Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for all of your support!
pls tell me where did you buy it
My boy bt always got the drip! The Kirkland hoodie is fire lol 🔥
congrats on 200k🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am down to see SEN BTasthetics xD
Well done Brandon!
Nice review I’ll probably go with the asus 360hz 1440p when that available though btw what’s the clear keyboard specs in this video?
Hello, What IEM's Are you using in this video when you play valorant? Thanks!
I just came back to this video. By the way there is a little error but it doesn't affect the video much in my opinion. It's when you say BENQ ZOWIE "2456k", when it is actually BENQ ZOWIE "2546K". You mixed the 4 and 5 around.
Example is at 4:02
I bought this monitor, but when I leave it at 360hz a thin white line appears in the upper left part and the letters are all blurry... could it be a problem with the monitor itself?
hows the screen tearing in apex since it caps @ 300 fps and this doesnt have vrr
lit video as usual
How long till the price drops u think
Do you run it with or without dyac? Dyac is smoother, but no dyac is less input lag.
The input lag is barely noticable but playing without Dyac is pretty bad.
Nice review! Any chance you'll be doing the PG27AQN? Really curious how the motion clarity compares, especially with it lacking BFI.
this monitor tested better.....no joke....crazy for a TN Panel...but its true...Fastest out there beside a OLED - QN but tested higher.
The PG27AQN is not bright enough with ULMB2.
Hello there, what mouse is he using?
Anybody know if theres a way to check when the Atlantis lamzu will be in stock?
Great review. Sentinels look like a promising team now that they have 2 great members of champions winners of VALORANT! I just had a question, I really wanted to use this monitor solely for gaming and another for multimedia purposes. I was thinking of going with the Alienware aw3423dw for multimedia purposes but I don't think I will be able to fit both monitors on my desk, do you have any other recommendations - btw a monitor of any budget, thinking of going all out.
Just got for a 24 inch 75hz ips monitor, I have a samsung 24inch monitor that was less than £100 and does the job
@brandontaylor should i stay with my acer 390hz or should i get this i play only valorant im asc right now only getting 300fps or below not consistant above 300fps so im trying to figure if this is better for valorant than my acer 390hz thanks
this is better, but think about your budget too.
Do you still love the DT1990s ? How do they compare to the 800s for sounding open, spacious and for gaming? I heard the 800s can’t get that focused sound. Don’t know if the 800s are worth it, they aren’t even build as good as these
I sold my DT1990s and bought Clear Mgs
I’m on ps5 will this work for 120hz?
So can you help me with choosing a monitor, 360hz benq or 360hz alienware? or they are same?
benq, ever.
What is the height of it with the stand ?
With the 500hz monitors coming, should I wait for those or get the benq 360hz now?
wait for my next monitor review :)
What IEM is that?
Thinking about getting the atlantis lamzu (coming from model O) but I'm not sure if I should get a different mice, any recommendations?
Sounds like you got it right already. lamzu would be a great pickup. There's also the 4khz option from g wolves and 4khz dongle + viper v2 pro that could work for you as well.
@@BTaesthetics Just checked out those other mice and I think I'll go with the lamzu. Thank for your suggestions, I really appreciate it! (Just subbed ;)
This display OR the new LG OLED 240hz 0.03ms?????? (claimed) it’s a jump up to $999 and I’m coming from a 240hz g7 1440 so zowie would downgrade res????????
Super small bezels are not always the best for competitive players because it makes the screen too natural and uniform in comparison to the background. That is also why benq even includes the "wings" for additional focus on the screen. Me for example, since I have ADHD, I prefer thicker bezels 100%.
the wings are for blocking light glare on the screen
@@pyybobble2420 as well as tourny play
Great point Vincere!
@@pyybobble2420 Not only that.
i dont see problem with those chunky bezels.. they are for durability and stronger backlight.. its an esports monitor not a fashion monitor
I got a 7 years old 144hz acer monitor, just ordered the zowie 360hz hope to finally eacape ascendent or actually i hope to feel/see a difference
how has it been, im in the same situation should i order it too?
@@aandrej it feels good, i definitely see and feel a difference, but it didnt make me a better player but i would say there was a improvement like 10-20%. A second monitor is definitely nice to have. I would recommend it but i got it for 500 bucks so yeah if u can get it cheap then go for it but if you buy it for the normal price i would maybe fo for 240hz
KSig jumper! You don't happen to be a golf guy also?
Last minute I'm watching the Hardware Unboxed channel video ends your notification triggers the same monitor is this a continued video part or what XD, He just recommended 360hz same monitor wow
Haha
I will also buy this monitor price is definitely high but I only cs go and pubg to be honest. Regarding Bezel I want them on my monitor.
Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
Is there any chance you can add latency tests to your reviews? I think I’m going to keep using my 390 Hz Acer for now and wait for ASUS’s 500 Hz monitor.
I want that Asus too I just hope that it has good motion clarity. If not I’ll probably just choose this BenQ.
working on adding that. doing some more research on my end to see the best way to do this
@@BTaesthetics Great!
