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

BenQ XL2720Z review

This gaming monitor bests its rivals on the notion of motion

1ms response rate ; Crystal clear image ; Adequate video inputs

Finicky touch buttons ; No built-in speakers ; Super pricey

The BenQ XL2720Z is a lightning-quick, premium gaming monitor that will serve any FPS fan well, bar none.

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.
