BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P 24 Inch 144Hz Gaming Monitor | 1080P 1ms | Black eQualizer & Color Vibrance for Competitive Edge

Simply amazing, all around. The resolution is very clear, and the colors are so strong you might actually have to turn them down; the screen is just so vibrant. Combine this with the 144hz which makes everything look so smooth and easy on the eyes and you get an absolutely amazing display. Some other pros: The monitor is somewhat big, has great flexibility in how you can flip/rotate/align the screen, has good inputs (Headphone, dvi, displayport, hdmi), It has some durability to it and will not break easily, is made by a great brand, has an inoffensive design (Most 144hz monitors have "gamer" designs which not everyone wants. This has a simple and mature design that doesn't scream "I'm a teenager"), and all for an amazing price. The only downsides I can think of is that you might have to alter the display options when you set it up due to the colors being so strong, and also the fact that they don't give you a manual in the box, but that's fine since it's available online -They do give you a setup sheet but not the entire manual.Overall, I love this monitor, it's perfect for what you pay for it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a budget friendly 144hz monitor. BenQ also makes even better monitors with more features, so if you feel this isn't enough, check out the rest of their monitors.

Great monitor for 144Hz FPS gaming. If you are still on 60Hz what are you doing, don't bother upgrading anything else until you get yourself one of these bad boys. Is not ips display, and the color quality leaves a bit to be desired outside of gaming, but thats not why you're here. I must say the out of the box picture settings are pretty bad. This monitor at 99 brightness will blind you, and that's what it's set to when you first power it on. I use a very low value Black eQualizer setting, as anything above 10 really does impact picture quality outside of gaming. This monitor is designed for one thing, and it does it very well -- Gaming. It was designed for eSports, so if you are getting this monitor for anything else, it's probably not a very great monitor, but once again... that's not why you're here. You are here to game.Has a nice sturdy base and it is very easy to adjust the position of the monitor. I'm a developer so during the day I rotate the monitor to vertical orientation and use it as a second screen. After work I rotate back to horizontal and switch to my gaming setup. This monitor gives you a lot of freedom in how you position the viewing angle of the screen without losing that stability --- this is a great feature to this monitor.The native settings controls are easy enough to navigate via buttons located on the button panel at the bottom of the monitor frame. I tinkered around in here and saved a couple different presets (for specific games) and it was pretty painless to do.For a value gaming monitor the overall product design of the monitor is quite good. Nice packaging to boot. I personally think it looks great. The monitor doesn't exactly feel high end, but it also does not feel cheap in any way.If you are a hardcore FPS gamer. This is the go-to value monitor in my opinion.Make sure to use the included DVI-DL cable.

It might be a little premature to post a rating seeing as I just got it today. So far, I love the monitor. Setup was extremely easy. There are no dead pixels that I can see. The response time is extremely quick. I've not played any games on it yet, so time will tell how well it handles the few games I play. I'm not sure if my two 23-inch Samsung monitors are very bright or if the ZOWIE is a little washed out, though I am getting used to that already. Considering that my two Samsung monitors don't really match each other in color exactly, it could be that the Samsung monitors are a little off. I do wish the ZOWIE went a little lower. There is room for it, after all. If there is a con to the monitor, it would be that the power cable is shorter than I'd like. It's standard length, but one a little longer would be nice. I had to use an extension cord to connect it to my backup battery.I thought it came with a DVI-D cable, so I bought a DP cable. It turns out that the monitor comes with a DP cable instead. It was probably me misreading something.So far, customer service is great. I had a question about the monitor, and customer service responded within 10 minutes or so on Amazon. They also responded quickly to my follow-up question.So, overall, I am satisfied with the monitor. I looked at a few before deciding on this one.Edit 5/26: I have recently been playing Mass Effect: Andromeda. In games, the monitor truly shines. The colors are so vibrant. I'm not sure of the refresh rate during the game, but I do not develop eyestrain. It's either the monitor or the new computer glasses I purchased. This monitor is fantastic for gaming as well as productivity.
