BenQ's 27-inch monitor is a solid QD-OLED contender, but I wouldn't spend $100 more for 4K over 500Hz

Our BenQ Mobiuz EX271UZ review is now live, and while it's a little tame on features, the gaming monitor's QD-OLED efforts are impressive. You're practically getting the vibrancy that can trade blows with seasoned wielders of the panel, paired with the quality you'd expect from the longstanding display maker, but there's actually a 1440p 500Hz version of its 27-inch screen that feels like a better choice for $100 less.

Over at Amazon, the 1440p 500Hz BenQ Mobiuz EX271QZ and its aforementioned 4K sibling sit side by side. For whatever reason, the QHD version is available for $849.99, while the UHD model is $100 more at $949.99. My issue is that it feels like there should be a different pricing tier happening here, and the latter version feels better equipped to take on contenders in its category than the 4K model.
