When I use the monitor with AMA function , its leaves a shade when scrolling the page, when turning OFF the AMA , the shadows issue doesn't happened. Is there any advice you can provide?
That is Overdrive/Response Time Compensation (RTC) function in RL/XL series. This technology is based on applying an over-voltage to the liquid crystals to motivate them into their orientation faster. We will usually quote a "grey to grey" (G2G) response time figure on displays using this technology since they are normally the fastest transitions available.

Since an official response time spec is not available anymore, what other response related spec should I check if I’m comparing your monitors with models from other brands?
There is always a trade off between overdriving the panel to make it faster which results in bad display quality. XL series fully leverage the panel fast response, but also considering an optimized setting for the overall experience. It is suggested that you can check other user's sharing on website, or test it by yourself in person which would be ideal.

As I can't get the official response time spec now, which actual response performance is faster? XL2546K or XL2546S? Specially in some store website shows XL2546S response time is 0.5ms, and XL2546K is 0.5ms~1ms, does it means XL2546S is faster?
On ZOWIE website, we didn’t show response time to XL2546S and XL2546K as well as all our XL & RL series. The reason is: there is no universal measurement standard to response time in the industry, which means: every brand have a different condition to claim response time, and this means that the response time (whatever number we claim) will not help customer to have a reference when making a decision.
