XL2720T Proves that 'Gaming is in the Details' for Professional Gamers
BenQ Corp., an internationally renowned provider of digital lifestyle innovations, proudly announced today that it would be expanding its professional gaming monitors, the XL Series, with the launch of the new XL2720T. Built upon the advanced technology of the XL Series — featured during the Intel Extreme Masters Season 6 and 7 — the XL2720T now comes equipped with a stunning 27” large view display, while partnering with the monitor’s
120Hz and blazing-fast
1-ms response time to ensure an incredible gaming experience. The monitor also comes packed with advanced custom settings, such as BenQ’s Black eQualizer, Display Mode and Smart Scaling to give players a competitive edge.
“As the official Intel Extreme Masters gaming monitor provider, we are proud to be the first brand ever to provide world-class professional gaming monitors to world-class gamers,” said Peter Chen, EVP and General Manager of BenQ Technology Product Center. “With newly-debuted XL2720T, we’ve taken all cutting-edge innovation and advanced technologies of our award-winning flagship XL Series, onto a stunningly generous view to bring gamers the ultimate gaming monitor. Now both professional and home gamers get to enjoy the upmost gaming pleasure.”
Preferred by tournaments such as Intel Extreme Masters, ESEA (E-Sports Entertainment Association), ESWC (Electronic Sports World Cup) 2012 Finals, G-League, Asia e-Sports Cup 2012 and ESL Pro Series in Poland, the XL Series was designed to handle the most demanding game plays within the diverse eSports spectrum. Users get to make a difference between victory and defeat from FPS (first-person shooter) games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and BattleField to popular console fighting games such as Mortal Kombat™, due to the intuitively equipped ultra-low
0.002-frame input lag that synchronizes action without latency from mouse motion.
Coming with
dual HDMI ports, the XL2720T is engineered to provide Full HD connectivity with all kinds of peripheral and console devices, including but not limited to the PS3, XBOX, Blu-ray™ players, PCs and cameras, allowing gamers to enjoy their digital entertainment effortlessly. The XL2720T features a
27-inch widescreen (16:9) Full HD LED screen, which uses LED backlighting for great color and low power consumption as well as a 12 million:1 contrast ratio for the best and most optimal in picture quality.
To give players a competitive edge, the XL2720T features BenQ’s
Black eQualizer to enable total visibility by allowing gamers to adjust the screen brightness without over-exposing white levels — revealing critical combat details with improved visibility in darkened areas. To accommodate individual viewing preferences, the
Display Mode allows gamers to switch between nine monitor screen sizes from 17" (4:3), 19" (4:3), 19"W (16:10), 21.5"W (16:9), 22"W (16:10), 23”W (16:9), 23.6”W(16:9), 24”W (16:9), 27”W (16:9), while the
Smart Scaling feature gives players the ability to scale the screen on-the-fly to virtually any custom size, without impacting controller sensitivity.
The XL2720T offers two variations to the preset
FPS Mode. While the FPS1 Mode configures and optimizes the display for Counter-Strike 1.6, the FPS2 Mode does likewise for Counter-Strike Source, as recommended by BenQ. With these specialized preset modes offering optimal brightness, contrast, sharpness, and color tint, gamers gain the advantage of being able to spot and track their opponents' every move.
The BenQ
Game Mode Loader of XL2720T, storing the gaming presets used by pro gamers and gaming legends, are available for various game titles, including Battlefield 3, Call Of Duty 3, Diablo 3, and Dota2. Users can install these exclusive presets and save them onto the
S Switch for quick access. The game mode selection is to be expanded over time.
The XL2720T is also a great choice for exciting digital entertainment. It is certified as
NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ 2 ready, and provides gamers with full HD 3D gaming and stereoscopic entertainment experiences like never before. For more a vivid viewing experience, the XL2720T also comes with the NVIDIA 3D LightBoost™ technology for up to twice the original screen brightness.
The new XL2720T is debating in Intel Extreme Masters World Championship Season 7 (March 5-9) in Hanover, Germany. Please visit
