I am from Czech Republic, cool

Order for me and then re-route to Croatia hahahah

I asked BenQ directly about XL2546K release, they said it should be available at stores mid-October in my country (Poland), so I guess it will be available everywhere locally some time in October.

I'm from the Netherlands and I ordered mine last week, it will arrive at my house tomorrow.

Having it side by side with my old XL2546, the colors are an improvement. The K looks more crisp somehow, even though it's also "just" 1080p. Motion is also a bit clearer on the UFO test. Aesthetically not a lot has changed, the numbers on the S-switch are now black instead of red and the controls for the monitor are on the back. Also tried the new "XL- Settings to share" software by Zowie. Nothing special there, you can import and export color profiles to the monitor, but I prefer to just make my own and use the monitor's onboard menu for this (which has also been updated.)

What about overdrive performance and pixel inversion artifacts? My XL2546 had significant bluish overshoot trails (on both AMA "high" and "premium") in UFO Test and very visible, distracting pixel inversion artifacts.

I am currently testing HP Omen X 25f (240 Hz TN) and its overdrive performance is a lot better than XL2546, on optimal overdrive (Level 3) there's just a bit of overshoot, much less than on XL2546, but pixel inversion artifacts are also very pronounced on this panel, I guess that's a common problem with TNs in general (or 240 Hz panels in general, some of my high refresh rate IPS panels also suffered from pixel inversion artifacts).

Someone said that pixel inversion (vertical scan lines) is very noticeable while the monitor is new, but then, after some time, it becomes less noticeable or imperceptible.

Never heard of that. I've had my ASUS VG259QM for 4 weeks now and the artifacts are still present, although they are not as pronounced as on both of 240 Hz TN panels I tested. Some other guy on this forum told me that his unit of VG259QM doesn't have this problem at all, so I guess it's just panel lottery. RLCScontender (I bet you know who he is) says that every TN panel has pixel inversion artifacts issues from what I've seen. I think Chef Blur Buster also mentioned somewhere that TN panels are more prone to this issue. Out of very high refresh rate monitors I tested only ASUS VG279QM and MSI MAG251RX were free from this issue, from what I recall.

I wonder if XL2546K also has this problem...

I would love to know how the Omen X25f compares to the VG259QM in real time gaming.
Looking forward to you letting us know

If you're still interested in my opinion, take a look at this post of mine.

So I got the XL2546K in today, and my initial thoughts are that Dyac+ is good, I think I need to look into tweaking it to get it closer to CRT levels of motion clarity. Now for non-Dyac... it's not good. AMA off has so much inverse ghosting/smearing that it looks WORSE than an equivalent IPS 240Hz, and AMA High and Premium introduce so much overshoot I wouldn't even consider them viable options. For this monitor it is basically a requirement to use Dyac+.

P.S. If you would like to move this to a Owners Thread, that is fine.
