“In short the Zowie XL2566K is a great monitor. Any FPS game I play is a breeze and the refresh rate is amazing I never have issues and I love the S-Switch. Going from 165hz to 360hz was such a great improvement. Overall great monitor. Would love to see what 540hz is like but I don’t have the money”

“So as for some context I ordered my Zowie on the 20th of June. If you order from Zowie personally you’ll most likely receive it within 5-7 days for FedEx ground shipping. But I think I would recommend ordering from Amazon if you have Prime especially since it will get there quicker and the packaging is better. Mine came in and it was a bit damaged and the seal was already cut. Now note everything was there the things inside were clean, secure, and work great.
Now here’s my review;
I originally come from using a 27” 165hz monitor from ASUS. It worked well for most games and had that refresh rate I needed. But I recently got more into competitive games such as Valorant or CS2 if I’m bored. So I started to save and once I got the $600 I ordered it. Day it comes in I’m jumping up and down, setup my new area plug everything in.
Side panels: The monitor comes with attachable and detachable panels on both sides. Now I think there light or glare protection but I have my curtains closed and my PC blocks the screen from any sun.
S Switch: Okay I didn’t think it was anything crazy at first but oh man that thing beats having to use then mini scroll behind the monitor.
Stand: The stand is really customizable and Im able to know where I last had it because there’s a notch that can be used to mark where you had it. It’s really personalized
The monitor and the performance alone: When I used my dad’s 240hz it was smooth but when I went home I got acclimated to my monitor again. So being able to play on this 360hz monitor was great. The amount of contrast that can be customized is impeccable. For a TN panel at first it’s horrible but get maybe Tenz (Pro Valorant Player) monitor settings (and NVIDIA control panel color vibrance if you have a NVIDIA GPU) it looks just like my 27” and not only that but brighter. I will say 24.5”-25” seems small but when it’s close to you on a desk it’s really not that bad.
Accessories: The monitor comes with its HDMI and Display Port (DP) cable and the power but also a tarp like cover to prevent and damage for travel or just in general. I’m leaving for a month so to prevent dust I put that baby on and I’ll be set. I will say it does run hot but it’s not a phone haha.
Anyway this is my review hope this helps comment any questions I’ll try and answer.”
