BenQ Mobiuz EX2510 24.5"

The BenQ Mobiuz EX2510 delivers smooth 144Hz gaming with FreeSync Premium and built-in speakers, but the display and color quality are below average. At $600 USD, it's overpriced for a 1080p panel. Only buy it if you specifically need a 24.5 inch high-refresh screen with speakers and don't care about image quality.

The 144Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time are the stars here. That combo keeps fast-paced games feeling responsive, and FreeSync Premium helps eliminate screen tearing. Performance sits at the 73rd percentile, which is well above average for this category. But the display itself only hits the 39th percentile, and color accuracy is even lower at 33rd. So you get smooth motion, but the image quality won't wow anyone. HDRi tries to punch up contrast and colors, but on a 1080p IPS panel without serious brightness, it's more of a software tweak than a real HDR experience.

Stacked against the competition, the EX2510 feels outgunned. The LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B and ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCDMG are in a completely different league with higher resolutions and better panels, though they cost more. The MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 and Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF bring OLED contrast and color that make this IPS panel look flat. Even the Dell UltraSharp U4025QW, while not a gaming monitor, crushes it on color and connectivity. The EX2510's only real advantage is that 24.5 inch size, which some competitive players prefer for keeping the whole screen in view. But at $600, you're not saving enough money to justify the compromises.

At $600 USD, this monitor is in a weird spot. That's a lot of money for a 1080p panel in 2025, even with 144Hz. You can find 1440p high-refresh options in the same price range, and some of them have better color and connectivity. The built-in speakers are a nice touch, but they don't justify the price. If you catch this on sale, it makes more sense. At full retail, you're paying a premium for the BenQ name and the Mobiuz styling, not the actual panel quality.

The BenQ Mobiuz EX2510 is a 24.5 inch 1080p IPS panel running at 144Hz. It's aimed at gamers who want smooth motion without breaking the bank or their desk. The headline features are FreeSync Premium, HDRi, and built-in speakers.

But here's the thing. Our database puts this monitor's gaming score at 44 out of 100. That's not great. The performance percentile lands at 73, which is solid, but the display and color scores drag the overall picture down. It's a capable budget gaming screen with some real compromises.

Skip this if you care about image quality. The display and color scores are below average, and at $600 USD you can get a 1440p high-refresh monitor with better color and connectivity. Also skip it if you need ergonomic adjustments, the stand options are nearly nonexistent. And if you want real HDR, this isn't it. Look at OLED or mini-LED options instead.

This monitor is for a specific buyer. If you want a 24.5 inch 1080p screen with 144Hz and you absolutely need built-in speakers, the EX2510 does that job. Competitive gamers who prioritize frame rate over resolution and color accuracy will appreciate the smooth motion. But most people should look elsewhere. The display quality, color, and connectivity all fall below average, and the price doesn't reflect those limitations. It's a niche product that BenQ is charging mainstream money for.
