Product Description
ZOWIE has always believed that esports equipment should be designed with players' needs and habits in mind. Since we launched the first XL monitor for eSports in 2010, we have worked on improving the XL series in ways that allow gamers to be more comfortable in-game.
The XL-K series that will help amateurs and pros alike be more comfortable in-game, allowing them to perform to the best of their abilities.
From the manufacturer
Native 240Hz Refresh Rate - Smoothness Experience
Catch every detail of motion and enjoy the fluid gameplay with the native 240Hz refresh rate, which ensures a smooth view of fast-motion and dramatic transitions consistently at all time.
Make sure your PC performance is up to par to fully activate 240Hz. Recommended video card requirement:
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 or better. AMD Radeon RX 480 or better
Enhanced adjustment flexibility
Fluid & flexible adjustment – More comfort in-game
We understand that each player has their own unique combination of monitor height and angle adjustment. With height adjustment & free tilt, players are able to setup quickly and conveniently resulting in a more comfortable playing environment.
Smaller Base – More Playing Space
New base is designed to take up less space while maintaining the same stability. This allows gamers more space in their setup for in-game movements and allows them the flexibility to make adjustments and play comfortably.
XL Setting to Share
Share your own settings with a teammate, friend or your fans. Save video profiles quickly and share conveniently through a simple user interface.
New menu interface
Customizable Quick Access
The change to the user interface is more than just cosmetic. The redesigned interface provides you the ability to customize which FPS settings you would like to access quickly via a quick menu and then allows you to access them with one-touch. Setting up before games or during rounds is now much more convenient.
Make visual adjustments based on your needs
Black eQualizer to increase visibility in dark scenes without overexposing the bright areas, Color Vibrance to adjust color setting and tone to differentiate enemy targets in-game, and Game modes to switch between presets for different game titles.
No compromise in durability for aesthetics
During the design process, durability was not sacrificed for aesthetics. The LCD panel is better protected through a frame design that provides added resistance on the sides. This is especially useful when transporting the monitors to LAN events or BYOC’s.

All of the attention to detail really gets me here as these small things really do impress: an arrow on the bottom of the stand arm and base to line up dead center, no labeling or buttons on the monitor bezel for a perfectly clean presentation (buttons are on the back and easy to reach), dust cover and side mounts if you want to get the optional shield.
Seriously whoever is in charge of your packaging and product design, you guys nailed it.
I'm coming from a ViewSonic XG270QG (1440P, 165HZ, 27" IPS) so I'm writing my review based on that transition.
I use this monitor for two things: Valorant (and other eSports shooters) and Excel, etc for work. It's for that reason that I was willing to sacrifice on pixel density (1440p -> 1080p), colors (IPS panel -> TN panel) and size (27 -> 24).
My experience gaming with this monitor has been overwhelmingly positive. The refresh rate is really amazing and there is a subtle but noticable difference in responsiveness. The motion handling is also great. Admittedly the colors and pixel density are pretty terrible but that is to be expected on a 1080p TN panel. I'm a bit disappointed in how little TN's have progressed since my last TN panel (Asus VG248H ~2012) but I have to admit that for the usecase of intense esports shooters, this is the best bet for most people. If you also plan to watch movies or play more cinematic titles but still need a high refresh rate, just get a 240hz IPS panel. I would recommend the AW2521H.
All in all, I am very satisfied.
Pros:
- Among the smoothest and most responsive monitors you can buy
- Good for hardcore gamers who value what these monitors have to offer
Cons:
- TN monitor is overall less clear, and requires specific viewing angles. If not viewed at said angles, parts of the screen appear to dim.
- I'd argue that the vast majority of people cannot tell the difference in response times that the TN panel provides over IPS
- I do not like this monitor for media viewing. It's really only good for gaming.
I will likely be buying another monitor in the future for regular internet browsing and media viewing as this monitor doesn't cut it. It's a specialized monitor, and falls short for general usage.
