I dont know what Monitor to choose

Post by dosanss » 13 Mar 2024, 02:42

Hi, im new here but i've been reading some of the forums in here without registering before. Pardon me for poor english.
I'm seeking a suggestion from this forum.

I mainly play apex legends 90% of the time at 240+fps stable

Right now im using dell s2719dgf & xl2411p as my primary. This monitor is setup using CRU at 2304x1440@120hz, i clone to my 2nd pc for streaming. And i cant use 144 because the stream will not look smooth/fluid. This is when i decided to buy a 240hz monitor since 240 is divisable by 60.

On december 2023 i bought a new xg2431. Im using without ELMB because the brightness is just wayyy to dark. Now here's a very subjective problem that i've experienced:

1. AFAIK this monitor is rated as #1 in 1080p240 with IPS, so im having a pretty high expectations when i bought this.
2. As it turns out, i dont have a good experience using it.The image is fluid, smooth, but it doesn't feel good. I dont know why, but i can't see the enemy as clear as before. Yes it shows 240fps, but somehow My xl2411p & s2719dgf feels more natural to me even though i set those at 120hz. I can track enemy better, i can play longer, and i noticed that i have watery eyes when using the xg2431. I have tried my friends XL2546k and XG248Q which both use TN and i can confirm that those 240 doesnt feel like the XG2431.
3. Sadly it has panel defects from factory (there's horizontal lines accross the screen) and in February 2024 needs to be RMA (havent received the replacement unit until now) and im back using my s2719dgf. After i received the unit, i'll resell them.

In the meantime, i'm looking for a new 1080p240+ monitor, and i really want to make IPS works but i got dissapointed with xg2431. Based on reading on this forums, here's my candidate :

XL2546X - 240hz - TN - $635 --> still pretty expensive for a damn TN. i like the how the xl2546k perform, the 'X' should feel similar right? By going this route, i should be pretty satisfied.
or
Asus XG259QN - 380hz - IPS - $477 --> will put this on 360hz mode if bought. Should this perform better than the xg2431?
or
Save for PG27AQDM - 240hz - OLED - $1170 --> thats expensive just for playing apex considering our average salary in my country is $250/month and i need to buy 4090 for 240+ stable ...

Thank you!

Which country do you live in? and which store/website do you plan to purchase the monitor from?
