BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 24 Inch 144 Hz e-Sports Gaming Monitor with 1 ms, Black eQualizer, Dark Grey

Product Information

Beh, smanettando un pò sul Benq, i colori diventano accettabili, anche se, ripeto, in mod gaming, sono veramente scialbi. On the second game title, Dirt 3, performance was good overall with varied and natural-looking vegetation and environments. Some of the lush forest greens could have done with a touch more depth but the overall balance was good. A good degree of vibrancy seen on the cars’ bodywork. Good deep reds and blues were perhaps the most impressive colours. The colours on the vehicles didn’t have the kind of smooth ‘painted on’ look you get on a glossy monitor but were lively nonetheless.

Ottimo il refresh rate di 144hz soprattutto per i giochi competitivi, non eccezionale per i colori ma fa decentemente il suo lavoro. The Lagom text showed obvious red banding on the text at the bottom transitioning to green at the top. Even the slightest head movement caused the composition to change. This indicated a high level of viewing angle dependency to the monitor’s gamma curve as is typical of a TN panel monitor. There was no silver bullet, but we found the following gave the most pleasing image. This was the case for both the AMD Radeon 7950 used for the review and the Nvidia 670 used to assess possible vendor-specific differences, both GPUs connected using the DVI cable supplied. It is important to remember that different individual monitors will differ, especially if BenQ provide revision changes at a later date. Ho letto frequentemente, che i 144hz valgono la pena, solo se il vostro pc vi consente di fare girare i giochi ad almeno144 FPS. To test the responsiveness during movies we ran into a bit of a hitch. Our test rig is equipped with CyberLink PowerDVD 8.0, which is a somewhat dated movie software. It has done the job for all other monitors tested but it seemed to be allergic to the BenQ when it was running at 144Hz. As the video below shows the screen is filled with what looks like white noise from an old TV set rather than the intended images.Our biggest criticism of the OSD is simply that cycling through the presets is very cumbersome, as you can see in the video. You can’t simply skip to your desired preset and activate it; you must go through each individually and wait for them to be applied. You must scroll all the way up the long way when you reach the bottom, too. This could be frustrating if you frequently change presets and one of the reasons the ‘S-Switch’ of the 20T was so useful. Small relief can be found from the ability to store 3 custom presets, though, which are much easier to cycle through and can of course be customised to your liking.

Altra cosa, come mai sul mio vedevo dei particolari macro, che sul Benq, non apparivano così definiti? Forse perchè il mio attuale è un 27pollici, ed il Benq è solo un 24? Boh, non so rispondervi. Originally designed to facilitate fluid stereoscopic 3D viewing, 120Hz monitors a favourite for most fans of fast-paced games. By displaying potentially twice as much information every second as a 60Hz display and coupling this with rapid pixel response times and low input lag the feeling of fluidity is unmatched in the LCD world. BenQ really tuned into this with their popular ‘XL’ series of 120Hz gaming monitors. Co-developed with professional players of the FPS game Counterstrike the XL2410T and XL2420T were designed with gamers in mind. In the second movie title, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, colours were mostly well-represented with appropriate tone and saturation. Some vibrant shades, such as the orange and yellows of roaring flames and azure blues could have done with a touch more intensity but everything looked quite appropriate and natural overall.But the ‘connected’ feeling and overall fluidity is far superior to even the fastest ‘input lag free’ 60Hz LCDs. Another factor influencing this is the 144Hz refresh rate. Compared to a 60Hz monitor, the BenQ is outputting 2.4 times as many frames of visual information – including updating the mouse cursor position – every second. Compared to a 120Hz monitor (or running this monitor in 120Hz mode) the difference is less pronounced. Technically it is displaying 1.2 times as much information; able to draw an additional 24 frames per second. In practice this does make things seem just a little faster but it really depends on the sensitivity of the user to such things. This is my first 144hz monitor. Bought this based on a friend's recommendation. Concerning image quality, I can't really make any expert comments, but it's definitely an up from my previous monitor. Appearance-wise, the product photos made it look pretty ugly, but in person, the monitor actually looks pretty nice. The included stand is the only downside for me. I like my monitor to be raised up, but the included stand isn't to sturdy. I ended up buying a separate monitor stand.

This is probably an obvious thing but make sure you change your display settings to 144hz in Windows once everything is setup, some people might think this is out of the box but it's a manual change. With that said it's good enough to watch YouTUbe vids and play video games which is what it's advertised for. The bezel is chunky by modern standards, 17mm wide all around. The anti-glare layer is set inside the frame and competently rejects ambient light, rendering a well-saturated image free of grain or artifacts.

There is under-coverage of some green shades with extension beyond for other green shades. Our overall gaming experience with the XL2411P was a positive one, but we’d rather see FreeSync support than be forced to resort to a blur reduction feature for smooth motion. The reduction in brightness may be an issue for some users, as it's limited to 180 nits peak. But turning it on created a tad more color saturation, making the monitor look a little better. The coloured contrast gradients were decent. The upper two red and pink bands seemed to blend in a bit too well but distinct brightness steps were visible elsewhere. BenQ has never been one for look-at-me styling, and the XL2411P follows that theme. It could easily be mistaken for an enterprise monitor and is certainly qualified for that purpose. One unique element is the small tab on the bottom right that leads the user to the control buttons underneath. A small LED shines orange in standby mode and green when the power’s on. It is very difficult to capture subtle changes that can be observed across the screen, such as those observed above, on camera. The following video explores some of the more pronounced changes that can be observed in image composition as the viewer’s position is changed relative to the monitor. The first section of the video highlights the shifts between red and green on the Lagom text test. The second section shows some of the changes that can be observed on a mixed image – note in particular the bleaching and colour inversion that occurs vertically. The third and final section of the video shows the golden glow that can be observed off-angle as mentioned in the ‘Contrast and brightness’ section.
