Re: Asus Rog Strix 24.5 XG259CMS


Coming from a Benq XL2420T 120hz 1080p TN. Would this be a significant upgrade or should i look for something else?. However this monitor is like 1cm shorter than mine so it might mean my head would be looking a tad bit more down (I know i could buy a wall arm, but...)

Also, is "Clear type" on ...

Re: Asus Rog Strix 24.5 XG259CMS


its small black lines around the letters


These are Windows ClearType artifacts. I've mentioned this quirk in my post about the monitor previously, and have since not found a reliable enough of a fix other than disabling CT entirely or setting it to Grayscale via BetterClearTypeTuner. One other ...

Re: Asus Rog Strix 24.5 XG259CMS


Don't buy it, I bought it to compare it with my vg259qm and the monitor has an excellent performance but all benefit is ruined by its VERY aggresive coating (is like oil layer effect)

To be honest I noticed that too after I switched from my VG279Q, but after a while it's not that bad at all ...

How many years ( approximately ), will xg259cms last? I got a nightmare from the VG249QM1A which only lasted 1 year even though i took care of it well.
It's a futile question. Look up the concept of bathtub curve and then... hope for the best? That's how it's always been with tech, more or less.

Re: Asus Rog Strix 24.5 XG259CMS



HI Synth, if i already have the vg259qm is a good idea sell it and buy the XG259CMS? here the cms is 120 dollars more than the 259qm.

Not a good idea, opt for 1,5x or 2x refresh rate upgrades or significant PPD upgrades (24" 1440p or better) at same or better refresh rate
Take a look at 360 ...

Re: What will a fine PC's latencymon result look like?


measured in nanoseconds

The way I see, there are only flawed testing methodologies at the moment and just because it is widely accepted that microseconds of delay is imperceivable doesn't make it true.


Have you tried the Latency Split Test by ApertureGrille? I struggle to perceive a ...

Re: What will a fine PC's latencymon result look like?

Am I correct in assuming that you guys are obsessing over the tiny portion of the input latency chain, measured in nanoseconds , in the hope of reducing input lag?

Should I just go for the 259qm instead?
I personally don't regret skipping the 259qm or 259qm1a for this one.
