The BenQ XL2566X+ is a 540Hz TN monitor that delivers unmatched motion clarity for competitive FPS gaming, with many users praising its DyAc 2 technology and responsiveness. However, it requires significant tweaking for color accuracy and has poor viewing angles, and some units suffer from hardware defects like screen glitches or white screens.

- Excellent DyAc 2 technology
- Very low input lag and response time
- Plug-and-play 540Hz/600Hz support
