Here's a list of things that you will probably ruin your afternoon trying to hook this monitor up: 1. Buy a displayport cable if you plan on using displayport, the cable that comes with this monitor doesn't work well. 2. If your other monitor isn't using displayport then this monitor will not work out of the box without installing drivers. The easy way around this is to make sure that all your monitors that you are using are on displayport (e.g. do not use dvi on another monitor and use displayport on this monitor, both must be displayport or you'll have to do extra configurations). 3. The default colors on this are HORRENDOUS, due to the fact the monitor is on a different 'mode' in the settings. To fix the colors, you have to change the Picture Mode to Standard and set the Custom Key to Picture Mode. Also, would Google on what to set the settings to as my... Read more

49 of 52 people found the following review helpful It's easy not to notice the difference a monitor makes until you try this one, January 24, 2017 By Spybreak (Portland, OR) This review is from: BenQ Zowie XL2411P 24 inch 144Hz Esports Gaming Monitor, 1080p, 1ms Response Time, Black Equalizer, Color Vibrance, Height Adjustable, Display Port, HDMI (Personal Computers) I picked this monitor out because I'd heard of the brand through watching eSports and I wanted to support a company that supported one of my interests. I expected to get a "normal monitor" experience and pay a slightly higher price for quality build. I was very wrong, the difference between gaming on this monitor and a regular one is night and day. Games feel entirely more "tactile" and real time. I am better able to place shots, see what's going on, and I feel like I have better control over my character. It is bright and crisp, colors are vivid, and the action is unlike anything I've played on before. I don't know enough about monitor stats to tell you what specifically about it is better, but I can tell you I noticed an *immediate* improvement in my in-game performance once I switched. I an doing more damage, landing more shots and better able to perceive what's going on. High definition streaming video appears crisper than it used to... Read more |
