Looking forward to comparing this to a few more budget 144Hz monitors real soon!
When can u stream valorant?
Keep this monitor reviews coming
We need a comparison to the benq ex2510.
MSI G273qf for example? Think its a great hardware for its price :)
The BenQ Mobius is a better version of this
Also, could you look for more backlight strobing monitors with ELMB/ULMB sync? And would you say 144hz with backlight strobing is better than 240hz without?
So weird that BenQ have hidden the full overdrive control in the factory menu... And thank you a lot for the shout-out!
Best monitor review channel meets best SFF channel pog
@techless do a review off asus vg249qg1r
Are there hidden settings for the EX2510?
more weird thing is that you could not save the od settings !!! that is so dumb
The factory settings seem to only apply to the "standard" profile as it automatically switches to that profile when I open the factory settings. do you have any idea how to fix this?

Sometimes I lose compete track of what he’s saying because I’m so focused on his cracked af gameplay
Really excited for your budget monitor comparison you mentioned at the end of the video as I am exactly in the market of someone who wants a faster monitor for playing competitive games but still wants a good, colour accurate monitor for media consumption and general use
Dont know why, but the "retro" look on these "new" zowie monitors are really nice
it has a minimalistic-ish look and i really like it, too bad i got the xl2411p days before it released.
I bought the orochi v2 after seeing your review, and it's blowing me away!
Great to hear!
i got one too, i love it i still think id like the suplight better but too expensive
Id get it but my hands are big
@@optimumtech we need the top 144hz monitors vid
@@optimumtech I need a monitor for PS5 specially for Warzone. Which one do you recommend? Xl2411k or XL2546k? Please help me out I am confused
uploaded "1 minute ago". Aw yiss, it'll be a good day starting with OT
same here lol
This man out here uploading at 2am in his time zone
I'm just glad to see you won that round in the intro :3
i like how bezels look if they are symmetrical and equally thick on all sides
Love how u showed the settings u used with the monitor. Keep doing that!
I hope you can test different monitors on 144hz through HDMI 2 as this should start being standarized. I tested that with alot of different monitors even up to 1000€ euro ones but the benq 2411k was the best one imo (fastest and most responcive without ghosting). It also looks much more vibrant and clean when using the ultra hd mode (capped at 120hz)
and how do you enable ultra HD mode?
Hoolyy I was actually looking for this ty!
I've had my 2411k for half a year now and love it. Can't wait to upgrade to the 240hz version
is it worth the upgrade tho? is dyac premium and 240 hz worth the 250-300 more you'd have to cough up?
@@ichampagnez2204 Probably not at the price its at now. However, I saw something a few days ago where they are going to lower the cost of the XL2546k from 500 to around 350 within the next 6 months. Maybe then it would make more sense to upgrade. Still love my 2411k.
@@jacob-ug3sc thanks for the reply man. hows the dyac on the xl2411k would you recommend me buy it?
@@ichampagnez2204 monitor feels good in game, I like it. Don't spend all your money on it but if you can afford it & need a new monitor go for it. I think zowie even offers programs where you can try the monitor out before you buy.
@@jacob-ug3sc Have you a got a ps5? And if so how do you connect it up to the monitor since the console has no display port?
The thing is. I have astigmatism. As other people I saw using TN panel for that ( for some reason we don't get eye strain with TN panels ). I tried Alienware Nano IPS panel and it hurts my eyes so bad. Even IPS panels hurts it so bad. I don't know why. VA panels are somewhat easier, but still not perfect. For me, the best is TN panels. I am a front end developer, so the colors are important to me somewhat, if I don't get from the designer. So the thing is, the calibrated TN is pretty much close to an IPS color gamut. Not the same, but close. Also, most importantly to my health, I can use it 12+ hours a day for working. I was not able to do that with IPS panels unfortunately and I tried so many. I returned like 15 different ips / nano ips monitors. I calibrated each of them. I have glasses. I tried f lux. I have bias lightning behind the monitor. I tried all sorts of settings. I sit properly as well. Nothing helped. But a TN monitor.
Did u get the Zowie XL2411K?
same here, boy. i agree with you absolutely
I also have astigmatism and I don't get much strain in long hours, I use for 10-12 hours
I bought the BenQ EX2510 after watching your review, and it’s really good overall monitor for its price. Can you do a comparison between these two monitors?
zowie is alot better, ex25 is kinda ass because of the IPS panel, it's slower, i don't like it
@@sermedjaber how u tried this? Ips panel ex
@@KaseBx what?
Buying this for my series x can’t wait!
