The screen size is 27 inches
The screen size is 27 inches, which is just a little larger.
A larger screen has the advantage of making games look more exciting and making it easier to work with multiple windows and software open.
On the other hand, it is said that it is a slight disadvantage in games where speed is important because the viewing area becomes wider. Another disadvantage is that it takes up space on the desk.
Supports 4K resolution (3840 x 2160)
The resolution supports 4K resolution (3840 x 2160), so you can play games and watch videos in high resolution. Compared to the general resolution of Full HD, the resolution is significantly improved, so the image looks much clearer.
4K resolution is recommended for those who want to enjoy high-graphics games to the fullest.
However, please note that not only the monitor but also the connected device such as a PC must support 4K output.
Maximum refresh rate is 144Hz
The maximum refresh rate is 144Hz. It does not support high refresh rates such as 240Hz or 360Hz, but it can support refresh rates of around 120Hz.
It has a resolution of 4K, making it a recommended monitor for those who prioritize resolution over refresh rate.
Equipped with 2.1ch speakers
Some monitors have built-in speakers, while others don't, but the EX2710U is equipped with 2.1ch speakers.
Many people use earphones or a headset when playing games such as FPS games, but when playing games where the direction of the sound is not that important, it might be a good idea to try using these speakers.
Speakers have the advantage of eliminating the need for earphones or a headset, reducing strain on your ears and head.
On the other hand, if the sound is too loud it may disturb your neighbours, so be careful with the volume.
Equipped with five sound modes that allow you to change the characteristics of the sound
This speaker is equipped with five sound modes, allowing you to change the sound characteristics to suit the occasion.
Specifically, there are five modes: Cinema, Pop/Live, FPS, Sports Mode, and Racing.
This is a convenient feature that optimizes the sound by switching modes, such as Cinema when watching movies and FPS when playing FPS games.
Equipped with a microphone with noise canceling function
It also has a speaker, a microphone and noise cancelling function.
Monitors equipped with microphones are rare, so I think this is revolutionary as it allows you to use voice chat without having to use a headset.
You can choose from two directivity modes: omnidirectional and private mode. Since omnidirectional tends to pick up ambient sounds, it's best to use private mode.
Equipped with HDMI, DisplayPort, and earphone jack
The ports on the back are 2 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort, and 1 earphone jack.
Although it doesn't have many ports, you can keep up to three devices plugged in. What if you don't have enough HDMI ports?HDMI SwitchI think it might be a good idea to try using it.
You probably won't need an earphone jack in general, but it might be a good idea to use it when the earphone jack on your PC is too far away.
Can also be used as a USB hub
If you connect the EX2710U to a PC via USB, you can use the EX2710U as a USB hub.
It has four USB 3.0 ports that allow for high-speed communication, which is convenient when your PC has few USB ports or when they are already full.
Please note that there are three ports with a usable current of 0.9A and one port with a usable current of 1.5A, so please be careful about the current draw of what you connect.
Height adjustment function allows for a maximum height of 100mm
It also has a height adjustment function that allows you to raise it by up to 100mm.
If the height of your desk or chair does not match your monitor, you can use this function to adjust the height. By raising the height, you can easily place small items around the monitor.
The angle can be adjusted up, down, left and right
Not only the height but also the angle can be adjusted. The up/down angle (tilt) can be adjusted from -5° to 15°, and the left/right angle (swivel) can be adjusted in increments of 15° to the left and right.
This is a useful function when the monitor is difficult to see even after adjusting the height, or when sunlight or lighting is reflecting off it.
A monitor arm (sold separately) can also be attached.
There is a VESA mount on the back, so you can attach a monitor arm.
It is also recommended for those who don't want to use up space on their desk or who want more freedom in deciding the position of their monitor.
Easy to operate with the included remote control
It comes with a remote control that makes it easy to adjust the brightness.
- Power On/Off
- Menu and quick menu operations
- Adjusting the brightness
- Volume adjustment and mute operations
Such operations are possible. Most monitors have buttons or sticks for operation on the main unit, so it is rare to find a monitor that comes with a remote control.
The official price is about 130,000 yen
The official price is about 130,000 yen. To be honest, it is quite expensive compared to other monitors.
Be sure to check the features carefully, such as performance such as resolution and refresh rate, as well as height and angle adjustment functions, and purchase it only if you have the budget.
