launched the EW270Q gaming monitor in India, offering gamers a 27-inch QHD display with a high refresh rate at an affordable price. This addition targets users looking for a balance between gaming performance and everyday usability without investing in premium flagship monitors.
The EW270Q features a 27-inch IPS panel with a 2560 × 1440 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It supports a refresh rate up to 200Hz and a fast 1ms response time, ensuring smooth visuals during fast-paced gaming sessions. AMD FreeSync Premium technology is included to reduce screen tearing and stuttering, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
HDR10 support boosts contrast and color range for more vivid imagery. A matte screen coating reduces glare, making it easier to view content comfortably in various lighting environments. This monitor covers 90% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, which is suitable for gaming, multimedia consumption, and light productivity work.
BenQ adds several visual enhancement features such as Game Color Mode, Color Vibrance, and Light Tuner. These allow users to fine-tune contrast and visibility based on content type. The Visual Optimizer feature facilitates quick adjustments to display settings, catering to different usage scenarios efficiently.
Connectivity options include one HDMI 2.0, one DisplayPort 1.4, and one USB-C port. The USB-C supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, data transfer, and Power Delivery up to 65W. This single cable setup enables compatible laptops to connect and charge simultaneously, simplifying workspace management. Audio is handled through two internal 5W speakers and a headphone jack for private listening.
Design-wise, the EW270Q breaks away from typical gaming monitor aesthetics by adopting a sleek white chassis. The stand offers tilt adjustment from −5° to 20° and swivel of ±20°, while VESA 100 × 100 mm compatibility allows mounting on various arms or wall mounts. With the stand, the dimensions are 436 × 614 × 211 mm and it weighs 4.64 kg; without the stand, it measures 372 × 614 × 60 mm and weighs 4.01 kg.
Eye care features include Flicker-Free technology, Low Blue Light mode, Motion Blur Reduction, and a Color Weakness Mode designed for users with color perception difficulties. BenQ also provides software tools such as Display Pilot 2 and Display Quickit, which streamline display configuration and customization.
On power consumption, the EW270Q uses around 26W during normal operation, peaks at 150W under maximum load, and drops to 0.5W in sleep mode. This efficiency suits users concerned with energy use during extended gaming or work sessions.
In India, the BenQ EW270Q is priced at Rs. 17,990, which is approximately $220 USD. It is available on Amazon.in and authorized offline retailers, making it an accessible option for gamers who want QHD resolution and fast refresh performance without exceeding a moderate budget.
