BenQ ZOWIE XL2586X+ 24.1" Black 2025
The 600Hz refresh rate with DyAc 2 motion technology delivers CRT-like motion clarity for competitive shooters, while the 24.1-inch TN panel prioritizes raw speed over visual fidelity. Automatic color switching and included side shields help maintain focus during tournament play, though the 320-nit brightness and 1080p resolution limit its versatility. This monitor is best for esports competitors in titles like Valorant or CS2 who need the absolute lowest motion blur and will sacrifice image quality for every millisecond of advantage.
