Key Features
144Hz TN Panel for Competitive Play
The 27-inch Full HD TN panel runs up to 144Hz over DisplayPort or DVI Dual-Link, keeping motion sharp for fast-paced games. The HDMI port is limited to 60Hz at Full HD, so use DisplayPort or DVI-DL to reach the full 144Hz refresh rate. Brightness is rated at 320 nits typical with a 1000:1 static contrast ratio.
Black eQualizer and Color Vibrance
Black eQualizer brightens dark areas without washing out bright scenes, helping you spot opponents hiding in shadow. Color Vibrance offers 20 levels of colour intensity so you can tune the image to your own eyes. Flicker-free backlighting and a Low Blue Light mode support longer sessions in comfort.
Fully Adjustable Stand and VESA Mount
The stand raises 140mm, tilts from -5° to 20°, swivels 45° in each direction and pivots a full 90° into portrait orientation, so the screen can be set to match your desk and seating position exactly. A 100 x 100mm VESA mount is also built in for arms and wall brackets.
Detailed Specifications
Specifications as published by BenQ/ZOWIE for the XL2731 (zowie.benq.com), supplemented by BenQ's official support FAQ and warranty pages. Response time in milliseconds and a UAE-specific warranty duration were not confirmed on an official page and are left unstated here.
Need-to-Know
- BenQ's US warranty page states 3 years from the date of original purchase; UAE-specific warranty terms were not found on an official page and are not stated here.
- Some retail packaging bundles a DisplayPort cable instead of a DVI Dual-Link cable, per BenQ's own FAQ; only the power cable is confirmed as standard box content.
- BenQ's general ZOWIE FAQ mentions FreeSync Premium/G-Sync compatibility, but this was not confirmed on the XL2731's own spec table, so it is not stated as a confirmed feature here.
