Overview
Esports practice rooms and school gaming labs are a good fit for the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K, a 24.5-inch TN monitor that runs 1920 × 1080 at 240 Hz with a 0.5 ms response. Its 270 nit panel has 800:1 contrast, and its stand raises 155 mm for matching seat heights across a room. Three HDMI 2.0 ports and DisplayPort 1.2 mean several machines can share it. There are no speakers. The monitor weighs 6.2 kg, so it stays put during frantic mouse swipes.
