                The ASUS TUF Gaming VG258QM is a bit better overall than the BenQ ZOWIE XL2546K, but they're both excellent for gaming due to their similarly fast response times. That said, the BenQ is better for gaming at 60Hz because it doesn't have the same input lag and response time issues that the ASUS does at 60Hz.

                Re: ASUS XG258Q vs BenQ ZOWIE XL2546 Both monitors should be fairly equivalent in terms of performance (Fairly sure they use the same panel) and the major differences will be price, design, aftermarket calibration/features done by BenQ and Asus.Dec 5, 2017
