BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P 24 Inch 144Hz Gaming Monitor, 1080P 1ms, Black eQualizer and Color Vibrance for Competitive Edge

Great monitor for 144Hz FPS gaming. If you are still on 60Hz what are you doing, don't bother upgrading anything else until you get yourself one of these bad boys. Is not ips display, and the color quality leaves a bit to be desired outside of gaming, but thats not why you're here. I must say the out of the box picture settings are pretty bad. This monitor at 99 brightness will blind you, and that's what it's set to when you first power it on. I use a very low value Black eQualizer setting, as anything above 10 really does impact picture quality outside of gaming. This monitor is designed for one thing, and it does it very well -- Gaming. It was designed for eSports, so if you are getting this monitor for anything else, it's probably not a very great monitor, but once again... that's not why you're here. You are here to game.Has a nice sturdy base and it is very easy to adjust the position of the monitor. I'm a developer so during the day I rotate the monitor to vertical orientation and use it as a second screen. After work I rotate back to horizontal and switch to my gaming setup. This monitor gives you a lot of freedom in how you position the viewing angle of the screen without losing that stability --- this is a great feature to this monitor.The native settings controls are easy enough to navigate via buttons located on the button panel at the bottom of the monitor frame. I tinkered around in here and saved a couple different presets (for specific games) and it was pretty painless to do.For a value gaming monitor the overall product design of the monitor is quite good. Nice packaging to boot. I personally think it looks great. The monitor doesn't exactly feel high end, but it also does not feel cheap in any way.If you are a hardcore FPS gamer. This is the go-to value monitor in my opinion.Make sure to use the included DVI-DL cable.

Great monitor so far. Going from 60hz to 144hz is an insane and amazing difference. Out of the box, it seems like it would just be a plug and play like most other monitors. But unfortunately it is not.First of all I would reccomend using the displayport and not an hdmi. And if you have a CD drive, download the drivers with the disk it comes with, if not make sure you go to their website and download the drivers for the monitor.To install the drivers, extract the folder to a spot on your computers, ex. Desktop. Next go to device managers, right click on the monitor and update drivers. Click to choose to find the driver on computer. And find the folder, and click the folder to install the update.If you are running multiple monitors and they are all not on displayport, you WILL need the drivers for this monitor to work, and if you have a NVDIA gpu, you may have to go to NVDIA settings and go to multiple monitor setup and enable the monitor there, and in the settings you can put it to 144hz instead of the default 60hz there aswell.One other issue I had with the monitor out of box would be that the default colors are awful and look blurry. I would recommended putting it to standard mode and not eco mode, and looking at a good settings guide on the internet by googling the monitor, it was very easy to find.Overall it's great, and after setting it all up, I'm really loving this monitor. I would definitely get it if you were considering a monitor.

What i like most about this monitor is that i got it in 2 days! :) No, really, i like everything about it, the size, refresh rate, picture quality, and the adjustability. It tilts, rotates and moves up and down easily to get the perfect viewing angle. Has an included headphone jack which works great also. Display port cable was also included, which was a bonus.It will take a fair amount of adjustment to the color settings to get it just how you like it. Out of the box it was very bright with washed out colors. This is not a drawback as every person has their own preference.Gaming seems much more fluid and smooth with this unit. I had an Asus 21" 1080p, 60HZ made in 2009, so this is a major step up! I could immediately tell the difference in games running 144HZ compared to 60HZ.Do yourself a favor and order one! Overall this is an excellent monitor!

This is great for gaming at 1080p 60-144 fpsIt is very smooth the blacks are deep and the colors with vibrancy turned on are great for gaming.For design I also like the color spectrum and how it portrays them, but it is slightly better for gaming colors. Though with some fiddling it is definitely good-great for professional work.It doesn’t get the 5 because I have to constantly change brightness and color vibrancy levels depending on what I am doing (though not that bad of a downside for the price) it really is an amazing monitorAlso viewing angles are bad, but I never notice when I am actually using it like gaming, internet, watching a show or designing I don’t care since the only position I use it is directly in front of it, just figured I would mention.it does a full 180 rotation which seems cool for reading or artwork, but have not really used it too much.Overall great price, great performance / colors and blacks 1080p and up to 144 FPS with dvi only (so gaming consoles cant get to 144 only 60fps through HDMi)
