ZOWIE XL2566X+ computer monitor 62.2 cm (24.5 inch) 1920 x 1080 pixels Full HD Black

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2566X+ 24.1" Full HD 1920 x 1080 is a 24.1-inch monitor designed for fast-paced gaming and professional tasks that benefit from high-frame-rate motion. Featuring a TN panel, Full HD resolution and a compact 16:9 flat screen, the XL2566X+ provides a balance of responsiveness and clarity. The panel’s typical brightness of 320 cd/m², combined with VESA mounting and height adjustment, supports integration into a variety of desktop setups. The monitor is finished in black and intended for users who prioritise speed and ergonomic positioning.

Advantages

The XL2566X+ delivers very low motion blur and quick pixel transitions due to its high refresh capability and fast response characteristics, which helps maintain clearer visuals during rapid on-screen movement. Its TN panel construction yields minimal input latency and consistent timing for competitive scenarios. Ergonomic height adjustment and VESA compatibility allow for flexible installation and improved viewing posture. The monitor’s typical brightness and 1000:1 contrast ratio provide adequate image visibility in standard indoor lighting conditions.

Suitable for

• Competitive and fast-paced esports and first-person shooter (FPS) gaming
• PC and console setups where a compact 24.1" Full HD display is preferred
• Users who require low response time and high refresh performance for reduced motion artefacts

When it may not be suitable

This monitor uses a TN panel, which prioritises speed over wide viewing angles and the color reproduction characteristics found in IPS or VA panels. If wide color gamut, deep blacks or very wide viewing angles are primary requirements, this model may not meet those needs.

How to use

Connect the monitor to your computer or console using the display cable type supported by your source device. Set the output resolution to 1920 x 1080 and, if available on your GPU and cable, enable the monitor’s higher refresh mode in the operating system or graphics driver settings to take advantage of its fast refresh capability. Use the on-screen display menu to adjust brightness, contrast and other image parameters to suit your environment. Adjust the monitor height and position to achieve a comfortable and ergonomically correct viewing angle.

What to consider before purchase

• Need for very low input lag and fast pixel response versus preference for wide viewing angles and colour accuracy
• Compatibility of graphics card and cables with high refresh rates to fully utilise the panel’s capabilities
• Space and mounting requirements for VESA installation or desk placement

Recommendations

For consistent performance in competitive play, keep graphics drivers updated and use quality cabling that supports the monitor’s refresh performance. Position the screen to minimise glare and set brightness to match ambient lighting for optimal visibility.
