BENQ Zowie XL2746S Owners Thread

[pstn]

Someone said in this thread that XL2546S is 6bits+FRC (low quality 8bits), and XL2746S is true 8bits, any review has confirm this ?

If is true, hope the speed boost in XL2546S worth it. If both panels are 8bits and 6+FRC is just a firmware setting to trade less color precision with lower response time, maybe the XL2746S also can get an firmware upgrade to activate this mode from OSD. And XL2546S to access true 8bits.

In specs dont talk about color bits, but there are a new feature in the chart -> Fast Liquid Crystal, without any explanation about it

Maybe this has to do with the color precision reduction, but from a marketing point of view, highlight the speed and hide the losses. So, talk about speed in the name, generate hype, and no explanations. Dirty marketing.

XL2746S not have Fast Liquid Crystal.

It says the 27 also has Fast Liquid Crystal

Fast Liquid Crystal is what zowie calls 0.5ms panels lol. They are trying to appeal to the cool kids I guess

If the XL2546S is indeed 6 bit w/FRC then it probably explains why some people found the color w/it to be lackluster.

True, i didn't read with enought attention, in comparison chart not show the feature like in XL2546S, but is placed botton in specs.

so does this mean the xl2756s is better than the 25 inch? better colors?>

I believe it means that the xl2746s has slightly better colors but sacrifices slightly worse performance. I'd imagine the difference isn't noticeable, but I may be wrong. I opted for buying the 27" because I prefer the advantage of having enemies slightly larger and don't care too much about the slightly worse pixelation.

why would performance be worse though? they both have a 0.5ms panel.

XL2546S Pros(89 PPI, little better response time Because it’s 6bit+FRC)

Although I imagine when you really get down to it, either difference isn't very noticeable and you're just splitting fine hairs at that point.

Hi,


I just ordered XL2546S from amazon uk for pretty good price, but still out of stock. Now I have an aoc 32" 144Hz, I just playing lot of competitive games, I hope I will not dissapointing. I was thinking on ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QM and MSI Optix MAG251RX, but I think for benq is the best, I hope

Any suggestion for gsync on or off? I have rtx 2080!

Thanks and sorry for my eng

I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you can afford it, these are some of the best monitors right now for gaming. From what I have heard, a lot of pro players play with gsync off. You get the added bonus of being able to use dyac+ and if you're getting the fps, you don't need it.
