Professional reviewers consistently highlight the XL2540X+ as the benchmark for motion clarity in esports, emphasizing its Fast TN panel, 280 Hz refresh rate, and features like Auto Game Mode and Black eQualizer that give competitive FPS players a tangible advantage, while noting the inherent TN drawbacks of limited viewing angles and modest brightness.
