BenQ Zowie XL2546 Review! DyAc Has Ruined My Eyes Forever.. (IN A GOOD WAY) 

Who saw the rocket at 5:24 :)

The very first part when he “peeled” off the plastic 😂😂😂

How are your videos getting better even though they're already perfect??? 12/10 video

G-SYNC does not add input lag at the same framerates, especially if you force disable V-SYNC (at the slight chance of a tear). It's only if you unlock the framerate and can push more than the highest fps in the G-SYNC range (aka maximum refresh rate) that you'll see lower latency because there's a more recent frame available every ~4.16ms. In fact, if you force disable V-SYNC and leave fps unlocked (or locked above the max refresh) you get the best of both worlds i.e. the lowest input lag when your fps goes over the max refresh because traditional V-SYNC won't kick in, and the smoothness of G-SYNC when your fps drops within the range with no perceivable input lag penalty. This is what makes the XL2740 a great option for competitive players, because it's FreeSync and G-SYNC compatible.... maybe the XL2540 too but not sure if it's got VRR! With G-SYNC active at 240Hz, even if you drop to 120 fps the screen will still push the most recent frame at 4.16ms too (and not ~8ms).

Did anyone else notice the failed attempt at setting the logo sticker up for a repeal?? Or am I trippin?

g sync adds next to no input lag if you do it properly, and sharp drops in frames make it choppy af. g sync is a must

I have a 144 2k 4ms, and a 244 1080 1ms. You don’t notice when you go from 144>244. But when you try to switch back... man does the 144 feel slow.

I own this monitor, too. However, DyAc is a feature with a huge trade-off. Adding that extra black frame in between two frames effectively adds flicker to your image. While it removes ghosting significantly (especially in this ufo test), to some it may feel like they actually go back to ~100Hz ingame. Furthermore, to me it feels like DyAc makes your image very jitterish. Hence, I keep it disabled all the time

If they offered a version of this monitor with 1440p resolution and 32” size, I would buy it immediately.

I bought my ducky one 2 tkl rgb keyboard because your review inspired me. Man I'm satisfied with my purchase. Your vids are TOP notch!!! Keep it up! Now I want this monitor :D

1:00 Video feedback: i like ur idea of getting clean shots, but i felt that having ur arm in the way and showing like 45% of the screen was kind of weird and unnecessary

You are absolutely right about this monitor. I use it for years now and let’s see what one of my PUBG mates will say about it. He just ordered this one even though he knows he’s too used to IPS panels. Really curious what he will say. But from a competitive point of view I don’t think there’s a better screen at the moment

I think you have a typo in your description as it says 250hz. Awesome video as always!

Hey Brandon! So after watch both reviews I’m interested in your opinion. Do you prefer the Asus or the BenQ? Thank you in advance for your answer. Have a nice day!

I have the XL2740 and it’s AMAZING !!

Loved the video as always BT, keep them coming!

Dyac causes the monitor to run at 200Hz. Which increases input lag. Why do you recommend it so much besides the base compared to the alienware 240Hz monitor?

The production quality is 🤤

Have had this monitor for 2 months now. It is absolutely brilliant:)

Really knocked this video out of the water on the quality, BT. Never change man!

I appreciate and enjoy how you put real user opinion and advice in a logical way. It doesn't feel like you're going out of your way to just sell another tech product. That's the honesty that has earned my sub and noti bell time and time again here.

I love the Videos you are making dude, I hope you grow really fast cuz you are really deserving it!

This thing has actually significantly dropped in price from its original release if anybody is currently wondering.

Been wating for this for a while thanks for the great vid

I have the BENQ XL2411P and I love it I can’t image how good this one would be!!

You will never make a bad video. You could review those desk plants and still make it interesting. Thanks for the videos bt!

Loveing the edits

Great video as always BT!