How is it? I'm looking to buy it but I just need that last bit of confirmation
@@tristinneely6598 it’s actually very nice for the price! The input lag is incredibly low and doesn’t look that bad
I wish Zowie would make a 240hz 1440p monitor with their DyAC options, or even just a 144hz 1440p with it. I feel like it would easily sell far more than the Samsung G7 and Alienware 27in 240hz 1440p monitors if it pulled off the same type of performance as the 240hz 1080p version.
i want DyAC with IPS more than more pixels tbh
but both would be god tier
Dude, Zowie have XL2730 or XL2735 with 2.560 x 1.440 144hz
Ohhh new vid that isn't over my budget
I got this for myself for Christmas. Honestly, it’s not bad at all. It’s just a little outdated compared to other monitors. However, it is a blessing to have those controls as it makes adjusting settings easier compared to my Omen monitor. I snagged this for $179, so maybe that’s why it’s worth it to me.
Is there volume on the monitor?
@@et_youngboy3284 Bruh that’s what I’m figuring out
big thanks Ali. great video as always
As much as DyAc is a godsend, I don't think it alone can make up for the lack of adaptive sync, and the fact that it's a TN panel. Nowadays IPS panels can get within spitting distance of the performance TN's used to dominate over. 230 dollars for a TN panel is a bit pricey.
My dude. This monitor is sold for motion clarity (on a budget at that), yes the IPS can hit close response times but the ghosting will be more noticeable whether you like it or not. Especially at a budget range. I hate when people talk about monitors without mentioning the little details that are actually vital to deciding a panel, but no website or company or reviewer ever fucking mention them. No wonder Nvidia invented the LDAT.
This monitor is aimed at competitive fps pc gamers. They turn down most graphics to low to as much fps and clarity as possible. Don’t buy this if you want your game to look good. At fps over 100 fps adaptive sync doesn’t matter because time between frames are very short.
Finally you made a video of this ❤
BenQ EX2780Q 27" 144Hz is what im using came with a remote and hdr so cant complain really, loving it for all my fps gaming and odd other title too.
Thx dude and I was the reminder
FYI for monitor shoppers:
The LG 27GL850-b can be had on the used market for a similar price, and it's far superior.
How’s it far superior? Ps5 doesn’t support free sync
lol ips has slow response times
i dont know how close that 2411k is to my 2411z (benq please, better naming scheme),
but there are hidden overdrive settings depending on wether you chose low blut mode or not. one way would be to switch to low blur (dyac in your instance), select medium overdrive and then switch off low blur, for a bright, very clear imagie with minimal overshoot (ghosting)
also there is a way to change the porch timing to brighten up the image ALOT when in low blur mode
Thank you Ali for downgrading to review stuff for us
I’ve literally been in a moral dilemma if I should get this monitor since its in stock at my local retailer and now I’m 100% getting it!! Great review (Big fan of your mouse reviews as well) .
I recommend getting either get a 144Hz/165Hz IPS or a proper 240Hz TN/IPS if you're a serious fps player. There is no reason to buy this over a 144hz IPS, a 240hz IPS, or a 240hz TN.
if u want best 144hz 1080p my recommendation goes to viewsonic xg240r best tuned monitor when it comes to pixel responsivnes and color reproduction
@@WrexBF yeah i’m a csgo faceit player i’m pretty serious when I play but don’t have funds for a 165 hz montitor / 240 hz since then I’d have to buy a better pc than i have planned to buy to get a constant 170 + fps /250 + fps for the 240 hz
@@WrexBFI had top tier 144hz IPS monitors for my ps5, and it’s slow blurry trash compared to my zowie. Viewing angles are fine and so are the colours no one cares about that
I have a question. Is this monitor still worth it for this year? I don't know whether to buy this monitor or the 27" MSI G274F Gamer Monitor (Rapid IPS, Full HD, 180Hz, 1ms, DP+HDMI, G-Sync, Vesa) which is from 2023, has more hz and maybe this one better designed given that IPS has improved a lot... But I really don't know which of the two is better. Could you help me choose?
It would be interesting to see more budget 144hz mointors tested, like ViewSonic XG2401 for example. It seems really good for it's price
Its trash
Everytime I restart the screen the gain ist going back to 11 from 8. can I save it anyhow ?
hopefully asus vp249qgr was on your list for review
Can you review one of the most bought monitors of all time? The acer predator 144hz QHD IPS (and they had a TN version, comparing them would be TOP video)
Wtf is it qhd?
