Re: Buying Help for Competitive FPS Monitor

Did you end up getting the xg2431? If so what is your opinion on it vs the aw2521hf? I'm currently trying to decide between the two but am concerned about the brightness of the xg2431 as well as other draw backs compared to the aw2521hf. Yes, I bought it and tried it and ended up returning it. Pers...

Re: XG27AQM vs. PG279QM

To anyone who might stumble across this thread and want closure or wants to ask questions: I ended up choosing the PG279QM. Once you’ve had some time to use it, I’d be curious to hear about your subjective experiences in motion clarity vs the modern 1080 panels that you’ve tried Monitor came in ear...

Re: XG27AQM vs. PG279QM

Oh, you're really worried about this. Don't be. Its only differences in very small details that you're paying with PG. In that case why not go with AW2721D instead since it can be found much cheaper. Also, I read some conversation where someone was saying that G-Sync compatible has much worse frame...

Re: XG27AQM vs. PG279QM

So does this only matter if one is using G-Sync then? Yes, variable OD only applies to G-SYNC. If you're playing with a fixed refresh rate, variable OD support won't matter on either display, and it wouldn't make OD performance worse or better with G-SYNC off (since it wouldn't apply). Ok, interest...

Re: XG27AQM vs. PG279QM

Does the variable overdrive make a noticeable difference versus the XG27AQM just left at, say, OD 3 for all Hz or something? I haven't seen the XG27AQM in person, but without variable overdrive and framerates below 240Hz in VRR mode, there will unquestionably be visible overdrive performance compro...

Re: XG27AQM vs. PG279QM

To my knowledge, both models have the latest 1440p 240Hz AUO Quantum Dot "Fast" IPS-type panels. I purchased the PG279QM late last year to replace my daily driver (5 year-old 165Hz XB271HU IPS), and all's good so far. The PG279QM is the best out-of-box experience due to the G-SYNC module, which as ...
