Test the BenQ EX3210U: 4K gaming at 144Hz and HDRi

The accessories included with the manufacturer with the BenQ EX3210U include everything you need to get started right away. This is basically a DisplayPort and a certified HDMI 2.1 cable that allows 4K gaming at 120Hz. A USB 3.0 upload cable, an external power supply with a long power cable and a quick start guide are also included in the scope of delivery. A special feature of the current theme is that the display can be controlled using a remote control, which is also provided (button battery included).

optics and mechanics

It rarely happens that the screen still offers special visual features. The BenQ EX3210U works. In the almost uniform black of most screens, the white case with a red and silver base stands out clearly. The front area of ​​the case is also black, but the contrasting color difference between light and dark makes it stand out. The bezel is only about 2mm thick on three sides of the screen, but the used area of ​​the screen is then indented by about 5mm. The bezel is approximately 3.4 cm high at the bottom edge of the screen. On the other hand, the back of the case is completely white and has a slightly rough surface. The X is a very informal design element, each end of which can be lit by the built-in RGB LED strips.

On the front housing frame, the manufacturer’s lettering in raised letters is placed in the left corner and the HDRi button, which provides direct access to HDR picture modes, is placed in the right corner.

The light sensor for automatic backlight adjustment when “BI +” is activated in the OSD is located in the center, and is also placed on the front housing frame. On the back of the case, which in itself remains simple, BenQ cleverly set the scene for Mobiuz’s lettering in reflective letters.

Furthermore, the BenQ EX3210U has RGB LED lighting on the back of the case. The brightness can be turned on and off in the OSD of the monitor. There are nine colors and six lighting effects to choose from. It is convenient for the RGB lighting to turn off when the device goes to sleep mode.

A good overall package is offered in terms of ergonomics. The only thing missing is the option to flip the screen upright (pivot). The height of the BenQ EX3210U can be adjusted infinitely between a minimum of 7.5 cm and a maximum of 17.5 cm.

It is also possible to turn the screen sideways, but the mechanism is limited here and only allows an angle of 15 degrees to the right and left.

The tilt of the BenQ EX3210U can also be changed, and here too, large angles are not possible with 3 degrees forward and 16 degrees backward. However, under normal circumstances, the flexibility offered should be sufficient.

The BenQ EX3210U Stand consists of two parts which must be assembled first before the monitor can be used. No tools required for assembly. The base is first attached to the connecting piece with the wing bolt. The stand is then simply attached to the back of the monitor housing. A clearly audible click ensures that the holder is properly locked in place.

While the connector to the display is white, the V-shaped stand is silver and the inside is painted red. The slot in the stand is a simple but effective cable passage that helps keep your desk tidy. The opening is large enough to feed through large plugs and multiple cables.

If you still want to use an alternative mounting option, the BenQ EX3210U offers a VESA mount with a 100mm hole distance. It is located below the original stand holder. Necessary mounting screws are already included.
