About this product
The BenQ ZOWIE XL2540 is a 24.5-inch gaming monitor with 240Hz refresh rate, 1920x1080 resolution, and 1ms response time. It uses a TN display with Black eQualizer technology for better visibility in dark scenes. Connectivity includes DisplayPort and HDMI. It has a widescreen aspect ratio. Priced at $200.00.
Our take
The XL2540 is a classic esports monitor. The 240Hz and 1ms make for a responsive experience, and Black eQualizer helps spot enemies in shadows. TN panel colors are mediocre, but that's expected. It lacks modern features like USB hub or higher resolution. At $200, it's a good price for a dedicated competitive monitor. However, newer models offer similar specs with better ergonomics. Still a solid choice if you prioritize performance over image quality.
