27" BenQ PD2700U gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the BenQ PD2700U has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 24 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. The BenQ PD2700U is a relatively new monitor. In terms of pixel density, the BenQ PD2700U has an excellent density of 163 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The BenQ PD2700U has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor has a VESA mount. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. For graphics color quality, the BenQ PD2700U has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The minimum response rate of BenQ PD2700U is 5 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. The brightness of BenQ PD2700U is lower than other monitors. For the average response rate, the BenQ PD2700U scores 14 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. BenQ PD2700U has a total input lag of 21.5 ms, which is bad among the competition. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1300 : 1. The BenQ PD2700U has a maximum refresh rate of 76 Hz and this may be too low for the extremely fast frame rates in competitive games.
