I'm not sure personal insults are in the spirit of this forum.
Claiming a product to be the "Bestestest evur" in a given category without any evidence other than a questionable claim that you've tried the competing products and that your brother has the one product I found to be better performing throughout my testing "at his place" shouldn't be "in the spirit of" a forum revolving around rigorous testing done by oneself or a reputable source either.
With that said... sure, if you feel the need to write replies in a condescending tone, just because you felt offended by me, pointing out the ridiculousness of your baseless claims then go ahead and do so.
I've been playing competitive twitch shooters on pc like CS, AVA and Quake for more than a decade now, and I went through playing on CRTs like the IBM p275 @160hz and fast LCDs like the Benq XL2411Z... so I think my judgement is just a
tiny bit more credible than yours, but oh well.
Not to mention, it's not like I've just sat down before either monitor in question for half an hour over at my relative's "place" who
supposedly owns the monitor to play some Battlefield 1 (or something even less motion clarity demanding) on it...
I, myself, have tested both monitors, which included playing CS:GO and checking how different AMA and strobing settings looked both ingame and on the testufo ghosting test for 10+ hours on both monitors.
From that experience I can conclude that motion on the Benq XL2740 appears more clean than it does on the LG 27GK750F-B.
That applies to both sample-and-hold and strobed operation.
The difference is really obvious in sample-and-hold operation,
while it shrinks when using strobing on both monitors, but even when using black frame insertion, the Benq has a slight noticeable edge in ingame motion clarity. (Not so noticeable on the testufo ghosting test though.)
When I finally get around to edit and upload my video review on the xl2740, people will be able to compare tftcentral's testufo ghosting shots of the LG with mine on the Benq and see the difference.
The other fact/problem that makes the LG inferior compared to the Benq has been (luckily for me) proven by tftcentral themselves, so there's no need for me to try and prove it...
that problem being high signal processing lag, when compared against other high refresh rate, or even fast 60hz screens, which in turn also makes the monitor feel more sluggish ingame, even compared to my old XL2411Z, not to mention the really snappy XL2740 or AW2518HF.
As for tftcentral claiming that this monitor has the best blur reduction at 240hz... I've just went through their review again, but I can't find them writing that anywhere...
and even if they did write that, it deosn't mean anything until they have tested the XL2740 as well.
