The OnePlus Monitor X 27 comes in a single spec for now. It has a 2560x1440 (QHD) resolution and 165Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time. The usual stuff right? On the flip side, LG and BenQ don’t actually have 165Hz refresh rates at this price point. The spec equivalent of this OnePlus monitor from the competition is well beyond ₹30K.
So, you’re saving a few extra grand by opting for a monitor by a brand that has never really made one in the past. Is it as good? It’s surprisingly very good. The OnePlus Monitor X 27 has richer and better contrast than the BenQ monitors. It’s almost on par with my personal LG Ultragear 2K 144Hz monitor but somehow the OnePlus feels like the more premium of the two. The blacks are deeper and the colour uniformity is kept in check.
It has 350nits of brightness and comes with VESA DisplayHDR 400 which does a fabulous job of producing HDR content while gaming. There’s very little stuttering or ghosting too. Especially while playing racing games like Need for Speed Unbound and Forza Horizon 5.
