HOW BIG IS TOO BIG for a gaming monitor? Competitive gamers prefer them small and fast, while single-player gamers tend to go big and colorful. The BenQ Mobiuz EX480UZ aims to cater to the latter group, combining all of the benefits of an OLED TV with the features of a gaming monitor.
The EX480UZ is a massive 48-inch 4K OLED screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz and support for HDR10. This monster OLED does a great job of making PC games pop while also offering the sort of insane scale that benefits cinematic, story-driven titles. The big difference between these large OLED monitors and similar TVs is connectivity. This has a more PC-friendly DisplayPort and two console-friendly HDMI 2.1 ports. It also has two USB 3.0 ports, a 90W USB Type-C downstream port to charge your devices, a USB Type-B port, and a S/PDIF jack. That’s pretty impressive, though an extra HDMI port or two would have been handy.
The ergonomics of the Mobiuz aren’t great as a PC monitor. The legs take up a lot of space, so you’ll need a large desk to make this thing work. It also has a limited tilt, meaning you could have trouble finding a comfortable viewing angle.
Ideally, you want space between your face and a monitor of this size but with the Mobiuz being so huge, there’s no way to safely push it back without it falling off most desks. That distance can make things uncomfortable for a day of working—sitting so close presents issues with text readability, even with text scaling applied.
