NEW Benq Zowie Monitors Speculation/Info Thread (XL2546K-B, XL2546K, XL2411K)

[leesunchoo]

I wonder what other improvements this monitor will have besides the extra 120hz?

The only thing that I know so far is that we will be able to customize the AMA on this coming monitor https://cache.tradeinn.com/images/pdf/m ... L2411K.pdf (page 47)

Also maybe an announcement coming up at PAX West? https://www.benq.com/en-us/campaign/ben ... _west_2022

3) ENTRY PERIOD: Starts on August 12, 2022 at 12:01 AM CST and ends on
September 18, 2022, at 11:59 PM CST.

I hope we hear something around 18 sept. For example: when does the winner get the upgraded monitor?

oh yah it says pending for product launch in October on that page

[Illuxzaah]

Benq or zowie in particular is known to announce their products randomly, rumours are only rumours at the end of the day, have to wait until they announce, simple as that.

BenQ is officially announcing the XL2566K in 15 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4VbKf6GotY

[saw141]

Not sure what happened, it seems like they pulled out for some reason. The premiere began on Youtube, played about 15 seconds and cut off at this point. As of now there's no evidence of it on the BenQ Zowie E-Sports Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/ZOWIEeSports.

All I heard was a narrator talking about how wen the XL2546K released in 2020, it wasn't at the highest refresh rate available, matching the competition. I think they were mentioning this because the XL2566K also won't be, but I think they'll argue it's worth it, hopefully that is true.

They showed before the livestream cut that it was indeed a 360Hz TN monitor with Dyac +

[Discorz]

I hoped they would introduce DyAc+Sync (vrr strobing). Looks like that ain't gonna happen. I feel like it's necessary because its hard to maintain perfectly flat high frame rate cap without tinkering around or introducing additional lag. And we know strobing doesn't look good when frame rate doesn't perfectly match refresh rate.