I'm still using my good old and trusty 24" TN Asus VG248QE after so many years as my primary display. Mainly because I haven't decided yet what should I buy next. I'm heavily undecided between 1440p @ 165-170hz and 1080p @ 240hz (both IPS, of course).
Would it be possible for you to compare this Zowie with my VG248QE? I'd be very curious how it stacks up, given the several years of tech gap.
I use to have vg248qe and I have the benq xl2411k now. Both are great but the only reason I got rid of my asus is because it didn’t work with ps5 120 hz and I got the benq because it’s the only tn that I know is compatible with the ps5 120hz. I prefered the asus but I don’t know witch one is better. I feel like I use to shoot str8er with a ps4 controller …. But both are really good !
@@sasuke2536 I got a new monitor a few months ago, LG 27GN800 (27" 1440p @ 144hz). I regret nothing. It's a much better experience on 1440p.
Ayyy Optimum Tech, reaver vandal squad! ❤️❤️
for people who uses BenQ ZOWIE XL2411K, does it have a 4:3 1280x960 resolution?
yes every monitor that is 1920x1080 has 1280:960
That review was just perfect... ^^
Is it just me who prefers bezels over think ones?
Hi Optimum! a few questions. Are you an arm or a wrist aimer? And why do you use the default skins inside Valorant? (except the glitch pop knife) Is that what you personally prefer and would you also recommend us to not use skins?
He’s clearly using a reaver vandal
@@Dr.Freeze oh yea, but in his other vids he wasn't so I'm curious why
IMO all PC gaming setups, no matter how low the budget, should include a 144 hz monitor.
Well that's just stupid, many want 240Hz 😉
@@lepari9986 I think he meant at least a 144hz
Ah yes a $200 144hz paired with a $300 pc
@@kryo1376 Yes, depending on the games you play.
@@DrearierSpider1 not everyone is trying to play apex or valorant, getting a better gpu might be better for some people
Dear Ali,
Consider reviewing the cousin of this, BenQ Mobiuz EX2510 which offers IPS panel, much better Aesthetics, Similar Performance, A-Sync(G and Free) all at only 20$ more than the price of this.
I don't really understand what screen tearing actually does so could someone explain to me?
Hey Optimum, this probably isn't the place for questions, but do you recommend MSI 1440p monitors? Thanks.
i was looking at one too, i wanted a 1440p 144hz+
I need your help! How do i get into the service menu to turn hdmi hpd back? When i turn my monitor on says mo cable connected
@Optimum Tech what would be your recommendation for media ? example: watching anime
"no free sync or g sync"
Well I was exited to see this review but without this than I am not even intrested in the monitor
for that price too? like wth? The Aoc 24g2 supports both.. and is cheaper.. great monitor.
@@crisnmaryfam7344 true , there is this asus monitor which is 199 usd and has both g sync and freesync and has higher refresh rate than this (165hz).
Keep in mind that this monitor is for players who play competitive games, and those who will sacrifice visuals for the best performance possible.
it depend one the use, but g-sync isn't good for e-sport, DyAc in the other hand is awesome. If ur looking for the best performance devise go for it !
This is advertised as having freesync, I don’t understand why?
hello I'm trying to pick which monitor I'll be getting: This monitor or the Benq Zowie XL2731, im having a hard time picking :)) I would like to have your opinion.
thanks for the content bro, you know the time response if you play 60hz ?
You gotta review the ex2510 it's insane
Is the BenQ MOBIUZ EX2510 better ?
Of course!
in valorant no
@@mematibas5266 why not ? It's ips and 144 hz
to me the features that differentiate an esports monitor and a normal gaming monitor are so small and the "esports" monitors come with many disadvantages that I would pick up a normal gaming monitor instead regardless of whether I played esports games exclusively or not. Great video though!
benq zowie monitors are the best imo (for competitive games)
this video helped me alot bro.😃
waiting for the day when we can have 240hz IPS panel with dyac
Can you turn it vertically? For something like programming?
I can’t wait till zowie does 360hz with .5 gtg and dyac plus and ama
If you are still looking for some cheap 144hz models for comparison, I tried quite a few of them 2 years ago and really liked the Viewsonic XG2401. It's TN with actually decent colors, but I think they have a IPS panel in the $200 range by now.
What is ips?
can this monitor rotate to portrait position?
yes
Compared to my XL2420T from 2013, would i notice improvements here or...?
When I first got this screen I found the colours a bit disappointing. Took a lot of tweaking to get it right.
Can you include BenQ Mobiuz EX2510 to the upcoming comparison?
@optimum tech yes please
no way I was going to purchase this soon and your video shows up...
