Next-Level Battle Royale: ZOWIE Launches XQ Series, Redefining Esports Monitor Standards

[Eindhoven, The Netherlands, July 2nd], 2026 – ZOWIE today announced the launch of its new XQ esports monitor series, featuring XQ2566X and XQ2766X, a lineup purpose-built for Battle Royale competition. Engineered for expansive maps, long-range engagements, and fast-paced firefights, the XQ series sets a new competitive display standard for Battle Royale games by combining New QHD Fast TN panels with its latest DyAc 3 motion clarity technology.

5v5 FPS titles are built around smaller maps and frequent close-range engagements, where fast and consistent motion is critical. In contrast, Battle Royale titles such as PUBG, Apex Legends, and Fortnite take place across large, complex environments, where players must identify and track distant targets under constantly changing conditions. These differences create distinct visual demands—requiring both clear detail to preserve distant targets and stable motion to maintain consistent tracking. To address these demands, the XQ series introduces a Battle Royale-focused solution, combining QHD resolution for enhanced visual detail, 360Hz for fast and responsive motion, and DyAc 3 to reduce motion blur and keep critical visual information visible during tracking.

“With XQ series, we are extending ZOWIE’s legacy in FPS through continuous research and technical development. Battle Royale is redefining how players engage with large-scale, dynamic environments, where visibility and focus directly impact decision-making and outcomes,” said Ajen Liao, Head of Business Unit, ZOWIE Brand. “At ZOWIE, we have long been committed to developing purpose-driven products for professional players, grounded in close collaboration with professional players and a deep understanding of competitive scenarios. We have seen a growing need for enhanced visibility across large-scale environments. By combining Fast TN, DyAc, and QHD, this setup delivers improved visual clarity, enabling players to perform at their best.”

Optimized Visibility for Battle Royale Gameplay

The XQ series debuts Color Filter, developed based on ZOWIE’s research into Battle Royale gameplay scenarios, where gas zones or poison circles create dense color overlays that make opponents difficult to detect. It reduces visual interference while preserving the natural look of the scene, improving character-to-background separation and enabling faster target identification in critical situations.

Built for Tournament Readiness

The XQ series minimizes setup time and help players maintain consistent performance between practice and competition. With ZOWIE Sync (app) and NFC Tap-to-Share, players can instantly load and synchronize display profiles across compatible monitors. A built-in G Sensor enables precise tilt and level detection, while the industrial-grade bearing stand enables accurate height and angle adjustments. ZOWIE’s exclusive quick-install Magnetic Hood provides players with a more intuitive setup and minimizes the risk of damage in professional tournament settings.

A New Competitive Display Standard

Available in 24.1-inch (XQ2566X) and 27-inch (XQ2766X), the XQ series allows users to choose the screen that best suits their setup and competitive needs. With a 360Hz refresh rate, it delivers smooth and responsive visual performance. Built on ZOWIE’s continued refinement of Fast TN technology, the XQ series brings Vivid Color Film into its QHD models, maintaining consistent color performance across the lineup. Combined with DyAc 3 technology, it delivers best-in-class motion clarity. Together, these innovations deliver the precision and control required for consistent performance in demanding Battle Royale scenarios.

The XQ2566X is expected to become available across Europe in the early second half of 2026, followed by the XQ2766X later in the year. Recommended retail pricing is set at €949 for the XQ2566X and €1,199 for the XQ2766X.
