Best console monitor
Posted: 13 Feb 2015, 18:25
Hi everyone,
I'm very close to buying the XL2720Z as I am currently using a RL2455HM and I would like to upgrade.
Basically I also recently built a decent spec gaming PC that I'm wanting the extra Hz monitor for but for the most part I game competitively on PS4 and as I'm wanting a 120Hz plus monitor for the PC I'm also wanting something that will beat my current monitor on console..
My graphics card is a G1 GTX 970 so it can do G-Sync so my other option would be either the AOC G-Sync Monitor (no hmdi) if there is no benefit to be had from other montiors on ps4.. or alternatively I am considering waiting and saving a little extra for the new IPS G-Sync monitor out in march..
Anyway the main thing I'm interested in is the lowest motion blur possible on a HDMI output at 60Hz with the lowest lag time too, I am happy to use the strobe monitor function (which is why I've been looking at the XL2720Z) and I used to use a CRT until the PS4 rendered VGA unusable so I doubt the flicker will bother me as I'm assuming the 360 will have been 60Hz flicker through that? Also I have seen these HDMI to VGA adapters but have seen nothing about people using them to get a better console experience.
But what I dont know much about is the ULMB monitors and if these offer any advantage or even work at 60Hz as I cant find any info on them related to console or 60Hz..
Thanks for any advice, just wanting to avoid a big spend being wasted!