@@phader2 I think the motion clarity will be as good or better.
when u gonna review the Asus PG27AQN
I currently own the benq 27, 240hz model. If they bring out the 27 inch instead of 24.5, I'll consider it. Otherwise it's not worth the tiny screen. When getting into this type of hobbies, money isn't the issue in my case. It's all about the feel and specs. Now I am spoiled and can never go back to 60hz. It makes me dizzy.....
finally someone agrees with me. I had a 24 inch benq 240hz. it killed my eyes and I can't spot the head of the enemies easily. too tiny it was!
Does this monitor also have a 240 hz option?
Yes
I bought aw2523hf alienware i hope i dont get ghosting
Very nice review, I think my sights are set on that 1440p 240hz OLED coming out though 👀
LG announced a monitor with those specs couple days ago for $1000. Brightness is still TBD tho
@@ItsZim0 whats tbd ?
@@mob9900 to be decided
What monitor is that by and when does it come out?
i’m imm3 on valorant and i have a 240hz alienware monitor w ips
panel and the ghosting is CRAZY but i don’t get more than 300fps so i’ve decided to get the 240hz bent monitor w dyac
Ips are kinda bad for esports most of the gamers use tn panels (Some cheaper tn too)
I just ordered the XL2566K yesterday. Hopefully it will arrive next week :D
I was one of the first who had a 240Hz monitor back in 2016 where I bought my XL2540. Until now it was been my primary monitor and has done good work. But I feel like this DyAc technology, which is missing on my old monitor, could really improve the clarity in game.
Also now I just installed the blurbuster storbe utility tool and I can say that it is already looking clearer on my XL2540. First I tought I would notice when G-Sync is disabled because that is what DyAc will also do/ not come with, but I didn't even noticed it. Currently I play a lot of Overwatch2 and there I definitely get the constant 360fps or even more up to 600.
I'm really hyped for the 360Hz and DyAc+!
where did you order it from? they are all out on amazon
@@christopherdelacruz9728 I ordered it from the official ZOWIE website. There is a feature that they notify you via mail when they have some in stock.
Did you get it? How is it compared to xl2540?
@@vedadvehabovic6052 Yes, I got it roughly 3 weeks ago. Compared to the XL2540 it's a whole world. I play a lot of Overwatch and when I connected the new monitor and switched to 390Hz I felt no major difference. But then I found out that the DyAc+ feature was completely disabled. Once I enabled it it was a different world. It felt like I am really playing in real time if you know what I mean. It is extremely smooth, also when moving around.
I did the UFO test on the BlurBusters site before with the XL2540 and then with the XL2566K and the difference on the new one is insane.
Now I got used to it, so I don't really feel it anymore, but if I would connect my old XL2540 I would definitely would not want to play with it anymore.
hi bro how is it? do u recommend?
I bought this monitor and was so excited for it to come in the mail. I waited for days on days but the day finally came. Everything was perfect. I plugged it in (ready to nerd out) only to discover that 360hz isn't possible while using an RTX 2060. Looks like ill be getting an entirely new PC in the near future!
Is it a good monitor though??
Why it is not possible on rtx 2060?
Cool guy, I aprove him
hati-s plus review when?
now u got me wanting to spend 600
BenQ Zowie monitors are on another level, been that for years. Certified shit fr. All other monitors are junk compared to Zowie
A friend of mine is playing with 60-100fps on 75hz monitor with bloody a90 130g mouse no mousepad and membrane keyboard .. & and he is stable immo 2-3 every season. Sound meme but hell no this is true. Gear do not matter so much All in your head. Up to this 1% of top tier comp queue.
Brandon my guy!
Ash!!!!
What mousepad is that?
New pad from esport tiger :)
@@BTaesthetics are you gonna review it? 👀
@@mizuuukage yep in the coming weeks :)
There is no need to get a 1080p monitor in 2023 . I used to have Zowie 2546 when i used to have 2080ti & r9 3900x . but now 1440p is a minimum . I got the Samsung neo g8 4k - 240hz when i got my 4090 and the i9 13900k and I must say this , people who play on 1080p are missing so much quality, please get at least a 1440p or a 4k preferably
Who cares ab quality. We want more frames and less delay to push rank 1 and get paid😂
So surprise by the price for it being a tn panel
TN panels are far superior to IPS, in my personal opinion of owning both types. OLED is king, though.
@@lizardpeter I feel that oled is king but I went from tn to ips after years of playing on tn and idk ips for me does it my uncle has a sick oled monitor and omg my fav to game on especially for sim racing
@@lizardpeter They're only superior in response times and motion clarity. When it comes to picture quality and colors they're quite lacking.
@@hauptmanngilbertoduber9953 that's why he said it's for competitive players, trust me they don't care about graphics as much as we do, they just want to be quick and have that advantage
@@AwwMizi maybe the TN u had wasn't as good as the ips you have right now, but I tried a fast ips and it comes nowhere close to my xl2646k, I know TN panes suck for colors and viewing angles but I just use 85% digital vibrance in Nvidia panel and in games it looks awesome, but the thing about these BenQ monitors is not the panel itself it's the technology implemented DYAC+
my eyes hurt after 2h of playing with Dyac+... it is so dumb. i will sell my xl2546k.
after 8h of gaming the next day my eyed hurt bad.
