Benq XL2411P (144hz) or Samsung Odyssey G4 (25" 240hz)?

Post by srmatyha » 04 Feb 2024, 18:05

Hi guys! I'm new here and totally bad on the subject of monitors. I currently have a Benq Zowie Xl2411P (144hz) and I ordered myself a Samsung Odyssey G4 (25" 240hz). I only play at +-high level in Valorant and occasionally rest in Apex/CS. Would like to know 2 things from you guys.
1. Is the Samsung Odyssey G4 even good for competitive gaming when budget is limited?
2. Or maybe it makes sense to cancel the Samsung order and just overclock the Benq to 210hz? (I've seen a lot of people do that, but I'm not sure if its other advantages besides HZ will be preserved)?


p.s. if my Samsung option turns out to be better, but there are tweeks that need to be done after receiving it, please report them! Thanks guys

I think the Odessey is better overall, and the only tweak I can suggest to you is to disable VRR in the control panel on the PC (Nvidia Control Panel) and enable it in the OSD of the monitor, for some reason the latency is a bit lower at those settings (upd. And in some cases, these settings help avoid overshooting). Also, dont use extreme latency mode as it has an overload issue, just leave it in standard mode. You can learn more about this monitor on the rtings website

I tried everything and the truth is I dont feel it is a better monitor than the 144hz Benq XL2411, the Samsung has more ms and when it moves quickly the view looks blurry, I already tried all the possible configurations and nothing
The vrr thing on my pc does not appear, I mean in settings and graphics
Do u have the samsung g4? thx for answering
