Product Description

A Monitor for Champions

The XL2720Z 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 design 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 Throughout the Game

BenQ’s Motion Blur Reduction technology further enhances an ultra-smooth, free-of-blur gaming experience, particularly for action-packed FPS games where every millisecond count. 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 screens, 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.

Gaming Refresh Rate Optimisation Management

BenQ provides more than just the refresh rate feature for different resolutions to reach more levels of optimal refresh rates (100/120/144Hz), with Gaming Refresh Rate Optimisation Management, which aims to bring users the incomparable gaming performance. With the gamer driven Gaming Refresh rate Optimisation Management that collaborates with Display Mode and Smart Scaling strengths, BenQ offers a total refresh rate solution for gaming enthusiasts.

Gaming Comfort Flicker-free Technology

Developed in collaboration with pro gamers, the XL2720Z has been upgraded to eliminate flickering at all brightness levels. This effectively reduces eye fatigue and elevates gaming performance through extreme visual comfort for even the most hardcore gamers enrolling long hours in action. Armed with the Gaming-comfort Flicker-free Technology, the BenQ Gaming Monitor is an epic weapon over your ultimate rivals.

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 Gives You 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.

Play like a Pro with the FPS Mode

Meet your secret winning strategy. The FPS Mode was co-developed with gaming legends to let you tap into the fundamental insights of pro gamers and view the game how a gaming legend would see it. This out of the box pre-set automatically adjusts your monitor calibrations to provide you with optimal brightness, contrast, sharpness and colour tint. Being able to spot your enemies and track their move carefully in every situation puts you at an advantage over your opponents.

There are two variations to this mode: the FPS1 mode is designed to configure and optimise the display for Counter Strike 1.6 and the FPS2 mode for Counter Strike Source as recommended by BenQ.

At just shy of four hundred pounds this monitor is pricey. Its also big and when taking it out of the box I was quite surprised at how heavy the base was. However once you put it together and I recommend looking at the full guide on the disc or online not the quick start guide for this (quick start guide was confusing), it becomes apparent that the movement range of the stand is superior because of the weighty and solid construction. The whole monitor exudes quality and feels well engineered and the cable tidy hole in the middle of the upright is a nice touch. On turning it on for the first time my eyes were blinded by a way too bright picture that didn't look to great and the colours were a bit fuzzy . The shipped default settings will leave you with a headache however persevere and head over to TFT central for tips on calibrating this beast. Once calibrated this monitors true colours shine through and the picture is superb ! The best 1080p picture I've ever seen on any TN panel ! I bought this for gaming, light browsing and a little bit of movie / photo editing. I suffer from eye strain from spending allot of hours staring at a monitor screen. Well with its S-switch, a very nifty feature, and three savable profiles it was easy to go from playing an mmo or fps at full throttle to say web browsing at the touch of a button or two ! Very slick although you do need to spend some time calibrating your preferred settings or NOT ! If you can't be bothered with all that technical stuff it has a handy software feature that allows you to download and install other pro-gamer profiles from some of the best gamers out there in the esports leagues. its all there under the hood ! I am running it at the full 144mhz with low blue light dialed in at 6 and this has eliminated my eye strain. My eyes have never been happier staring at a 1080p screen for so long.
The motion blur reduction feature has caused a little controversy again TFT central sum it up quite nicely in their review. Blur busters post a solution for those who must have the very best blur reduction for their games. V2 firmware is king so if you intend to purchase this monitor purely on the grounds of having one of the best blur reduction features out there you need to shop smart and go for an XL2720z with v2 firmware or be prepared to follow blur busters upgrade guide if you have v1 firmware.

If your a gamer like me who wants a good picture quality and suffers a little from eye strain this is the monitor for you !

I just got this yesterday.
Everyone is reviewing the screen, give me a minute to review the rest of the monitor: -
Assembly was the easiest I've ever come across (I worked in a TV shop for 5 years). There are no screws or bolts in the box; the stand clicks into the foot and you turn a screw in the bottom of the foot to secure it, then the screen just clicks into the stand. Done.

I haven't bought a monitor in years but this is the first one I've seen with a handle for carrying it. It also has a hook for your headphones at the back.

The buttons you see on the foot are separate and are very useful for navigating through the menu. It stays connected to the foot through magnets, it can "click" into either side of the foot if you're left or right handed.

Moving the screen up and down is easy and smooth, although I tend to grab it at the bottom corners to do this which means I press the touch sensitive buttons at the side so the menu pops up. So far I've only moved it to show other people so this hasn't annoyed me yet. I haven't bothered rotating it as I have no interest in ever doing that.

It comes with a cover to put over the monitor when you're not using it. It's a nice leathery-plastic material. It also came with a power lead, VGA cable, DVI cable, a printer cable (not too sure yet why the monitor has a printer connection), the lead that goes from the buttons on the foot to the back of the monitor and a CD+Manual that I'm never going to look at.

As for the screen; the other reviews are correct, it is brilliant for gaming.

