BenQ Unveils The ZOWIE XL2586X Monitor, Targets E-Sports Gaming With 540Hz Refresh Rate

BenQ unveils the ZOWIE XL2586X gaming monitor, with a whopping 540Hz refresh rate, making it one of the fastest options for e-sports gamers.

When it comes to entering the territory of 500Hz refresh rate, consumers have limited options, mainly from ASUS's ROG SWIFT PRO PG248QP & Alienware's AW2524H, which has made a consolidated entry in the market, However, BenQ has decided to step things up, by revealing their solution for fast-paced gaming on high refresh rate. BenQ is widely known for its lineup of esports monitors, especially those within the "ZOWIE" portfolio, with minimal response times and several other elements targeted toward hardcore gamers.

Diving into the specifications of the monitor, the ZOWIE XL2586X features a 24.1-inch panel with a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080. For the more interesting part, the monitor features a refresh rate of 540Hz, that too on a "Fast-TN" panel which is ideal for gamers who are eager to see frame-by-frame motion.

Arguing on the choice of panel here is something that won't do justice to the monitor, since it is a common notion that TN panels are the way to go when you desire low response times and higher refresh rates. However, you still get some drawbacks, especially on the quality output of the display, but if you are a hardcore gamer, it probably won't matter much.

The monitor also features BenQ DyAc+ Technology, which is a mechanism designed by the firm to lower motion blur in fast-paced games, allowing users to notice every little detail. In practical terms, it helps players control vigorous image shaking either during shooting or high-intensity movement scenarios. The DyAc Technology has been a primary reason why BenQ's ZOWIE lineup is popular in the esports segment, since not only does its implementation give gamers leverage, but it is also a unique one.

BenQ is yet to share details such as pricing and release date of the ZOWIE XL2586X, but we expect them soon, given that the product is already listed on the company's website. For gamers who see low refresh rates as the reason behind their lack of gameplay, BenQ has got you covered here, only then you won't have an excuse left.
