Best monitor for Quake playing with decent colors?
Posted: 06 Apr 2017, 11:19
I play QW and QL. Im looking for a 144hz, 1080p, 24inch monitor.
I will not be enabling anything that adds input lag (such as Freesync, G-Sync or Motion 240 for the LG)
I've narrowed my options down to these ones:
Viewsonic XG2401
LG 24GM77
LG 24GM79G (to be released)
That's pretty much it.
I've discarded all the BenQ ones. I've heard those 2 monitors beat them in every department and got better colors.
The ROG SWIFT PG248Q is also discarded, i've heard the colors are bad, and the input lag is pretty much the same im practice (not noticeable). The 240hz monitors i've heard have terrible colors, also im not able to get stable fps higher than 125fps in QL in other modes that aren't duel (maps too big and too many models and my computer is from 10 years ago)
C24FG70 also discarded because I dont like the curved monitors.
So the Viewsonic vs the LGs:
The Viewsonic apparently beats the LGs on every department including color, when set to "user mode" according to this:

Also, note how apparently LG somehow managed to fuck it up and release a new monitor that's worse than the old 24GM77:

Someone told me this and im confused tho:
Anyway I hop you can help me decide. My head hurts from starting at my 60hz laptop. The monitor I was using (2233rz) broke. The 2233rz was the first 120hz flat panel ever I think, so I hope whatever I end up buying is an improvement. The colors were bad specially coming from a CRT. I don't expect good colors in a TN but I hope things have gotten better with the year. I also don't expect a lot more smoothness from going from 120hz from 140hz but hope that it's less blurry etc.
Thanks

Does this mean that the XG2401 will be more blurry? what is "Blur Reduction" exactly? is it one of those things that add input lag? (which I hate)The XG2401 has FreeSync and the 24GM77 has Blur Reduction - the 24GM79G has both
