Review: Great quality - Bought this a few years ago for my son who’s a big gamer and he loves it. The screen quality is still amazing to this day. I definitely recommend.
Review: 240hz + zowie = amazing experience - First thing is first, most gamers looking at a 240hz monitor are wondering "is it really better than 144hz?" And the answer to that is 100% YES! I upgraded from an ASUS VG248QE 144hz monitor and I could instantly tell the difference. The difference between this XL2540K and the old XL2540 (which is now discontinued) is that they refreshed the monitor by allowing 120hz on consoles which the XL2540 does not allow. Zowie also lowered the price on this compared to the old XL2540 by removing the S shield and the shields that go on the monitor getting it to $329 compared the XL2540 which was $400. Now the difference between this and the XL2546K is that the XL2546K includes the S switch, monitor shields, and DYAC. Many CSGO pros such as zywoo, s1mple, and niko don't use dyac and this monitor is much cheaper compared to the XL2546K price of $499. The price is what attracted me to this monitor along with the zowie brand name and I was surprised to see it very well priced at $329 and I was impressed with them removing all those extra accessories to get the price lower since I don't even need any of those things(Zowie brand is used at all the csgo lans aswell). I play CSGO as my main game and this monitor is absolutely amazing for that, the difference is so big from 144hz and I am very satisfied with the purchase. Also shoutout to Zowie support if you message them on Twitter they will help you with any questions or problems and they answer very fast.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Monitor
*by D***N on July 15, 2023*

I have been using this monitor for over 7-8 months now. What I love about it is how adjustable the feet which can move at different angles which came in handy as it was one of the main reasons why I made this purchase since my mouse used to smack the monitor feet every time I go for a flick to the build quality is great as well the tilt of the monitor. The monitor setting is also great since there are many different profiles you can make to adjust the Color Vibrance, Black eQualizer, and Brightness as those are easy to access there many more settings as AMA and Sharpness but the only thing it doesn’t have is G-Sync (which is a preference if you use it) but does come with FreeSync Premium and also works for consoles on PS5 120hz for me it’s the final monitor I’ll probably ever purchase
