Is Elite Motion Clarity Worth Paying For? - BenQ Zowie XL2546X Review

[@fis1ks752]

The fact that they released yet another 240hz panel and have the cheek to charge even more than the last one from years ago should tell people all they need to know about zowie

[@michalsvihla1403]

I would just get an OLED at this point. 360Hz at 1440p is doable. Only downside is that when you decide to play at a tournament, they'll downgrade you to a Zowie.

Would've been good to have a Dyac 1 vs Dyac 2 visual comparison. Especially considering no reviewer that I've seen thus far has been able to actually demonstrate the value in Dyac 2, and since Zowie are delusional enough to think that the change from Dyac 1 to Dyac 2 is worthy of a $100 USD price increase, a greater focus on that would be appreciated. Good video as always, weird product though.

[@Taxjo2]

The price for it is already about 375-450€ here. Just looks like another way too high MSRP to sell older models or make discounts look better

[@rickgear2579]

Nope. TIme to get OLED. $500 is beyond absurd for this.

[@AnimeUniverseDE]

Current OLEDs, without BFI, don't do anything to combat persistence blur caused by sample and hold. They are worse in motion than any monitor with BFI or backlight strobing. We need to push manufacturers to include BFI on their OLEDs too for motion clarity's sake

[@griffin1366]

BFI is better than OLED still but at $500 I agree. Only thing going for it is its 24.5" size which OLED doesn't offer.

[@rickgear2579]

@@AnimeUniverseDE Have you actually seen an OLED monitor? 240 Hz has VERY good motion clarity and BFI is largely irrelevant at that refresh rate. Even 120 Hz looks great. BFI is fine if you are stuck at 60. I'm glad that ASUS included it in there QD-OLED, but using it comes at the cost of VRR and HDR. Still its fine for a game that you can run at a locked 120 fps, but can't hit 240 and that's a maybe. 240 no BFI >>> 120 w/BFI

[@GewelReal]

​@@rickgear2579Yeah, but wake me up when we'll get 500hz OLED with BFI at those 500Hz

[@AnimeUniverseDE]

@@rickgear2579 yes I have the C2 and have seen by how much BFI improves things. The C2 can use BFI at 60hz and while it flickers a bit at that refresh the motion is even clearer than at 120hz without BFI. It is really incredible, with BFI. Which is why I advocate for its inclusion

[@osirisgolad]

I think there is still a good place for monitors like these, as a secondary display that you only use as a primary display when playing games you want maximum motion clarity performance in; but not at $500, or even $400.

I dont know what is happening with zowie but all products I buy from them Its been complete trash. Only good product I had from zowie was like 5+ years ago with the EC2-A that still works and have less qc than brand new ec2-c copies I had. Another thing to keep in mind Dyac+ 2 or whatever will look good on blurbusters blur test or marketing zowie videos because in game is not that much of a diference. I have to agree with you and the comments paying full price on this specs is like buying apple products, 90% ppl using "professional" grade products will never make it pro level, better off enjoying better image quality than tryhard in games for nothing. Also even if you buy this there is still a chance to get defect monitor or dead pixels and good luck for the hassle to return it and live with it.

I know that if i was to get an oled i would spend maybe double the price of this since i would also need to get a better gpu to be even able to push enough fps at the higher resolution. As i found it's not really that good to set custom resolutions significantly lower than the monitor (so 1080p native a 720p custom res would still look ok, but from a 2k native a 720p res would be not that great, which i have tested)

I have a tons of things to say but before that, thank you for giving us some informations about screens, like always. Well, first, i found that your Response Time chart is a little bit weird if i compare with my experience with this screen, two month ago, i mean, that's not sound really credible but i have some things to say about that. What i found weird is the high/premium OD performance in terms of response time and Refresh Compliance, how that can be so bad while i've used these two mode while i've tested this screen and it feels super smooth and instantly ? (did you try to redo these test or this is a one shot test ?) I found that very weird because some screen (240hz) that you tested with a "better" response time just doesn't feel like the chart in terms of responsiveness so i think there will be some "error" or things to take in consideration, in addition it is weird while we know that OSRTT tool and stuff like that are generally very accurate. It's very interesting tho, also custom OD 17 (your settings) compared to my custom OD 17 (the same) doesn't feel like 8.2% of overshoot but a little bit more, while 8.2% is green (so it's ok, you won't notice it) it is in reality not the case in my experience at 240fps constantly, anyway, hugely dissapointed about how the screen managed so bad the Refresh Compliance by beign a 500 dollars TN panel with only 77.3% (weirdly, this screen feels more smooth than some 85% IPS 240hz panel...so...yeahn i don't really understand.) anyway, this Zowie still have so much less overshoot than IPS competitor. Also, some people will maybe prefer the XL2566K (360hz version) but in fact, this screen have a huge problem of Coil Whine at 360hz (i've had 4) while the XL2546X doesn't Coil Whine at all. So bad that the old XL2546K (K, not X) are not in the Best GtG Performance chart to compare the old and the new. Things that you won't consider while testing : Comfort,Zowie are known to have a "perfect" stand with a "perfect" OSD, Black Equaliser performance are the best of the market and no one IPS panel can do that like Zowie, also Color Vibrancy etc The Armada from HP looks better on paper but i'm pretty sure it's less comfortable and less good to play on this screen than on the BenQ. About Strobing, i've made Alien Pursuit too about Ghosting and Crosstalk and we get similar results, so bad the screen is not compatible with Blur Buster Utility, like, wtf, the XL2546X have imho better strobing performance than the XL2586X💀and the Asus is the best, Zowie today really become dissapointing.

