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

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

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

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

[ 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

Is upgrading from XL2546K (240Hz) to XL2566X or XL2586X worth it if I already get 700+ FPS?

Xl2546k is still a beast, there is something I like about its colors in fps1 mode, not accurate but I like the red and bright green, I feel like I can feel slightly input lag with with xl2546k with dyac+ but I don't think I can tell input lag with dyac2 on xl2586x, the 540-600hz tn from zowie is the

Zowie XL2566X+ vs 360hz OLED (XG27ACDNG)

I went from the Zowie XL2546k to the ASUS XG27ACDNG and then to the Zowie XL2586X. 99% of my play playtime goes to CS so OLED wasn't as big of a deal for me. My main decision behind going back to Zowie was the size and the colors. As another commenter said, I couldn't get the colors just right for p
