ZOWIE Introduces All-New XL-X Series Gaming Monitors XL2546X and XL2586X with Fast-TN and New DyAc 2 Technology

ZOWIE is pleased to announce the XL2546X and XL2586X gaming monitors featuring Fast-TN panels and exclusive DyAc 2 technology with new dual backlight design for clear motion and precision gaming. The all-new minimalist design for the 240 Hz XL2546X and 540 Hz XL2586X also provides comfortable ergonomic adjustability and convenient automatic in-game color mode selection via XL Setting to Share.

Continuing the mission to develop professional esports equipment and enhance the gaming experience for players to perform at their best, ZOWIE pays close attention to gamer feedback. Since the introduction of XL Series monitors in 2010, we have continuously upgraded our panel technology for clearer visuals, improved software control for convenient setting optimization, and enhanced the user experience for complete comfort. Our goal is to deliver features and designs that directly benefits players in competitive gaming, avoiding unnecessarily flashy designs that do not contribute to competitiveness.
Speed is one of the most important characteristics for pro esports displays. The all-new XL2546X and XL2586X monitors use the latest fine-tuned Fast-TN panel technology, which is well-known for faster response times than IPS panels, to provide clearer and sharper outlines of moving images. Our newly developed panel effectively reduces overshoot which is caused by aggressive liquid crystal overdrive under certain circumstances on conventional panels. The greatest benefit of Fast-TN technology is recovery speed from flashbangs, to see enemy outlines earlier.

XL2546X and XL2586X also come with new 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 utilizing dual backlights with greater precision control to achieve a higher level of motion blur reduction and ghosting minimization together with softened light output to facilitate eye adaptation. Compared to other motion blur reduction technologies, DyAc 2 brings clearer visuals with a more distinct and precise sense of control, which is especially helpful in targeting enemies during dynamic aiming, spraying, and rapid firing situations.

For the XL2586X, we added Vivid Color Film to enhance the color performance by 35%, primarily increasing your ability to distinguish enemy targets from the background and improving the color wash-out on conventional TN panels.

Both XL2546X and XL2586X feature all-new height-adjustable designs with industrial-grade high precision 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.

For maximum gaming convenience, ZOWIE features Auto Game Mode by XL Setting to Share software, enabling automatic color mode switching based on screen content to eliminate menu adjustments for optimal gaming experiences.

ZOWIE XL2546X and XL2586X are all about faster, dynamic motion clarity, user comfort, and gaming convenience. ZOWIE is committed to these principles with the goal of helping professional gamers achieve their best performances, because players are the real stars of the game.

Well...it appears to have wings, so does it fly or what ? /s

I'm gonna take a wild guess here, they are either fold-out speakers for some sorta immersive gammin sounds, OR glare/reflection shaders of some sort, cause I didn't see any mention of their actual function in the PR....

Not speakers they are to block outside light. Zowie/BenQ have been using them for a while. Similar concept to how a lot of pro video/photo editing monitors come with a shroud.

Yeap, I shoulda figured as much, but back in the day, they were called "Hoods", but those actually covered the top of the monitor in addition to the sides, for even more protection :D

Yeah and those make sense for pro work where color matters. Those are still around as well and a lot of high end pro monitors ship with them. Gaming no matter the level is a casual affair and more of a time waster and hobby than anything else. However if you are say a LAN center or another high activity place where crap is going on all around you and moving the side guards are nice. Of course if you are sitting at home in your office, bedroom, living room, or the most common for PC gaming your parents basement it's pretty silly.

It's not like they are really adding to the cost anyways. It's better to have them than not and while many companies do make shrouds/hoods for professional monitors they aren't going to bother with the gaming market so having the vendor pack in ones that fit their stuff is a nice bonus.

Maybe that's why the 540 Hz TN from ASUS has better colors than some IPS. And insane motion clarity + response times. Would take it instead of a 240 Hz OLED, any day.

There can be HUGE differences between panels, even in the same type. This is not a TN from 5-10 years ago, so how about actually trying them, before forming an opinion?