Dedico mucho de mi tiempo libre a jugar a los videojuegos y este monitor me permite hacerlo con una calidad impresionante. Tengo conectado mi ordenador, mi Nintendo Switch y la Xbox One...y no podría estar más contento. La pantalla LED y el Refresh Rate de 144HZ (en PC) crean unas imagines espectaculares. Juegos de consola también se ven muy bien. También tiene funciones para jugar a juegos y ver peliculas en 3D (viene con un par de gafas). El frame se puede ajustar a la altura que desees con facilidad y tiene un gancho en la parte de atrás para colgar tus auriculares (he adjuntado una foto). Lo mejor de esta pantalla es la "S Switch"(también he adjuntado una foto). Este cachivache permite acceder a ajustes predeterminados con facilidad además de poder programar tus propios ajustes...muy útil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Guter Allrounder und Gamingmonitor
Reviewed in Germany on 21 September 2016
Style Name: BenQVerified Purchase
Ich benötigte für Office, Bildbearbeitung und Gaming einen neuen und größeren Monitor.

Zunächst versuchte ich es mit einem ASUS mit IPS-Panel, aber dessen Bleeding war stark, die Ausleuchtung und Blickwinkelstabilität schlecht, die Farbdarstellung grell und "quietschig", die Verarbeitung mittelmäßig - evtl. ein "Montagsgerät".
Dann bestellte ich mir einen aktuellen Samsung mit IPS, dessen Verarbeitung und Blickwinkelstabilität zwar tadellos, aber dessen Bleeding auch unerfreulich war. Die Farben wirkten natürlich, aber deutlich zu blaß. Darüber hinaus war selbst die maximale Helligkeit zu dunkel, um den Monitor bei hellerem Tageslicht befriedigend nutzen zu können.
Beide Geräte boten darüber hinaus nur relativ wenig individuelle Einstellmöglichkeiten für Bildqualität und Farbdarstellung, so daß ich meine Vorstellungen damit nicht umsetzen konnte.
Nach beiden Retouren - mein Dank gilt dabei wieder einmal Amazons schneller Abwicklung - verabschiedete ich mich von IPS und suchte im etwas höherpreisigen Segment nach einem TN-Panel, weil ich bisher mit TN sehr zufrieden war.

Zahlreiche Recherchen, Rezensionen, Videos und Begutachtungen vergleichbarer Monitortypen vor Ort brachten mich auf den BenQ XL2720Z, der für mich bisher ein Volltreffer ist.

- Der Monitor wird gut verpackt und mit erfreulich viel Zubehör geliefert. Die Montage ist sowohl auf dem Ständer als auch mit VESA 100x100 sehr einfach und komfortabel. Der Monitorständer läßt sich schnell wieder mit einem Klick entfernen, was vor allem LAN-Party-Besucher freuen dürfte.

- Wertigkeit und Verarbeitung sind augenscheinlich sehr gut, allerdings reagieren die Lichtsensoren am Monitorrand bei mir nur sehr schlecht auf Berührungen, so daß ich Menüfunktionen fast zwingend mit dem mitgelieferten Einstellgerät vornehmen muß. Dieses wiederum funktioniert hervorragend und schnell. Das EIZO-Testprogamm liefert alles in allem gute Ergebnisse, und der Monitor hat bisher weder Pixelfehler noch sonstige offensichtliche Qualitätsmängel. Ich bin in diesem Zusammenhang auch froh, ein Gerät mit Firmware V5 bekommen zu haben.

- Es gibt zahlreiche Presets und Einstellmöglichkeiten, so daß es mit etwas Geduld, Begutachtung und Internetrecherche kein Problem ist, die Darstellung weitgehend Farbgenau und nach eigenen Wünschen zu gestalten. Helligkeit, Kontrast, Schwarz- und Weißwerte, Gamma/BlackEquilizer sowie die Farbgewichte sind leicht zu verändern, so daß ich nun ein scharfes, kristallklares Bild mit gutem Weiß, sattem Schwarz und strahlenden, intensiven Farben habe. Mittels Einstellgerät kann man außerdem sehr schnell drei individuell speicherbare Einstellungen aufrufen, um z.B. Filmmodus, Spielmodus und Bildbearbeitung jeweils passend anwählen zu können.
Meine allgemeinen Einstellungen im Moment: FPS1, Helligkeit 50, Kontrast 50 (oder 42), LowBlueLight 0, BlackEquilizer 6 (oder 8), BlurReduction Aus, Farben R100/G98/B96, AMA Hoch, Sofortmodus Ein, Schärfe 5.
Im Modus Standard u.a. für Bildbearbeitung kann man mal Helligkeit 55, Kontrast 42, Gamma 3-4 versuchen. Die Farben wirken dann blasser, aber meinen Beobachtungen nach auch etwas natürlicher, wenn ich sie u.a. mit professionellen Bildausdrucken vergleiche.

