Features
Smaller Base — More Playing Space
New base is designed to take up less space while maintaining the same stability. This allows gamers more space in their setup for in-game movements and allows them the flexibility to make adjustments and play comfortably.
Fluid & flexible adjustment – More comfort in-game
We understand that each player has his/her own unique combination of monitor height and angle adjustment. With height adjustment & free tilt, players are able to setup quickly and conveniently resulting in a more comfortable playing environment.
XL Setting to Share
Share your own settings with a teammate, friend or your fans. Save video profiles quickly and share conveniently through a simple user interface.
Quick Access Settings
The change to the user interface and S-Switch (XS250, optional) is more than just cosmetic. The redesigned interface provides you the ability to customize which FPS settings you would like to access quickly via quick menu, and then allows you to access them with one-touch. Setting up before games or during rounds is now much more convenient.
DyAc Technology — A Different Spray Feeling
DyAc makes vigorous in-game actions such as spraying less blur. This allows gamers to see the position of crosshair and impact points more clearly which can help with recoil control.
Note: Due to the design limitations of the panel, the brightness of the XL2411K will be reduced when DyAc is switched on; it won’t happen on XL2546/XL2546S/XL2546K/XL2746S.
Make visual adjustments based on your in-game needs
Black eQualizer to increase visibility in dark scenes without overexposing the bright areas, Color Vibrance to adjust color setting and tone to differentiate enemy targets in-game, and Game modes to switch between presets for different game titles– these are all adjustments that allow players to play with their preferred visual settings.
No compromise in durability for aesthetics
During the design process, durability was not sacrificed for aesthetics. The LCD panel is better protected through a frame design that provides added resistance on the sides. This is especially useful when transporting the monitors to LAN events or BYOC’s.
Pros: The difference between 144hz and 60hz is NIGHT AND DAY! I play Apex Legends and my accuracy went up two fold! All the chopiness disappeared. It feels like its built well, unlike my ASUS monitor which felt cheap. 3 hdmi ports and Display Port. I am very satisfied.
Cons: Like every other review, the color sucks. But a few tweaks made it better and I'm interested in performance over color. I have one dead pixel after 2 weeks. The unfortunate part about BENQ is they only cover replacement if you have 3 or more dead pixels. And while Newegg does cover one dead pixel, you are responsible for the shipping and potentially a restock fee. So I decided to just keep it. The dead pixel is only noticeable on white background (surfing the web), but during gaming and movies I can't see it at all. The last con is that the lock that supposed to keep the monitor in position for height doesn't work, and I'm nervous that over time the stand will loosen up and I won't be able to make the monitor go higher.
Overall Review: If you play shooter games and want to get to 140 fps on a budget, this is a great bang for your buck. High quality monitor. I think the one just might be slightly imperfect and I'm sure if I reached out to BenQ or Newegg I could get a replacement, I just don't want to be down a monitor right now and go back to 60 fps. I'm sure when you purchase one you probably won't have any issues and it is worth it!
