ZOWIE Unveils New XL2566X+ Gaming Monitor Featuring Fast-TN and DyAc 2 Technology

EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS, 8 AUGUST 2024 – ZOWIE, the professional Esports equipment brand, is pleased to announce the launch of the XL2566X+ gaming monitor, the successor to the highly acclaimed XL2566K, the official monitor for major international competitions. The XL2566X+ marks the debut of the X+ series, incorporating new Fast TN panel technology with a remarkable 400Hz refresh rate for faster response times. This new model also features the latest DyAc 2 technology, ensuring exceptional dynamic image clarity.

Combining Fast TN and DyAc 2 technologies, the XL2566X+ sets a new standard for dynamic visuals in gaming. Building on the strengths of the X series, the XL2566X+ provides a higher level of comfortable ergonomic adjustability, while the updated XL Setting to Share feature allows for seamless automatic in-game colour mode selection.

ZOWIE’s Mission

By continually developing professional Esports products specifically designed for FPS players, ZOWIE has come to deeply understand their needs. Going the extra mile and paying attention to the smallest details is how ZOWIE gives players the best gaming experience and helps them achieve their very best.

Since the introduction of XL Series monitors in 2010, ZOWIE has continuously upgraded its technology for clearer visuals, improved software control for convenient setting optimisation, and enhanced user experience. The goal is to deliver features and designs that directly benefit players in competitive gaming, avoiding unnecessarily flashy designs that do not contribute to competitiveness.

Designed for FPS players — Optimised for FPS Games

The combination of fast TN panel and DyAc technology delivers best-in-class motion clarity, providing FPS gamers with a better overall visual experience. Images are clearer and sharper which reduces game interference caused by blurry images. At the preferred resolutions for FPS players (1280x960 for CS2 and 1920x1080 for VALORANT), TN's FHD delivers sharper images compared to QHD on other panels. A TN panel is the best choice for FPS players.

Fast TN Improvement for Esports

In contrast to the previous generation of TN panels, the new Fast TN panel has faster conductivity—liquid crystal response is faster which more effectively suppresses ghosting. The XL2566X+ has been meticulously redesigned to enhance colour performance, offering more vibrant hues and greater clarity in identifying enemies.

Latest Dynamic Accuracy Technology (DyAc 2)

XL2566X+ also comes with the latest DyAc 2 technology, ZOWIE’s dynamic accuracy mechanism for best-in-class motion clarity and superior overall visual experiences. DyAc 2 is a significant upgrade to DyAc/ DyAc⁺, now utilising dual backlights with greater precision control to achieve a higher level of motion blur reduction and ghosting minimisation together with softened light output to facilitate eye adaptation.

New Auto Game Mode Automatically Adjusts Colour Modes

The XL25666X+ features Auto Game Mode by XL Setting to Share™ software which automatically switches colour modes among different games and usage scenarios. This reduces the hassle of continuously making adjustments to achieve an optimal match of the content with visual performance.

Industrial-Grade Bearings for Height Adjustment

The XL2566X+ features height-adjustable designs with industrial-grade bearings, allowing gamers to set the ideal position on the fly, gliding without stuttering or over-adjusting. This helps players complete their setup in the Esports arena in the shortest time possible, empowering them to quickly enter a focused state for the competition.

The new XL2566X+ will be available for pre-order starting from August 15. For more information. please check the ZOWIE website and stay tuned to social media in your region.
