The BenQ Zowie XL2540 is a 25" monitor that offers sub-par performance in the day to day tasks while truly shining in the eSports field. In everyday use, it can not compete with the best monitors of its price range in terms of overall picture quality or functionality. While it does offer a fair native contrast ratio and high brightness, the images look sort of flat which is a common limitation for a TN panel. Its color accuracy is also quite low. Though, when it comes to the fast-paced, competitive gaming, the XL2540 offers unparalleled responsiveness and sharpness of image thanks to its lightning-fast 240Hz panel and low input lag.
