BenQ Zowie XL2566X+ 24.1" 400Hz FHD Gaming Monitor 16:9 1000:1 Tilt, Swivel and Height Adjustment, DyAc+ HDMI DisplayPort

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2566X+ is a 24.1-inch 1080p gaming monitor with a 400Hz refresh rate and DyAc 2, suited to competitive FPS players who prioritize fast screen updates and motion clarity.

Recommended For

• Competitive CS2, Valorant, and other esports FPS players who prioritize clear motion and responsive aiming over higher resolution; the 400Hz refresh rate and DyAc 2 are designed around fast-paced play.
• Players with a gaming PC that can deliver high frame rates in their chosen competitive games, so they can make practical use of the monitor’s 400Hz refresh rate.
• Esports players who want a dedicated 1080p competition display and value ZOWIE’s motion-clarity features more than a higher-resolution, all-purpose screen.
• Competitive players who adjust their monitor position between practice sessions; the height-, tilt-, and swivel-adjustable stand supports setting up a consistent, front-facing position.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In competitive PC shooters such as Counter-Strike 2 or VALORANT, players with a PC that can sustain very high frame rates can use the XL2566X+ for smoother, more immediate-feeling movement and aiming.
• During fast mouse turns, strafing, or tracking a moving opponent, DyAc 2 can make motion easier to follow; its benefit is most relevant to players who prioritize motion clarity over cinematic image quality.
• For esports titles where frame rates are stable and high, players can prioritize DyAc 2 for clearer motion; when frame rates vary, Adaptive-Sync may be the more suitable choice, since the two features cannot be used together.
• Players upgrading from a 144Hz display may notice smoother motion and more immediate-feeling mouse movement in fast games; players already using a 360Hz monitor may notice a smaller difference from the move to 400Hz.
• For graphically demanding single-player games, the monitor still works as a gaming display, but users should not expect to reach its highest refresh rates in every title; it is better suited to competitive games and settings that allow consistently high frame rates.
