Experience Gaming Like Never Before with the Finest, Smoothest and Fastest Display Performance
The XL2730Z is built to exceed your expectations with performance-driven features a professional gamer could ever hope for.

The smoothest motion and maneuverability are made possible by 144Hz refresh rate, a blistering fast 1ms GTG response time, and Motion Blur Reduction. All fast-moving action and dramatic transitions are rendered smoothly without smearing or ghosting. So every movement made can be displayed simultaneously on screen. The fastest response time is enabled by VESA Standard Adaptive-Sync, which is incorporated into the XL2730 to support all Freesync-compatible AMD Radeon™ graphics cards to deliver a stuffer-free performance.

Precise Control: Take Charge of Your Gaming Destiny
The XL2730Z is meticulously developed to optimize the gameplay from optimized visibility to color precision and tailored user experience. There is the proprietary Black eQualizer color engine technology, which maximizes visibility and preserves critical details by brightening dark scenes, and the 20 levels of Color Vibrance settings that meet gamers’ specific viewing requirements and preferences for all genres of games. For a customized viewing experience for in-game simulation or personal preferences, there are the 8 screen sizes of the Display Mode (17”/19”/19”W/21.5”/22”W/23”W/23.6”W/24”) to choose from and the Smart Scaling feature to further fine-tune the screen size. This customized viewing experience is extended to the hardware design of the monitor, with the adjustment scale designed to mark down gamers’ unique monitor settings so the same experience can be delivered each and every time. Last but not least, gamers are free to access a wide selection of gaming presets designed by legendary gamers and use them to their advantage with the Game Mode Loader.

Intuitive Experience: Gameplay Made Ever So User Friendly
BenQ has incorporated several features to build the friendliest gaming experience. The Display Pilot offers convenient on-screen display adjustments and instant access to various features. The Auto Game Mode automatically detects the genre of game being played and matches it to its preset color setting. The Game Mode to Go feature lets gamers save their screen settings and import them to another PC via a USB flash drive or Cloud at a different location. Furthermore, there is the S Switch. Sporting a round, compact look, this hardware gear offers a better grip and an auto key that enables quick switching between auto game modes and customized modes.

Gaming Eye-Care: Added Eye Comfort for Long Duration of Gameplay
To safeguard gamers’ eyes from the exposure to harmful blue spectrum lights and eye-discomforting flickers, the XL2730Z is built with BenQ’s Low Blue Light Modes and Flicker-free Technology to reduce blue spectrum light emission and eliminate flickering at all brightness levels, reducing potential eye damage and physical discomforts in exchange for a more comfortable gaming experience.
