Forum thread: XL2546 new or used?

I would definitely go for the 2020 K model. It has Dyac+ and 0.5ms. Everything that was "bad" with the 2017 model has been improved, and your gonna have the monitor 5-6 years so... dont save money now! See if you cant get the new as Demo or smth, thats what I did, got it for $540

exactly that, sometimes lan events also sell out the monitors used in them thru some retailer (atleast in finland), but unfortunately thats not happening right now :()

they are not. the pro gear stats are not being updated. for example most pros play with Logitech g pro but the stats show zowie ec2-a as the most common mouse.

2020-11-25 23:26

Cuz it came out October this year?

Neither? Cheaper 240hz options out there, also with ips panels. msi mag251rx, asus vg259qm, aw2521hf, etc. Why buy more expensive benq instead?

Because the motion blurs on a cheap monitor is actually dogshit

That's why you look up benchmarks and reviews. The benq xl series aren't much or even noticeably better than the fastest of ips options. Unless you use dyac with 2546k/s, there is gonna be ghosting trail anyway.

no point in arguing with twelve year olds insisting on TN bestest in 2020

2020-12-08 13:24

+1 exactly my idea

2020-11-29 17:12

Idc about IPS panel

2020-12-08 13:16

lmao VG259QM has horrendous ghosting / input lagg in any mode (Gsync on/off ELMB on/off Overdrive 0 to 100. Don't talk about things that you have no clues.

2020-12-08 16:44

What do you think about GIGABYTE AORUS FI25F with 0.4ms this monitor have "aimstabilization" actually kinda same things as DYAC and well AORUS cheaper and have better colors.

Is the FI25F cheap in Lithuania? Here it is quite expensive at 500 euro.

417 eur around plus As I'm product manager of one company, so I can get a better price, but it would couple euros less so it would be somewhere around 407 euros

Nice. Well, it seems like a good one. VG259QM and MAG251RX are really cheap, but I have had 2 MAG251RX already and both had either bad bleed or dead pixels. FI25F seems like it has better build quality and also the best OSD on the market. I wanna get it but not sure if I wanna spend 500 euro.

bad bleed/dead pixels youre clearly just unlucky. return the monitor and get one without defects.

2020-12-08 13:26

2020-12-08 13:17

2020-11-26 23:03

I would get the used one, if its legit warranty, and not anyhow damaged its worth it

2020-11-26 23:06

used

2020-11-26 23:07

if you want best monitor go for ASUS 360 hz pg259qn

2020-11-30 10:58

I can't post anything now because im not active I wanted to ask dp you know a decent 240hz monitor for around 300 or little bit more 24''-25'' 1080p?

2020-11-30 11:04

I got the XL2546K for 460€, pretty good overall but the red are pink-ish instead whch is annoying. Anyways, I don't think there is that much difference to the Xl2546 from what I've read, the panel is marginally faster in reaction times and slightly less blur but you probably won't even notice. If it's basically the same price go for the K (which is what I did), if the used XL2546 is way cheaper don't feel like you're missing out if you go for that

also bought new xl2546k

2020-12-08 13:18

I would say new or used but the newest model. Monitors have really become better in the past couple of years and there are some things about my xl2411 (got it 2016) that I wish were different.

TN panel :p but I'm used to it

2020-12-08 14:24

you need to re-setup colors (i use 97-89-82 u will have some yellow shades but that's fine, in-game it's very cool and picture looks way more realistic... idk maybe those TN enhancements were disabling tons of colors and shades)

2020-12-08 14:38

Accidentally enabled blur reduction (without even knowing it's popular now) few days ago and, god, it's like you woking up, or like almost playing on CRT. Hovewer i believe it just disables some TN enhancing staff coz i feel like i'm on old 710N now

2020-12-08 14:34

Both overpriced garbage marketed for stubborn csgo players. Buy Asus VG259QM

2020-12-08 15:43

Go for the newest model u gayass

2020-12-08 15:44

Dunno 610 is way too much for a monitor

2020-12-08 16:07

Not having 360hz in 2020 lul

2020-12-08 16:13

yeah, that's why 100% of the pros still play on their ZOWIE BenQ's 240hz CSGO engine is bad and 360hz is a waste of money because on most maps you won't even hit stable 350fps. There always will be drops. New engine (source 2) and BenQ will release 360hz monitors in their gaming XL line.
