BENQ 27 INCH XL2720Z FLICKER-FREE GAMING MONITOR

The XL2720Z from BenQ is flicker-free, implying it has an LED backlight which does not employ pulse-width modulation. Majority of monitors cut down their output by cycling backlight at high frequencies reaching up to 20 kHz. This could at times manifest as flicker to users who are more sensitive. To combat this anomaly, one can either power backlight using direct current or increase the frequency of PWM. The voltage remains constant, while the backlight does not get cycled, regardless of the brightness setting used. As such flicker is impossible even at minimal levels of setting.

Blur reduction is a second main feature, which simply refers to backlight strobing. It functions in similar manner as NVIDIA’s LightBoost technology, where backlight gets turned on and off in-between frames. This minimizes blur inherent to sample-and-hold on-screen display technology, just as for LCD.

You can use the XL2720Z from BenQ along with any kind of graphics card and not just one enabled with LightBoost. If Blur reduction is not employed, each image frame stays onscreen till the next frame gets rendered. This incidence is different than plasma or CRT displays that develop darkness in-between frames. It all occurs at 60 times per second and over, to keep the eye from perceiving the flicker.

Smoother motion resolution is the outcome instead. The main side-effect then becomes reduction in light output. Just as the VG248QE from ASUS along with other high-speed monitor types, the XL2720Z comprises twisted-nematic (TN) panel. Along with its variants, In-Plane switching (IPS) has made significant strides in majority of image quality aspects, except for speed. The reality today appears to be that users desiring low input lag and fast response have to employ TN.

Bit-depth is another critical point to consider. The BenQ monitor utilizes six-bit native AU Optronics panel having frame rate conversion algorithm for creating perception of eight-bit output signal. This works considerably well in practice. Making use of a six-bit panel ends up reducing input lag and response time appreciably and BenQ includes a bit more welcome features in their XL2720Z in order to cater to the needs of gamers.

The XL2720Z is built for competitive FPS gaming and delivers explosive fast-paced gaming thrills to a 27-inch screen. This monitor comes equipped with contemporary GROM or Gaming Refresh rate Optimization Management and Motion Blur reduction technology. In addition there is Gaming-comfort Flicker-free ability, Low Blue Light as well as Display Pilot feature for delivering agile performance, viewing convenience and comfort all in one.
