    • Worth The Buy
Size: 24-Inch Style: 144Hz, DyAc
Ever since my childhood, I have loved playing video games. As I grew older, I got more competitive in nature towards my gameplay. My favorite game franchise is Gears of War, and I dedicated a great deal of time to getting exceptionally good at it. However, I realized I needed lower input delays, and I would play against people who had a better advantage due to the fact they played on higher frames with lower response times. This led me to finally buying a BenQ Zowie monitor. After using this product for 2 months, I can confidently say that the BenQ Zowie XL2411K is a great monitor to invest in for a reasonable price. Primarily, the refresh rate of this monitor is 144hz; this was the greatest reason for me buying this monitor. This is what allowed me to be able to play on 120 frames per second (or frame rate) on the Xbox Series S. I should also note that this monitor was designed for the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X as well and since they are the only consoles that can run 120 frames per second (FPS). The refresh rate along with the FPS are very closely related. Firstly, the frame rate is the number of images that a computer, video game console, or other device sends to the display every second. The refresh rate is how fast the display (or monitor) can show these frames. When you compare that to a regular TV that gives you about 30 frames per second with a refresh rate of 24 hertz, the difference between the monitor and a TV is as great as heaven and earth, respectively. As a result, you have a smoother display for your monitor, and this allows for better accuracy due to the clarity of your screen and seamless animations. Lastly, this monitor has an astounding 1 millisecond response time, in comparison to the latter, which has a response time between 2.3 and 8.1 milliseconds. The BenQ Zowie allows you to be able to react quickly, which is particularly helpful in fast paced shooters. This monitor has more nerdy picture settings. With gaming, it is typically difficult to sleep after a long session due to the exposure of blue lights your screen emits. Thankfully, there is a low blue light mode in the picture settings. The setting ranges from 1 to 10 for how much blue light you want to receive from your display. After using this mode, I have dealt with less eye strain, and I can play the game longer without pain. Another innovative feature is the DyAc technology that is featured in the picture setting. Dynamic Accuracy (DyAc) is technology exclusive to BenQ that negates eye tracking motion blur. According to BenQ, this does not cause any input delays. I personally have my DyAc setting on “premium” to take full advantage of this feature. The packaging for this monitor was very secure. It came in an attractive BenQ Zowie XL2411K red and black box. All the components were sealed in rubber and taped up. To ensure added safety, these components were encased in foam boxes. The parts included the stand, the monitor screen, and the base. It even came in with a DisplayPort cable. The user manual gives you simple step- by-step instructions to set up the monitor. Since I ordered from Amazon, I got the monitor within 24 hours. Speaking of which, Amazon allows for free returns within 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) of receiving the monitor in its original condition. To enhance your experience of this monitor (assuming you bought it), I do have some friendly advice. The most important advice I can give you is to keep your monitor on “Eco” mode. Now of course you can take this setting off to enhance your monitor’s performance, but if you want longevity for this device, I suggest you keep this setting on. Also, since this monitor supports 120 FPS at 1080p resolution for gaming, be sure you use the HDMI 2.0 cord (it is highly recommended you use the one that originally came with your console). Otherwise, you will only be able to play on 60 FPS. I am certain this also applies to PlayStation users as well, but on the Xbox Series S/X, you need to manually go to your “TV and Display” options and put your refresh rate on 120hz. One thing I will say is that there is a good chance you will not like the default colors for your picture. I personally had to tweak the colors to my liking. Lastly, for safety precautions, connect your monitor to a grounded extension cord. This is so in case of a power surge, the third prong directs the excess current toward the ground. Consequently, you and your devices are kept safe. If you are considering wanting to supplement your gameplay, this monitor is the way to go. When comparing the specifications of the BenQ Zowie XL2411K to a standard TV, the one on the former is practically playing in the future against the one on the latter. Specifically, the model I bought was 24 inches, so this monitor does not accommodate much space. These monitors are even used in eSport events. This piece of work is for competitive gamers who want a seamless gameplay experience that is comparable to gaming on a PC. There are more things on this monitor for me to learn about. Nonetheless, this monitor is worth the buy! ... show more

    • It works and looks good
Size: 24-Inch Style: 144Hz, DyAc
It can be annoying trying to change the input, it’s kinda laggy with that. Also turning it on and off is janky but other than that it works fine

