Enhance Your Gaming Experience with BenQ Zowie RL2455T Monitor: Flicker-Free, 1920X1080P and HDMI Connectivity Review

I bought this monitor a little over a week ago and will write about its pros and cons. I have used this monitor on XB1 and PS4. PROS: - Everything worked right out of the box, no dead pixels or anything. All accessories were present. I've seen many people mention this issue on both this model and the older version. I was fine. Upscaling to 1080p from a larger 720p TV was nice. For the most part, the stand is relatively solid and well built; This is generally a problem with most monitors, but…

Works great for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. I immediately noticed a difference in input lag compared to my Samsung TV. It looks like an arcade screen in comparison. For the price I am completely satisfied. One of the best buys I've made for gaming all year, a big improvement. I recommend this monitor for Nintendo Switch and Smash Ultimate. The internal speakers are a great feature, the sound is sufficient and loud enough. I use them and haven't felt the need to buy external speakers. I think…

This monitor is built tough and looks pretty good after calibration. My only complaint about this monitor is that it doesn't have the right settings to reduce the horrible ghosting of TN panels. It claims to be there (called AMA in settings), but it's too strong and causes an even bigger problem than ghosting and blowouts. This leads to significant monitor overshoot in both High and Premium modes. If you don't know what overshoot is I suggest you go to the testufo website and use their Halo…

I bought this gaming monitor in August 2018 so I have 7 months and 400 hours of total playtime with it on my PS4 Slim. The games that are mainly played on this monitor are Destiny 2, Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy XV, Monster Hunter World and most recently Apex Legends. Pros: + Simple hardware setup + Easy access to controls (buttons on the right edge of the monitor) + Has built-in speakers + Customizable monitor settings, up to 3 different monitor settings can be saved. + Built-in FPS monitor

This is my first gaming monitor purchase and I love it. The screen quality and texture rendering on this monitor is second to none compared to my TV and it was brand new. At first I just played my FPS on it since it has a 1ms pixel refresh, but then I started playing all my games on it and they look a lot better. Recommend it to anyone who plays games. I have mine at the entertainment center but will be buying a table for it soon as the only downsides are the monitor is smaller than I'm used to

I am currently using this monitor for my PS4 Pro so the 1ms response time was great for Call of Duty IW and Rocket League. I'm also really into RPGs like Mass of Fact, Fallout 4 and Dragons Age Inquisition. I can honestly say that for a TN display this monitor is amazing in terms of both detail and color reproduction and has performed great with all of these games. Prior to this purchase I bought an Asus VG245H and was very disappointed with both the color reproduction and white mix on the PS4…

I don't often write reviews, but this one is a must. This is easily my best buy for anything gaming. I've bought custom controllers (Scuf, Astro, etc.), Control Frix, and the Gamez portable gaming console. They call it. The Benq RL2455S beats them all in terms of an instant change in my gaming experience and performance. I mainly play cod and consider myself an above average competitive player as I have been playing FPS for over 10 years. My only regret is that I didn't purchase it earlier in…

I just bought this monitor to replace an Acer 1080p 144hz 4ms monitor and honestly it made the difference between day and night. I didn't think 3ms would make a huge difference, but if you're only playing FPS (CoD, Apex, etc.) it certainly makes a difference. The clarity in this case is insane after tweaking the picture settings a bit. And let me tell you, the build quality is pretty damn good; When I first opened and assembled the monitor, it fell to the ground (yes, I know) and nothing…

Before purchasing this monitor I was using an Asus VG245H which is currently only $10 more on Revain. The first thing that struck me about BenQ is the assembly. This monitor and stand feels really bad. The bezel is much thicker, but it also juts out over the face of the display, creating a reflective surface around the edge of the screen that's not too distracting but noticeable. Those criticisms aside, the display is actually pretty good in my opinion, I found the BenQ brighter than the Asus…

As embarrassing as it is to walk out of the post office with a giant box that says 'for console sports', this monitor is perfect for that. If you're into fighting games, you probably want low latency, not 4K resolution or insane refresh rates. Unfortunately, most of today's impressive latency monitors also come with impressive resolutions, a 144Hz refresh rate that doesn't matter much when your PS4 hits 60, and a prohibitive price tag to match those impressive specs. Of course, you can't use…

