The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test is here. This is one of the most popular 144Hz monitors in gaming. This is also the "successor" of the BenQXL2411Z. The specifications between the two are identical. Only the "ZOWIE" brand was added. This comes from the eSports scene. In our opinion, it was merely a strategic renaming for marketing purposes.

We have compiled some useful information about the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411.

General basic data

This BenQ model is equipped with a 24 inch  Full HD ( 1920 x 1080 ) 3D gaming display. We feel the 24 inches in any case sufficient, since we ourselves exactly the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411  two times on our desk have. Not infrequently, one or two 27-inch monitors are much too large for the desk and thus take away too much space. This is, of course, our subjective opinion!

Features

Let's take a look at the general features in our BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test. Here is a small listing, which gives you a small overview:

Low Blue Light

Flicker-free technology

Individually adjustable refresh rate ergonomics

Motion Blur Reduction

Presets, configurations, and downloads

Black eQualizer 

Low Blue Light

Often it happens, especially in long Zockersessions, that our eyes burn, we get tired or even get headaches . The most common cause is the blue light of the screen. With the Low Blue Light technology, the BenQ company allows us to customize and regulate. This allows us not only that we can sit at the computer for longer but protects, at the same time our eyes to sleep or prevent eye damage. The 144Hz monitor scores in the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test! 

Flicker-free technology

BenQ has worked perfectly with professional CS-Go gamers gaming screen perfectly matched so that almost no flickering occurs. This not only enhances the image and makes it look smoother, but also prevents fatigue after several hours of gambling. 

Individually adjustable refresh rate

Like most BenQ gaming monitors, the ZOWIE XL2411 also has a customizable refresh rate between 60, 100, 120 and 144Hz. We think, however, that the 144 hertz will be the most chosen setting. 

Ergonomics

Like its predecessors and descendants, this BenQ Gaming Monitor brings a super foot , which allows for many  individual adjustments . Among other things, the ZOWIE XL2411  can be steplessly adjusted, tilted from -5 ° to + 20 °, rotated from -45 ° to + 45 ° and even rotated from horizontal to vertical .

It also has a standardized device for a VESA (Video Electronics Standards Association) wall mount. 

Motion Blur Reduction

With the Motion Blur Reduction technology, the BenQ Gaming Monitor provides a streak-free image even in fast, action-packed FPS games , where every millisecond counts . As a result, gamers no longer suffer from poor image quality due to lagging and motion blur . We are excited about the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test! The 1Ms reaction time often brings you a decisive advantage . 

Presets, configurations, and downloads

In the official download page of BenQ you have the possibility to download one or more presets / settings of professional players or the manufacturer. Furthermore, you will also find the latest firmware, documentation and more. 

Black eQualizer

The Black eQualizer from BenQ ensures an automatic brightening of dark scenes in the game. So you have the possibility (eg in Shootern) to see your opponents also in dark areas better and faster.

According to the manufacturer / developer data, lightening of these dark scenes should not cause overexposure to other parts of the image. According to our BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test, we can agree almost completely. Although there is no over exposure, however, image is generally quite bright. We had after some time to get used to it and then found it pretty good. Nevertheless, it could not please everyone. 

Conclusion of the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test

The BenQZOWIE XL2411 Gaming Monitor looks chic and modern and offers some  ergonomic settings . The image quality is pretty good and sharp. The screen brightness (luminance) is in our opinion in any case in order, because these objects can be detected very easily and quickly. The interface selection is definitely useful for a gaming monitor because it supports HDMI, DVI-D and VGA. But we would have wanted instead of the VGA port a DisplayPort.

On the whole, this is a super gaming monitor, with which one gladly befriends and with which one after the purchase  long sessions will spend. The many features, high refresh rate , low response time and 3D support make up a lot of action games and almost double the fun!

A small criticism, which is still on our hearts, would be the missing G-Sync support. Would it include this, it would be the perfect gaming monitor with a very good price-performance ratio.

We hope you got the added value with our BenQ ZOWIE XL2411 test!
