Before talking about the monitor, let me introduce ZOWIEGEAR. As the world’s top professional e-sports equipment brand, it has always been highly respected by e-sports hardcore players. This is mainly due to the product concept of ZOWIEGEAR, which is born for professional players. The development of products is based on close communication with professional players, starting from the actual needs of players. In terms of display, two functions, dark balance and color saturation adjustment, are developed for the needs of players and players. In the past two years, I have shined brilliantly in the game of Jedi Survival, which is loved by professional players, anchors and players.
Then let’s take a look at what effect these two functions have on Jedi survival.
Excellent gaming experience and comfort.
Test machine graphics card: Nvidia GTX1080
The test game is: Jedi survival.
1, dark balance
Take some dark scenes in the airport area of the Jedi Survival Island Map and the boxing hall in the desert map as an example. Players and friends who are familiar with the game must have encountered such a problem because these two places are two famous steel gun areas on the map, which basically belong to landing without guns, which means being killed, and the number of people who land at the same time is usually not less than three teams. More importantly, some scenes in these places are very dark, so it is often difficult to search for equipment and observe the enemy. The dark balance function is a function specially developed by ZOWIEGEAR to address this concern of players. When it is turned on, it is obvious that the dark picture is lit up, just like adding a lamp on the top of the head, so that it is easier to find equipment or find enemies!
At the same time, this function can still adjust the effect. There are a total of 20 gears to choose from, from 0 to 20, and the lifting effect is from small to large. Players can completely set an effect that suits them best according to the acceptance of their eyes, which can be said to be very humanized and intimate.
2, color saturation adjustment
Compared with the dark balance, the function of color saturation adjustment is more intuitive in optimizing the display of the game screen. When the color saturation is increased, the colors of people and objects are obviously more gorgeous, and the outlines are clearer and easier to distinguish. This also brings a lot of convenience to the field of vision observation in the game.
For example, places that make the color of vehicles more colorful, the original color is unclear, or easily confused with the color of the surrounding environment, now have a strong sense of color layering, which makes it easier for us to land and find vehicles, so as to choose the appropriate materials to avoid war.
Similarly, Voldemort lying in the grass and the phantom tank in the bush are very difficult to distinguish the enemy because of the shelter of the grass and branches and leaves. Even if you know there is a man here, you can’t find anything unusual when you look at him. Color saturation adjustment can distinguish the colors of grass from characters, making it easier for your eyes to capture these difficult-to-observe details.
More interestingly, the color saturation adjustment can still have 20 levels, but below 10 levels, it will be black and white. Sometimes it is quite interesting to look at some pictures after lowering them, which is a bit unconventional.
3, 240HZ ultra-high refresh rate +1ms extreme response time
At present, most mainstream e-sports screens on the market have a refresh rate of 144HZ, but in fact, if your game frame number is higher than 144, you need a higher refresh rate, such as 240hz, for a better game experience.
In eating chicken, because of the game, the frame is locked at 144, so the necessity of 240 is not great. However, in CSGO, Watch Pioneer and Rainbow 6, the number of game frames can generally reach 300. Then at this time, the refresh rate of 240HZ will make the picture smoother. If it is a high-end player or a professional player, it will be of great help to improve the operation.
On the other hand, for this kind of FPS game, if the refresh rate of the monitor doesn’t go up, there is another fatal wound, that is, when shooting, pressing the gun and following the gun, the mouse will obviously feel "floating", but after the refresh rate is improved, in the actual game, the monitor ZOWIE XL2540 can respond well to the operations such as prancing, rotating and dragging, and the picture is smooth.
Appearance, professional e-sports details
As a high-end professional e-sports display, its appearance maintains the consistent e-sports momentum of the BenQ ZOWIEGEAR e-sports family. ZOWIEGEAR has always been good at professional e-sports models. The XL2540 has a red and black color scheme, with black as the main color and straight lines as the main curve. Its shape recognition is unforgettable and has a strong e-sports atmosphere.
BenQ XL2540 is composed of five parts: base, bracket, screen, shutter and S-switch. The front is designed with a narrow frame, and the back is printed with a red LOGO and a triangular dark back. The overall look and feel is fashionable and atmospheric, and the texture is good.
There are a row of fine scales at the joint between the base and the bracket, as well as at the joint between the fuselage and the bracket. These scales can allow players to quickly adjust to their comfortable and comfortable positions when using in other environments, and it is also convenient to rotate and adjust.
The newly designed shading plates on both sides of the display can adjust the angle freely, aiming at blocking the background interference caused by the corner light for the player and avoiding reducing unnecessary factors that may affect the attention or cause the player to be distracted. The detail optimization, which also aims at reducing interference and helping focus, also includes a specially designed non-reflective gray border. There is also a red hidden earphone hanging rod on the side of the screen, which can pop up with one button. It is convenient for players to hang game headphones at ordinary times.
From the design details of the appearance, we can fully feel the pursuit of this monitor for the ultimate game experience of players, and these functions are still practical to use.
Configuration parameters:
From the conventional parameters, in order to have a better game experience in FPS games, this monitor has chosen 24.5 inches with 1080P in size and resolution, which is very suitable for players playing FPS games. It is difficult to collect all the information in the first time when the display size of shooting games exceeds 25 inches, which leads to some wrong judgments.
Shortcut screen settings
In addition to a good gaming experience, this monitor has another special feature. It is this mouse-like controller, which is officially called S-Switch. There are three buttons "1, 2, 3" on this controller.
The function of these three buttons is to switch three different display modes preset in advance with one button. Different games need different display modes to cooperate. If there is no quick switching mode, it will be very troublesome. S-switch can solve this problem perfectly. After setting the display parameters, press and hold the key 1, 2 and 3 for a long time to save the display parameters. When switching, you only need to press it to switch the display mode.
For example, in Jedi survival, there are two kinds of maps, island and desert, so as long as the parameters are set in advance, the corresponding screen settings can be directly adjusted with one key after entering the game. This is really a convenient and practical function for players.
In addition, XL2540 has a simple game mode menu. For players, especially professional players who often play different games, it is very necessary to adjust the OSD display mode conveniently. XL2540 has a simple game mode menu, and can quickly adjust the display mode of the display, which is made for players who are both entertaining and playing games. In addition to the color saturation adjustment and dark balance adjustment that can be quickly adjusted in the menu, the menu also contains several modes that can be quickly adjusted. Combined with the controller mentioned before, it can be said that the player can adjust the picture correctly when playing the game.
Summary:
From the price point of view, XL2540 is not cheap, although the configuration parameters and functions are very strong, but it also happens to prove the positioning of this product, professional, high-end e-sports display. Players’ demand for game equipment represents the trend of the market. Seeing this, many hardware manufacturers have gone to the road of developing e-sports equipment, and a large number of professional hardware equipment serving game e-sports have been born. Most professional players are basically not short of money. These players pay great attention to the comprehensive experience of the game process, and the requirements for hardware configuration are also extreme. Moreover, as far as the current development status is concerned, the proportion of these players is constantly expanding, and these players are undoubtedly a large-scale consumer group in terms of hardware manufacturers. For ordinary players, an e-sports monitor of about 2,000 yuan may be enough for ordinary games, but if you are an e-sports or FPS game enthusiast and want to get a professional game-level experience, then this XL2540 is still worth considering!
