BenQ XL2720Z

The BenQ XL2720Z is designed for gamers and loaded with features. It's a bit more expensive than a typical 27-inch monitor, but if extreme gaming performance is what you're after, it's money well spent.

Great port selection. Excellent gaming performance. Fast pixel response. 144Hz refresh rate.

Pricey. Finicky touch buttons. Narrow viewing angles.

Conclusion If you're a gamer who has spent a good chunk of money on a system with serious graphics chops and want a monitor that can display fast motion without ghosting, smearing, or lag, the BenQ XL2720Z is for you. Its speedy 1-millisecond pixel...

BenQ XL2720Z Monitor Review: A 27-Inch, 144 Hz Gaming Display

Many displays are marketed as gaming monitors. But only a tiny handful operate at refresh rates greater than 60 Hz. The BenQ XL2720Z sails along at 144 Hz and offers many gaming-specific features. Today we run it through our benchmark suite.

BenQ XL2720Z

The XL2720Z is a large, feature-packed gaming monitor that includes a motion-blur reducing mode, ultra-low input lag and even has a remote control for using the on-screen display. A step down from the higher-resolution, FreeSync-packing XL2730Z, it's a...

Excellent gaming performance ; Good ergonomics ; Loads of AV inputs ; Blur-reduction feature works well

Price just too high for resolution and image quality ; Doesn't have FreeSync

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Best display I've ever used for gaming!

I thought the screen size may be a little too big being a 27in and I wouldn't be able to cover the whole screen area very well. However that has not been the case at all I would easily recommend this size.

As the title says this is by far the best display/monitor I have ever used for gaming. It has the snappy response of an old CRT and while not quite IPS level color depth, it sill is very vibrant and does everything you need it to do. I have been PC and...

None, Ive loved it so far.
