Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- For its price, this Zowie XL2546X (240Hz) is a real wholesome Esports Monitor that most people who are into competitive gaming would be happy with the performance and motion clarity.
About this Review
I do not have a professional background in electronics engineering and I don't want to read you the instruction manual so here's to share my experience with this Esports gaming monitor from Zowie.
Perhaps this would be more relatable from one gamer to another 😊
Coming from an AW3423DWF, I am very impressed with what Zowie has done with the XL2546X for gaming. and... you can probably guess what I was eating while designing the thumbnail 😅
*This is NOT a technical review.
I want to keep my reviews focused on the topic and avoid comparing them against competitor products. Comparisons will be made in separate content!

You mentioned "coming from an OLED", but you haven't really compared the motion clarity. Every review so far says OLED is better/clearer compared to Zowie with dyac off and equal or slightly worse compared to dyac on but many people experience headaches with that. So, obviously price wise, Zowie is the way even without dyac, otherwise OLED. Would you agree @Wasabi?
With Dyac on OLED is not going to compare, there's a big difference between strobbed and unstrobbed. With Dyac off, 240hz OLED is going to have an obvious advantage.
@@PrimH3DA I guess so... but since I'm in the market for either I decided to go for zowie even without dyac. Why? Because I work on the pc all day and by the time I have time to game my eyes are already very tired and there are just too many reports of people having headaches from pwm flickering that oleds do, especially new 1440 360hz ones. The color fringing on the crosshair doesn't help either.
even when u buy a 360hz oled monitor it will still be a bit worse than a 240hz monitor with dyac on, dyac technology is op and when we get like 780hz monitors or something like that thay will be the time that oleds will be ALMOST completely equal to any monitor with dyac, its just a pick and choose at this point do you want brighter monitor with smoother competitive motion or good colors and contrast? personally even thouhg im a comptitive guy even if i was playing on a tournament i would go for an oled especially nowawayds since oled are improving so much especially brightness wise, i just cant live without great colors it feels soulless
I just bought the 2566k and its very good for fps for sure. I dont get headache with Dyac on but recognize only maybe 10% more clarity with it on. But I like how bright it is and clear to look at if you focus on ur crosshair for example.
Have you owned a comparable monitor? Iam trying to find a monitor that has 240Hz and is sharp, not as sharp as the zowiembut somewhere near that. Otherwise I would have to buy the xl2566k like you, which is a older zowie model.
@@17_jager37 I had an Alienware before, the panel had 240hz but if you go for the 360hz Variant it should be close to it for sharpness. Even wqhd Panels getting pretty cheap These days. If you can get a good Deal on them. It would be a better choice overall.
@@17_jager37 they dont will have the Dyac Feature or some good like that but if you dont mind that Feature at All go for a better Deal on some wqhd 240 or fullhd 360 Hz. LG, Alienware, Dell or Acer use good Panels today. Ktc is a more unknown Brand but making good deals if you dont mind trying it.
just go for wqhd 240hz or full hd 360hz most panels can match the sharpness but not the clarity in shooters but that doesnt made them worse. You can find good Monitors for cheap but dont buy to cheap LG,Dell,Alienware and maybe Viewsonic are good. A Highlight could be a Acer Monitor you can buy them cheaper with default skin, buttons and stands but the good panel like the gaming lineup, if you have a monitor stand already.
@@17_jager37 For Acer it could be XV272UKF & XV252QF that you can look for.
I understand its for casuals, but the review was very poor because it didn't provide any real examples or explanations, or direct comparison. I know it's supposed to be your experience, but for the viewer there's no way to contextualize it. Also casuals don't really buy esports monitors. I'm sorry, but even without special tools and such you can still make a much more informative review. I'm afraid this is not helpful for me.
Yea, agree, hard to find good review on xl2546x rn 😕
It's a personal review not a technical breakdown and comparison, there are differences in that content.
I thought the review was helpful, sometimes it’s nice to just hear an opinion
I think this model has new panel wich uses native 8bit with no frc No panel before used that only asus 540hZ tn so I think is better
This monitor is $550 in my region. The 2546K costs much less than X variant. I'm planning to get one for myself. Great review!
but i guess the X variant is better with dyac 2 or should be and if they fine tuned the colors like on mine it should be the better buy.
