BenQ ZOWIE Rolls Out new e-Sports Monitor

BenQ has announced the launch of a new monitor under their new ZOWIE game series branding, called XL2730Z. This one is a TN-based panel that offers 144-Hz gaming. It however has shielding to the left and right, and that makes it more unique as it helps in blocking light sources, while you game in privacy.

The new monitor comes with a DyAc technology that achieves remarkable clarity particularly for action packed games. The Shield helps you focus on the game by blocking out distractions, while the new S Switch with built-in memory allows for easy access of personal settings.

It also features a built-in Black eQualizer technology that brightens dark scenes without over-exposing the bright areas. The panel used is a 27-inch AUO TN (Twisted Nematic) panel with 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) resolution, offering a 144Hz refresh rate (40 – 144Hz variable refresh rate).
