About this product
The BenQ EX3501R is a 35-inch curved ultrawide LED gaming monitor with a 3440x1440 resolution, 21:9 aspect ratio, and 100 Hz refresh rate. It offers 4 ms response time, 300 cd/m² brightness, and 2500:1 contrast ratio. Video inputs include VGA, DisplayPort, USB-C, HDMI, and USB 3.0. It also comes with a Sonos Ray Soundbar. Suitable for graphic design and gaming, it features a tiltable, curved screen with USB hub.
Our take
I picked up the EX3501R bundle mainly for the ultrawide screen and the included Sonos Ray soundbar. The 35-inch curved VA panel gives good immersion, and 3440x1440 is sharp for gaming and work. That said, the 100 Hz refresh rate feels a bit dated compared to newer 144 Hz+ monitors. Response time at 4 ms is fine for casual play but not ideal for fast competitive shooters. The stand is tiltable but lacks height adjustment. At this price, it's a decent entry into ultrawide if you value resolution over raw speed.
