BenQ XL2411z (v2) and Asus VG248QE (with G-Sync)

[steel116]

Hi guys i got some few questions.

Im planning to buy new monitor, and im not really interested in changing it after 1-2 years, would like actually to stick with it, thats why im planning to buy 120/144hz monitor.

My main question is, benq xl2411z (v2) or asus vg248qe (with G-Sync) which of these monitors would be better? in terms of performance.

BenQ or Asus with G-Sync ? What's the difference in performance and which one should be better?

I can buy BenQ, but i cant upgrade it later to G-Sync, but if i buy Asus i can later upgrade it to G-Sync, so whats the difference after all? Asus with G-Sync? or normal BenQ XL2411z

They both perform equally: 144Hz, lowest input lag, same TN panel.
What you mean by saying performance?
I don't think you will be able to upgrade to G-Sync in future because market will be full of G-Sync monitors and G-Sync boards won't be on sale imo.

hey thanks a lot for responding

Adaptive sync and G-Sync are similiar functions right? that are made to delete tearing and sluttering?

I mean which of these 2 should be better (monitors)? I heard some people are getting tearing or other thing, that G-Sync or Adaptive Sync is eliminating. That means even tho if i dont want to upgrade my Asus VG248QE to G-Sync i can connect it to my computer via DisplayPort and have Adaptive sync ? because asus got Displayport, when BenQ XL2411z got only DVI-D Dual Link. I'am right? i'm not really experienced in monitors, and i want to spend my money wise, since i wont change monitor for atleast 3 years.

I dont know which one should i choose...

Yes and G-Sync is hardware method.

No. I guess you are talking about new VESA Adaptive Sync. Monitor needs to be compatible with this new tech. Both monitor aren't compatible with VESA Adaptive Sync.

May be you don't need G-Sync if talking about people that "are getting tearing or other thing".
May be you don't need BenQ Blur Reduction (BBR). Decide yourself what's bad for you. For myself I found both techs (G-Sync & BBR) useless because i play fast paced first person shooters with high frames per second rate and input lag is priority for me. I bought BenQ XL2411Z because it's cheaper and newer than Asus VG248QE and looking forward to 200-240Hz monitors.

G-sync adds input lag? so for playing CS:GO thats not really good?

Well, help me choose bro :X,

imo if you play csgo and you get >200 fps at your desired settings, you should just get the cheapest 144hz monitor that you're ok with (e.g. some would not be okay with vg248qe's pwm backlight). if for some reason you can't stand tearing in csgo, and i mean high-fps tearing, not 40fps on 60hz monitor tearing, then get a gsync monitor and run csgo with fps_max 128 or something. gsync doesn't add input lag on top of the irrelevant amount that capping fps adds.

if you play csgo and you don't get >200fps, you should upgrade your computer

i get easily 200-300 fps at CS:GO, so g-sync wont make difference? so i should just stick with cheaper BenQ XL2411z and just it would be alright?
