About this product
The BenQ ZOWIE XL2566X+ is a 24.1-inch TN gaming monitor with an extreme 400Hz refresh rate and DyAc 2 technology for blur reduction. It features a 1920x1080 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 320 cd/m² brightness, and 1x HDMI 2.0 plus DisplayPort inputs. Designed for esports, this monitor prioritizes speed and responsiveness over image quality. Priced at $475, it's aimed at competitive gamers.
Our take
As a competitive FPS player, the 400Hz refresh rate on this ZOWIE is incredible. Motion clarity is superb, and DyAc 2 reduces blur to near CRT levels. The TN panel means viewing angles are narrow and colors washed out, but for pure performance, it's hard to beat. The 24.1-inch size is perfect for fast head movements, and the build is solid with full ergonomic adjustments. However, the lack of HDR and limited connectivity might bother some. If esports is your priority, this monitor excels.
