Not sure what happened, it seems like they pulled out for some reason. The premiere began on Youtube, played about 15 seconds and cut off at this point. As of now there's no evidence of it on the BenQ Zowie E-Sports Youtube Channel

All I heard was a narrator talking about how wen the XL2546K released in 2020, it wasn't at the highest refresh rate available, matching the competition. I think they were mentioning this because the XL2566K also won't be, but I think they'll argue it's worth it, hopefully that is true.
They showed before the livestream cut that it was indeed a 360Hz TN monitor with Dyac +

I'm very curious, but honestly waiting for the Asus 500Hz would be a more substantial upgrade, especially for those coming from 240Hz.

what I like about the Zowie 240hz is the Dyac and how u can tune the colors and brightness. Compared it with the 390 hz Acer and Zowie won.

Few weeks ago I read that the 480hz/500hz/540hz panel (no one is sure what its final specification will be) won't released until mid 2023. Can't find the site it was on, but it contained a big list of upcoming AU Optronics panels.

Yes, honestly, with IPS panels in games like Apex Legends I sometimes confuse enemies with the environment, something that didn't happen to me when I had XL2546K

What's the verdict guys? Is it even worth considering to upgrade to Xl2566K from the XG2431?

I hope they make a 27" variant. I would buy it immediately.

Absolutely-freaking not lol. $600+ for a minimal upgrade.
