Color Vibrance gives you the flexibility to easily tune preferred color tone and makes color grading more defined. With 20 levels of Color Vibrance settings, you can get specific viewing requirements and preferences for all types of gameplay.

The height adjustable stand can be operated with just one finger allowing you to easily obtain your preferred viewing angle, maximizing comfort.

To customize the XL with different usage scenarios, the S-Switch is designed for easy access to monitor menu, switch between saved modes, and quick change between connected devices. To go your preferred display settings with selected models, S-Switch allows you to save and transfer 3 profiles with driverless design within the same model.

Every game has its own optimal settings. We've outfitted every XL-series monitor with several settings. You can easily switch to these game modes with the touch of a hot key.

Concentration is a key factor in e-Sports. The XL-series LCD frame was specially designed to reduce light reflection from the screen, helping to keep your focus on the game.

Pros: Buttery smooth experience in every aspect of use. The little controller is a feature I didnt know I needed so bad- its wonderful to up your gamma or black level with such speed and ease instead of going for the buttons on the monitor. USB ports actually stay on when the monitor is off, this is an odd feature but its one I specifically need. Headset hangar is a nice touch, keeps it away from the toddler.
Cons: Wish it had a little more down angle in its adjustment, but I have an odd setup and like to look up a bit at my display. I can figure something out. Viewing angle might be an issue for some but this is for PC gaming - balls out, so you dont care about people next to you seeing whats on screen.
Overall Review: If you want a product made for PC Gaming in every sense of the word and need that performance regardless of your GPU or its age (in my case) - this monitor is a good one that can grow with your system for a while as new hardware pushes framerates in more games.
