At Gamescom 2022 in Cologne, BenQ introduced the new OLED gaming monitor Mobiuz EX480UZ. This is the first 4K OLED monitor from the brand, it has a 48-inch diagonal, a resolution of 3840×2160 pixels (4K), and promises a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz – both on the PC and a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X.
BenQ EX480UZ is an HDMI 2.1 monitor, that has a real 10-bit color depth which is just as much at the start as a 0.1 ms faster gray change and DisplayHDR 400 True Black. Furthermore, a contrast ratio of 135,000:1, DCI-P3 coverage of 98 percent, and a typical brightness of 450 cd/m² are offered.
VRR (“Variable Refresh Rate”) and FreeSync Premium ensure tearing -free gaming fun – so BenQ didn’t opt for the Pro version, which could handle active HDR.
Two stereo loudspeakers with 5 watts each and a 10-watt subwoofer are also part of the feature set, as are OSD options for black stabilization and against the blurring of moving images.
The range of interfaces on the 48-inch OLED gaming monitor includes two HDMI 2.1 inputs, a DisplayPort 1.4, a USB 3.2 hub, a headphone output, and USB-C with DisplayPort alternate mode and 90-watt power supply. In terms of ergonomics, tilt, VESA mount (200 x 200 mm), blue light filtering, and a mode for people with color blindness are available.
