About this product
The BenQ ZOWIE XL2731K is a 27-inch gaming monitor with a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, designed specifically for FPS esports. It features a 1080p LCD display with 16:9 aspect ratio, 320 cd/m² brightness, and 1000:1 contrast ratio.

Our take
The XL2731K brings ZOWIE's competitive gaming DNA to a 27-inch screen. The 240Hz and 1ms specs are spot on for fast-paced shooters. However, at $675, you're paying a premium for a 1080p TN panel. Colors are decent but not vibrant, and viewing angles are narrow. It's built for pure performance, but the price may be a tough pill to swallow.