    • I wouldn't recommend it. It's not an upgrade from an XL2411z

I had a BenQ XL2411z for many years I was happy with. The panel lottery is really bad though. I got lucky to get a pretty good all around XL2411z after RMAing a previous one. I only wanted to "upgrade" because that monitor didn't have a displayport, which I needed for my new AMD 5700. I read that the Viewsonic XG2402 was better than the XL2411z so I got that as a replacement. I was very unhappy with the terrible viewing angles to the point where there is no distance or angle you can sit at from the monitor for it to display properly. The contrast ratio was also noticeably bad. So I resorted to paying more for a better monitor. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to exist yet. I saw a list of the best 240hz monitors and the #1 was the $500 Acer Nitro XV273 IPS. Well the IPS glow on it (and the replacement monitor) was horrendous to the point where it makes me mad that people are recommending IPS monitors at all. You can see from a web search that IPS glow is normal for IPS monitors. I discovered that VA was what you want if you're willing to sacrifice ultimate TN response times for better image quality. Well the VA I got (AOC C27G1) was nice indeed, but due to the slow response times it has noticeable smearing/flicker on high contrast areas, which kind of ruins its prowess on darks/blacks. - So back to BenQ then right? If I was happy with my XL2411z then this much newer monitor should be an upgrade right? Unfortunately not. It has the same terrible viewing angles as the XG2402, yet it has worse response times and worse black/backlight uniformity. You can see the terrible viewing angles and backlight uniformity in the pictures. For the response times, on both AMA high and premium, I noticed a significant amount of overshoot on tree trunks in the fireside Tomb Raider scene I loaded. I didn't notice it in Titanfall 2 or Arabel (high contrast, dark game). I've settled on my VA monitor. The high contrast smearing/flickering doesn't occur in enough areas to make it a worse problem than the issues with these other monitors. And the medium amount of motion blur on this TN (similar to the 240hz IPS) has a similar impact as the smearing/flickering in that it forces you to not focus while panning, so maybe nullifies/evens out the VA issue a bit. FYI you do not need a TN monitor for competitive gaming. The slower G2G times are only noticeable in some high contrast areas, such as black letters on a white background. You do not need 240hz either. I could not tell a significant difference between 144 and 240hz. --- VA vs TN vs IPS summary: No monitor is ideal right now, you're sacrificing one thing for another. **VA** = nice blacks, but still some back light bleed that varies on any type of monitor, which still degrades black environments. Worst response times. The best current VA I've been able to find - AOC C27G1 or C24G1 - has a smearing problem on high contrast areas like black text on white background, and vice versa. It makes it smear/flicker on some areas like a dark fence or book shelf. It's somewhat rare in games, but can contribute to ruining dark scenes and thus any VA-benefit to blacks is largely nullified. It made me want to try TN again. **TN** = worse blacks and general image quality, but no smearing/flicker. Best response times. I played competitive FPS for years, and now play casual games. TN/response times are overhyped, and you could easily go pro with a VA monitor. If you go TN, just try to find the one with the best viewing angles and blacks, and least defects. Which that is I have no idea, but it's not the highly rated XG2402. The differences in response times are trivial, even for highly competitive FPS gamers. It only matters when it manifests as obvious phenomena such as the smearing/flickering of high contrast areas during movement on the VA monitor I tried. **IPS** = scam. Only a tiny percentage of users should buy if they need super accurate colors for something or other. And even then, 1/3rd of their monitor will be inaccurate due to IPS glow. Some say IPS has the best viewing angles, but my $220 VA (C27G1) has much better viewing angles than my $500 IPS (Acer Nitro XV273). All the 144 and 240hz monitors I tried had similar levels of motion blur. ... show more

    • Great for Xbox Series X 120fps gaming, poor for everything else
Size: 24-Inch Style: 144Hz, DyAc
Got this monitor to improve my Halo Infinite game on series X - this monitor sure delivered on that front. I'd highly recommend that any frequent gamers move from 60 -> 120 fps - 1v1 battles are easier with less "how the heck did I lose that fight" moments. This monitor is fantastic for gaming, as long as you okay with a sacrifice in picture quality (I much prefer winning over pretty graphics, but others may have different priorities). For everything besides gaming, this monitor isn't a good choice. The TN panel (and the general blurriness/lack of picture quality that comes with a TN) is not conducive to long hours of work - I find myself frequently adjusting the viewing angle or struggling to read text, and occasionally noticing eye strain that my IPS did not create. So, I use my IPS for work, my BenQ Zowie TN for gaming - problem solved. Great for gaming; if you are looking for a competitive fps advantage, this delivers 100%. Just know that this is not a 'one size fits all' monitor. ... show more