- Die Ausleuchtung möchte ich als gut bezeichnen. Ich habe zwar nur den optischen Test im dunklen Raum gemacht, aber die beiden (zugegeben deutlich günstigeren) IPS-Geräte standen dabei weit hinter diesem TN-Monitor zurück. Es gibt einen leichten Lichthof in der rechten Ecke, aber der ist minimal und nicht sehr stark. Dafür ist die Helligkeit des Monitors insgesamt so gut, daß ich selbst bei Sonnenlicht auf dem Bildschirm noch gut arbeiten kann, obwohl ich die Helligkeit von 100 auf 50 reduziert habe. Auch die Blickwinkelstabilität ist für ein TN-Panel erfreulich gut, wenn man nicht gerade von schräg unten auf den Bildschirm gucken möchte.

- Die Bildwiedergabe beim Spielen entbehrt jeder Kritik. Die Geschwindigkeit des Monitors ist bemerkenswert gut, und vor allem den Wechsel von 60 Hz auf 120-144 Hz merke ich deutlich, weil alles fließender und ohne Verzerrungen dargestellt wird. Ich spiele zwar nur MMORPGs, aber selbst dort merkt man eine klare Darstellungsverbesserung. Die Tiefendarstellung ist dabei besonders beeindruckend, weil alles plastischer und klarer wirkt als z.B. bei meinem alten TN-Panel.

Fazit:
Alles in allem hoffe und scheine ich den für mich perfekten Allround-/Gaming-Monitor gefunden zu haben, nach dem ich nun längere Zeit gesucht habe. Ich besitze ihn erst relativ kurze Zeit und kann daher kein Urteil über seine Langzeitqualität fällen, aber bisher bin ich äußerst zufrieden mit dem Gerät und kann den XL2720Z jedem vielseitigen Nutzer und Gamer empfehlen.

Nachtrag 22.07.2017:
Nach 10 Monaten sehr intensiver Nutzung (täglich ca. 8-12 Stunden) kann ich mein Lob nur bestärken: Der Monitor ist nach wie vor tadellos und schnell und bietet eine exzellente Bildqualität für meine Ansprüche und Einsatzfelder sowohl unter Windows als auch Linux. Ich würde ihn jederzeit sofort wieder kaufen.

Sono quasi 2 mesi che sto usando questo monitor e mi ritengo molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto. Non ha certo un prezzo economico,ma nell'uso quotidiano si capisce il perché. Naturalmente è un monitor da gaming,quindi il massimo lo da giocando,però devo dire che anche guardando foto o guardando un film,non è affatto male. Come è ben specificato nella descrizione del prodotto ha una risoluzione full hd a 144hz e vi garantisco che a questa risoluzione è davvero eccezionale. Ha molte regolazioni a livello di luminosità,colore e tantissime altre cose,tutto molto intuitivo e facile da imparare. Ha una piede molto stabile,anch'esso con molte regolazioni che dimostra la qualità del prodotto che avete acquistato. Sul retro si può collegare di tutto (hdmi,dvi-dl,DisplayPort,prese usb 2.0)nella confezione è compreso un cavo dvi-dl per la risoluzione a 144hz. Ha i tasti di regolazione e di accensione che si illuminano solo se si avvicina la mano,quindi non troverete tasti fisici. Potrei recensire per un'ora intera,ma la migliore esperienza per capire le vere potenzialità di questo prodotto è quella di acquistarlo. Naturalmente le prestazione del pc sono indispensabili,ma se avete un buon hardware non ve ne pentirete. Spedizione velocissima è ottimo servizio di Amazon.

Revisiting after a year. To tell you all the experience of this beast monitor that I had.
Last year I was planning to buy a new gaming rig. I bought a Gigabyte G1 GTX 970, so a Monitor with 1080p resolution and high refresh rates was mandatory, anything below this will not justify my graphics card! I wanted to buy a G-sync enabled monitor. I did lots of research, all the G-sync enabled monitor were overrated (Over ₹60k). In my old rig, I had 19'' monitor, to make a progression, I wanted this gaming rig to have a beast size monitor (And 27'' was a sweet spot for me) So finally after lots of research I get to know that G-sync enabled monitor and a Monitor with high refresh rates works almost same if we have a good graphics card to handle it! So I finalized with The BENQ XL2720Z 1080P FHD Monitor with a whopping 144Hz Refresh rates.
Let me start by saying that Amazon had done a good job in packaging and delivering. Seriously Hands down!
BENQ guys were also serious about packing this monitor. I had a best time unboxing this monitor. Most of the companies packs the monitor by keeping it vertical, this on the other hand is kept horizontally. This approach is better for compact packing.
Setup was easy and I had no trouble there.
Now coming straight to the point, my reviews on this one:
Pros:
1)144Hz refresh rates (Best for gaming, the games were so Smooth, treat for the eyes)
2)Motion Blur
3)3D Ready (only supports NVIDIA 3d vision kit)
4)Colours are quite accurate out of the box, no such tweaking needed.
5)Very important point. 1MS GTX response time. I mean, SERIOUSLY! (Best for Gamers, so you can be 1up when playing shooting games)
5)Design and quality materials. Matte finishing!
6)S-switch helps alot.
Cons:
1) Expensive. At least when I bought a year back it was affordable.
Thanks guys I hope you'll enjoy buying this. As I'm very satisfied!!
