Overview
Counter-Strike and Valorant specialists make up the audience for the BenQ ZOWIE XL2586X, a 24.1-inch TN monitor that runs 1920 × 1080 at 540 Hz. TN trades colour depth for the quickest pixels around, and a 1300:1 contrast ratio keeps the picture clear. Brightness is 350 nits typical and 400 nits at peak. Three HDMI 2.1 ports and DisplayPort 1.4 give plenty of room for a PC plus consoles. The stand lifts 155 mm, and the monitor weighs 5.8 kg.