I bought it to replace a large screen projector TV. I wanted a smaller footprint that more than fits. I wanted something that would guarantee the best performance in the games I played (mainly FPS) and that's fantastic for a console plebeian like me. Now I didn't buy it for an excellent cinematic experience with Dolby surround sound. but the sound quality is terrible. For example, the game Destiny not only has an incredible soundtrack, but also an even better sound design. Cannons, explosions…

I have never bought a BenQ product so I came with no expectations. The product was well packaged and assembly was a breeze; no tools were required for this. There are many preset picture settings to choose from depending on the type of game you're playing, but you can also create three custom picture profiles to save. Image quality is excellent and the 1ms response time is fast and doesn't leave me feeling input lag. The only drawback are the built-in speakers. I have to crank it up to get…

I only give 4 stars for two reasons. 1) Internal sound is terrible. I use speakers so it's not a big deal for me, but the quality of the internal speakers here is very poor - they wheeze quite often, even in silence. To make matters worse, there are no external volume buttons - the volume control is hidden in the system's sound settings. Since the system can't pick up the remote control, that seems doubly stupid to me. Perhaps it would be better and cheaper for the end user to simply not have…

The monitor was of good quality, the picture quality was also good. The monitor ships with the HDMI port and auto-sensing disabled. This led us to believe something was wrong, and after a day of fiddling around, we were able to figure it out. Remember that you need to include HDMI audio in text even if you have selected HDMI output on screen. So if you plug this in and feel like HDMI isn't working, be sure to check it out. Otherwise we're very happy with the monitor at the moment, but time will

I bought the RL2455S to replace an old LG 27" HDR 4K monitor that was too big for my desktop setup. I only play on Xbox One and mostly only shooters, so I started looking around. Knowing that BenQ was a former COD World League monitor and had the perfect features and price, I decided to pull the trigger. Installation was very easy as the stand simply snaps into place and then slides into the monitor. It is not height adjustable but fits me perfectly. I switched to FPS image setting and Black…

If you're looking for a good monitor that won't go bankrupt, then this is the one for you. I had my doubts about switching from TV gaming to a monitor, thinking it would be difficult to adapt to the small screen, but damn I was wrong! I mainly play cod and halo and boy let me tell you the difference between playing on a regular tv screen and playing on this monitor is so big it will take me a few turns to adjust when I get back switch to the television. The frame rate is phenomenal and the…

I personally use this monitor for my Switch (Competitive Smash) and it is amazing and looks great. Pros: - HDMI out (allows you to record without your system connected to elgato, you can just use HDMI out instead!) (you can also use it to make 2 monitors play the same without lag) - VERY low Input lag and response time (10ms input lag) (1ms response time) - Build quality is excellent - Colors are pretty good for a TN panel - 2 x HDMI inputs Cons: - (Personal preference) Monitor buttons are on…

I have two of these monitors, I bought the version that this one replaced, first about 4 years ago and then a year later I bought this version. Let's just say 3 years and some changes I've had with these monitors and these monitors always stay in sleep mode, I never turn them off. I have played thousands of hours on these monitors and I don't care if Samsung or LG supposedly have 'better' monitors because for me I have never regretted buying this monitor and now that I have my own computer and…

The screen is good. It's a beautiful color. There are many settings you can change if you wish. Since it's matte, there's not much glare. I thought 24 inches would be a bit small, but it's actually a good size. I travel a lot, I've taken him with me a lot and he hasn't had any issues despite what I've been through. The speakers aren't great, but they work if you don't have anything else. Sometimes it gets boring to look through all the menus. Overall it's very good for the price and I'm happy…

Just bought a second one. I got the first one a year and a half ago (pre Zowie branding, still same model number etc) and never had any problems. The 2 HDMI ports are perfect for powering my PS4 and Switch. The picture isn't fantastic, but once I set the game mode and tweaked the settings a bit, it's phenomenal. I will list my settings below. When I run my Bose desktop speakers through the audio jack on the monitor, it sounds fantastic. I cannot recommend this monitor enough. system/console!)
