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.

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

Best monitor to buy? For games like Valorant

BenQ Zowie XL2540K (Should only be considered if using backlight strobing at most if not all times) why is this? Looked fine to me on RTINGS review, except TN colors ofc i was gonna buy XL2540K and not use strobing because any of kind of strobing on monitors gives me a headache or XV252QF, seems to

Bought xl2566x and it feels awful compared to the xl2546

You can download more XL to share profiles from pro players here. Check if they use the same model. I'm on the XL2546K and think that colors in CS2 are shit in general compared to CSGO

Bought xl2566x and it feels awful compared to the xl2546

I don't have one yet I was looking to maybe upgrade to that model from my XL2546K but this isn't the first time I'm reading complains about how the XL2566X+ screen and colors look so I'm not so sure yet.

A/B/C Zowie 600hz vs OLED 480/360hz for FPS

It might be the best monitor on the market. I bought the BenQ 540 Hz in April. There were color defects on the panel. Now I bought the BenQ 400 Hz and the same problem happened again. The TN panel is generally good, but this does not mean that the X series does not have problems. BenQ monitors are n

A/B/C Zowie 600hz vs OLED 480/360hz for FPS

The product was received today and there is still an image defect. Color yellowing is possible with these tn panels, but what I receive is much more than that. There is not a single image defect or distortion on my xl2546k product. It may be better than benq 540 hz and 600 hz benq oled, but since it

I received my AOC Q25G4SR - AMA

I'm very reluctant to buy it, I'd like to go even higher than 300hz and I'd like to change from a Zowie XL2546K to this monitor. Do the colors and resolution render well? Were you able to do a real input lag test? That's my 2nd criterion, along with the refresh rate. I like the 1440 aspect in 24.5 i

Zowie XL2566x+ COIL WHINE

There is not much they can do, they'll offer you to replace the unit and have no monitor for 2-3 weeks (at least) - hoping that the replacement doesn't have issues. I went through this multiple times with the XL2546k and XL2566k (the 3rd XL2566k replacement was bearable, second one was DOA) AND they
