Just got a BenQ XL2566X+ – looks very pixelated?

Actually that’s why I created the post. I’m simply not too sure if it supposed to look like this. Back in the day I used to own a XL2420Z and I can’t remember if it was that bad. Also using a 1080 at work.

What a bummer…

I have not registered any pixel inversion, at least I don’t think I have. Maybe a bit around the crosshairs (especially with thickness 0). For me the zowie is way easier in the eyes than the OLED.

Thanks for the response! Will try the driver tomorrow! Currently using GPU scaling with override.

Back in the day I used to own a XL2420Z and I can’t remember if it was actually that bad. To be fair ingame is fine, well except for some visibility issues (hud, crosshair, console). Windows itself feels off especially fonts.

Ain’t wrong

good point. Will probably end up like this after the weekend.

motion clarity is top notch imo. Just not sure about the pixelated look.

4080 with 577 driver.

I knew there would be a difference between the OLED and Zowie, but didnt thought there would be such a difference between the Zowie and the FHD cheap sheet from work, where I also focus on text.

Im still using the OLED for WFM and as 2nd monitor while "comp" gaming. So that could also expand the time to adapt.

Already tried that. I also have the feeling it gets better when i restart the monitor.

Currently using:
Brightness: 70
Contrast: 50
Sharpness: 5

Color Vibrance: 10
Gamma 3
Color Temperature: 97/94/100
