Oh I see thanks, if it's the same response time approximately between 2540K and 2546k that's great, it would save me 300€ compared to XL2546K.
As for the shields, you meant the physical ones you place between the monitor ?
I have no idea about the DyAc+ technology, is it a must for FPS such as Valorant and CSGO ( I play mostly competitively)?
You're welcome.
I mean the shields you mount on both sides of the monitor, as shown
here.
DyAc is definitely
not a must-have, it's something that is very subjective. Some players love it, others couldn't care less about it (myself included). Motion blur reduction technologies mostly help to extremely reduce perceived motion blur in eye-tracking/look-arounds (out of crosshair-focused vision) scenarios while playing. It's my
best advice you try it yourself to decide whether it's beneficial to you, or not.
As I already wrote about it before, just read my previous posts about DyAc
here and
here.
You might also want to take a look at official Zowie's website, they explain DyAc in
here.

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive explanation, I see, I'm not that familar wwith DyAc, but if I can't get my hands on the 2546K it's fine I don't think this feature would suit me well, I would say I'm quite like you lol, I can't justify the price of 300€ more for a DyAc feature and shields which I won't even use, so I think I'll get the 2540k version.

I definitely agree as far as the S-Switch and shield goes.
The shield is only good for very crowded lans and what not... kind of a gimmick, just like the S-Switch, IMO. I have the XL2420Z atm, which has an S-Switch, and quite frankly I've never used it. I'm just not sure about the DyAc+.
I wasn't aware of the XL2540K. I had been planning to get the XL2546K and was wondering if I'd like the DyAc+ or not, but I figured that it doesn't matter because I'll try it once I get it. Now that I know of the XL2540K (thanks to you, actually, I wasn't aware of this), it makes things a little complicated, because I'm gonna have to decide in advance, without trying it first hand. I no longer play CSGO, and not sure if it would be handy in Fortnite...
Would you guys say that I can base off my decision on my current monitor's Blur Reduction technology, which is not as good as DyAc?

Try the ICM profile on benq's website (under the support section for the XL2546k)
I also used some XL2646s calibration settings I found as a baseline and tweaked them a little bit more to my liking --
which you can find at this link

I wouldn't say S switch is a gimmick.
True, I rarely use it, but if I found myself manually switching to profile every time I need to switch a profile I think I would snap.
Or if I wanna play with the settings laid back in chair instead of being leaned with my arm extended. Sorry but I'm lazy AF sometimes. I believe others are too.

What settings do you guys use for gaming and for content consumption(for those of you who use it as your main monitor)?
Benq's ICM profile still doesn't fix red/magenta/purple shades, I guess I'll wait for RTings' review to try another icc profile.

I use the S-Switch constantly every time I'm at my computer. I've got 3 profiles - regular content, gaming 1 (for games I want higher color vibrancy), and gaming 2 (for games I want less vibrancy). The two gaming profiles have Dyac+ and AMA enabled, as well as some black equalizer and sharpness tweaks.

This is my XL2546k:
I started from using Dyac+ on a bunch of specific games to using it in every single game where I can output 240+fps.
(Except League of Legends that stutters like hell at 300fps for some reason)
