Boasting a QHD resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms GTG response time and VESA Standard Adaptive-Sync technology, this all-new flagship gives you the finest, smoothest and fastest display performance for competitive gameplay. Fast response time of 1ms GTG means speed without the smear for an enhanced gaming experience.

BenQ's new Motion Blur Reduction technology further enhances an ultra-smooth, free-of-blur gaming experience. It is absolutely vital that the XL2730Z give you the flexibility you need to get the color performance you seek. This is why BenQ built into the monitor 20 levels of Color Vibrancy setting to meet gamers' specific viewing requirements and preferences for all types of gameplay. The newly improved Black equalizer Dynamic color engine technology takes visibility optimization to a whole new level with automatic brightness adjustments. The XL2730Z is able to detect the input source and automatically fine-tune the amount of brightness enhancement within the range of the brightness level selected by the user. The adjustable height stand is now scaled with 14 height levels tractable by a moving marker. The S Switch Arc is an external controller that comes with preset buttons that can be customized with personal display settings for gaming, work or entertainment use. The Auto Game Mode enables the XL2730Z to detect the genre of the game being played and switch the display setting to the corresponding game mode automatically. They can also share their own game modes with everyone via cloud storage or social media platforms. This innovative feature allows gaming communities to share, collaborate and bond freely with ease.

5.0 out of 5 starsAS GOOD AS G-SYNC -Perfect after some simple Calibration - THIS compared to AOC, Asus, cer and Qnix!
By SSF on April 22, 2015
Style Name: BenQSize: 27" S Switch Verified Purchase
I just want to say that ordering a monitor like this is nerve racking when going through Amazon.

But my BenQ XL2720Z arrived in perfect condition, well packed and zero dead pixels. I am extremely happy with my monitor and it is honestly *ZERO DIFFERENCE* in performance than my G-Sync monitor. I do have an EVGAQ GTX 980 Superclocked ACX 2.0 on a monster rig.

I drove myself nuts comparing specs between Acer, AOC, Qnix, Asus and BenQ. Don't do what I did for a month and simply pull the trigger on this monitor. You will NOT regret it!

The color for a TN monitor is really quite exceptional. Anyone who wonders about color should see this monitor next to the Acer XB270H Abprz (with G-Sync) and you will know for certain you made the right purchase. Yes, the shades are lightr and not as rich as an IPS but for this level of depth for a TN minotir and the exceptional frame rates, you would be silly to pass on this one.

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect after calibration, a steal for $250!
By Cameron on February 12, 2015
Style Name: BenQSize: 24" Verified Purchase
First off, let me just say that this monitor was almost sent back upon plugging it in because for some reason the default "FPS1" profile was selected and had terrible color, just absolutely horrendous. Do not let this fool you, however, the perfect settings are in there somewhere! With the disclaimer out of the way, on to the review!

Pros:

1. After calibration and applying ICC profiles, the screen looks amazing even at 144hz, which is known to ruin color accuracy. Other than viewing angles, this monitor has deeper blacks and less distortion than my IPS display right next to it, granted it is a cheaper IPS from a couple years ago, but the point still stands. Compared to other TN panels, this one is by far the best I have experienced color wise, and while the viewing angles don't compare to IPS panels it is leagues ahead of comparably priced TN panels. Don't let these other reviews fool you, it took me all of about 10 minutes to find the right settings and apply the ICC profile, not worth even taking half an egg off.

http://www.digitalversus.com/lcd-monitor/xl2411z-p17975/test.html I used this link to get my colors just right and to get the ICC profile to work. Although I found that setting the Blue to 90 made things just a tad yellow for my taste, so I left it at 95.

2. This monitor uses the same panel and technology as its big brother the 2420G. The 2420G is twice the price of this monitor, and the only real difference is that the 2420G has G-sync. So for $250 you are essentially getting a $600 monitor without G-sync, what a steal!

3. The profiles on this monitor are very handy for switching between different games I play.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars144hz is a worthy upgrade
By John Lee on July 30, 2015
Style Name: BenQSize: 27" S Switch Verified Purchase
I've only had 60hz monitors, never really cared for 144hz because of people saying there is no difference. This BenQ monitor is awesome, I can tell a big difference when playing CS:GO and even normal desktop use. Everything is more fluid and smooth. Colors are great. One of the best upgrades for FPS gaming in my opinion.

Only thing I don't like is the touch buttons, sometimes they are unresponsive, I have to switch fingers sometimes to make it work lol.

I will never go back to 60hz.

5.0 out of 5 starsEye Care
By Jesse Semph on May 7, 2014
Style Name: BenQSize: 27" S Switch Verified Purchase
Most LED monitors hurt my eyes. BenQ uses "low blue light technology" which seems to treat my eyes well. Indeed, I can play for hours with NO eye fatigue. Therefore, BenQ gets 5 stars from me for eye care alone. I had Asus monitors and their colors are amazing, yet they hurt my eyes a lot after a short period of time.

4.0 out of 5 starsBe the first to review? Sure, why not!
By MB on April 23, 2014
Style Name: BenQSize: 24"
There aren't many reviews of this monitor online, but I still took the leap and purchased it straight from BenQ about 2 weeks ago. I will do my best with this review and you can figure out whether this is for you. My brother uses a Dell U2412M monitor right next to me, and it is priced nearly the same, so it will be an excellent comparison. I will also mention its slightly "bigger" brother, the XL2420Z. Note the quotation marks. I am not using 3d mode because I have an AMD card.

First thing is first. EVERY XL2411Z RELEASED HAS V2 FIRMWARE, CONFIRMED BY BENQ CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE CONTACTED MYSELF. YOU DO NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING V1 UNLIKE THE OTHER MODELS. More on what benefits V2 Firmware brings later.

Also, this monitor has BLUR Reduction which is compatible with AMD cards, and better than lightboost!

Initial Impressions:

Unboxing is fairly easy. Comes with all the basic amenities including Power Cable, Dual-DVI, and even VGA(except I would try and avoid this one). I am currently using the Dual-DVI and have it connected to a AMD r9 290.

Setting it up was fairly simple, a monkey can do it. No offense to monkeys, I mean I really don't mean to offend you. Please don't take it the wrong way.

Colors out of the box are pretty atrocious, but there is a big note on it that clearly states that it is set to a specific setting. There are color ICC profiles(and instructions) online at a specific pc monitor review site for 100, 120, and 144hz modes(search for XL2420Z review, it uses the same panel). Unfortunately there is none for 60hz, but I'm sure someone will whip something up. After applying the ICC profiles, the colors look a LOT better, However(to nobodies surprise) my brother's U2412M looks at least 3.Read more ›
