BenQ Zowie XL2566X Plus 25 Inch Gaming Monitor

The BenQ Zowie XL2566X Plus is a 25-inch FHD gaming monitor engineered specifically for competitive FPS players who demand the sharpest response at every frame. At its core is ZOWIE's newly developed Fast TN panel, a technology designed to deliver clearer, sharper outlines of moving targets compared to conventional display types — reducing distracting afterimages so you can focus on the game. The native 1920×1080 Full HD resolution aligns with the resolutions most commonly used at the competitive level, such as 1280×960 for CS2 and 1920×1080 for VALORANT, where pixel density and outline precision matter more than raw resolution count. The headline feature is the 400Hz refresh rate, achievable at full FHD resolution via DisplayPort 1.4, which provides an ultra-smooth motion rendering cadence for fast-paced titles. Console players can also connect via HDMI 2.0 for up to 1920×1080 at 120Hz on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. The monitor also supports Variable Refresh Rate when DyAc 2 is disabled, giving flexibility depending on your setup. DyAc 2 — ZOWIE's exclusive Dynamic Accuracy technology — uses a dual backlight hardware design to enhance motion clarity and blur reduction while maintaining softer light output that helps the eyes adapt during long sessions. The monitor is also flicker-free when DyAc 2 is switched off, further supporting extended play comfort. Black eQualizer lifts shadow detail in dark environments without overexposing brighter areas, while Color Vibrance lets you dial in saturation to suit preference or title. The included S Switch controller enables rapid the-fly profile changes without touching the OSD, and the XL Setting to Share feature now includes an Auto Game Mode that automatically adjusts colour settings based on screen content. Ergonomics have been upgraded with a new monitor stand that integrates industrial-grade bearings into the height adjustment mechanism for smoother, more consistent positioning. The stand supports 155mm of height travel, ±45° swivel, and -5° to 35° tilt. A removable shielding hood (included) helps limit peripheral light distraction. VESA 100×100mm mounting is supported for arm users. Built-in speakers are not included; external audio is required.
