I can buy the BENQ zowie xl2546 at the same price as the BENQ xl2546s and I don’t want to wait for the new one what do I choose?
If you can still get the S, then get it. It's the newer/better panel.

Can not help but wonder if they'll make K version 0.5ms panel advertised. I read they can't achieve constant 0.5ms GtG response time with S version or that its not consistent.
I mean its 1st of September wtf the waiting with the announcement :roll: :D

I'm pretty sure they will not. Probably not even 360 Hz. I'd like to be wrong, but I remain sceptical, hopefully we'll find out soon enough.

Can we guys like organize and start spamming their mails and inboxes throughout social networks asking for the XL2546K update or whatever?
I mean wtf are they waiting with specs and details. Its not like 240hz market is undiscovered...we're stepping into 360hz era and they are acting so mysterious about this bullshit discountinuity of xl2546S and announcement of their new model like its completely new technology.
Seeing rtx cards going so cheap regarding price-to-performance ratio, people will most likely (including myself) start thinking of going directly to 360hz instead of waiting for their model.

So what do you say? Shall we start sending emails and asking inbox and whoever gets the info paste it here?
