    Great gaming monitor just a bit dirty under the screen

    Great gaming monitor just a bit dirty under the screen
    I've had this product for 3 months and I must say as a gaming monitor this is Incredible. Top notch, and an obvious improvement over 144Hz panels. Now their's a bit more ghosting with this panel even on AMA = High than my previous BenQ XL2420TE at AMA = Premium which is kinda sad but isn't a big deal for me personally and still on par or better than most 120Hz+ TN panels.Now for the reason for 3 stars. I've owned this monitor for about 3 months and about ever 5-6 weeks a new spec of dirt appears under my screen. (I know this is dirt UNDER the screen do to it not coming off when rubbed with a microfiber cloth and that I've gotten 1 of them to move a couple inches by lightly tapping above it with a piece of cloth) It's quite annoying cause 2 of the now 4 (was 2 up until today) are big enough to block SEVERAL pixels.Currently in the process of RMAing my monitor will update my review (and rating) here in the coming weeks on the results of that.-edit-8/1/2017Got the response Today that they would like me to ship back my monitor for repair. Will be packing the monitor tonight and sending it tomorrow. (this would be a huge inconvenience if I was playing a game competitively as most games have match nights on Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Thursdays...) Luckily I am not, and also have a 144Hz monitor I can use until this is returned.8/10/2017BenQ Received the monitor on 8/8/2017 @9:17AM they're now shipping me a new monitor (or at least a different monitor than I sent them) as of 1AM 8/10/2017. I'm expected to receive this monitor back on 8/14 . I would say the timeliness of their Inspection and decision to send me a new one was was spot on 5/5, now the shipping on the other hand leaves more to be desired. I shipped the monitor on 8/2/2017 at 6PM which will leave me at minimum without my monitor for 11days and a handful of hours which for people playing eSports could mean missing 2-4 matches with their 240Hz, that being said it could be way worse and is better than some other parts I've RMA'd from other vendors. 4/5I will update this review again upon receiving the monitor, and will try to do so about a month or 2 after. If I don't assume the monitor is working fine.8/14/2017Received this monitor today at 10:45AM. First couple notes. New monitor has older firmware and was produced in Nov 2016 my original was Dec 2016 (not an issue for me). Came in a plain cardboard box rather than the original box style, also not really an issue especially since they resent all the add-ons and cables. Looks like part of the stand popped of during shipping also not an issue since it reattached appropriately. New Monitor does have 1 dead sub pixel, which I have mixed feeling about. On one hand I have a monitor that's in way better condition than the one I sent in and the dead sub pixel is within 1/8th inch of the top bezel just right of center (and thus perfectly fine imo), but on the other I did just send in a monitor with a similar issue to this and this one already has one. Now so long as no more pop-up in the coming months I'll be happy. (I've included a picture of the dead sub-pixel it's to the right hand side within the mouse cursor)I'm leaving my review at 3/5, I was planning on doing a 4/5 had this new monitor not had a dead sub-pixel, but I may up it to 4/5 if I have no more issues over the next 3-6 months.7/17/2018Monitor is still working well and no new dead pixels or subpixels have popped up in the 11 months I've had it. I've upped my review to 4/5.Would like to add that via the service menu this monitor is capable of blur reduction at 240Hz 1080p AMA = premium works well with the blur reduction, blur reduction on this monitor and other 240Hz 1080p monitors don't look right due to crosstalk, XL2546? with DyAc isn't as bad as this but it's still pretty bad. Will have to wait until better hardware and protocol standards are developed for Blur Reduction on 1080p+ 240Hz+ monitors.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you want to game BF5, love this monitor
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2019
    Something special about this monitor. I just love it, just the right screen size at 24.5", color on most videos above acceptable to even quite nice, super fast action, no lag. The quality of build is very impressive. I have nothing bad to say about this monitor. I would recommend setting the color while your in your actual game, not in the videos that come on while the game is loading. That's 2 different things. Once I set Battlefield V in the actual game play, I know it's right. Just my 2 cents. This monitor is a very unique experience and it's a very reasonable price for the results. I am not sponsored or reviewing for anyone but myself, I bought and paid for this out of my own pocket on Amazon who was awesome as usual. I love gaming on this monitor, I have other monitors for my work and videos, this is all about gaming for me. It's 1080p which is the most basic resolution and so it provides far less lag on any gaming system or console. The 24.5" screen is plenty of space for gaining an edge, any larger and your eyes start to wander, at least for me. I love, love, love this monitor, the flaps are simply the icing on the cake, the basic design and fingerprint resistant finish is amazing, the carbon fiber looking real side looks simple and shouts quality and longevity. There are 2 HDMI ports for my PS4 Pro and XBOX ONE X, do I love gaming, that's a sever understatement, I will invest whatever it takes to improve the gaming experience. This one checks all the boxes for me. Again, it's one of my 3 monitors, each one is different, it's all about the mood, but, I can't put this aside, it just feels right. I'm pumped, back to the Battlefield ladies and gentlemen, that's where all the fun and action is. Great Job Benq and Amazon, the ZOWIE XL2540,, this isn't about the absolute best colors, it's about getting in the game and having the best chance to excel. Again, absolutely love this monitor just the way it is, convenient, durable as all get out and faster than a banshee.

    Update 2019-04-11: I would like to provide an update to my previous review, I had contacted customer support and had dialogue back and forth to troubleshoot. BenQ support was very supportive and helpful in answering my questions and I eventually received a brand new monitor from BenQ.

    Great monitor, worth the money in my opinion, and great support to assist your needs. Cons are that it is a bit pricey compared to other monitors but the picture quality is unparalleled.
    _________________________________________________________________________________________________
    September/October 2019: The monitor is great, unfortunately mine shipped with a dead pixel in the center of the screen and it is very annoying as it is a very expensive monitor and i haven't had this happen before.

    I have contacted BenQ support and hopefully they can replace it for me, I have had life events occur after I purchased the monitor and haven't been able to test it until the last week, hopefully they will honor my warranty claim as the products are great and made of quality, unfortunately I received a lemon....
