Disappointed Asus 360hz Oled XG27ACDNG

i do actually play Apex Legends on Asus PG27AQWP-W with 540hz 2k res. it feels unreal compared to my zowie xl2546k 240hz dyac+. its way more smooth, clean etc. day and night experience for me.

Benq xl2546k causing eye strain

I have owned and used the same Zowie XL2546K monitor for the past 4 years. The issues you describe are identical to mine unfortunately. I also tried disabling the DYAC thinking that might solve the eye fatigue issues however no difference. Recently purchased an 34 inch Alienware QDOLED and eye strai

Would going from a 165hz IPS monitor to a 240hz zowie (possibly a 2546k) be worth it?

The scaler on the xl2546k is bad, any custom resolutions you make, will be blurry. Dyac is not some magical feature, it also adds input lag. Overall, it's not worth the money, either go for 360hz or 500+hz, if you want improvements over your current setup.

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

CS2 "Floaty Mouse" on a Top-Tier Rig (7800X3D + 7900 XT + 300Hz). I’m losing my mind.

Have the same problem as you on a decent pc 7800xt with 9800x3d and xl2546k 240hz dyac on. Mouse just feels floaty in cs2 compared to other games even with 500fps on 4:3. One taps feel awful the majority of the time. I fucked around with cru before and gave me good results for a few games but its pr

Low FPS with ryzen 7 9800x3d [Discussion]

I have a BenQ XL2546K monitor, which is very expensive in my country. It doesn’t really make sense for me to switch from such a high-end monitor to a 1440p display with fewer features, worse response times, and unknown brands. That’s why I’m unfortunately stuck with 1080p for now.

Xl2546x weird dead pixel

Yeah, their monitors still offer top performance for competitive shooters (DyAc 2 is awesome), but the price increase and quality control definitely need improvement. My 2546X also has crazy light bleed, and the panel doesn’t feel sturdy. I’d say it’s a complete downgrade in terms of build quality c

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

Got the new XL2586X+ happy to answer any questions…

Interesting review but I wonder why it's such a rare knowledge that a photo demonstrating motion clarity should last multiple frames (for both variants they want to compare) and pursue the moving target. What exposure did they use for this? If they used like 1/120s or something like that, they clear

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
