Color settings - xl2566k

go to the zowie website and download the share profile app thing. they have a few custom sets there for various games. i have the xl2546k and the PUBG one worked really well for me with minor tweaks to the reds because buried city when it's dusty was pretty harsh. but id download them all and flip t

Monitor Upgrade Worth it?

I have used XL2546K for 2 years, then went to 2566K for a year and half, and now I’ve been using the 2566X+ for over a year. For me I think the biggest difference is the 2nd generation panel on the X+ series. Going from 240hz to 360hz and 400hz is noticeable, but not significant. However the color p

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

How many hz is your screen, and what is your current elo? Faceit, ESEA, or Premier

Zowie XL2546K owner here. If you are playing CS only, consider it, otherwise - it is garbage for anything else. Bad colors, bad view angles, low res (1920x1080). And i recommend to go for 360hz or higher, I regret now for saving few bucks and not buying xl2566k.

get Zowie or stay at 27 oled?

nah the difference is definitely noticeable, I went from a 165hz laptop screen to a xl2546k and it felt 10x better. but yes monitor is terrible for everything else, OLED is way better for that

400hz TN monitor (zowie 2566x+) and having SEVERE shimmering problems with all graphic settings ingame on very low

I have an xl2546k (240hz TN) and have no issues. 1728x1080 resolution, everything in game very low. Monitor settings are brightness 20, blackEQ 15, colour vibrance 20, sharpen 8, contrast 60, gamma 2, default colour temperature. Everything is clear and smooth.

Questions for xl2566x+ owners

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

OLED or Dyac2?

Yes, I own the XG27AQDPG monitor and I'm very happy with it. The colors, refresh rate, brightness, clarity, and sharpness are excellent. I think using an OLED monitor is a privilege. I don't need features like Fast TN and Dyac on a 500Hz OLED monitor because the image is perfect even in action. I us

Where can I buy the xl2546k or xl2546x+ in the UK? I’ve been struggling finding any online

well the xl2546k is from 2020 so you can find them used although I wouldn't since it has a 6 bit + FRC panel compared the the xl2546x+ that is native 8 bit. XL2546X+ can be purchased on Amazon. The xl2546x+ has better contrast, better color gamut and higher brightness and the newer and better dyac 2

[ RTINGS ] BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K Review

I monitor TN sono ancora validissimi, concordo che non avranno colori eccellenti di stock ma bastano Vernante 5 minuti regolare contrasto vividezza saturazione ecc, e può uscire fuori un monitor attuale che può tenere botta a monitor stock IPS. Io stesso arrivavo da un monitor IPS 200Hz ed ero scett
