If competitive gaming is your top priority, especially fast-paced games, then the BenQ XL2566K with high refresh rates and quick response times will serve you well. But if you prioritize high-resolution and sharp images for tasks like photo editing or enjoy HDR gaming and media, you'll benefit from the Innocn 32M2V's superior screen resolution and color performance, despite it being typically pricier. The BenQ falls short in productivity and media consumption where the Innocn excels, thanks to its larger screen and better color accuracy. Choose the BenQ for dedicated gaming or the Innocn for a more versatile monitor that excels in both work and play. Give Feedback

Tech Radar

Nick Ross | August 2023
"It’s not for everyone in the same way that a top fuel dragster isn’t everyone’s perfect daily driver. The BenQ Zowie XL2566K succeeds in delivering the fastest, sharpest and smoothest display for pro FPS players and that’s all it wanted to do. Its other limitations and premium price tag mean it’s a bespoke tool for a niche market, rather than another general gaming monitor for those who like playing games."

"Whlie not perfect, the Innocn 32M2V is an excellent HDR gaming monitor if you want a 32″ 4K high refresh rate display – just make sure you’re familiar with all its flaws. If you’ve been waiting for a 32″ 4K high refresh rate gaming monitor with proper HDR support, the Innocn 32M2V is the first model available at a reasonable price."
