Competitive gamers grinding titles like PUBG and Fortnite face a fresh hardware option when BenQ Zowie releases the 27-inch XQ2766X QHD monitor, cnet.co.kr reported. The display marks the brand’s first QHD gaming monitor specifically targeting battle royale titles.
Performance and Visual Features for Battle Royale Games
The XQ2766X combines a 27-inch screen, QHD resolution, a 360Hz refresh rate, a Fast TN panel, and DyAc 3 residual image reduction technology. This combination aims to provide visual clarity in titles featuring expansive maps and long-range engagements like PUBG, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Delta Force. The high pixel density of the QHD resolution supports distant target acquisition, while the 360Hz refresh rate and DyAc 3 technology help maintain clear vision during rapid camera movements.
The monitor includes customized features designed to minimize visual interference caused by dark elements such as magnetic fields or gas zones in battle royale matches, helping players distinguish characters from backgrounds. It also retains traditional Zowie features including Black Equalizer and Color Vibrance, which users can adjust through an intuitive user interface.
Connectivity and Ergonomic Stand Design
For user convenience, the XQ2766X introduces the ‘ZOWIE Sync App’, allowing users to save personal monitor settings on a smartphone app and apply them instantly via Bluetooth. Additionally, a ‘G Sensor’ feature detects and displays the monitor’s tilt angle in real time on the screen.
The hardware design incorporates a bearing-equipped height-adjustable stand supporting a wide range of height adjustments and up to 35 degrees of tilt. The stand base is streamlined to minimize interference with peripherals like keyboards and mice.

The flagship 27-inch XQ2766X joins the previously revealed 24.1-inch XQ2566X in the new Zowie XQ series lineup. The XQ2766X is available through domestic online and offline retail stores in South Korea, backed by a 3-year free after-sales service warranty.
