My Laptop or graphic card doesn't have DP port, can I buy adapter for running 144Hz, 240Hz or 360Hz? Compared to typical IPS 360Hz displays, DyAc?™ on a TN 360Hz panel provides clearer and sharper outlines of overall moving images, helping you focus and have less distractions from the unwanted afterimage of the motions in-game. The BenQ 360Hz TN Film panel IS faster than the 360Hz IPS panel of the Asus in practice, with sharper and clearer images which shows there is still place in this super high refresh rate gaming space for this panel technology. 360Hz TN Film vs 240Hz OLED Comparison Corsair Xeneon Flex 45WQHD240 with 240Hz OLED panel Even though it's not the newest product on the market, the BenQ Zowie XL2566K was intriguing to test and benchmark, particularly in comparison with some of the fastest monitors previously tested, such as the 1440p 360Hz IPS from Asus and the array of 240Hz OLEDs. This BenQ monitor is quite niche, but its goal is to deliver optimal motion clarity, a goal it fulfills quite well, even when compared to other leading technologies. As for power consumption, the XL2566K does a great job. Although it's not the most efficient monitor, it's among the top half of contenders, consuming only 24W of power after calibration.

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.It’s very interesting to compare the response times and motion clarity of this new 360Hz TN Film panel against the 360Hz IPS panel we tested a couple of years ago, found in the Asus ROG Swift PG259QN (and other screens since). At the time we reviewed that screen we were using the “traditional” response time measurement method instead of newer, gamma corrected measurements. So to make the comparison fair, we’ve tested the BenQ XL2566K using the exact same method here: 360Hz TN Film vs 360Hz IPS Comparison Response times captured with “traditional” method to provide fair comparison

Additional performance improvements can be achieved through full calibration, and the XL2566K is quite easy to calibrate with excellent results. Professional gamers probably won't want to go through this process, as tinkering with contrast and color settings is likely the best way to game, but it's reassuring to know that accuracy is possible, even on a monitor like this. XL2566K is the flagship model that offers competitive gamers optimized smoothness and fast response, as well as its many customizable features that will help amateurs and pros alike to perform to the best of their best abilities. With the exclusive DyAc?™ technology on top of 360Hz refresh rate on a TN panel, XL2566K provides an overall clearer motion clarity than the market's offerings in its class.

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 We measured asuper low input lagon the XL2566K. There was a total display lag of only 2.25ms and with ~0.53ms of that accounted for by pixel response times, that leaves a signal processing lag of only ~1.73ms which is excellent. As a result the screen is perfectly fine for fast paced competitive games if you need from that point of view. Conclusion Connectivity is satisfactory, offering one DisplayPort and two HDMI ports. Regrettably, the HDMI ports only support 2.0 spec instead of 2.1, limiting them to 240Hz. This leaves only the DisplayPort 1.4 connector capable of fully handling 360Hz input, which could disappoint those wishing to connect multiple PCs. The DyAc+ mode worked very well in practice at further enhancing the visual experience for gaming and reducing blur. Whether or not a competitive or pro gamer would normally play with something like this enabled is debatable, but it’s there as an option for those who like it or who want to experiment.

Do note that this monitor doesn’t have built in speakers. I have absolutely no problem with this whatsoever, as this monitor is aimed at serious competitive gamers, and no serious competitive gamer is going to be using monitor speakers for gaming, but it’s handy to know regardless. Image Quality and Settings 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. Some settings can be adjusted to suit individual preferences and this includes the AMA (pixel overdrive) setting. Indeed, the XL2566K comes with presets labelled Premium, High and Off, along with a 30-step customizable slider. Premium achieves a fast response time but inverse ghosting is noticeable. High offers a better blend and will be used by many players. However, it’s so easy to adjust the overdrive settings and see instant results (there’s no change-related lag) that tweaking everything is recommended. We found settings between 11-18 represented a sweet spot where response time and inverse ghosting coexisted well, before causing issues.

I sometimes feel headaches or eyes soreness while using the monitor. What can be adjusted to alleviate the discomfort if I feel unwell? A TN panel, no matter how good it is, is never going to live up to a good IPS panel when it comes to the overall image quality, and that’s something that you should take into account when considering this monitor. This is a monitor that’s geared towards esports, and nothing else. If you’re someone who plays a game or two of VALORANT every week and uses their monitor for content consumption or single player games, this is notthe monitor for you. Everything about this product is geared towards tryhard (I use that affectionately) competitive gamers, and those people don’t really care for visuals all that much. Today we're testing a product that we've wanted to get our hands on for some time now: the BenQ Zowie XL2566K. We've spent a considerable amount of time over the past six months evaluating some of the fastest monitors on the market, be it the latest 240Hz OLEDs or the 1440p 360Hz IPS LCD that debuted last year.
