The Best BenQ Monitor Settings used by Professional Players
Finding the best BenQ monitor settings can be quite hard and time consuming. That is why we have gathered these settings from Professional players. They don’t like cutting corners when it comes to their equipment and performance. It only makes sense that the pro players take great care to find out what the best BenQ monitor settings are.
Zowie by BenQ is by far the favorite monitor brand of most gamers. Pros like to have the best possible performance, so 99% of the professionals that we’ve analyzed are using a monitor capable of displaying 144 or 240 frames per second, i.e. a 144/240Hz monitor.
It goes without saying that getting a smoother image while playing can massively improve your performance. However, optimizing your color temperature, contrast, and so on are just as important. You want to make sure that you’re able to see your enemies in dark spots. That’s why you don’t want your brightness to be too low, for example, and on the other hand you don’t want to be blinded by bright light sources in the game.
Optimizing your monitor settings can help a lot with these sorts of situations. A lot of people don’t necessarily think about optimizing the settings of their monitor. Even if they do it can be quite a cumbersome and time consuming task to get it just the way you want it. That’s where we come in.
If you have ever wondered what BenQ Settings CS:GO pros use you have come to the right place. Since BenQ is by far the most popular brand when it comes to monitors we have decided to gather data on the settings that the professionals are using on their monitors, so you can have a baseline to work with and finetune in order to make it your own. You’ll be surprised at the difference this can make, so we wholeheartedly recommend taking a look at what the pros are using. It’s a great (and free) way to get yet another edge on your opponents.

ScreaM！ Some of the options aren’t, and did he have a low blue light?
These are all of ScreaM’s BenQ monitor settings that he has shared. He has his blue light on 0.
He also shared some other settings that are not that important but here they are anyway:
Brightness “100”
Contrast “59”
Low Blue Light “0”
Black eQualizer “12”
BlurReduction “OFF”
ColorTemp User Mode
Sharpness “7”
PictureMode FPS1
DynamicContrast “0”

Thanks a lot ☺
No problem. 🙂
DyAc setting?
DyAc is only available for the BenQ XL2546. These players have it on. 🙂
you have more input lag with dyac, they dont use it
Technically there is a minimal amount of input lag from DyAc, but if you play with extremely high fps (300 or more), it is negated.
What exactly do you mean by blur reduction off on some of these monitors? Like on the benq xl2546 there is no “blur reduction” setting, it’s either dyac or AMA, so when you say “blur reduction off” do you mean they have dyac and ama off or what?
DyAc reduces blur. 🙂
If you hold down the third from the right (ie x y power, x being it) button while turning on the monitor, it gives access to a manufacturer’s menu that allows you to enable blur reduction. Not officially supported, but present and functioning and fine.
Yes, the 2540 has a blur reduction option but they didn’t include it anywhere but it’s still accessible. Cool monitor.
Thank you for sharing this information. 🙂
On the color vibrance you can put this to 10 for people you don’t know because that is the default any lower it goes black and white.
Fixed, thank you! 🙂
Coldzera uses fps1 and all default he said it back in 2016 on a tweet we heard nothing since then I can tell you all the default settings here you go black eq 12 color vibrance 10 brightness 55 contrast 50 sharpness 7 gamma 2 color temperature bluish ama high

So do all Pros with the XL2546 have DyAc turned off???? Or do they all have it on? and if so, do they have it on premium or high?
Not all pros turn it off. Most have it on Premium. 🙂

S1mple’s Benq display has a standard color temperature or RGB is 100 (user-defined) – I found these two are completely different
In other words, whether the color temperature Settings in the s1mple’s benq display are standard or user-defined
That’s unknown. 🙁

BlurReduction “OFF” > they mean the DyAc settings for this monitor ? Cuz why should you buy an XL2546 whit DyAc and put it off ? buy then the XL2540 its cheaper and have no DyAc options….
DyAc and Blur Reduction are seperate settings. 🙂
I can’t find s1mple share monitor settings video(i mean Standard version).
https://www.twitch.tv/s1mple/clip/CrypticFriendlyTigerAllenHuhu?filter=clips&range=30d&sort=time
I find now.but he didn’t say low blue light is 7
and gamma is 3 now

Fixed s1mple’s BenQ monitor settings, thank you both! 🙂
s1mple benq sharpness is 10 btw :D, https://www.twitch.tv/s1mple/clip/TemperedAmorphousTermiteOneHand
Fixed s1mple’s BenQ monitor settings, thank you! 🙂
Do most pro players play with DyAc on? and what is the reason for turning it off?
It’s roughly 50/50 between the pros using and not using DyAc. Some pros think it causes input lag but that was already disproven. 🙂
Why on my monitor is darker than on coldzeras screen and i put your settings. I saw his last stream and i think he update his monitor settings. Myb im wrong?
He turns up the brightness in other ways. 🙂
felps?
Unfortunately felps’ BenQ monitor settings were never shared by him. Hopefully we can add them in the future. 🙂

am i crazy are does it seem none of them are using the display port? im using an older benq 1080/144mhz g-synce monitor (XL2420G). One of the first “g-sync 1080/144mhz monitors to come out i believe? Anyways i can not get some of these setting options when running off the display port. Options like ULMB,Color Temperature, and Gamma are all faded out for me, i can not tweak them. I have no “sharpness” setting at all. Im noticing some using the FPS1, and Gamer modes? When mine is in Gsync setting i dont have those “fps” and “gamer” modes to be able to select from. I do know that if i switched it from display port to hdmi that thats when i do see modes like “fps” to choose from. Which why im wondering/asking are they not using these monitor with display port? prob dumb question, i just cant wrap my brain around it.
i’m using display port and i have all of those options but i have the benq xl2411p which is a somewhat newer version which is probably why i have these options and you don’t.
which settings you have?
I have also benq Xl2411p and have some problems with Fifa
