BenQ ZOWIE XL2411K 24-Inch 144Hz Gaming Monitor | 1080P | Smaller Base | Ergonomic Stand | XL Setting to Share | Customizable Quick Menu | DyAc | 120Hz Compatible for PS5 and Xbox series X, Dark Grey

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!

If you are looking for a afordable yet reliable 120hz gaming montior for next Gen consoles this product is for you! I love the quick adjustment options and the settings are very easy to adjust to your liking. I also love the fact that you can have 3 different pre set adjustments... that way you can easily switch your settings to exactly your liking depending on the game or if you like to watch movies or videos. I got my first Benq monitor 4 years ago and just decided to upgrade a few months ago because my old one only supported 60hz... my old monitor still works as good as it did 4 years ago when it was brand new which is really impressive because I put a ton of hours on that thing haha. I actually gave the old one to my Niece so she can use it for her xbox one and she also loves it. BENQ is the best when it comes to gaming monitors

Pros: 144hz, super fast and responsive, DYAC setting makes this monitor the best. The overall quality of the monitor is amazingly built you can adjust it vertically or horizontally with the swivel base and it also tilts top toward and the bottom away. Carry handle on top of the stand so you don't have to grab it by screen or bottom.Cons: The Monitor panel is a TN so colors and viewing angle are definitely not the greatest for watching movies or photography. The bezel is pretty thick, it's only aesthetics so no big deal. Overall this is the fastest and most responsive 144hz monitor I've ever owned. For gaming First person shooter, Battle Royal. CSGO, VALORANT, OVERWATCH, PUBG, FORTNITE, WARZONE ETC. This is one of the best.

So I am somebody that currently streams and plays video games every single day, I game only on pc but I use to use 60hz BenQ dual monitors 1080p, I hesitated on buying these 144hz monitors only because I was thinking "How can there be much of a difference and is it worth the few hundred dollars?" I bought the 144hz because I wanted to see if it was worth it or not and thought if I don't really like it I'll send it back, It arrived I plugged it in, brought up my chrome browser dragged it across both my 144hz screen and 60hz screen and let me tell you, IM GOING TO GET 3 of these 144hz monitors BABY! If you are using 60hz put that back in the closet get your self a 144hz you ain't going back after that upgrade! The response time is insane and noticeable! like 50% more noticeable.

The media could not be loaded. I had debates between benq and Asus for my ps5 so i could expirience the 120hz on my ps5 . This monitor right here gets the job done for the price u can get this for its an all around good monitor if u wanna take a step further into ur gaming experience, With a little setting up to ur liking this monitor works just great ,My monitor came with No dead pixels and hopefully I dont get any its been about a week with this monitor and it hasnt let me down so if you have a ps5 and are in need of a good monitor GET YOURSELF THIS MONITOR ! This momitor works good with the hdmi cable that came with your console so no worries on that. Overall great monitor for gaming.:)
