Score: 81/100Rankings
The BenQ MOBIUZ EX240N is a 23.8" VA gaming monitor that delivers a rapid 165 Hz refresh rate, deep contrast and built-in speakers at an affordable price. It targets competitive gamers who value smooth motion and eye-care features, but its modest brightness, lack of USB connectivity and limited ergonomics keep it from being a universal choice.
The LG 27U631A-B delivers a crisp QHD IPS panel with accurate colors and a smooth 100 Hz refresh, complemented by USB-C docking and eye-care features. Its sleek, borderless design is appealing, but ergonomic adjustments are limited and it lacks built-in speakers and adaptive-sync.
