Design

Coming to the design of the monitor, well the BenQ XL2411Z sports a simple design. The company did not work much on the design. However, it still manages to give us a stylish look.

The border over the display is quite thin. You can see the monitor buttons placed at the bottom right. The buttons are easy to press, you do not have to struggle much to use the monitor buttons.

Apart from this, there is no such thing that we could mention over here. Overall the monitor looks okay when it comes to design. You will not get amazed also you will not get much disappointed.

Connectivity Options

Talking about the connectivity options, there is no such thing to mention. As a computer monitor the BenQ XL2411Z sports all the basic connectivity options such as HDMI, DVI-DL and D-sub ports. However, the BenQ XL2411Z gaming monitor does not offer a DisplayPort connection and that can be a pain in the ass for many gamers out there.

Although in the end, it all depends on your need, if you do not need a DisplayPort connection then you are good to go with the BenQ XL2411Z gaming monitor. Just in case if you want the DisplayPort connection port then the monitor is not the ideal option for you.

Also, the monitor is quite easy to move around, as it comes with a great viewing angle. You can also place the monitor in a horizontal way. However, to do so you better follow the user manuals shared with the Monitor box.

Features

Talking about the features the monitor comes with motion blur reduction mode for extra clarity throughout the game. The Motion Blur Reduction technology by BenQ helps offers ultra-smooth, blur-free gaming experience.

The blur reduction mode actually helps in the action-packed FPS games where every millisecond counts. With the mode, gamers do not have to suffer from time and gaming comfort that causes poor vision quality.

The monitor also comes with low blue light just to protect the eyes of the gamers. With the adjusting blue light feature, gamers can adjust their viewing comfort. The gamers do not have to purchase a yellow glass for longer gaming. The monitor also sports the Zero Flicker technology. The technology offers eye comfort and elevates the gaming experience.

In the end, there is the FPS Mode. The FPS mode was co-developed with the gaming legends just to offer fundamental insights of pro gamers. This feature automatically adjusts your monitor calibrations to provide you optimal brightness, contrasts, sharpness and rich colors.

It will be super easy for you to sport the enemies and track their movements. The FPS mode comes with different variations, one of them is the FPS1 mode.

The mode is designed to configure and optimize the display for Counter-Strike 1.6. The other mode is the FPS2 mode. The mode is recommended for Counter-Strike gaming.
