what's going on youtube today benq has just released their uh mobius ex 3210u monitor so this
is a 4k 144 hertz one millisecond response rate monitor with 32 inches of screen real estate so if
there's any of you guys out there that's looking for a 32 inch 4k monitor you know that's game
ready for your xbox series x or s your playstation 5 or even a pc but that pc has to have hdmi 2.1
for you to really get the benefits or the best benefits out of this monitor so we're going to
be going over all of the cool features of this monitor you know what makes it really great for
gaming and you know we're going to be testing it out with the ps5 the xbox uh series x as well as
you know a pc that's built for gaming but before i jump right into that i'll let you guys know right
now that down in the description below and in the pinned comments i've left a link that you
guys can follow to go ahead and pick one of these up if you're interested in you know picking up one
of these monitors but you know what let's have some fun and see how well this monitor handles
inside the box you'll find manuals two pieces for the desk stand a 1.8 meter hdmi 2.1 cable
a 1.8 meter displayport 1.4 cable a usb 3.0 type a to type b cable the two pieces that make up
the power adapter a remote control and i o back cover and finally the 32 inch 4k monitor the setup
process was tool-less and quite straightforward all you have to do is attach the two pieces
for the desk stand together and then attach that to the back of the monitor make sure it clips in
before letting go of the monitor if you're going to be mounting it to the wall or a desk arm then
you obviously won't need to attach the desk stand you'll be glad to know that it's got a 100 by 100
millimeter vasa mount compatibility once it's all set up all that's left is to hook it up to power
connect an hdmi 2.1 compatible console or pc and enjoy some high quality 4k gameplay the
monitor has a bit of a bulky frame and weighs 20.9 pounds so whether that's heavy or not is up to you
it definitely has a very solid build quality and you can tell the first time you pick it up other
benq mobius gaming monitors i've used in the past usually come with a silver backside but this is
my first benq monitor with an all-white backside and i think it looks better this way to be honest
there's also rgb lighting behind the monitor which can be turned on and set up through the monitor's
settings menu the front side is all black and the screen has some thin bezels around the top
and side edges which is less intrusive during gameplay the stand of the monitor is sturdy and
offers height adjustment up to 100 millimeter it's also got this cool kensington anti-theft lock slot
but you'll need additional gear to use that the inbuilt speakers are at the bottom on the front
end and take up a bit more screen real estate than the other edges there's also a speaker on the back
side the speaker system used by this monitor is benq's travolo true sound audio with dual two watt
integrated speakers and one five watts subwoofer honestly it sounds great without the addition of
any external speaker system see this plant over here it's called south brush come gather its
berries in your pouch there are multiple audio modes to pick from that produce different sound
effects for different types of games or other use of the display i told you gather the berry
pay attention and gather the berries hey come now gather the berries i told you gather the berries
pay attention and gather the berries from an fps mode that lets you hear enemy footsteps
clearly to sports or racing game with clear sports casting and overall more immersive sports sounds
the monitor is also supposed to feature two ai noise canceling microphones in an array built into
the front speakers of the monitor this could be very useful for anyone who doesn't want to get a
dedicated mic or when you get tired of using your headphones like i do after long sessions the ai
smartly distinguishes human voices and filters out surrounding noises such as your keyboard clutters
mouse clicks
pc case fans and other similar noises i tried getting this mode to work using my ps5 and my pc
there's no instruction on how to use this feature in the manual but i read online that you could
enable the mic using a usbc upstream cable and i tried doing that but no dice maybe i
used the wrong cable or did it wrong but i tried everything and still couldn't get them to turn
on if you find out how to do this i'd really love to know down in the comments section below the
screen size is 31.5 inches but approximated to 32 inches which is great for gaming especially at a
desk the screen can be swiveled right or left to a maximum of 15 degrees from the stand's axis it can
also be tilted forward to a maximum of 5 degrees and backward to 15 degrees maximum it has a 4k
hertz refresh rate ips display for ultra high definition and high frame rate gameplay so if
you want that super smooth silky you know buttery gameplay you know 120 hertz 144 hertz even when
you're you know working with pc then you should definitely consider this monitor the monitor also
has a one millisecond mprt response rate which is great for playing games with fast moving scenes
like car racing games sports games or even first-person shooters like halo
the screen also supports hdr 600 with a max brightness of 600 nits as well as 98 p3 and 99
adobe rgb color space for more saturated and more accurate colors when gaming or working
with creative applications like photoshop the ips display has a 1000 to 1 contrast ratio
which means the black levels won't be the greatest out there a high contrast ratio basically means
darker blacks and a low contrast ratio such as you know 1 000 to 1 on this monitor means brighter
more visible somewhat gray blacks if you're on the hunt for something with richer blacks
and better saturation i think an oled display might be worth considering instead around back
