Update - XL2546K “bruise” + random shut-offs — replacement panel failed 4 months after warranty

Its better to jump to other panel as its technology is obselete now, Other ips panel can get even better performance than this DYAC stuff, even OLED doesnt have ghosting anymore, benq is overpriced for its DYAC technology while other ips / oled panel is cheaper option, I had XL2546K-B died on my aft

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

XL2546K upgrade for CS2/Valorant

I have the XL2546K and a Samsung Odyssey G6 360 hz. I switched to the G6 and I love it. 1440p and OLED makes it look much better and the 360 hz is also obviously better. I took me a while to get used to the bigger size tho.

Benq 540hz color yellowing and X series faulty productions

I have the XL2546K. Every single TN panel has this, it’s just bad viewing angles. It’s not like you’re using the monitor facing the side?

BENQ XL2566X 400HZ VS 480 veya 500 Hz OLED

I bought five 400Hz Benq models from Amazon, and the extreme blackness of the panel makes light bleed noticeable. It's a TN panel, after all, but I'd hope it's less noticeable on at least one. To make it less noticeable, the xl2586x had the same issue. I returned it because it was too expensive, and

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

Worth the buy?

Xl2546K has OLD DYAC CLOSER TO XL2546. xl2546k dyac perfomance is nowhere near to newer xl2566k/xl2546x+..etc Xl2546k is old and uses old panel/old tech. 600€ for it is a robbery. If you want zowie buy at least 2546x+ with new panel & usable dyac. *P s. New 300hz panel can be found in 100$ monitors
