Acer XF250Q not listed?

Post by sdw1337 » 03 Jan 2019, 07:18

Hey,

I wonder why the Acer XF250Q is not listed in the monitor list. Are there any issues with this monitor? I'm about to buy either the Acer XF250Q or the Alienware AW2518Hf since I can get each for about 250-260 € atm, while all other 240 Hz Displays are in the range of 350+ € . Most of the time I play nothing but FPS like cs:go, quake or some BF5. Can you recommend me one of those or maybe I would be better off spending more money for another monitor?

Usually, the list only lists monitors available in North America (but the links will automatically geo-locate to your country's Amazon store if you're in Europe). Also, the XF250Q had some frameskipping concerns which makes me slightly reluctant to list the monitor until I see current units no longer having frameskipping issues.

This post may be outdated in a few weeks or months.
But currently as of December 2018, I have heard more satisfaction reports involving AW2518Hf, so that is currently the unit that I recommend. Many Acer monitors have been fine in the past but for the "XF250Q versus AW2518Hf" situation, I would lean the latter at this time.

Hey,

thx for the answer. I did some more research and I found out that there are many issues with almost any 240 Hz monitor or that they are not much better than some 144 Hz monitors when it comes to input lag. The new 23,8“ Asus is considered as really good but 420€ here is too much for me for the „small“ upgrade.

I think I will stick with my iiyama prolite GB2488HSU.