there's some great connectivity options there's one display port 1.4 input two hdmi 2.1 inputs
one usb 3.0 type b upstream input four usb 3.0 type a downstream inputs one 3.5 millimeter audio
output for wired headphones and the power adapters input this means you can connect two consoles
and a pc all at the same time to this monitor and i mean without the use of an hdmi switcher
the bandwidth of its two hdmi 2.1 inputs are not 32 gigabits or 40 gigabits they're true hdmi 2.1
with 48 gigabits and that means you can play games at up to 4k at 144 hertz on pcs with graphics card
compatible with hdmi 2.1 or displayport 1.4 for consoles like the ps5 or xbox series x
that means you can play games at up to 4k at 120 hertz not 144 hertz the monitor comes with a nice
and small remote control with that you can control volume adjust screen brightness quickly access the
on-screen display or osd settings select audio mode select what input you want to play on
enable and select the hdri type select the game mode adjust scenario settings power
on and off the monitor some additional features of this monitor that can boost overall gameplay
experience include hdr and when i say hdr i mean hdr 10 and hdr 600 which helps in
expanding the contrast ratio to achieve more details across any image on the screen
especially since it's got a low contrast ratio it also uses benq's hdri proprietary technology
to simulate hdr effect for standard content there is game hdri and cinema hdri to choose from to
enhance content that's already been displayed in hdr game hdri retains more detail and offers truer
game visuals cinema hdri on the other hand helps in retaining the most natural colors when a scene
is too bright or too dark that means overexposed washed out images or even major loss of details
light tuner and black equalizer are two great smart features that can help remedy that they kick
in automatically whenever their logic determines an adjustment needs to be made to overly bright
or dark scenes you can turn them off in the osd if you prefer to display without any auto adjustments
something to note about both is that they won't kick in if a scene doesn't call for correction
and only adjust scenes as much as needed to provide the best viewing experience for the user
light tuner has 20 levels of intensity to select from and this determines how aggressive the smart
feature will act when enabled it essentially brightens up sections of the screen where details
are hidden this is great for exploratory titles that often contain dark scenes and hidden items
like horizon black equalizer on the other hand reclaims details from areas of the screen that
are meant to be dark but turn out to be too dark after rendering it's somewhat opposite to light
tuner but the end result of either one is the same light turner reclaims details that are lost in
bright areas while black equalizer does the same but for dark areas the default monitor settings
for color might not work well for every game and here's where the color vibrance feature comes
into play on this monitor color vibrance creates 20 color intensity levels for you to choose from
the feature is easily accessible to the on-screen settings and i'd say it's useful for anyone
who wants more control over the color intensity of different games some games might lack color depth
and look washed out right out of the box but with color vibrance that can certainly be rectified
another useful gaming feature is amd's freesync premium pro for syncing this monitor's frame rates
with the frame rate of the graphics card in your pc or console to avoid issues like screen tiering
you'll need an amd gpu to exploit this feature so freesync premium works with the
ps5 and xbox series x since they both use amd gpus it doesn't officially support nvidia's g
sync so you probably won't get premium g-sync features if you have an nvidia gpu inside your
pc like i do but it'll provide some basic screen tier prevention at least if you turn on the g-sync
feature in nvidia's control center you can also pick between three game modes for the most common
gaming scenarios these apply settings to enhance both your audio and video for those scenarios
fps is great for first-person shooters rpg for role-playing games and spg or you know racing game
mode for sports and racing games scenario mapping is another really cool feature of this monitor
that i'm really loving so far it allows you to set up up to three presets to quickly switch between
when gaming you need to have this feature turned on before you can use it you can quickly access
each preset using a button on the remote control you can also set up different game standard and
cinema mode presets for each hdmi input and the single display port input due to how much time we
spend in front of a screen eye care technology is important now more than ever this monitor features
some great eye care technology like flicker free backlighting low blue lights to reduce the amount
of harmful blue light coming from the screen e-paper mode for a simulated ebook mode that
provides clear black and white's reading layouts for a comfortable region experience color weakness
mode technology that uses red and green filters to help people who suffer from most common type of
you know color blindness and finally brightness intelligence plus technology that adjusts the
display's brightness and color temperature for the most comfortable viewing experience
there you have it guys that's really all there is to say about the ex-3210u monitor from benq
in summary this monitor has some pretty awesome features for gaming but it does lack in the
contrast ratio at one thousand to one but that's very much expected with ips panels
and there are lots of features within the monitor you know that help improve on that the biggest
thing for me with this monitor is the amount of customization available for different gameplay
