BenQ ZOWIE XL2546 Gaming Monitor Review, A Deep Dive into Esports Performance
Esports is a ruthless meritocracy, where milliseconds can make all the difference. For serious gamers who want to up their game, **the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546 gaming monitor** is a sofer in plain white cloth, ready for the duel: a full HD 24.5-inch, 240Hz refresh rate display for gamers who want a weapon, not just a monitor.

Unleashing the Power of 240Hz: A Seamless Gaming Experience

The XL2546 comes with a staggering 240Hz refresh rate, which means the game will look buttery-smooth, with no motion blur or screen tearing. This refresh rate makes the information on the screen instantaneous, and allows you to react almost immediately when pressing a button. You won't have to suffer from any lag or stuttering – playing with 240Hz means smooth, clear and visually intense experience. Think about it: you are in the middle of a firefight in your favourite FPS. And you are not the only one: you can clearly see anyone moving a hair on their body every frame, and use their movements against them. You can hit headshots with snipers just by suspecting someone might be there. 

Dynamic Accuracy with DyAc: Seeing Beyond the Blur

BenQ’s **exclusive DyAc technology** puts the XL2546 into overdrive. This feature essentially eliminates motion blur, delivering sharper visuals for more accurate targeting. DyAc does this by injecting backlight strobing, creating a clearer image with less of that smearing effect you get when opening your YouTube app on a phone and seeing an athlete jump from block to finish line faster than you ever thought possible. This whole ‘frame-skating’ sensation would be a death sentence in the world of esports, unless you had BenQ’s DyAc on your side. Think of DyAc as a strobe light for your monitor; by inserting a short pulse between frames, DyAc creates a crisper image with less motion blur. 

A Closer Look at BenQ's DyAc Technology: How It Works

Dynamic Accuracy is called DyAc, and is BenQ’s own technology (yes, the company that makes projectors has its sights on gaming monitors, so expect to hear more from them). It goes like this:
  • Backlight strobing: DyAc creates a flickering in the backlight of the monitor resulting in the image ‘freezing’ for a moment (around 2-3 frames). This gives slightly less motion blur.
  • Motion Clarity:The effect is that I can see objects moving at speed with a lot more detail, much more so than a TV that’s not set to TruMotion. 
  • Less Eye Strain: So, the second important aspect of DyAc is that, by artificially reducing motion blur when flashing, it also provides less eye strain. This is particularly vital for gamers who play for a long time.

Tailor-Made for Competitive Gamers: Features Built for Victory

The XL2546 isn’t just about speed and clarity: its design is all about giving you the edge in every way you can. The monitor’s **Black eQualizer** boosts and equalises the brightness of dark areas of the screen, meaning that you’ll be able to see more detail in those dark areas of the game where it all comes down to the tactically aware gamer. Ever play a particular stealth strategy game (I’m thinking of something classic from the Deus Ex series here) where you’re trying to stab an enemy in the back, but you can’t see him in the shadows and your windpipe gets ripped out? With Black eQualiser, you can see him. It’s like an awesome-looking night vision scope. You can see what’s going on. Yellow really pops, and colours bring shadows to light While seeing the shadows is all very well and good, you might prefer to have things a certain way. 

Ergonomic Design for Extended Gaming Sessions: Comfort is King

With a focus on prolonged gameplay, the XL2546 delivers sheer play comfort. The monitor allows for both **height adjustable stand** as well as **tilting mechanism**, thereby you can adjust the monitor to find the most comfortable view for your eyes. A customisable display can prevent eye-strain and fatigue which will allow you to maintain your playing level for a long duration of time. Imagine a tournament that fits in your room, which lasts for hours where you need to be concentrate. Through the height and tilt feature of this monitor, you can stay cool and convenient all the time, unlike other monitors with fixed position where you may quit playing due to pains in your neck, arm and etc.
