Following the widespread success of the first generation XL Series, BenQ welcomed back legendary Counter-Strike gamers to bring the XL Series to new heights.

This out-of-the-box preset automatically adjusts your monitor calibrations to provide you with optimal brightness, contrast, sharpness and color tint. Being able to spot your enemies and track their move carefully in every situation put you at an advantage over your opponents.There are two variations to this special mode: the FPS1 mode is designed to configure and optimize the display for Counter-Strike 1.6 and the FPS2 mode for Counter-Strike Source as recommended by BenQ.

Went to my friends house with this monitor. amazed how good BF3 looked when it was at 120hz. Colours were not as good as a IPS though but that is to be expected. Highly recommend if you have the money to go for this

One of the best gaming monitor's out there, I noticed there was no input lag, and I love the black equalizer:D, as a counter strike source player myself, those dark spots piss me off, but with this option, they can never hide again.