@Optimum Tech Nice vid as alwyas! Maybe you could review BenQ Zowie XL2411P 144 hz monitor. Its similar to XL2411K, without DyAc. There arent many good in-depth reviews on this monitor so i thought if you could try do one. If you want of course.
I dont understand why would i need g sync or free sync
Can someone explain why everyone complains about that
BENQ is amazing currently using a XL2411P
great monitor
does it have a 4:3 1280x960 resolution?
@@zitility8210 Yes
@@BILLDOZERGAMING thank you so much for answering man!
Really looking forward to seeing your review of the ASUS PG279QM. Been rocking the OG PG279Q for around 5 years now and I can honestly say that it has been one of the best investments I've ever made.
should i get this or the XL2546K, when taking price into consideration?
2540K
Between a budget 240Hz monitor and this xl2411, which one do you recommend for Apex?
AOC 24G2U is an awesome budget 144hz IPS monitor Ali! Been using it since 2 years and it’s amazing for $190 bucks
3:53, u mean make sure games that are running at or above 140fps instead of 140hz..?
will by gtx1650 handle this monitor for valorant?
The Gain doesnt sit on 8 after you edit it. it goes back to default to 11
hey will u be doing the comparison to find the best 144hz cheap monitor (around £200) for overall gaming, media and work?
as i play on a ps5 i want to get a 120fps capable monitor with as fast response time as possible with at least 1080p while not losing colour accuracy or brightness as i would ideally like to use it for competitve fps games, media consumption and work
does anyone have a horizontal scanning lines at 144 hz ? (xl2411p) and does 240 hz monitors have this issue?
you make amazing reviews. would it be possible to review the new EX3415R ?
Hi Ali. i have a big issue with apex legends it puts a white screen and gives me engine error says yout gpu is phsically removed or have driver incompability with the game my gpu is a inno3d gtx 1660 ti, did it ever happened to you? please help me and i'm always hyped with your content!
The Alienware 240hz IPS is $299 USD on their website as of a few days ago. Not a big price jump for 144 -> to 240
there are more to it than just hz.
@@EnnTomi1 you would rather game on 144 compared to 240? For a $50 price difference
i have rx 580 4gb and i get like 100 - 110 fps in apex legends
So buying this monitor will still get me choppy screen?
What about xl2411p? Does it make any major difference in fps games ?
Around dyac ?
7:11 For which profile are those raccomanded setting?
i want to get a monitor without PWM. would you recommend this monitor? or something else?
Please, which I have to buy xl2411k or AOC 24G2U?
I have the Aoc24g2 and Love it. Got mine for 170 Usd couple months back after hardware unboxed reviews.
What about the sharpness??
What's the better at ms and input xl2546k or xl2411k at 120hz & 60hz ?
can you compare it to this - BenQ Mobiuz EX2710 27" they have almost the same price - Mobiuz Game Monitor Division
Hi can you make a video of what's the best gaming monitor for ps5 for response time
I currently game on a Benq senseye 3 upgraded to this monitor going to be a big upgrade for me.
This monitor MIGHT be OC to 1366x768@240hz if use the same panel as my XL2430T, worth to check it out!
did it work somehow?
I want it for just playing shooter games , do u recommend it ?
What’s your Apex Legends Rank? Your Aim is soooo smooth :D
Am thinking the next upgrade should be off 1080p to 1440p but I do love to see the monitor reviews.
1080p with high fps is still the best for competitive gaming.
Can you place the "blinders" from Zowie XL2546 to this monitor? It looks like this monitor has the screw spots like XL2546.
which is better between EX240N/EX240/XL2411K to playing cod on ps5?
I only play video games on monitors, my mains games are Fortnite and Rainbow six on series x 120fps statics.. this monitor is good for this?
Sorry for my english😅
@@guido3843 late to the party but while i think its a good monitor, it probably aint for you my guy. get something with an ips panel. 1440p if possible as thats what most people go for
I would love to see you review the mobiuz ex2510
Just ordered this. What keyboard is that btw?
dat valkyrie mid-air melee kill followed by a kill leader badge *purrfect*
Can you please do a review like this of the zowie xl2720? I am really into that monitor but i am really confused as well cuz i want these similar specs in a monitor with 27" 144hz.. and really need to know weather should i sacrifice my Preference of bigger sized screen for this smaller sized one.. Please make it happen..
How do u adjust the monitors height? When i try to push down it won’t move.
I have 2 monitors and one of them is IPS so should I buy this monitor because both of my monitors are 60 hz
