yes i'll have more than 200fps, there is any "result" for 60 and 100hz mode ?

I read 60 and 100hz modes have 5ms with the MSI

if u care about speed get xl2546s but again the monitor suffer from colors its so washed out here review of it someone say its too foggy

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Kz411 ... 7963991505

get the xl2546 little bit slower then xl2546s but colors are more deeper then 2546s
Sorry but that's not a review, just some random comment with a poorly made few second video in Chinese and seems like complete bs.
i ask someone that had the monitor for testing ur welcome

Again, that's not a review, just some random twitch streamer who may have no idea how to setup a monitor. The fact that he "prefers" an older slower panel just speaks volumes. Soon enough some people on this forum will have one as will actual reviewers and then we can see what they think. Nobody has had any complaints about the XL2746S (including me) so it would be very surprising for BenQ to significantly alter the XL2546S.

Just wait for a review and see what they say. If it's trash, then get the MSI or any other monitor. Trust me, I have no loyalty towards BenQ or any other display maker but the rational thing to do is to wait.

Look how subjective opinions can be: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6796

This is on BB and the guy is getting bad results from the "old" XL2546 so that's why you can never base a purchase on subjective opinions (mine included). Often people have driver issues and think it's the monitor because they lack the technical ability to discern the difference.


Wait for a few reputable professional websites to do the review and then make a decision.

XL2546S is only available during June. Just wait for more proper reviews and then spend your precious money on a monitor that will last you years to come. :)

Good thing I ordered via Amazon Prime, when i get it i will test and calibrate it and if it doesn't feel right I will just send it back and get something better (2746S or even Asus 360hz if it releases soon)

U guys do realize there's zero difference in in game performance. 240hz mitigate the small g2g advantage the benq has to the point where it's impossible to tell the difference in performance.

What is noticeable are
.
1. Bad viewing angles. U stand? Color shift. U recline your chair? Color shift.
2. Inaccurate colorz. Expect washed out tint and bad color uniformity
3. Even if u are facing the monitor directly forward, bcuz the corners are at an angle relative to your eyes, u will see distortion . Which means the corners may look black, or brown, or green, or they are non existent (black hole effect)
4. Useless outside of gaming. Dont bother watching movies or browsing the internet bcuz the whole color issues will come into effect. Its as if a unicorn barfed out colors and not in a good way like a typical oversaturated ips woild look.


Im not bashing TN, but bcuz there are ips panels that can do the same job, why buy one? Preference maybe? Or the placebo effect knowing u have a TN, that u can confidently play ur best bcuz u have a "TN". Who knows

Get the MSI, do ureally have to come here and have us tell u this?

If i want to see a movie I have a LG 65 inch Oled TV
If I want to work I have a 2560x1440 IPS panel

I am not constrained by money or space that's why I want the best gaming panel and sorry but IPS arent yet good enough even at 240hz.

Also I don't want to buy 10 time the same monitor because ALL IPS panel QC is crap due to the technology itself.

Given how you defend your purchases and how fast you change opinion you seems a bit unreliable first asus 280 was the best ,then MSI which you purchased 5 times ...

also all your picture are yellowish I am pretty sure your should consult and get checked about deuteranopia .

Same for me, i'll buy an oled 65c9 soon
It's why i want a panel only for competitive games, for the other i will use my LG because it's another world with the oled
But... sometimes, i'll need to stay on my computer and play with the display 25" (for other games too, it's why i need a good monitor 60hz and 100hz too)


Anyway, the first days I trusted your different comments @RLCScontender

But you seem to be a fanboy, and your way of speaking is not convincing

This is why I await more informed opinions concerning these two screens.

What a bunch of nonsense. I'd go point by point over why you're wrong but why bother? You keep guerilla marketing IPS as if it's some brand new technology none of us has ever experienced. Those g2g differences and especially DYAC for FPS players is a huge difference. You're just some clueless kid that buys and returns monitors at Amazon's expense and thinks he is some monitor god as a result--you don't know shit, especially when you tried to claim your IPS pursuit pictures were clearer than the other guys TN ones when they clearly weren't.

For every other rational person on this board, wait for reliable professional reviews and then make a decision. When making a decision, use multiple sources of information rather than just one.