You will get use to it have the dyac xl2546 original great monitor when you adapt
@@Logan-ix8vh How long to adapt?
if u compare visual clarity like this..... its not right check RTings visual clarity is a top notch on fast ips lol and 1080p, srsly? wake up zowie u r under a rock for a good decade
asus 1440p 360hz review when?
still waiting.. hoping it comes in by the end of this month. it is coming tho. Thanks for watching nbi!
@@BTaesthetics 🐐keeping eyes peeled
This might be obsolete in a month...LG's 27" 2k OLED 240hz. Just gotta pray for no burn in.
They're 2 different monitors build for different purposes.
@@TWJYILYI think you are misunderstanding the tech benefits of the monitors.
@@TWJYILY not really
i seriously double that will support backlight stroabing with any usable brightness.
@@mikhaiwilson9224 if you talking about the upcoming LG OLED, backlight strobing is not needed. Instead, the pixels in OLEDs are powered by individual Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) which produce light by themselves. OLEDs have the fastest response times in monitor tech in production to date. Usually OLEDs response times are around 0.01 milliseconds.
If this will be your main monitor for most things... the benefits of an IPS panel far out weight the benefits of a TN panel and the difference between the two will not effect your gaming performance at all compared to other features... having a TN panel will only degrade your viewing experience in terms of colour accuracy and viewing angles as well as being the worst choice of panel for professional work like photo & video editing etc, i am currently typing this from a BENQ XL2420G (TN Panel) and i can say the only scenario i'd choose this panel over and IPS panel is if i was competing for real money & this monitor touched nothing but video games for it's entire life...
I got a xl2566k a week ago.. the backlight uniformity on these Zowie monitors is tremendous. Mine is very bright on the bottom half and darkest on the top half. The colors change gradation within a few centimeters. I don't see many advantages compared to my old xl2546s (240hz DyAc plus), indeed I think that this new 360hz suffers more motion artifacts (corona in particular).
@Josh Oldham LoL... ok.................
I got it 3 weeks ago too. I can confirm that the contrast is horrible, pixel density, and it can tear your whole sight apart. The monitor is not good at all. I am back to 240hz also zowie with dayac on high.
him; *only talking about fps games* also him; *forgets that rhythm games are best suited with CRTS or displays with high refreshrates and thick bezels*
Thats out of my scope can you explain more. I'm actually interested in this. Maybe i can talk more about this in upcoming videos.
@@BTaesthetics beasically in rhythm games, because they're so low-demand in terms of specs you can usually get 200 or more FPS even if your running a pentium and integrated graphics. So using a high refreshrate monitor really helps. As it makes the notes easier to see and helps with reaction times. Also when you get to the point where I am, where a 60hz panel pretty much prevents you from getting further, having a higher refreshrate can help you get even better at playing rhythm games. Also a bug border on the edge of a display can help immerse you via keeping your eyes closer to the center of the screen. Whereas while playing with a near-borderless screen, it can distract you especially if you have ADHD or a natural disorder that makes your attention span the same as a goldfish's.
He makes reviews based on fps games since that is what he mainly plays
dyac only add input lag and ruined your eyes,bad technology,in that case better gsync ultimate with low latency ultra
It's true that it feels better. Honestly if any gonna cry about it cost too much. Sorry mate, get a different hobby or get a better paying job.
Ps this isn't the monitor for watching shows or movies. You'll really regret it.
I really wanna see a double blind test to see if anyone can actually tell the difference between 360 and 240 because I've got a feeling the difference it's gonna be extremely minute
Would the "average" person be able to tell? Maybe not but I guarantee you EVERY single high level fps player will be able to tell the difference without a doubt. It's only the casuals and noobs who can't
I've used the xl2546k, xg2431, 25xv2q, and the xl2566k. I'm immortal on valorant and I can definitely tell the difference, with that being said it's not going to make you something you aren't. But when you do those big flicks you retain more information on your surroundings and it's much easier to react and hit a flick.
@@jacobferguson7449 how much better are the colours on the 2566k compared to the 2546k?
@@jacobferguson7449 How does the colors on the XL2566K compare to the Acer 390hz ? I'm running the Acer one since Sept last year and thinking about upgrading for competitive titles only.
.... Bruh... My wallet :(
Imagine paying this money for a 1080p monitor with a TN panel in 2022 though.
bro this monitor is for try hard gaming mostly for pro fps player that doesnt give af about quality , i mean even when they play with $5k computer they still gonna put low settings everywhere .
You dont get it because you dont play fps games and you dont care that much about motion blur.
@@thomasshelby5454 fax I saw a clip of Simple one of the best csgo players get a 3090 just to play on 1280x960 everything low.

No, you don't need the measurement consistency for competitive reasons, you need it because it's a TN panel and if anything is slightly off your $600 monitor looks like trash.
who buys 1080, wait for pg27aqn
This makes me miss my XL2430T (144Hz) a little bit. 🥲
