About this deal

It is very difficult to capture subtle changes that can be observed across the screen, such as those observed above, on camera. The following video explores some of the more pronounced changes that can be observed in image composition as the viewer’s position is changed relative to the monitor. The first section of the video highlights the shifts between red and green on the Lagom text test. The second section shows some of the changes that can be observed on a mixed image – note in particular the bleaching and colour inversion that occurs vertically. The third and final section of the video shows the golden glow that can be observed off-angle as mentioned in the ‘Contrast and brightness’ section.

The default colors on this are HORRENDOUS, due to the fact the monitor is on a different 'mode' in the settings. To fix the colors, you have to change the Picture Mode to Standard and set the Custom Key to Picture Mode. Also, would Google on what to set the settings to as my eyes are pretty terrible so I'm not great at calibrating colors. There was no silver bullet, but we found the following gave the most pleasing image. This was the case for both the AMD Radeon 7950 used for the review and the Nvidia 670 used to assess possible vendor-specific differences, both GPUs connected using the DVI cable supplied. It is important to remember that different individual monitors will differ, especially if BenQ provide revision changes at a later date.BenQ has never been one for look-at-me styling, and the XL2411P follows that theme. It could easily be mistaken for an enterprise monitor and is certainly qualified for that purpose. One unique element is the small tab on the bottom right that leads the user to the control buttons underneath. A small LED shines orange in standby mode and green when the power’s on. Trying to make textures for Minecraft is super annoying sense the colours near the top or sides of the screen are different than lower down or other side. The coloured contrast gradients were decent. The upper two red and pink bands seemed to blend in a bit too well but distinct brightness steps were visible elsewhere.

Lightning-fast 144 Hz refresh rate performance for a smooth PC gaming experience over DisplayPort or DVI-D Tralasciando la VGA inutile per lo scopo di utilizzo del monitor l'HDMI purtroppo permette solo 60hz per cui i 144hz sono garantiti solo con cavo DVI. Si sente la mancanza di un connettore DP visto che le schede video moderne offrono porte HDMI e DVI. The colour gamut corresponds approximately to sRGB, fitting particularly tightly for red and blue shades with just a small extension beyond. There is under-coverage of some green shades with extension beyond for other green shades. Our biggest criticism of the OSD is simply that cycling through the presets is very cumbersome, as you can see in the video. You can’t simply skip to your desired preset and activate it; you must go through each individually and wait for them to be applied. You must scroll all the way up the long way when you reach the bottom, too. This could be frustrating if you frequently change presets and one of the reasons the ‘S-Switch’ of the 20T was so useful. Small relief can be found from the ability to store 3 custom presets, though, which are much easier to cycle through and can of course be customised to your liking.Scrivo questa recensione a più di 5 anni dall'acquisto in quanto il monitor in questione è ancora quello che uso tutt'ora.

Setting the monitor to 120Hz worked fine on this movie software, however. Regardless of the refresh rate the film content itself is currently limited to a frame rate of under 30fps. Each frame is shown multiple times to fill in the refresh rate. This gives a slight edge in smoothness over running the film at 60Hz but isn’t as fluid as running high frame rate content such as games. There’s still a bit of a disconnected feeling to motion – but there was no noticeable trailing or overdrive artifacts in the two Blu-ray titles we tested. It’s a nice feeling being able to turn a monitor on for the first time and for everything to just look right. Unfortunately that feeling eluded us with the BenQ XL2411T. Under default settings it looked bleached, overly bright and very washed out. In fact it was quite comparable to a weak ‘solarize’ filter being applied in photo editing software. Thankfully I'm making textures as a hobby but if I was earning a living from creating colourful art, I would avoid this monitor.

Our overall gaming experience with the XL2411P was a positive one, but we’d rather see FreeSync support than be forced to resort to a blur reduction feature for smooth motion. The reduction in brightness may be an issue for some users, as it's limited to 180 nits peak. But turning it on created a tad more color saturation, making the monitor look a little better. Corsair Dominator Titanium First Edition DDR5-6600 C32 2x32GB Review: Abundant Capacity And Performance This is my first 144hz monitor. Bought this based on a friend's recommendation. Concerning image quality, I can't really make any expert comments, but it's definitely an up from my previous monitor. Appearance-wise, the product photos made it look pretty ugly, but in person, the monitor actually looks pretty nice. The included stand is the only downside for me. I like my monitor to be raised up, but the included stand isn't to sturdy. I ended up buying a separate monitor stand. The Lagom text showed obvious red banding on the text at the bottom transitioning to green at the top. Even the slightest head movement caused the composition to change. This indicated a high level of viewing angle dependency to the monitor’s gamma curve as is typical of a TN panel monitor.
