What is better OLED 480hz or BENQ 540hz ?
1 month passed u dont answer? What do you think from who you live from us i unsub u.
Nice review bro , I bought it and it's litterly AMAZING thx❤
I appreciate it 🙏
Hey nice man, happy the review helped. It's a sick monitor. Game on!
I 100% agree with you, this in 1440p would be *chefs kiss.* the benq EX270QM should do for now. prob my next pickup. im a frames/no ghosting/blur/nonsense snob and I think that may be the best option right now. curious on your thoughts
Good review sir, thanks 👍
Thank you! Much appreciated
I want to hear more about your pre-built. Lets seem some benchmarks and some OC potential (or lack thereof lol).
Lmao, will do! I'll likely dive in some point in May. Cheers man
Top500 😮 nice 👍🙂 . Nice video too.
Nice review ! Can you tell me if the ZOWIE XL2546X has a matte anti-reflective coating on the screen to reduce reflected lights, like the ZOWIE XL2546K. Thanks
Yo! Yep anti glare coating! I couldn’t imagine this thing glossy. Works really well in my area which has a lot of lamps
Please answer : zowie 2546 or LG ultrageae 27 qhd nano ips ? For gaming and non-gaming both .
I ❤ your videos!
Thank you! they take a lot of time, appreciate you
@@MinimalisTech I won’t even pretend I know how much time or how much work it is but whatever you’re doing please keep it up!
I'm far too lazy to switch monitors for different games. I need one for everything. Happy with my Asus PG27AQDM OLED
Putting anti-glare on a screen totally destroys the clarity. It should be a crime to do it.
Same, though I still keep my IPS for
Non-gaming/media consumption
yeah it's a bit lame swapping out nonstop - I'll be trying to set up a competitive specific setup separately at some point
Hey man, I hope u can help me. I need a fast monitor, I moving, and I need a small monitor, fast and comfortable for my XSX. I have a LG C1 48, is really fast and I believe, in the market right now, can’t find a monitor with the same response time on 120hz under 550USD, I think this and two models of Alienware IPS, but the DyAc 2 with 120hz in console, is worth it?
Can you change to 60-120-144hz too via Windows 10/11's Screen Settings (NOT Nvidia Control Panel nor similar 3rd parties)
Yup! Full range of standard refresh rates on normal windows display settings
whats the differenece between the xl2546K
Have you heard of the dual mode screens?
You mean the new LG one etc? I just did a review couple days ago on that one, it's wildly awesome. Clarity wise it aint beating DYAC2 I don't think though.
Just remember that zowie is a sponsor in the cs2 scene so many are forced to play on them. With that being said, it’s in no way a bad monitor.
compared to the new asus 540hz what would you recommend for competitive?
I recommend the benq one
If you play 1080p this is the best it’s going to get. Only monitor that beats this is oled 1440p
Do you consider 24.5 inches as small? I’m stuck between a 24.5 inch 360 hz monitor or a 27 inch 240 hz monitor. They are both the same exact price. Which do you think I should get?
For anything outside of competitive gaming yes I find it small.
If I’m only doing comp gaming 24.5 is perfect.
If anything else for productivity I’d want two side by side.
what do you think, should i buy the XL2586X or the xl2566k? the 66k got 360hz dyac gen1, the XL2586X 240hz dyac2
XL2586X is 540hz + dyac 2 and I don’t think it’s out yet. I was on the fence between 2566K(360hz dyac +) and the 2546X (240hz + dyac 2)I decided to go with the 2546X. I was leaning more towards the newer dyac 2 vs the 360hz with last gen dyac.
@@mikeyverano hello im in the same boat. Considering what to get. Older gen 360hz or newer Dyac2 240hz? What did you pick and are you happy? any results or test you went through?
@@iNasteable ngl canceled the order and still haven’t made a decision. Primarily because i was and still am currently using the LG oled 240hz. The reason i want the 2546x is to have solid motion clarity. I’m just not sure if it going to be that much better than my lg oled 240. I also was considering the 2566k cause at least the 360hz would be a worthy upgrade. However to take advantage of dyac + on the 2566k, the game you are playing needs to be run at a stable and constant 360fps. Zowie also recommend that you run the 2566k in a single monitor setup to make it easier on your PC to achieve the frames. I don’t want to sacrifice my second monitor just to try and hit the 360fps. That’s kinda why I’m still leaning towards the 2546x. But again I’m not sure if switching from my current oled 240hz would be worth it
I’m leaning towards just getting the xl2546x. $500 is reasonable. $1,000 is going to give me buyers remorse. I’ll take the extra $500 and buy some computer speakers or something
The strobing works well at 120HZ for PS5?
Yep, as long as it's over 48hz if I'm not mistaken.
Can the monitor handle 240hz well. I just don’t want to deal with ghosting
Of all the monitors I've tested I believe this is still the best monitor I've used when it comes to ghosting. I think the other closest equivalent is LG's 32" 4k OLED that has a 480hz 1080p mode.
guys which is better the xl2546x or the xl2566k im really curious?
66k go for it its has 360hz
This being my first Fast-TN I haven't tried the 66k. I know the DYAC2 on here is the real deal, I was surprised. I think you win with either.
@@fFrage01have you tried out both?
The 540hz version has been released? Where?
You can only preorder them rn
they're available to preorder for like above a thousand dollars
should i buy this or xl2566k ? please help for competitive cs2 and valorant
I think both are pretty sweet. Dyac2 is the real deal though. I was quite actually surprised by the difference.
The 540hz version is out too now I believe
@@MinimalisTech ACTUALLY MY BUDGET WAS FOR 2566K BUT AFTER THIS CAME LIKE ITS CHEAPER FROM THAT SO I AM THINKING TO GO WITH THIS AS FOR NOW THERE IS NO SIGN OF 360 VERSION WITH DYAC2 SO WAS ASKING THAT SHOULD I GO WITH 360HZ OR 240 HZ IK DYAC 2 IS BETTER THAN 1 BUT I AM THINKING ABOUT MONITOR REFRESH RATE DOES THERE IS A LOT OF DIFFERENCE IN 240-360 AND DOES IT BE WORTH IT TO GET 360 HZ OR SHOULD I GO WITH 240 AND DYAC2 AND TYSM FOR REPLYING
U should go for 360hz for shure is u get constant 360fps@@amanmaggon520
I have the same question too
@amanmaggon520 360hz will feel smoother (more noticeable with mice with a polling rate over 2000hz) but dyac2 has better motion clarity from what i saw
Those this support ps5?? Plz answer
Yes
not really anymore. ZOWIE XL2586X is 540 htz the new KING!
need an insane PC to achieve those frames, even a lot of competitive games aren't optimized for those frames even with the best specs. I think they released it too early, hardware needs time to catch up. also more than a thousand dollars for a 1080p monitor is kind of absurd
basically, blablabla, blabla, blablabla
Blablablabla
