Im getting the Dell S2522HG today, but I’m kinda regretting it..
There's no Viewsonic XG2431 in the UK.
What would you guys recommend ?(240hz and above)25inch max.
I play mostly CS:GO and I watch movies/series ocassionally, but CS GO performances is more important to me.
And Id like IPS panel with any Black strobbing option.
My budget is till 400£

Can I ask why? I have a 240 Hz TN monitor and a 390 Hz IPS monitor. I vastly prefer the look and feel of the TN panel but ultimately use the 390 Hz IPS for the faster refresh rate and lower latency. I would definitely go with the Zowie XL2566K in your position. Or you could go for the new ASUS PG27AQN 1440p 27" monitor as it is BY FAR the best performing IPS panel out with response times that finally rival fast TN panels. You could use it in the 25" mode.

I've heard a lot of people say that with TN panels they have more trouble seeing enemies because of the lower color gamut, especially in battle royales like Warzone. Since you have an IPS and a TN panel, is that true?

In my own experience I would definitely say that's not true. I do not think it's easier to see enemies on IPS. It is, however, certainly easier to see them on 1440p screens (I have one of those too).
