BenQ Zowie XL2566K 24.5 Fast TN in 360Hz Gaming Monitor | Motion Clarity DyAc⁺ | 1080p | XL Setting to Share | Custom Quick Menu | S Switch | Shield | Smaller Base | Adjustable Height & Tilt, Black

amazing monitor, for gaming you really can’t beat it for the price. 360hz with basically zero artifacts will leave you thinking you can see into the future- because you literally can see earlier than a lower hz monitor. color accuracy is definitely questionable, i have another monitor with much better colors for sure, but if you wanna play counter strike or other competitive shooters and you aren’t made of money this is the one to get. pros were using it a year ago for a reason.

A TN panel in 2023 isn’t the move for most use cases. However, I pretty much only play apex legends and other shooters on my computer, and I have another 32” 1440p lg monitor for content consumption. That being said, this monitor is really, really good. The black equalizer and color vibrance features work well, and Dyac+ seems to work great. I’ve played with dyac on and off. To be honest, I can’t tell the difference unless I’m REALLY trying and am like dragging a window with text across my desktop and trying to read it at the same time. With it being 1080p, my frame rate is always capped (I have a 4080- I know. Overkill.) My tracking has noticeably improved as well. 360 hz is noticeable, as I came from a 144hz monitor. Now, with all this said, would I recommend it to people? No. Not unless all you do is play shooters or have a good second monitor for other stuff. I’d still much prefer to play a game like elden ring or Witcher on a bigger 1440p IPS display. Also, I forgot to mention- optimum tech on YouTube has a video on this monitor with some color settings to make it look better. I highly recommend using those settings and then just dialing in the gamma and color vibrance. The display actually doesn’t look bad at all.

I guess I am the first to do a review on the 360Hz model since these reviews are grouped. This monitor is insanely good coming from a XL2546K to this XL2566K is actually a much bigger difference than I thought. It has pretty much zero motion blur, great picture quality and ultra smooth in all games even the ones that are not ultra high frame rates like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077. I still get a smoother experience than my 240Hz XL2546K so this upgrade is well worth it. If you're into FPS games and want the best advantage this is your monitor. my copy has zero dead pixels and zero issues whatsoever its absolutley perfect. Phenomenal monitor!

The monitor itself is really amazing, it is a bit of a risk to buy a TN panel in 2025, but Zowie monitors are one of the best for competitive games like CS, Val, OW, Cod, etc. Unfortunately a white line would appear in the bottom right corner when I would turn the Dyac+ mode on, but would disappear when it turned on. So I had to return it. Overall, great monitor while it lasted, would recommend if you're really into comp games, but wouldn't recommend if you do some comp, some casual / story games.

This monitor requires a lot of tweaking for whatever you want out of it. It can achieve great colors but you will constantly have to use the s-switch to change settings for each application. I was considering this and the PG27AQN and I believe I will be sticking with this. The motion clarity is just too good to sacrifice for the 1440p/360hz/IPS/ULMB 2 combination. I have a PG279Q which was the highest end monitor at the time of release and 1440p is good, but it's not as clear as 4k and that leaves something to be desired (I have a 4k 144hz). Games like Starfield are extra crisp with the motion clarity, as well as D4/D2R, RDR2, Cyberpunk, etc. 1080p is definitely not great in games but at the time being it is the only way to get the most out of today's motion clarity technology. EDIT: Just tried the PG27AQDM, and while I have it set up right next to the XL2566k, I will be keeping the latter. The OLED of the first is obviously top tier and great, but I cannot live without the motion clarity despite the poor viewing angles.

The refresh rate at 360hz works well, but the 240hz setting provides screen tear. The colors are pretty ugly, but that is the trade off since it is a TN Panel. I would only recommend this monitor if you're at a pro level and need every advantage. For the average gamer who wants the best bang for their buck, I recommend going for a IPS or OLED monitor. Overpriced product and not the value you should get for your money. I expect a monitor to not have errors when I am paying $650+.

Monitor actually feels so crisp. I came from a 240hz g7 odyssey if that tells you anything. I’ve had every kind of panel, every resolution, refresh rate etc and this is honestly a very impressive monitor. The colors are quite decent once you calibrate everything and the image when gaming is surprisingly sharp for 1080p. I won’t say there’s a massive difference between 240hz and 360hz for me but there is a slight difference in smoothness. Monitor is definitely a little pricey but if you’re a competitive gamer you won’t regret buying imo. Even for single player games the monitor is great though.

The product is exactly as advertized. If you expect this monitor to be the defining factor in hitting a high rank in a video game you are mistaken. But there is a difference between the high 360hz refreshrate compared to a 240hz monitor. The dyac feature that comes with the monitor is also an improvement from a lower end and/or competing monitor.

انا مستخدم 240hz لما حولت على 360hz فيه سلاسة باللعب والصورة ممتازة جدا طبعا شورت الالوان ممتازة افضل شي خاصية SyAc + سلبيات اذا مثبت 360hz في نفيديا واللعبة لا يوجد فيها الختيار 360hz اذا تتنقل بين سطح المكتب واللعبة ياخذ وقت من 3 ثواني الى 6 ثواني شاشة سوداء

Only lasted a year before the screen srated displaying a huge white band in the middle weeks after the warranty lapsed. The dealer says it’s normal and happens!

أنا سعيد جدًا بشاشة Zowie BenQ 240 هرتز! يعد معدل التحديث والتعامل مع الحركة من الدرجة الأولى، مما يجعلها مثالية لألعاب الرياضات الإلكترونية سريعة الوتيرة. لقد كان إعداده وضبطه سهلاً للغاية، كما أنه يأتي مزودًا بمنفذ DisplayPort، وهي لمسة لطيفة. على الرغم من أن الألوان وكثافة البكسل ليست الأفضل - المتوقعة من لوحة TN بدقة 1080 بكسل - إلا أنها خيار لا يهزم للألعاب ذات معدل التحديث العالي. إذا كنت تقوم بالترقية من شاشة 144 هرتز، فهذا شراء رائع. إذا كنت من محبي الأفلام أو المزيد من الألعاب السينمائية، فقد تفضل لوحة IPS بتردد 240 هرتز مثل AW2521H. بشكل عام، أنا عميل سعيد وسأوصي

This monitor is an absolute beast. Sadly mine came in scratched, probably in transport but I’m still using it. I bought a second one and there wasn’t any scratch on it, I use this monitor for CSGO and it’s very fluid, very noticeable difference from 144Hz
