Product Information

This gaming monitor weighs 18.3 lbs - important to know if you’re taking it to live events or college. The color of this monitor is Dark Grey. The maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC. One of the more notable changes is the addition of more ports in this model. There’s a slot each for DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0, plus two HDMI 1.4 slots on the panel. To compare the original XL2411 only had HDMI 1.4 and DVI-DL where 144Hz operation was only possible on the latter. There are no speakers on this but assuming that most esports players use headphones, this is something that I can easily agree didn’t need to be on.

The stand that comes with the BenQ XL2411K allows you to adjust the tilt, swivel, pivot, and height to your liking.