That intro was so cool! Keep up the good work 💪

i ve never been into benQ products but this seems to be interesting(thank you for having my eyes destroyed because of the quality your videos offer )

Great video as always! I think you need to read some more about the modern g-sync monitors and how they dont produce any input lag, especially if you cap fps -1

Recently new subscriber, I just wanted to say the quality of your videos are superb, you definitely deserve more subs. Keep up the great work and looking forward to new review content!

mint vid bt ;) monitor looks great

played on 60hz all my childhood until i was 19. at 19 i bought a xl2411 running at 144hz and instantly noticed when played my cs warmup. about to get my xl2546 240hz tomorrow. been playing at 120hz cuz of new gpu without dvi-d ports lmfao! so the x2 jump will be incredible to play with.

benq xl2546 vs asus pg258q. Whic one do u prefer. (Dont mind the price diffrence)

I like how you’re so enthusiastic in this video like the enthusiasm

I have a benq zowie 144hz esports gaming monitor, itis so gooood , and I fixed my pc so I'm good at 144fps

Had this monitor for about 7 months now. You couldn't pay me enough to use any other monitor from any other manufacturer. Benq is hands down the best.

BT is making so many good videos for us! Thanks BT!

There’s only one thing I want to know BT. How on earth do you survive using only 1 monitor? I honestly can’t get my head around this. I’m rocking 4 monitors which I understand may be seen as overkill, but I don’t think I could go back to just 1 monitor, it’s like the dark ages

Oneplus 7 pro review ! Youd love the screen xD

keep going , i follow u from KSA

what is the dope arm light you have beside the monitor literally gives the best effects and is so aesthetically pleasing as all your videos are but man I love that thing

Waiting for my Model O to arrive has been the most painful experience of my life

I'm honestly very sceptical of getting a 240hz monitor because I don't want to get spoiled, since I won't be hitting that many frames in most games anyway. I think it's one of those things that sure you'll notice a difference going from 120hz or 144hz to 240hz, but going back is going to be a more dramatic change. And tbh I think I'd prioritize a higher resolution anyway.

Whoa, those neon light sticks in the back look really cool! Where can I find those?!

Duuuuuuude that transition at 4:16... How? Your production quality gets better and better when it was already insane.

Thank you so much for this video review! I will be changing my old XL2411T without displayport :( to this reviewed one XL2546. I hope it will make a difference.

Yessssss! A new vid!

great review. did you maybe try this monitor with ps4 and switch? i know they are locked at 60hz but i am planing to get this monitor for pc mainly and for use with consoles and was wondering if there will be some problems due to high refresh rate

Love the color you add to these vids

Hi BT! I have a question - what do you think which one is better and why Alienware AW2518H or BenQ ZOWIE XL2546 and why? if you can't answer everything just leave a comment will you make a video about this?

Damn amazing review. Better than most big channels

BT, care to share your wallpaper? That's sick!

benq xl2546 vs alienware aw2518H which is better?

Hey Brandon it will make my day if you saw this but keep up the great videos and the hard work you put in them 10 out of 10 in the editing and everything that goes into your chanel you really do deserve more subs and you are my favorite RU-vidr have a great day

I’ll never play enough to need this but another dope review!

O love the benq eyes blur option, i can play every day every night without having my eyes burned

Is Dyac worth the $200 price jump from the Benq 240hz WITHOUT dyac? Its a big price difference

Great job!! Maybe the Alienware AW2518H (not AW2518Hf) can beat the Zowie XL2546 (they call him the king off fps)? I really can't make up my mind which one to get...keep up the good work.

It’s a great monitor. I would feel very spoiled, but my wallet says otherwise

bro when i turn on my dyac on my benq 144hz my monitor gets so dark and it looks completly garbage !!! i just want dayc on but my normal coloured monitor, but its not possible what can i do :/

good video as always!

I've had this monitor over a year now after upgrading from an Asus, absolutely love it

Rick and morty T shirt. Instant like

Great review! Thx

I hope you guys understand that G-sync adds ~1ms according to various blurbusters' tests. So it really won't matter unless you are indeed a pro player in a lan.

great video bt!

