A Monitor for Champions

BenQ XL2420Z Monitor
BenQ XL2420Z Monitor

The XL2420Z demonstrates BenQ’s true belief that “gaming is in the details”. It has been co-developed with Counter-Strike pro gaming legends to bring you a high-quality gaming monitor -- from the designs to the functions. With the precision and speed you would expect from a high-performance gaming monitor, you can have a vantage point over your opponents in all your game play.

Motion Blur Reduction for Extra Clarity

BenQ’s Motion Blur Reductions technology enhances an ultra-smooth, free-of-blur gaming experience, particularly for action-packed FPS games where every millisecond counts. With Motion Blur Reduction, gamers no longer suffer from time and gaming comfort lost to poor vision quality created by motion blur and lagging. Instead, they have everything to gain with more reaction time advantage on their side to achieve ultimately a flawless victory.

Low Blue Light as Eye Safety Precautionary Measure

Practice long hours with clear, comfortable vision or compete with top-notch vision condition with BenQ’s Low Blue Light. The blue spectrum light, which is produced by regular computer screen, is a critical cause of eye damage, eyestrain, headaches and sleeping disorders. With the offering of various adjustable low blue light levels, gamers can better protect their eyes. So there would be no need for yellow tinted eyeglasses for additional eye protection, and gameplay can be clear, comfortable and hassle-free.

The Collaboration

Following the widespread success of the first generation XL series, BenQ welcomed back legendary Counter-strike gamers to bring the XL series to new heights. As the gamers offered insider perspectives based on their many years of gaming, BenQ R&D champions utilises their expertise in the display product field to recreate each feature and function, transforming them into powerful gaming tools to give professional gamers a competitive edge to win.

The Black eQualizer for Total Visibility

Poor visibility in dark scenes can cost even the most skillful gamers their game. The Black eQualizer colour engine technology is designed to offer an unprecedented level of control and visibility. Dark scenes are brightened without over-exposing the bright areas to preserve vital details, enabling gamers to spot their enemies easily in critical combat and react quickly in any situation.

Display Pilot for Onscreen Navigation

The Display Pilot software provides the platform for users to make on screen display adjustments and the convenience of direct access to the Game Mode Loader site for downloading and installing the pre-set display settings of their favourite game or professional gamers screen instantly.

Play like a Pro with FPS Mode

    Overall this monitor exceeded most of my expectations as i was a non believer that 120hz made any difference to gameplay. This monitor has made playing games far more enjoyable as i can play more hours on end without being tired. Not having Motion Blur has made this monitor amazing to play on, much much better than my old one. So are there any bad points, well there are but they have no impact on the game as for me the colours really were lacking, however if you have a Nvidia card you can turn vibrancy all the way up to 100% and immediately there is a huge difference. Also you will need to tweak the settings as they do make for better colours. I would have liked for a much better yellow, however i cant complain as this has been a excellent upgrade. If however you were looking for a gaming monitor but you wanted editing, or to view movies i might suggest you have a second mmonitor for that as the quality of videos is good but there is a noticeable difference after a few minutes but this was purely for gaming so i am happy with my purchase, and hopefully it will last me a few years like my old one :) (no hickups so far)

    Style Name: 2 HDMI, S-Switch & DPSize Name: 27" Verified Purchase
    My monitor came with Version 2 firmware

    Used this monitor for less than a month and even though it is a very good monitor i had to return it.

    The positives:

    1)The best stand for any screen i have ever used. You can put it in so many different positions. The base of the stand is quite deep so make sure you have a desk which is quite deep also. Otherwise it will be right in your face.
    2)The color is quite good for a TN panel once you have calibrated it (there are a few sites with calibration settings)
    3)Response time is excellent. I played battlefield 4 as soon as i got it and it instantly felt more responsive to my old monitor.
    4)Lots of different picture options and settings.
    5)The remote control feature to change settings is very handy
    6)Lots of input options
    7)This is a 27inch 1080p monitor some people are a loss of detail but i found this monitor to have plenty of detail in the picture.
    8)144hz makes a big difference when when playing FPS games just make your you have a graphics card that can contantly keeps those numbers or its a waste of money.

    The Negatives:
    1)When playing fifa there is obvious trailing/overshooting when the camera sweeps across the pitch.
    2)Even though i have the version 2 firmware and using the blur buster software i found that it caused way to many artifacts and weird image issues. The blur reduction feature for me was kind of useless and i just kept it off with all games.
    4)Viewing angles aren't great but expected with a TN panel
    5)The touch buttons sometimes dont respond and can be frustrating. You cannot turn the monitor on using the remote control
    6)Some screen uniformity. Which is apparent when watching dark movies.

    I give this screen 5 stars because im coming from an old LG Monitor with just a vga input which was pretty good about 5 years ago.
    Now I have a good pc setup this monitor just tops it all off for me now, such a happy person right now lol
    the quality of everything is so good, screen quality is sharp and crystal clear. Response time is brilliant too I noticed it straight away in battlefield campaign and I also like the buttons on the side to change screen profiles etc. good job benq will buy from this company again without a doubt.

    Really cannot believe how good this thing actually is. If you've got a decent gfx card (I have a GTX780) it's going to be worth every penny, 144hz topline (most monitors are 59/60hz)
    I used to think the white background on webpages such as this one for example were white, the thing is when you see webpages on this thing then you really will know what white is. Superb range of resolutions for gaming and no lag at all. Got a proper gfx card? Get one of these. I spent ages deciding and it's superb knowing that being fussy was worth it.

    I was originally after a 27-29" monitor, but the price hike is massive for a quality monitor in that range. This is an affordable, excellent and very versatile monitor, and I'm happy with the compromise I made.

    I have my PC plugged via dvi, both Xbox 360 and Xbone plugged in via hdmi slots, and there's stll the vga available if needed, so no cable swapping required.

    I haven't really fiddled with the varied settings, apart from using the many pre sets dependant on what I'm doing, but they are all good, great for my aging eyes.

    No eye strain after prolonged viewing or gaming sessions, and the lack of any flickering (I'm very sensitive to it), is great too.

    I've now mounted the monitor on the wall, but the stand was very sturdy, though height adjustment would have been nice.

    The speakers are adequate for basic use, but are now redundant as my surround sound has taken over.

    Utoob has a few helpful setup clips from people who seem to know their stuff, and if this monitor is good enough for pro gamers, it's good enough for a ropey old git like me.

    Worth a punt.
