Best Monitor for Taking on Dying Light 2 Stay Human

Hard to believe, but we’ve been enjoying Dying Light 2 for a month now. This huge game has so many quests, side missions, and interesting characters, that finishing the main story soon becomes a secondary objective. Also, the co-op aspect is quite fun if you want to play together with friends. Working together is especially useful for handling some of our favorite activities, which are best done at night. Those include liberating or unlocking metro stations and taking on mighty GRE anomalies. You can do these solo, but they might be a bit tough. 

Unlike the first Dying Light, moving around at night isn’t so dangerous unless you stop and pick a fight with the infected. And that’s likely to happen because the best rewards are obtainable at night. As we said, unlocking metro stations (which serve as fast travel locations) is lots of fun, but really shows that you need a good display with precision brightness. We hooked our Xbox Series X to a QLED TV from a major brand, and the image is great, but within the metro, darkness can be overwhelming and appear uniform, crushing details. 

On the EX3210R with its DisplayHDR 400 and Light Tuner, we still got the same imposing night effect, but details were retained to a greater degree. It was easier to spot lurking enemies, and that’s important because they’re generally dormant unless you stumble on them. 

Another aspect of Dying Light 2 that really benefits from precision brightness are dark zones that hide GRE inhibitors. Those are the most valuable items in the game, as inhibitors increase your character’s stamina or health, and also immunity. The more immunity you have, the longer you can survive in the dark. You start the game with around four minutes of immunity, but with inhibitors gradually raise that. Every second counts! Anyway, to get the most inhibitors you’ll need to venture into maze-like dark zones where it’s really easy to get lost if your screen isn’t precise enough. Get lost and bump into a giant goon infected that can crush you with a few blows. So you see why good brightness control is absolutely essential in Dying Light 2. 

The EX3210R packs tons of assists in your arsenal of gaming. With HDRi, Black eQualizer, and Light Tuner, you get amazing visual fidelity. Brightness, contrast, and color temperature are all automatically optimized as you play to ensure the most accurate depiction of game graphics. As mentioned above, details are super important in Dying Light 2. You rely on finding resources and spotting enemies in all kinds of places around the City, and if your display loses detail definition in very bright or dark portions of the screen, then you miss out. That’s not going to happen with the EX3210R.

For fans of the Dyi­­­ng Light series, which is now finally a series indeed after a long wait, this version of the EX3210R is a must-have. And if you’re into high performance gaming in general, then you’ll get a lot of value out of the EX3210R with its many exciting features. Good night, and good luck!
