The BenQ ZOWIE XL2566X+ is a monitor designed with a very specific audience in mind. Unlike many premium gaming displays that attempt to balance gaming, content creation, and entertainment, this monitor focuses almost entirely on competitive esports performance. With a 400Hz refresh rate, Fast TN panel, and the latest DyAc 2 motion clarity technology, it aims to provide professional and aspiring esports players with every possible advantage.
After spending time with the monitor in fast-paced shooters such as Counter-Strike 2, it becomes clear why ZOWIE displays remain a common sight at major esports tournaments around the world.
4Esports-Focused Design and Ergonomics
The XL2566X+ monitor includes removable shielding hoods designed to reduce distractions from ambient lighting and peripheral movement, making them particularly useful in tournament environments.
The redesigned stand is another highlight. Height adjustments feel smooth and precise thanks to the upgraded mechanism, allowing users to quickly find their preferred viewing position. Tilt and swivel adjustments are equally easy to use.
The compact stand base also leaves more room on the desk for keyboard positioning and large mouse movements, which many professional FPS players prefer.
