What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the X11L is exceptionally bright, with rich colour in bright scenes and very little blooming, and RTINGS rates it highly for gaming. Tom's Guide found motion handling short of the best and the price very high; RTINGS found the built-in speakers disappointing, where Tom's Guide rated them well, and its calibration controls couldn't fully correct colour.
