Our Verdict
BenQ ZOWIE XL2540
ASUS VG248QE
The BenQ ZOWIE XL2540 is better than the ASUS VG248QE. The XL2540 has a faster refresh rate, great for gaming, although not all computers will be able to benefit fully from this. The BenQ also supports FreeSync VRR. The Zowie also has a slightly better stand with a wider range of motion for adjustments.
