About this deal

We’ve also included photos in the customizable mode at a setting of 12, which we found to be about as high as you could push things before the overshoot became visible. You can see the darker trail is now eliminated behind the yellow section but with the response times now being a bit slower, the image isn’t quite as crisp and has a little more smearing overall. In either setting though you do get excellent motion clarity from the super-fast response times combined with the high 360Hz refresh rate. There are small improvements in motion clarity relative to 240Hz, which is already very fast, but if we’re talking about the absolute fastest panels current available, supporting the highest frame rate output, this makes a difference to competitive and serious gamers. Gaming Comparisons With AMA switched to off, the average G2G response time was 4.6ms which was very good really, but not fast enough to keep up with a high 360Hz refresh rate, which results in a low 27% refresh rate compliance and some added smearing on moving content as a result. Obviously we have no real reason to want to turn overdrive off anyway, so we tested the other modes as well. Calibration and profiling can produce very good results if you have a suitable calibration device and software. This was profiled to 2.2 gamma, 6500k colour temp and to the sRGB colour space.

All of that comes at a cost, though. Reaching 360+ frames per secondin any game is no easy feat, and there are some games that won’t reliably reach those frames no matter how powerful your PC is. And your PC better be powerful. ZOWIE recommends at least an RTX 30 series (or RX6000 series) graphics card if you’re planning on buying this monitor. I wouldn’t go thatfar personally (in games like CS:GO you can get a whole lot frames even with slightly lower tier GPUs, as it’s mostly CPU-bound) but let it be clear: you need a beefy PC if you want to make full use of this panel. I sometimes feel headaches or eyes soreness while using the monitor. What can be adjusted to alleviate the discomfort if I feel unwell? Catch every detail of motion and enjoy the most fluid gameplay by ZOWIE native TN 360Hz refresh rate monitor, which ensures a flawless view of fast-motion consistently. Since everyone is unique, and have different vision conditions and sensation on color and brightness. Thus, The cause of the discomfort to everyone may be very different. Even if the monitor has the same settings and displays the same image, some people may feel uncomfortable, while others may not. Following are a few tips, and we suggest you can try to adjust to alleviate the discomfort condition: Learn moreWe measure the screen at default settings (with all ICC profiles deactivated and factory settings used), and any other modes that are of interest such as sRGB emulation presets. We then calibrate and profile the screen before re-measuring the calibrated state.

What is the optimal Hz performance for users to turn on the "DyAc", "DyAc+" or "Blur Reduction" function in the OSD? The interesting (and good) thing about this blur reduction mode on the XL2566K is that it has barely any impact to the screens brightness! We had measured 338 nits in normal mode (DyAc off) earlier, and with DyAc enabled we could still reach up to 323 nits. The screen actually defaults to 100% brightness when you turn DyAc+ on, so you will probably want to turn this down to something more comfortable, but it does give you a nice bright image and a wide adjustment range to play with, unlike many blur reduction modes on other screens which are often very dark.

On the face of it when comparing the BenQ and Asus 360HZ LCD displays the raw response time measurement numbers look quite similar overall, but we need to dissect them a bit more as well as consider the perceived motion clarity behaviour that we will capture in a moment. While the average G2G figure is very similar between the two screens (2.5ms on the BenQ vs 2.6ms on the Asus), there are a few differences across the data set which translate to differences in motion clarity in practice.

Gamut coverage – we provide measurements of the screens colour gamut relative to various reference spaces including sRGB, DCI-P3, Adobe RGB and Rec.2020. Coverage is shown in absolute numbers as well as relative, which helps identify where the coverage extends beyond a given reference space. A CIE-1976 chromaticity diagram (which provides improved accuracy compared with older CIE-1931 methods) is included which provides a visual representation of the monitors colour gamut coverage triangle as compared with sRGB, and if appropriate also relative to a wide gamut reference space such as DCI-P3. The reference triangle will be marked on the CIE diagram as well. The bells and whistles are nice to have, but this monitor is defined by its panel speed and almost everything else is irrelevant. If you like your games looking fast, smooth cinematic and immersive, don’t buy this. However, if the BenQ Zowie XL2566K represents a professional tool that will improve your top-level competitiveness, its compromises (and very high price) will be irrelevant.

Influencer Reviews- The Best Monitor For Pros

TN Film panel technology used to be everywhere in the monitor market. It was used in all the main gaming displays, and in most of the general and office displays too. At one point it was the most affordable technology for display manufacturers to use, but it fell out of favour when IPS and VA panels became more widely known and appreciated in the market, when they were improved significantly in performance, and of course when they became more cost effective to adopt. The other driver for the change was the shift to larger screen sizes, with 27″ being about the limit where panel manufacturers felt TN Film was appropriate and viable for a display.