@@zDenniihow much better is the X? The K was already good and is so much cheaper
You should check out the BenQ Ex270qm (I think it’s the best 1440%0 240hz on the market)
I guess it could be tuned to highlight characters as well as possible. Its not for me but i can see it could have a specific market.
Can you do 60-120-144hz too via Windows 10's Screen Settings?
Also, every type of monitor panel is a "Pick your poison" world. IPS might have better colors but suffers mostly from backlight bleed and slight IPS glow wich can be VERY distracting on dark rooms to play dark games (Hello!) and VA panels' smearing is a huge NO.
Sure OLED rocks but....Not everyone has the money to get one and then suffer from BURN IN RISK
I heard Dyac only works 100+hz. Even works on console 100+hz
what monitor light bar is this?
Hello Brother,Xl2566k vs xl2546x which one is better 👍🫶❤
what setting is best gamer mode preset for Overwatch2, you only mentioned apex val and cs
Personally i prefer an Oled and downgrade the resolution while gaming. This is because though i enjoy my R6 Siege gaming with my mates, the majority of my time on the computer is spent doing everything Other than gaming. I do however want to maximise how well i play so will be buying a 240+Hz Oled monitor and fast mouse and mousepad which ones are yet to be decided.though i have just ordered the Ninjutso Sora V2 mouse only to find out, without the yet to be released 8,000Hz donge, it only runs at 1,000Hz. Given the most recent mouse prior to this preorder mouse ran at up to 4,000Hz i had expected the latest version to come with a 4k dongle but No, just 1K. I wouldn't have ordered it.
There are barely any reviews in english yet online and you really blew it. So many open questions and really ZERO actual comparisons. A 1080p TN panel will only get bought by a certain kind of ppl in 2024 - and any of them expects more than this
Finally an English review
hello, great review (quality of the videos insane) even it's the same as the other youtubers, i was wondering when i play valorant if i dont out the monitor near my face i dont see people at long range for example when you are on ascend map and you are in pizza aiming for the box in the mid i dont see clearly the head so i thought if i have a 1440p 240hz monitor could i see it better or not if i dont put my screen near my head thanks you for reading and for your answer and i wish you a great day.
*"It's not the kind of screen you would watch movies on together with your family and really it's not for watching Avatar in 4k HDR!"* 😄 I love the humor! (and also just bought 1)
content quality is amazing
Can you drop a gameplay video on this monitor
u made mistake.. 360hz monitor is better OLED.....
can u find 25inch 360hz 1080p oled ?
@@splitchy559 can u find ur brain ? Oled is better vs TN 27 inch is better with gaming u can resize to 24inch .
Zowie monitors are great, but unfortunately I can not use it cause it hurts my eyes.
After using 240hz and 360hz I ended up at doctors.
why ? is it beacuse is tn?
@@bosiorne2292probably from dyac, the blacklight strobing
Motion sickness? Headache? Eyes strain?
Troll comment lol how would 240hz hurt your eyes compared to 30/60hz
Can you please show more of the monitor next time as this 15min video you only see it for maybe 1 min lol most of your videos are the same. Very bad review as everything you say we already know.
Can you do a video on call of duty to see how it looks like
the is cost of whole mid range Gaming pc 😅😂🤣
Way overpriced. I have a Samsung monitor that is 240hz 1080p 27 inch that costed me $200 last year. $500 for a 1080p monitor in 2024 is absolutely ridiculous.
Well, do tell the model and panel type...
A quality benq has been 400 or 500 dollars for years and years. So have 1440p 27 inch monitors, the proper resolution for a 27 inch monitors.
1080p 27 inch is dogshit
Meh, monitors with ULMB is better
fuck no
nice!
Trash monitor for expensive price .
? tf
TN JUST IS TN= SHIT!..360HZ SAME! LETS TO BUY OLED
aw hell nah
sorry boys oled gaming monitors takes the win
Nah
This video is a joke right?
