HELP - 1080p, 144Hz, FreeSync -250€ What monitor to pick?

Post by DuckyMarvelous » 10 Mar 2019, 02:35

Hello,
can somebody help me select my new gaming monitor?

1080p, 144Hz and less than 250€. I have 3 monitors I am looking into: the AOC C24G1 (VA panel / 3.97ms input lag), the Samsung C24FG73 (VA / 4ms input lag), the ViewSonic XG2402 (TN / 3.16ms input lag). I also heard of the BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P but don't know what to think of it.
All are Freesync since I use a Vega 56.

I would really like to have something as close to a CRT monitor in terms of clarity. I heard the Samsung and AOC ones had some strobe light effect which could help reproduce this, but I am not sure about it.

Edit: Why do I want to change of display? My Viewsonic VX2457-MHD feels very "choppy" (I think it's due to bad response time?) even though I am at 75Hz. It feels impossible to play some games like Devil May Cry V or Dishonored 2. It makes them horrendous to look at when the camera moves around.

Thank you for your help :D

Did you receive it yet? I'm curious what are your thoughts about it. It's also my ideal monitor on paper but I have also read it has problems with BLB, black crush and moving scanlines.
