BenQ Zowie XL2586X Plus: New ultra-fast 600Hz FHD gaming monitor launches with 24.5-inch Fast TN panel

BenQ has announced its newest gaming monitor - the Zowie XL2586X+, which serves as a successor to the 540Hz Zowie XL2586X launched last year. With a 24.5-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) display and a lightning-fast refresh rate of up to 600Hz, this monitor should deliver unmatched responsiveness and ultra-fluid gameplay.

The XL2586X+ is equipped with a cutting-edge Fast TN panel. Compared to traditional OLED or QHD panels, this Fast TN panel supposedly provides enhanced image sharpness in lower resolutions commonly used in games like CS2 and Valorant, letting players identify outlines of enemies with precision. The panel offers a typical brightness of 320 nits and a 1000:1 contrast ratio for clear visuals.

The monitor incorporates BenQ's proprietary DyAc+ (Dynamic Accuracy) 2 technology, which minimizes motion blur during intense gaming moments. With Color Vibrance and Black eQualizer settings, players can fine-tune visuals to improve visibility in darker scenes without overexposing brighter areas.

Ergonomically, the XL2586X+ is built for comfort and flexibility. It offers 155 mm of height adjustment, 45-degree swivel in both directions, and tilt adjustments from -5 to 35 degrees. The included Shielding Hood further reduces distractions by blocking peripheral light sources for a more immersive gaming environment.
Connectivity options include three HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort 1.4, and a headphone jack. The monitor is VESA wall mount compatible (100 x 100mm), allowing for various placement configurations.

Priced at $999.99, the Zowie XL2586X+ is not your everyday gaming monitor - it clearly targets serious gamers and esports professionals. With such a high refresh rate, dynamic visual upgrades, and ergonomic features, this monitor is a strong contender for those seeking an edge in competitive gaming - and a sharp edge at that.
