BenQ Unleashes XL2720Z Gaming Display

[yapchagi]

no company made a 2560x1440 120hz monitor because it's very unlikely that we can get 120 fps at that resolution, even with dual GPU.

I have a 27" Overlord 2560x1440 A-Grade AH-IPS paired with a GTX 780. I successfully managed 110HZ and 110FPS on high settings in BF4. I didnt even push it, i can probably hit 120Hz, havent tried. And yeah, it cost me an arm and a leg, but I drool everytime I play BF4. Its amazing, so yeah, if you are that serious about wanting a high res,high refresh IPS, it can be achieved at this time, for a price...

haha no one will believe this!

You'll only get around 56 fps with a single GTX 780! Provided that u play the game on ultra settings.
On high settings, probably around 58 - 60 fps.

@ xyriin & omnimodis78 - YOU BOTH ARE TOTAL IDIOTS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!! People need real advice from those of us that have real knowledge and experience to share. NUFF SAID!!

I'm presuming that first bit of ragefest was supposed to be aimed at me, as well?

I've owned one of those Overlords, and an Iiyama 1440p monitor, and a BenQ XL2420T. Did you have the BenQ actually running at 120hz? Did you enable lightboost? Did you calibrate the colors of both monitors?

I can tell you that the BenQ, in terms of fluidity, blows both those other monitors out of the water. In my samples, at least, the BenQ also had better color and way better blacks than the Overlord. The Iiyama beat both, but was only 60Hz.

Most people are straight-up missing the motion blur reduction implementation. It's a manufacturer supported strobed backlight that turns off the backlight during redraw. This is spectacular at reducing motion blur. While G-Sync sounds awesome, in it's first iteration, they've already stated that it will be incompatible with this implementation of motion blur reduction. So you still have to pick one or the other. And IPS is (as stated by others above) incompatible with both.

tl;dr: IPS, Zero motion blur, or G-Sync. Pick one and only one.

TN panel? Seriously? Thanks but no thanks.

Don't dis a TN panel, especially with lightboost. My XL2420T looks incredible, and has very, very good blacks. Also, the fact that it's 120Hz and has lightboost... that at least balances out against an ips panel - it comes down to being a matter of preference for speed, or slightly better colour.

Any idea when it will be relased?

@ xyriin & omnimodis78 - YOU BOTH ARE TOTAL IDIOTS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!! I own both types of monitors; Overlord Tempest X270OC 27" LED S-IPS 120Hz 2560 x 1440 gaming monitor and a BenQ XL2420T 24" LED TN 120Hz 1920 x 1080 gaming monitor. I can tell you right now it is day and night when compared to one another. The Overlord monitor blows away the BenQ in every single category. Everything from web browsing, document viewing, photo editing, and of course gaming are all far superior on the Overlord monitor. Colors and more vibrant, viewing angles are aweomse (176 degrees of center!). Every game looks amazing with black blacks, vibrant colors, and all grays are scaled correctly - unlike any TN panel monitor that I've ever used. I liked the Overlord so much that I couldn't sell my crap BenQ TN panel monitor fast enough! The bottom line is that you two couldn't be more wrong. You both definitely don't have any kind of experience or hands-on knowledge regarding the comparison of these types of monitor and are just pulling crap out of your butts to post in a forum because it's 'what you feel' and have no idea what you are talking about. Do yourselves a favor and don't post lies in the forums anymore. People need real advice from those of us that have real knowledge and experience to share. NUFF SAID!!

No, I'm afraid you showed your lack of knowledge by not even reading what I said.

You only confirm what I've stated about IPS in that it provides a superior visual experience. That's why IPS is used for high quality displays that graphics pros use. (I've got two Dell U2713 panels that are 1440p and 27" to attest to that fact)

IPS always looks better than TN, there is no disputing that fact. However, TN panels still exist because they have faster performance than IPS panels, also another fact that cannot be disputed. This is the reason TN panels are common for gaming only monitors.

You obviously recognize the quality of an IPS panel but you aren't a gamer concerned with performance. If you want to learn more about panel performance you should visit sites like Blur Busters and 120hz and upgrade yourself.
