r/Zowie

Just started play competetive r6 and i have a 27 inch oled. But what i have heard about dyac it seems to be way better for games that need clarity. Thanks in advance

Thinking about buying a new monitor, since I mostly play fps shooters (cs2 and ow2). I currently have a 280hz Tandem Oled, but I feel like it doesn't benefit me.

The options are:

ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP 540hz (used) - 600$

Benq Zowie Xl2566x+ (new) - 750$

Benq Zowie Xl2566k (used) - 450$

My pc specs are: 5070 and 9800x3d.

Zowie has started producing very low-quality products in the last few years. I bought gsr se rouge 2 2 months ago from maxgaming. Started to wear down from the edges. It has a muddy spot in the middle. Tried to clean with zowie recommendation but nothing works. I still use my 3 year old gsr se rouge and having zero problem. Bought ec2-cw when released and it had qc issues. Side flex, cracking when pushing mouse1 etc… ended up returning it. Before getting ec2-cw, I had a ec2-c. Everyone knows its problem. It had disconnection problem because of the cable. Replaced like 3 times and still had the same problem. I really waited for za12 wireless but maybe it is time to leave zowie.

I only play cs Should I buy 400hz now or wait couple month for the 450hz Pc can handle it

my rig:
ryzen 7 5800x
rtx 4060ti
aoc 25g3zm 240hz va

I wanna switch to zowie 2566x+ but i dont have that high of a 1% lows. Is it still worth it?

I play only cs2 and my fps are about 300-400

idk if I should add anything more

i have a xl2566x+ i am on console for now im on ps5, i just need some help to set up the monitor for the best response and most clarity etc, i dont play comp but winning is my fun if yk what i mean, so could anybody help? i seen a vid by zowie they said fps3 was the best picture mode for fortnite but that was 5 years ago so im kind of confused on what to pick now

Hi , for the past 5 years i have been using the fk1-b mouse and i wanted to upgrade to the wireless verision . Which one should i get the fk1dw or fk2dw ?

Hello, I play cs2 a lot, I used 4 zowie monitors, XL2430 (144hz no dyac), XL2441K (144hz dyac), XL2546 (240hz dyac) and now I upgraded to XL2566K (360hz dyac+).

This is just my opinions and experience, 144hz zowie with dyac is better than cheap 240hz monitors.

So going from 240hz to 360hz I would say its not worth it. I think the difference is way to small (maybe its even just placebo for me), I feel like the game is maybe MAYBE like 5% smoother.

I believe some people can tell the difference better going 240 to 360+hz, but I dont believe anyone telling me you can see any difference going more than 360hz, I really dont get the point of these 500-600 and now they will release even a 1000hz monitor?!

I'm switching from Laptop to PC so i need a monitor and Zowie monitors seem to be the best for competitive players. I know colors and viewing angles aren't the best, but I think I'd rather sacrifice that than motion clarity or risk if pixel burn. So the only question left for me is if i should go with the 280hz or 400hz variant both have dyac 2. The price difference is 140 - 150 eur which feels too big, but at the same time anything under 360hz feels outdated nowadays, because when i buy something i like to keep it so it has to be future proof. I know I'm probably not gonna be a better player just, because 1ms frame time difference, but it's also easier on the eyes when the screen is smoother.

I primarily play CS2, but i also play other shooters, casual games and also do work and watch YouTube. I don't need perfect color accuracy as long as color are vibrant.

So essentially, I have been playing on a 240hz 1080p and upgraded to a 240hz 1440p monitor due to my friends telling me that the image clarity on the 240hz 1440p monitor will help a lot for competitive games like Valorant and also that just the colors are so good. So I did and although it was quite nice with the colors and the image quality for a while especially since the monitor is somewhat big (27. something inches), I just feel like I want more performance. My PC is mid to high tier. I have a Ryzen 7 7700x, 32gb DDR5 6000mhz, RX 7800x, so I feel like performance would never be an issue.

I also exclusively play competitive games and I mean literally exclusively. I basically haven't touched a single player game properly in years and I'm not too interested in playing single player games at all and if the games I do play aren't competitive, they'd be like roblox or some like coop game with friends in which I literally could hardly care less about frames or performance or anything if I somehow even struggled with it.

I'm thinking about copping a 360hz or higher hz Zowie monitor when I get enough money to but I just mainly want to know if DYAC 2 is even that big of an upgrade. Also I heard from some people that the monitor is too small which I wouldn't really want as I atleast would like a medium or large sized monitor

I also REALLY like squeezing every bit of performance out of a pc such as lowering as much input lag and going into the files or downloading some tweaks etc. so if the monitor even if the input lag is a bit better than a 1ms monitor then that does encourage me a bit. I also really don't care for colors unless its so bad that it affects me on a competitive stand point, but I also don't want to just buy the monitor for fun like I do want to know only buy it if it is a big upgrade competitively

If I do upgrade, I literally have no idea with the differences between Dyac, Dyac+, Dyac2, Dyac 3 except that the general consesus is the newer the better. The only thing I do know I want is that the Hz be 360 or above.

TLDR; I exclusively play competitive games, I have a good pc and want to upgrade from a 240hz 1440p monitor to a 360hz Zowie monitor but I want to know if it's worth it. And if I do upgrade, monitor recommendations since Im very new to this Zowie stuff

I play only cs2 and almost use my pc for cs2 purpose, i play forza once a week to complete weekly missions and thats it. I dont watch anything or use my pc for any other purposes, just cs2. I have currently samsung g6 27 2560/1440 240hz va, and 7800x3d 5070. I am not thinking of oled since its much more expensive where i am and i dont need it. Price wise the msi 610hz and and zowie 400hz same price, but the asus rog ace is $360 more expensive, the 600hz zowie is $530 more expensive. I play cs2 everyday and i am going to play couple more years, which route should i go? More hz or dyac2?

Do you think Zowie will release an FK1+-DW?

I've seen people asking Zowie on some forums. They said the Zowie team's response indicated that there might be some problems and uncertainties regarding this shell. There were also some doubts about whether the minimum production requirements (related to low demand for the shell) could be met.

What are your thoughts? Or do you have any information? There aren't any 1-to-1 clones on the market. Perhaps the closest shells are the Razer Viper and Darmoshark M3, but the FK1+'s curves are different. Do you think a DW will be released?

Hello
What monitor should i go for?

I mainly play CS2 on low res

5800x3d
9070 XT
64GB 3600

The XQ is around 900€ and the XL is like 600€

I know it plugs into the enhanced receiver, but how can that charge the mouse overnight if it requires the PC to be on? Sorry if this is a stupid question.

is this a must cop? i have an rtx 5080 and ryzen 7 9800x3d so i think i can utilize it. i was looking for a cheaper zowie originally but saw this on my local marketplace and feel like i should buy it

Hey, i’m trying to find the stock black skates for the ec2c. Anyone know where to find them? The website says out of stock. I don’t wanna buy aftermarket skates from other companies.

Thanks in advance
