BenQ XL2546K - Adjustable Height, Tilt, Pivot; Flicker-Free Gaming Monitor Review

I've been using the display since April 2020 so had plenty of time to get used to it and give it a good shake. Brightness: If you turn DyAc+ on and leave it on, the brightness can be adjusted to the maximum. like 400+ nits. However, if you disable DyAc+, the brightness drops to around 320 nits. Personally, I always leave DyAc+ enabled. 2D image quality at 27 inches: Many people think they see pixelation at 1080p/27 inches, but in my case I don't notice it as I'm sitting about 2 feet away. from…

[TL; DR Pros and Cons] Pros: *** VERY fast response time No screen tearing Good viewing angles (for a TN panel) Really smooth gaming experience Excellent customer support Can technically run Xbox Series X at 1080p 120 FPS Cons: Inaccurate color reproduction (also like all TN panels) (Solved via BenQ Customer Support) The Dead Pixels console setup needs to be crude (at least in my experience) to support 120fps at 1080p. [General Thoughts] This monitor is designed for PC gamers who are serious…

Dillacorn Review: I recommend watching the ViewSonic XG2431 "Optimum Tech" video on YouTube. A quick look at the XL2546K vs XG2431 comparison: I liked the monitor, but I found the ViewSonic XG2431 monitor had better motion clarity and color reproduction, so I'll stick with it instead. When gaming, I noticed the BenQ's strobe effect on fast turns, while I didn't notice any ViewSonic strobe effect in comparison. However, the ViewSonic XG2431 produces much better colors and this was a major hurdle

I had a BenQ XL2411z which I have been happy with for many years. However, the panel lottery is very bad. I was lucky enough to get a pretty good XL2411z after the previous RMA. I just wanted to "upgrade" because this monitor didn't have the display port I needed for my new AMD 5700. I read that the Viewsonic XG2402 was better than the XL2411z so I got it as a replacement. I was very dissatisfied with the horrible viewing angles to the point where there is no distance or angle you can sit from…

I've loved playing video games since I was a kid. As I got older, I became more competitive in my gameplay. My favorite game franchise is Gears of War and I've spent a lot of time making it extremely successful. However, I realized that I needed lower input latencies and would be playing against people who had more advantage because they were playing at higher frames and slower response times. This prompted me to buy a BenQ Zowie monitor. After using this product for 2 months I can confidently…

I got this monitor to up my Halo Infinite game on the X series - this monitor definitely did its job. I highly recommend that all heavy players switch from 60fps to 120fps - 1v1 fights are easier with fewer "how the hell did I lose that fight" moments. This monitor is perfect for gaming if you're willing to sacrifice image quality (I prefer to win nice graphics, but others may have different priorities). For anything other than gaming, this monitor is not a good choice. The TN panel (and…

Pros: 144Hz, ultra-fast and responsive, DYAC setting makes this monitor the best. The overall quality of the monitor is amazing, you can adjust it vertically or horizontally with the swivel stand, as well as tilt it up and down. Hold the pen on top of the stand so you don't have to grab the screen or the bottom. Cons: The monitor's panel is TN, so colors and viewing angles are definitely not the best for viewing movies or photos. The bezel is pretty thick, it's just aesthetics so it's not a big

This monitor is an absolute steal for the price. Virtually no ghosting, and there are plenty of customization options. There's no DyAc, but if you want to try the flash you can download the Blurbusters utility, which does the same thing. I personally don't like strobe effects and they aren't very useful for games like CS, Valorant or League. Maybe a faster game like Quake or Apex could benefit from gating, but I'm not sure. The TN panel also has pretty good colors. Nothing more to say, this…

This monitor is intended for those who are on a budget or if you are still playing with your TV and want to try the monitor, note that this is a TN panel so color accuracy and viewing angles are not as good as on an IPS panel , but apart from that the monitor has a fast response time, no input lag and delivers 120 fps on next-gen consoles. Yes, you can find IPS panels for the same price, but trust me, if you mainly play FPS, you can't go wrong with this monitor. .

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…

So firstly, based on the 165Hz IPS display (it was an OMEN 27i btw), I won't lie, my eyes hurt for about a day while playing on this monitor. After about a day of use, I can't go back to my 165Hz IPS monitor. Colors are honestly very good (not the best color accuracy, but still great!) for a TN panel. If you play FPS games, DYAC is actually crazy. I think I saw a review that said DYAC on this monitor isn't worth it, but trust me it is. I can't live without it anymore lol. Oh, and I was curious…

Immediately noticed the difference of 144-240Hz in csgo and valorant; the only games I play. In terms of image quality, it's better than my 2411p, which is what you'd expect from a BenQ TN panel. Ergonomics are CRAZY, I feel so locked in when I'm at max height and leaning up. Overall worth it if you are serious about fps and used to Benq. I've heard a lot of hype about the xg2431, but I've been a Benq fan since the console days of 2015 and didn't dare shell out the same amount of money for a…

So first. This was my first 144Hz monitor upgrade. It was a lot smoother and made shooters like Apex Legends much better in terms of visual clarity. I first found this monitor used by many top tier Apex streamers like Aceu and I think Imperialhal too. iitztimmy uses a similar, but not exactly the same. For these reasons and because of the mostly positive reviews, I decided to do it. I immediately saw that it was a lot brighter than my 144Hz unit I had upgraded from, which was the Asus tuf…

First let me explain why I set the image quality to 3/5. This is a TN panel monitor, so the viewing angles and colors are nowhere near as good as an IPS panel. Still, it was such a snazzy monitor. The DyAc+ technology really makes a big difference, although in some places it's hard for the human eye to see: this DyAc+ monitor outperforms the Asus ELMB in terms of performance. If you plan on using this monitor purely for gaming, I cannot recommend it highly enough. After all these years without…

$500 price tag?… it should be worth it. It's good if you have 144 or 240 of each brand. The upgrade here is good! Not as great as the first time you experienced a high refresh rate, but it certainly feels good and consistent! If your PC's specs can't keep your 140 or 240 frames up all the time, Dyac's motion blur feature will appear when it's keeping your frames steady and appear to fade as frames rise and fall during periods of high intensity. Lobby or when the game is busy! Also, the diak at…

I'm using Xbox Series S and I've tried this monitor and it works smoothly but I'm not sure if it's correct because I've tried 120fps 1080p 144hz but it only allows me 120fps, no the other two

Looks great but it took me a while to figure out how to connect it to my computer as it won't be recognized no matter what I do. It kind of worked after trying a few YT videos but I have no idea which one.

Really great quality at an even better price. Buy this monitor if you have a PS5 and are mainly interested in multiplayer games. great settings that you can customize yourself.

Great performance, no dead pixels, great for ow2 dyac+ is a luxury I don't turn off. Save settings for different games and toggle them with one click. Good size, good shims so you can always keep them flat and straight to build good muscle memory.

I used to play with a 145hz monitor and this one has a refresh rate of 240hz and 1ms. Definitely a major gaming lifestyle change/update. I look forward to the second
