Our Verdict

BenQ ZOWIE XL2540

ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q

The ASUS ROG PG279Q is much better than the BenQ ZOWIE XL2540. The PG279Q has a higher native resolution and larger IPS screen that has much better viewing angles. While both support VRR, the ASUS uses NVIDIA's G-SYNC technology whereas the BenQ uses AMD's FreeSync technology, so it's important to match the monitor with whichever graphics card you have to be able to get the most out of either monitor.
