Review on BenQ XL2546K - Adjustable Height, Tilt, Pivot; Flicker-Free Gaming Monitor by Andrew Boone

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Zowie, the brand you should have bought

It rarely seems that a company gets everything right. Right from the start: not only was the box easy to open (rare), but the packaging also allowed for easy removal of the components. Impeccable packaging. Even small touches like using sliver to prevent accidentally breaking the retractable cable mount are good as the sliver leaves no residue and is easy to remove. I feel like they experimented with many different packaging options to find the perfect fit for each scenario. Let's get to the setup: Absurdly simple. The stand works really well, everything is in a minimalist design which is nice, but setting it up is as simple as attaching the monitor to the stand and connecting the stand to the base using the locking system. Did. The stand allows the monitor to rotate around any axis, which is great. The monitor comes with the correct cable. Wonderful. They don't bother giving you HDMI as I believe even HDMI 2.1 will run at 144Hz max, but you get a DisplayPort cable for the proper 240Hz and it just works. All the attention to detail really draws me in, as do those little things. Impressive: Arrow on the bottom of the stand and base for dead center alignment, no marks or buttons on the monitor frame for a perfectly clean presentation (buttons on the back and easily accessible), dust cover and side brackets in case you want extra shielding. Seriously, whoever is responsible for your packaging and product design, you've nailed it.
