The 2546k does have a problem with the black equalizer. It slightly yellows the image and when it switches 0 to 1, the light areas become darker, who has the same problem, check. The black equalizer should not darken the light part of the image, this is observed on my monitor, there is no such problem on 2546.
My XL2546K has the same issue.
Can u give me photo when be is 0,and when be is 1,i give it in zowie support for fix it, im sell my 2546k
I returned my XL2546K a few days ago.
Going from 0 to 1 should add little to no change but that's not the case. it looks like the gamma changes drastically. The issue is very noticeable to anyone, tell them to switch from Black equalizer 0 to 1, they will see the issue themselves.

Here's what they wrote to me

"Hi, how are you?
i saw your post of XL2546K black equalizer.

i commented under your post, and also like to ask for your help to share us a video of this issue, we can further check if there is any abnormal or not, and if we can further service you.
When you shoot a video by your phone, may you help to place a A4 white paper next to your screen as a white balance, and then you can share the video to me by imgur or google drive link to me, thank you very much."

Did you bring it back because of the black equalizer?

Why?
I just edited my previous comment.

in regard to why I returned it, I posted the reason on another thread.

I just returned both my XL2546K and my Acer Nitro XV252Q 280Hz IPS. I decided to stay with TN but the XL2546K is 100% not the one. It's definitely sharper than the ACER, but it has a ton of inverse ghosting even with AMA OFF and OD gain on 0. The text also looks disgusting while scrolling.

In regard to DyAc, I didn't like it at all. I felt like it added a little bit more input lag. I also noticed some strobing artifacts while gaming and A LOT of artifacts while browsing the web.
I've seen UFO tests of the XL2546S and that monitor is much better tuned than this Xl2546K despite both using the same panel. The S has much less strobing artifacts and much less overshoot. Sadly, Benq discontinued the S.

I'm gonna buy the XL2540K and the VG258QM and see which one I should keep.

Hey guys, I want to ask is ULMB on the Asus 360hz PG259QN similar to DyAc on the XL2546k other than brightness? Or is DyAc much better in other ways to?

Because I’ve been told to sell my PG259QN for the XL2546K because DyAc is worth it, especially for a overwatch player lol.

Need some advice thanks.

Dyac at 240hz on the Benq is going to be better than ELMB at 240hz on the Asus.
The only differences dyac has over other strobing techniques are:
- Overvolted backlights that flash 4x-8x higher brightness to compensate brightness reduction.
- Longest %BFI duration compared to other strobing techniques, Dyac Premium is 83.3%. This translates into better motion clarity with a fast panel.

That being said I don't think that going from a PG259QN to a XL2546K is considerable an upgrade, you are losing 120hz and lower input lag just for better strobing (which you may/may not like), If I was you I wouldn't sell my PG259QN.

I agree with axaro. In a way it would be a downgrade.

Here are some shots of these monitors for comparison.
Even if u can tell the difference on ufo ghosting test, the actual in-game difference is much, much smaller.

I do not know if someone else had the problem of headache and tired retinal burned eye, it is a monitor that I had to sell it because it did not support 1 month of use
