Weight (without stand) 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg)

Weight (with stand) 12.8 lbs (5.8 kg)

Width 10.2" (25.9 cm)

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has great ergonomics, and the stand can easily be placed in the ideal viewing position or turned to share your screen with someone.

Wall Mount VESA 100x100

The back is plain, with no quick release for the stand, and no RGB bias-lighting feature. There's a clip on the back of the stand for cable management, but it's pretty basic.

Borders 1.0" (2.5 cm)

The borders are thicker than most 24 inch monitors we've tested. This isn't a great choice for a multi-display setup.

Thickness (with stand) 6.8" (17.3 cm)

Thickness (without stand) 2.6" (6.6 cm)

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has okay build quality. The exterior panels are all plastic, and the plastic itself feels easily breakable.

Picture Quality

Native Contrast 849 : 1

Contrast With Local Dimming N/A

Like most TN monitors, the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has a disappointing contrast ratio. This causes blacks to look gray, and it's especially noticeable in a dark room.

Local Dimming No

Backlight Edge

Update 01/13/2022: We changed the backlight from Direct to Edge after confirming it's edge-lit.

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P doesn't have a local dimming feature. The above video is provided for reference only.

This monitor has decent gray uniformity. There is some dirty screen effect in the center of the screen, but this shouldn't be very noticeable with most content. The top of the screen is noticeably darker due to the mediocre vertical viewing angle.

Native Std. Dev. 4.683%

Std. Dev. w/ L.D. N/A

Unfortunately, the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has terrible black uniformity. There is noticeable clouding in dark scenes, and this may be distracting in dark scenes in a dark room.

Color Temperature 6,880 K

White Balance dE 3.99

Color dE 3.96

Gamma 2.50

Out of the box, this monitor has mediocre accuracy. There are some noticeable inaccuracies in most colors and in brighter shades of gray, and the color temperature is a bit cool. The biggest issue is gamma, which doesn't follow the sRGB target curve at all, so most scenes aren't displayed at the correct brightness.

Picture Mode Standard

Luminance 100 cd/m²

Gamma 2.16

After calibration, the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has much better accuracy, but there are still a few issues. It wasn't possible to completely correct the color inaccuracies, but gamma is much closer to the target curve, and the white balance is almost perfect.

This monitor has an excellent SDR color gamut. It has nearly perfect coverage of the standard sRGB color gamut used by the majority of desktop content, but limited coverage of the wider Adobe RGB color gamut.

There are no signs of temporary image retention on this monitor, even immediately after displaying our high-contrast, static test image for 10 minutes. This can vary between units, though, so let us know in the discussions below if your unit shows signs of image retention.

Color Depth 8 Bit

This monitor has great gradient handling. As it can only display 8-bit colors, there is some noticeable 8-bit banding.

Pixel Row Error 0.003%

Pixel Column Error 0.005%

There is no noticeable color bleed on this monitor.

Screen Finish Matte

Total Reflections 4.5%

Indirect Reflections 3.3%

Calculated Direct Reflections 1.2%

This monitor has good reflection handling, similar to the ASUS VG248QE and the Acer GN246HL, so glare shouldn't be an issue in most rooms.

Pixel Type TN

Sub-Pixel Layout RGB

This monitor has decent text clarity. We strongly recommend running the Windows ClearType (top photo) wizard if you're on a PC. There are some font issues in apps that don't support ClearType.

Motion

Best Overdrive Setting Off

Rise / Fall Time 7.2 ms

Total Response Time 12.2 ms

Overshoot Error 0.0%

Dark Rise / Fall Time 4.9 ms

Dark Total Response Time 7.9 ms

Dark Overshoot Error 0.0%

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has an excellent response time, resulting in clear motion with only a short blur trail behind fast-moving objects. The level of overdrive can be adjusted by changing the AMA setting. We recommend the 'Off' setting. 'High' has a noticeably faster response time, but there is significant overshoot in most transitions, and 'Premium' is even worse.

Best Overdrive Setting High

Rise / Fall Time 2.6 ms

Total Response Time 26.2 ms

Overshoot Error 11.7%

Dark Rise / Fall Time 1.9 ms

Dark Total Response Time 20.1 ms

Dark Overshoot Error 14.8%

When dropping down to a 60Hz refresh rate, the overdrive behavior changes significantly, and the response time is significantly worse. With the 'High' AMA setting, which we recommend, the rise/fall time is excellent, but the total response time is terrible, and there's noticeable overshoot. This can be seen in our response time pursuit photo. The trailing darker pixels are caused by the slow response time, and the white lines behind that are inverse ghosting caused by the overshoot. Switching to the 'Off' setting removes the overshoot, but the rise/fall time is significantly slower, so instead of white trailing inverse ghosting, you get a long blur trail behind fast-moving objects. If the response time at 60Hz is important to you, then check out the ASUS VG248QG, which has a much faster response time at 60Hz.

Flicker-Free Yes

PWM Dimming Frequency 0 Hz

The backlight is completely flicker-free, even at low brightness levels, which is great.

Black Frame Insertion (BFI) Yes

BFI Maximum Frequency 144 Hz

BFI Minimum Frequency 60 Hz

There's an optional black frame insertion feature, known as Blur Reduction, and it's available even at low refresh rates, like when gaming on a console.

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has an excellent native refresh rate, but it doesn't support any of the variable refresh rate technologies, like AMD's FreeSync. If you want a monitor with VRR support, check out the Acer Nitro XF243Y.

The BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P has outstanding low input lag, even at 60Hz. For the lowest lag possible, it's recommended to enable the Instant Mode setting from the 'Picture' menu.

Power Supply Internal

Update 02/15/2022: The HDMI port is limited to HDMI 1.4 bandwidth, not HDMI 2.0. This makes no difference in the capabilities of the display, as the highest bandwidth format it supports fits within the bandwidth limitations of HDMI 1.4.

The review incorrectly stated that the HDMI port supports HDMI 2.0 bandwidth. It's actually limited to HDMI 1.4.

Features

Multiple Input Display No

This monitor has very few additional features. There are a few gaming features, including a black equalizer feature that adjusts gamma to make it easier to spot objects in dark scenes.

The controls are easy to use, but there's no directional control, so it can be a bit more difficult to navigate the OSD.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the 24 inch BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P, which is part of BenQ's ZOWIE lineup, but is the only size available. The XL2411 (non "P") is a different monitor, with slightly different connectors. We don't expect our review to be valid for it.

If someone comes across a different type of panel or if their ZOWIE XL2411P doesn't correspond to our review, let us know and we will update the review. Note that some tests like gray uniformity may vary between individual units.

The BenQ XL2411P we reviewed was manufactured in July 2019.
