Any monitor of this size is an eye-catcher, and it’s no different with the EX3501R. On the other hand, the idea of a 35-inch curved, ultrawide monitor “blending in” is a bit of a paradox. It certainly doesn’t feature the chrome and flash of a gaming monitor from Asus or Acer. The EX3501R doesn’t have ultra-thin bezels, and even the base and back have an inoffensive silver finish. The company’s monitors are meant to blend into the surroundings of the office, rather than stand out with flashy design. Blending in - until you turn it onīenQ monitors have a look or, perhaps, an intentional absence of a look. That’s impressive, even next to its competitors from LG, Dell, and HP. The BenQ EX3501R won’t change your mind if spending close to a thousand bucks on a monitor makes you cringe – but while $900 might sound like a lot, the EX3501R has a huge suite of features to back it up including HDR support, EyeCare technology, a 100Hz refresh rate, FreeSync, and 35 inches of glorious ultrawide screen space.