Great video as always :)

Nice video man :)

Another banger :)

It seems really good indeed. But personally i'm holding for what's coming in the next months... I'm looking forward to the upcoming 1440p at 240hz and also curious about those IPS and VA @240hz 1080p. And from now on we're gonna see more and more 0.5ms (and below) monitors coming, it's gonna be the new marketing trend for the brands. PS: BT i spotted your Loxjie P20 is missing, what happened you ditched it ? :)

Freesync/Gsync adding input lag isn't correct. I don't know why people keep saying this, guess because they're not properly informed about it. Does need vsync and fps cap below the refresh rate to work optimally. Battlenonsense has done quite a lot of tests that prove my point.

The most clean monitor I ever seen, too its soo expensive 🤣. Notification squad 🔥

Man, i LOOOOVE your vids!!!!

I have bought this monitor for playing Fortnite but I don’t know what setting on the monitor I should use. Is dyac useful for Fortnite?

reminded me alot of the features i have on my old lg 24gm77 especially with the motion 240 feature it's really similar to DyAc, except the lg is 144hz tn panel, i still use it and love it after 5 years of owning it haha

I cracked my self from the start when u pulled the plastic off the logo.

Once you go high end monitor you physically can't look at a lower end monitor anymore

Outside of the monitor, which is amazing btw. What are those tube lights on the right and can you point me in the right direction to get some myself lol

If you read special tests conducted by Blur Busters G-SYNC moduled 240hz Monitors have virtually no added input lag plus you get a better tear free experience. The problem with this monitor is that for the same price or less you can get the ASUS PG258Q ( that is what i use) or the ALIENWARE AW2518H which have a proper built in G SYnc module which by itself costs a lot therefor justifying their price tag much better than this.. Those are also much more beautiful pieces of tech than this one and also incorporate some form of lighting (RGB for the alienware) which all together add up.

Nice video and even nicer shirt ;)

Im interested in buying that monitor but I've seen user reviews complaining the image quality especially colours is absolutely awful even by TN panel standards. I already have a 144hz benq with not great image quality but it's certainly enough to watch a movie sometimes. I wonder if this one is really much worse?

xl 2456???? which monitor are you reviewing anyway?

I will keep watching u till u reach a mill subs

You are telling me it will hurt my eyes???? Well thanks for heads up. I have been using BenQ XL2420G for 4 years and I was looking for a Change I need to plan carefully. Shall i go for MSI or AOC???

You earned a sub for this video. I'm getting my hands on this thing ASAP!!!

I think for most high end gamers the sweet spot for a display will be a 2k 144hz because you can easily run it smoothly in most games with an rtx 2080 ti, and the option to have an ips panel is just perfect for people who prefer better colors.

Dude u scared me with the title of the video...cause i bought 1 before watching ur review 🤣🤣🙈💪🔥Like and ty

How does it compare to the alienware 240 Hz? Is it better?

love your channel, i just wanna know what kinda desk is that and where did you get all of those lights

Does it have ghosting ? like i have mine the 240hz Alienware with Gsync and it has Ghosting which my eye literally hurt cuz of Ghosting graphics. Please Let me know & Thanks in Future!

hey the audio interface you have for your microphone looks awesome. what brand is it? also great vid!

👌 keep it up💪

xl2540 = 360 euros xl2546 = 480 euros that is 120 euros ($130) i'm paying Just for DyAc i'll prob pass on that

Benq Zowie monitors are pretty impressive, especially when they're using a TN panel.

You should do a review for the LG 27gl850 when it comes out :)

Thanks for this BT. I’ve been considering a 240hz monitor for awhile and wanted to know if DyAc was a gimmick but I think I love my 165hz IPS too much to switch :/

Wow this monitor is stellar but holy shit only 499? I was expecting like 1,500

Good video. How does one get rid of the awful blur on some games with this monitor however?
