I am looking to upgrade my 180hz monitor to 360hz but im confused between xg25qns xl2566k

Had 240hz IPS and now a XL2546K which is also 240hz and going from that IPS to the zowie felt like going to 360hz lol. Don’t get IPS they’re terribly overrated unless u only play campaign games or whatever but even on the TN the colours are pretty much the same as IPS once calibrated

Question about zowie monitors

I used many monitors including high end IPS, 360hz oleds, other TNs etc and the zowie just feels better. While i do use dyac as it’s just that much better, even if i turn off dyac it’s still way smoother than my IPS monitors which felt blurry at the same Hz. Compared to the oled motion clarity is ju

Honest Personal Review: Zowie XL2566X+ vs ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP (Competitive FPS Player’s Experience)

I have a PG27AQDM and a XL2546K, so two 240Hz older models My go to is competitive fps too since ever. At the moment back on CS after a very long break. For CS the strange thing is I'm way more consistent on the OLED , my shots are cleaner but I'm never comfortable with it. I feel awkward using it.

Choosing a monitor for cs2

Get a used XL2546K or X. Really no better monitor for CS or any FPS. For media consumption and story games it’s ’Ok’ when calibrated, you won’t notice colour inaccuracies

In 2025, do I take the XL2546k or the AW2523HF?

XL2546K is pretty widely regarded as one of zowies best monitors, I personally don’t know anything about the AW2523HF but one thing to consider is that Dell’s customer support is a lot worse than zowie’s in my experience and I’m under the impression many others share this experience.

XL2566K VS XL2586X

Na yeah def get 66K. Zowie is still the best but the new X versions are super mid compared to the old K versions in my opinion. I have the XL2546K, it’s by far the best monitor i ever used for fps titles, compared to my old 240hz ips the ips feels like it’s on 144hz compared to the zowie

Questions for xl2566x+ owners

I’ve had a XL2546K for a while now zero issues. The picture quality is absolutely fine, i was quite suprised my self tbh. When calibrated to proper settings it looks just like my old 1440p IPS monitor. I use to have a oled is well and returned it as i prefer the zowie for fps. I watch a lot of youtu

XL2546X 240hz pixel shifting/shaking/blinking issue

This happened to me wayback 2023 on my xl2546k Had it for replacement. Now 2025 I am using their monitor again same model, but now it appears out of nowhere a burn in dark spot on my monitor. Benq has a lot of issue I think. This is the second monitor I had with then and it still has issue.
