About this deal

The white point also saw its maximum deviance towards the bottom of the screen, approximately -178K from the center white point.

Unfortunately, display luminance isn’t quite as good, with a fairly large offset of around 20% in the first quarant for all but the highest brightness settings.The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area.

If the buttons aren’t to your liking, you always have the option to resort to the included S-Switch, which allows faster OSD operation. The only knock-backs (hence the 4*) were: as stated above the horrible 'out the box' experience when trying to view anything as the colours were so washed out and off; and the unnecessary blinding bright purple BenQ logo screen that comes up when you turn on the screen. I went through a series of calibrations on the XL2430T to achieve an approximate 6500 K color temperature, and took some measurements of panel uniformity. The XL2430T sports a slightly different design than its predecessors, the BenQ XL2420T and XL2420TX . Unfortunately, there isn’t a way for me to currently quantify the amount of input lag at refresh rates greater than 60hz.After applying the ICC profile, the color temperature measured 6495 K, just 5 points shy from the standard 6500 K. These questions could be answered better by the literature or software, but eventually you should figure everything out and enjoy a very customisable setup. In normal day-to-day use, the deviations in both backlight and color temperature uniformity shouldn’t affect your enjoyment of the screen. Only the setup was a slight pain as out the box it was horrible (from a viewing perspective) but I knew this was the case anyway prior to setup so came prepared. The picture mode contains a large option of display output types with different contrast, and color intensities that can be selected according to your current activity.

Add in BenQ's own Blur Reduction technology and you can nearly eliminate all screen lag for an improved overall gaming experience. Use the Display Mode and Smart Scaling together to get the possible view for any application or game. Most displays have the ability to be tilted forward and backward as to provide a more comfortable viewing position for the user.I’ve been very naïve in the past when it comes to monitors but this has single-handedly made my game feel so much better than before. The only thing that we won’t recommend here is the Motion Blur Reduction feature as it lowers the brightness of the display tremendously to a very uncomfortable state. They mention that it's a fantastic monitor, with good quality graphics for games and excellent 144Hz screens.

Screen menu is so easy to navigate and the tool you get with the scroll wheel is great for doing this. The first thing to remember is that neither monitor supports G-Sync technology, so if you’re an Nvidia user looking for an end to screen tearing, check out BenQ’s brand-new XL2420G instead. It also comes with a mini-USB connector to connect the S-Switch, two microphone jacks, a headphone jack, and two USB 3. Information about the available connectivity ports, slots and interfaces such as USB, infrared port, SD card slot, audio/video and network interfaces, etc. If you've chosen to block third-party cookies on your browser, your cookie preferences won't carry over from benq.I do think I can probably spend some extra time tweaking them to suit me more but I’m basing this on my past experience with monitors straight out of the box. On the XL2720Z, and now the XL2430T, it is imperative that you enable this function to get the best gaming performance out of the XL2430T.
