    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

    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%.

    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+!

      @@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.

    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...

      @@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.

    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.

    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.
