BenQ Zowie XL2566K 24.5"

Zowie's excellent PC gaming monitor makes it one of the best esports panels on the market today, and we hope to see future iterations of the device continue to improve on aspects such as color and viewing angles. It's not perfect, and there is a...

The Zowie XL2566K knows what it wants to achieve, and does it with aplomb. It’s a contender for the title of best monitor for esports professionals, and the incremental performance boosts in this regard could decide titles. If you’re anything other than a hardcore competitor, however, this isn’t for you.

To Recap, if you need customisable features, a compact base, and a smooth tilt/height adjustable display, the XL2566K provides an impeccable gaming experience and becomes an easy recommendation for e-sports enthusiasts.

The BenQ Zowie XL2566K’s race-horse-like focus on providing an extremely fast panel has paid its dividends. The 360Hz refresh rate, coupled with the low input latency and DyAc+ blur reduction feature, makes it a fantastic choice for esports players. However, for $600, the difference between it and a Fast-IPS panel, which can cost far less, may be marginal at best.

It feels weird to recommend such an expensive, old-school gaming monitor with characteristics that trail far behind most rivals, but here we are. If you’re searching for a screen that can best keep up with your tournament-tuned twitch reflexes, this is what to buy. Other gamers are served better elsewhere.

Pero la principal pega de un monitor de estas características es obviamente su precio, pues el BenQ ZOWIE XL2566K ronda los 700 euros. No es un precio apto para todos los bolsillos y es claramente una pasada para un monitor Full HD, pero no será tan caro si ayuda a ganar algún campeonato de eSports.
