Monitor for Xbox One and PC

Post by Tyrese » 13 Nov 2016, 09:06

Hello, I'm looking for monitor/tv for Xbox One and PC, mainly for games. A few days ago I bought BENQ RL2755 and already refunded this because it has a lot of ghosting and it's very uncomfortable for me, I was trying to change AMA for off/premium/high but one by one makes it worse. I can spend for that something around 300£ and what you think guys, what's gonna be better for PC/XBOX; monitor or tv? All I need is playing smoothly without any ghosting and shit like this.

You are probably better off buying a cheap 144hz 'gaming' monitor from Acer and Asus because no one really makes 60hz low latency gaming monitors from what i've seen besides Benq and the Benq one are pretty bad from previous experience.

ASUS VG248QE is decent monitor. But I'm not sure how it performs at 60Hz.

Acer GN246HL is bad decision. Asus VG248Q is better for 144Hz and 60Hz for sure.

I don't know.
All these monitors are basically the same, anyway.
If all you care about is 60hz you might as well get a monitor that can give you more options, like backlight strobing.

As far as overdrive, the VG248QE (Tracefree=60) and the Benq XL2720Z have near perfect overdrive without strobing, but the XL2720Z requires exploiting a firmware profile bug to get it. After exploiting the profile bug, it will look comparable to the VG248QE with tracefree=60. If you can handle messing with profiles and setting blur reduction on then switching profiles to make it work, the XL2720Z will probably make you happy. The overdrive is atrocious by default with blur reduction disabled (looks worse than MBR On+AMA Premium) if you don't exploit the profile bug.

We can't tell you what's best. It's up to you and you only, based on what features you want.
