With the EX2780Q as an example, let’s take a look at what makes for an ideal gaming monitor and why a remote control forms part of the equation. The EX2780Q offers a 27” QHD panel with just the right pixel density. The beautiful, wide viewing angle 10-bit IPS screen offers the sweet spot for 2560 x 1440 (QHD) gaming at up to 144Hz, covering genres from open world adventuring to competitive fast reaction FPS-ing. HDR and wide color gamut support for color spaces beyond standard RGB (Adobe RGB and DCI-P3, notably) translate into gorgeous graphics. AMD FreeSync eliminates annoying screen tearing and makes sure your video card and the EX2780Q always, well, see eye to eye.
On the audio front you get two speakers plus a subwoofer for true 2.1 channel sound, with a headphone out obviously included for times when consideration of others is a priority.
Noticing a theme? The EX2780Q was built from the ground up to offer features that gamers actually need, want, and use. Not including a remote control would simply be weird at this point. Hence, gaming monitors in the EX2780Q’s league have remote controls, because that’s one feature skimping on makes zero sense. Sure, you can get a cheapo “gaming” monitor with basic features, but that’s not going to be the same experience by a long shot.
