Our take
I've been using the BenQ ZOWIE XL2566X+ for a few weeks now, and it's clearly built for competitive gaming. The 400Hz refresh rate is incredibly smooth, and DyAc 2 does a solid job reducing motion blur in shooters. Colors and viewing angles are typical for a TN panel—not great, but that's the tradeoff for speed. Setup was straightforward, though I wish the OSD was more intuitive. At $562, it's pricey for 1080p, but if you prioritize refresh rate above all else, this monitor delivers. Just don't expect vibrant visuals for media consumption.
