About this deal

BenQ has never been one for look-at-me styling, and the XL2411P follows that theme. It could easily be mistaken for an enterprise monitor and is certainly qualified for that purpose. One unique element is the small tab on the bottom right that leads the user to the control buttons underneath. A small LED shines orange in standby mode and green when the power’s on. Next up is colour accuracy. We have decent but not great results throughout, with that teal shade proving troublesome once again. The average of 2.48 is not quite as good as the more high-end XL2540 we tested earlier this month, but it’s still decent for a TN-panel monitor.

First up are colour gamuts; the monitor hits 98% of sRGB, 72% of NTSC and 76% of AdobeRGB. This is great but not outstanding for a TN-panel monitor, and combined with good colour accuracy means that the monitor can be used for non-critical photography and video work. Let’s take a look at our benchmarks now, to get a more quantifiable idea of the monitor’s quality. Benchmarks

Wrapping up

Jacen preferred the sturdier base of the XL2411P over the base of his monitor, an MSI Optic G24C. Trevor liked the UI of the XL2411P as well as its rich set of features and options; he found changing the settings with the control keys to be easier on the BenQ than with his monitor, an AOC G2460P. Both of these guys, however, echoed my observations that the color on the XL2411P was worse; they spent more time on the BenQ adjusting the settings than they did on their own monitors, though in the end they were happy with their settings. Here are the settings that Trevor uses, if you need something to get you started:

The XL2411P has a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The higher the refresh rate, the more images per second, the smoother the game appears to be. 60 Hz is fine for ordinary activities; 144 Hz is great for gaming, especially for FPSs; and 240 Hz is for those at highest levels of competitive gaming. We used the gamma-3 setting, which on this occasion corresponded to a display gamma of 1.9. The gray ramp is relatively even, too. Another significant improvement on the BenQ XL2411K is its connectivity configuration, which now includes more video inputs. On the panel, there are DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 slots, as well as two HDMI 1.4 slots. In comparison, the original XL2411 only offered HDMI 1.4 and DVI-DL, with only the latter supporting 144Hz operation. Luminance uniformity is a little worse but still decent, with the bottom right quadrant appearing a little dimmer (~12%) than its contemporaries. BenQ’s Zowie Esports Gaming Model introduces a revamped iteration of their renowned XL2411P esports dedicated display. The 24-inch TN panel offers a 1920 x 1080 Full HD resolution, a refresh rate of 144Hz, and a response time of 1ms and DyAc technology. It is the most economical model in ZOWIE’s XL-K series.If you’re looking to get into the fast-paced world of competitive FPS video games, or if you want to upgrade your current monitor without breaking the bank, then I think you should take a hard look at the ZOWIE XL2411P monitor. It may not be the most attractive monitor on the outside, but it’s got it where it counts, a rich set of features that are going to help you take your game to the next level. Just keep in mind that you will have to spend some extra time configuring this monitor. I think, however, that you will find it to be worth the time you spend. Game on! The BenQ XL2411K only provides 98% sRGB coverage, which is enough for its primary purpose of competitive gaming. However, its accuracy is excellent because the deltaE average is only 0.31, which is only seen on consumer displays. It appears balanced straight out of the box, so you only need to adjust a few settings like brightness before using it.

All in all, a very standard monitor that doesn’t really push the boat out when it comes to design – you could easily use this monitor in an office environment without turning heads. Testing Our overall gaming experience with the XL2411P was a positive one, but we’d rather see FreeSync support than be forced to resort to a blur reduction feature for smooth motion. The reduction in brightness may be an issue for some users, as it's limited to 180 nits peak. But turning it on created a tad more color saturation, making the monitor look a little better.The final step in setting up the monitor was to set the refresh rate. On Windows 10, I found this setting by going to: The XL2411P is the first gaming monitor we’ve reviewed in a long time that doesn’t support G-Sync or FreeSync, and we wondered if it would be missed. The short answer is not as much as you’d think. It’s also worth noting that the BenQ XL2411K works wonderfully with the 120Hz modes on the Xbox Series X and PS5. To enable it, you must fine-tune a few options on your console, and we know that many owners are still unaware of this. BenQ has you covered, as they have already released instructions in this link. We didn’t notice any significant display lag during our testing. Motion blur is controlled with a setting called AMA, which stands for Advanced Motion Accelerator. As with most BenQ monitors, we found that the middle AMA setting, ‘high’, produced better results than ‘off’ or ‘premium’. Premium resulted in some visible overshoot in some tests, while off had some noticeable motion blur.
