BenQ ZOWIE XL2430 24 Inch 144 Hz e-Sports Gaming Monitor with 1 ms, Height Adjustable Stand, S Switch, Black eQualizer

Product Information

It's a very good TN panel monitor with great image colours and the video games looks beautiful with this monitor even the console ones. Screen menu is so easy to navigate and the tool you get with the scroll wheel is great for doing this. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.

The greatest benefit of using the S-Switch is the improved responsiveness of the OSD; making selections feel quick and tactile, allowing you to make adjustments a lot quicker than using the buttons located on the monitor’s bezel.When I initially started configuring the monitor, I wasn’t able to achieve nearly as high as that contrast ratio at first, which puzzled me a little. The monitor itself is easily adjustable in height, tilt and rotation to switch from a 16:9 perspective to a 9:16 one.

Taking it one step further, I gave the XL2430T a rigorous amount of testing over the past week using Ultra Street Fighter IV as my preferred testing benchmark. In our brightness tests, we found a setting that provides an acceptable level of blur reduction at a light output cost of 51 percent.They are still the best option for LCD-based displays on the market, and usually feature very low response times of 1-2ms. There’s also a feature that allows you to check for new game modes from BenQ itself to be matched to your preference.

Finally, the System menu allows you to set headphone volume, assign custom keys, and view input source information.For users that game mostly in the dark, the strobing backlight is an attractive option if LCD motion blur bothers you, though the XL2430T is fast enough even without it, thanks to its 1ms response time. The 144hz refresh rate not only allows much smoother motion clarity, but also reduces input lag if your PC is capable of handling it. The only downside I can say about this monitor is that it doesn't have speakers but for me is not a problem I always use my headset. Unlike many gaming monitors these days, the XL2430 doesn’t come with an alternative to V-Sync like G-Sync or FreeSync.
