BenQ has officially launched the Zowie XL2586X+ gaming monitor in India. Priced at Rs. 94,990 ($1104), the monitor is now available through Amazon.in, Zowie India’s online store and select authorized gaming retailers. This 24.1-inch Full HD display is aimed squarely at professional and competitive FPS players, with a strong focus on motion clarity and responsiveness.
BenQ Zowie XL2586X+ Specifications
The XL2586X+ uses a Fast TN panel with a native resolution of 1920×1080 pixels. The panel supports a 600Hz refresh rate for PCs via HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort 1.4, and up to 120Hz for consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
It features Dynamic Accuracy 2 (DyAc 2) technology, a dual backlight system that significantly reduces motion blur while maintaining soft lighting to ease eye strain. The panel’s improved electrical conductivity helps reduce overshoot, improving clarity during rapid in-game movements.
BenQ has equipped the monitor with a new vivid color film that enhances color performance by up to 35% compared to regular TN panels. This improvement makes it easier for players to distinguish enemies from the background, particularly in fast-paced titles like CS2 and Valorant. Despite being a TN panel, the display achieves better sharpness and color distinction at esports-standard resolutions such as 1280×960 and 1920×1080.
In terms of certifications, the XL2586X+ includes flicker-free support (when DyAc 2 is turned off) and low blue light mode, improving viewing comfort over long sessions. The monitor does not carry an HDR rating but focuses purely on esports-oriented visual enhancements.
For gamers, the monitor includes a full set of features like Black eQualizer, Color Vibrance, Auto Game Mode, and XL Setting to Share, which allows users to share and apply optimal display settings across different titles. It also includes a 5-way S Switch for quick navigation and a shielding hood for distraction-free gameplay.
The monitor stand features an industrial-grade bearing system that enables smooth and accurate height adjustments. It offers a height range of up to 155mm, tilt adjustment from -5° to 35°, and swivel support of ±45°. Additionally, it supports 100×100mm VESA wall mounting for flexible installation options.
In terms of connectivity, the XL2586X+ offers three HDMI 2.1 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a headphone jack. It has a built-in power supply rated at under 65W, and the total unit weighs 5.9kg (net) and 11.6kg (gross).
To run the monitor at 600Hz, users must be on Windows 11 (post-November 2023 build) and use a modern GPU such as the Nvidia RTX 40-series or AMD RX 7000-series, paired with an Intel 14th-gen or AMD Ryzen 7000-series CPU.
BenQ has also confirmed that the Zowie XL2586X+ is the official monitor of IEM Katowice 2025, reinforcing its positioning as a premium esports-grade display.
In related news, Philips recently launched the Evnia 24M2N5200X gaming monitor featuring a 610Hz refresh rate and 0.1ms response time, while LG has introduced a 31.5-inch 4K monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, Ergo stand, dual speakers, and 60W USB-C PD support.
