The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P is an entry-level gaming monitor that offers good specifications at a reasonable price point.

ZOWIE is their line of gaming products, and the XL Series is their premier line of monitors targeted at competitive esports gamers. What is it?īenQ is a Taiwanese company that sells projectors, monitors, speakers, gaming accessories, and other digital products.

This is why I was super excited to get an opportunity to review the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P gaming monitor. It’s a great general-purpose monitor, but it’s not ideal for video gaming, especially for fast-paced, first-person shooter (FPS) games. On the one hand it’s wonderfully large (27 inches), has great resolution (2560 x 1440), and includes a wealth of ports (including DP, mDP, 2xHDMI, 5xUSB) on the other hand, it has a60 Hz refresh rate and a lethargic 8 ms response time. This monitor is a compromise for a gaming system. For a monitor, I use a Dell UltraSharp U2715H. When I designed my current system, I included a GeForce GTX 1070 Ti, a solid, mid-range video card.

The monitor is what gamers are looking at while playing, and the video card is what renders the games on the monitor. REVIEW – Without a doubt, the two most important components of a good gaming system are the video card and the monitor.