Meanwhile, people are still waiting for your FO32U2P review.

[@WarframeCrunch]

3:36 That's why it would be cool to have variable response time. Like for example set from 30 to 70, which means that from 30fps to 240fps in games it changes from 30 to 70 response time. That way the response time could be always in the best settings you want, to never see too many overshoots or bluriness ghostiong with movement.

Always liked Zowie's strobing tech but do any actual esport players actually use it? I doubt it. Those monitor companies don't seem to understand that strobing is more useful at lower framerates, it's better for AAA or retrogaming if anything since it makes 60fps looks like 130+fps. If you run a game at 240fps already sure you get even more clarity from the bfi but it's honestly clear enough without. In fact bfi/strobing could increase input lag slightly so serious players would actively turn it off to be sure.

If zowie made a 1440p monitor, id buy asap. I went with the Benq Ex270qm, which is 1440p 240hz and I love it. I still think oled is not worth it

[@AquilaeYT]

Good luck with this screen, if you play Osu! and you want to play at 1080p fullscreen, your screen will never be at 240hz 🤣💀

[@C0nnie]

I get 240fps constant in fallout 76, 600+ in cs2 and overwatch, and if anything I just turn gsync on for other titles. i have a 4070ti super @@AquilaeYT

[@AquilaeYT]

@@C0nnie You don't understand, i don't talk about the performance of the screen or anything like that. I talk about a bug that ALL EX270QM have : When you want to play on 1080p fullscreen, this screen lock the refresh rate at 120hz. If you are naive you won't notice it, so you want the proof ? ok > turn On G-Sync, play at 1080p fullscreen and see the magic stuff appears : a beautiful 1440p screen which show you a cr*p 120hz lock, like, wtf.

[@C0nnie]

never heard of this, never experienced this lol. I have everything running natively at 1440p 240hz. I did uninstall the 4k stuff from nvidia though, which sounds more like what you're talking about.@@AquilaeYT

[@noobahoi]

Why wouldn't you go with an OLED monitor?

[@Pelicanzzz]

OLED's version of blacklight strobing is BFI. And that feature is limited right now. Sample and hold motion blur is real.

[@AnimeUniverseDE]

Because current OLEDs, without BFI, don't do anything to combat persistence blur caused by sample and hold. They are worse in motion than any monitor with BFI or backlight strobing. We need to push manufacturers to include BFI on their OLEDs too

[@emi5370]

@@AnimeUniverseDE Well, BFI is terrible for brightness and OLED are already on the weak side even with last generations vast improvements in this area

[@griffin1366]

No 24" OLED displays.

[@AnimeUniverseDE]

​@@emi5370I would use a less bright mode for the increased motion clarity. Give users the choice

[@jonbjorkeback9499]

Can the harping on viewing angles get any more tiresome? Seriously a non-issue for 99,9 % of the people sitting in front their computer.

[@griffin1366]

XG249CM is far better and the BFI mode is better IMO as well. Half the price too.

[@AquilaeYT]

🤣

[@abc-ni9lp]

If u blink with your eyes fast enough u can simulate backlight strobing on your OLEDs 😂 U can even buy strobbing glasses

I vomited when you said TN.

BenQ Zowie most overrated brand

[@scientist_nick]

Second 😊

[@madarab]

I've been saying for years it is just marketing gimmick so I was right. They scammed you like Razer with their gaming headsets or keyboards. LOL. Benq is the new Razer, it is the same with their outdated mice without any sw cos muh latency. In fact, they use outdated TN panels and mice without sw support so they cheap out, don't have to support additional features and kids playing Fortnite and CS2 will purchase it. Back in my days, I had 75hz, cheap 5 euro worth black/white genius mice which broke after one year and then I purchased new one. Now, I have Razer Viper Ultimate and RMAing it every year as much and get a new replacement. Previously I had Logitech G900, it developed a double click. RMAed, got G903 hero instead, again developed a double click after 6 months and any fps with ADS was then uplayable cos it randomly zoomed in and instatly unzoomed due to double click issue. MY Corsair keyboard keeps breaking too so I am living on perpetuum mobile strategy, RMA the old stuff and use the money from the old one to purchase new stuff which will break within warranty period too, and repeat the cycle.

Not reading that essay

[@madarab]

@@lavenderlolxd If you think that was an essay we found the reason behind your bad grades. No go tell mommy to buy you a different monitor, IPS or OLED.

[@Ralipsi]

Since my setup is a single monitor desktop, OLED is a definitive NO. The burning issue is inacceptable.

[@MakeSh00t]

there is no burn in.. new oled have anti burn in software when you use to max settings it turns off after 4 hours and clear the image.

[@Ralipsi]

@@MakeSh00t Tim said otherwise.

[@MakeSh00t]

@@Ralipsi he did not turn to the max settings he uses in normal... Because people do not want to have clear image when monitor needs it they have on 12 hours nonstop.

[@Anakeish]

Still worse than ASUS. Fast IPS are still better.

[@kinghadu9611]

lol what is this trash review? no UFO test for 120HZ the most used mode of the monitor? this must be some kind of joke

[@Decki777]

This monitor should not cost no more than 250$
