About this product
The BenQ ZOWIE XL2740 is a 27-inch TN gaming monitor with 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time. It supports 1920 x 1080 resolution via DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort inputs.

Our take
The BenQ ZOWIE XL2740 is a solid 27-inch 240Hz monitor for the price. The 1ms TN panel delivers excellent motion handling, but viewing angles and color reproduction are typical of TN—poor from side angles. The inclusion of DVI is outdated, but HDMI and DP cover modern needs. Build quality is decent with tilt and VESA mount support. At $250, it's a good value for competitive gamers who want a larger screen without breaking the bank, but don't expect vibrant visuals.
