Re: Asus XG258 Questionable Overdrive
Posted: 12 Jun 2019, 05:49
I've been comparing my stable of monitors (ViewSonic XG2402 & XG240R, LG 24GL600F, Asus PG278Q) to the XG258Q over the last week across UFO Motion Test, gaming (Apex Legends) and Aim Lab.
It is ridiculous how much better my performance metrics are in Aim Lab with the XG258Q. I'm consistently posting sub 325 ms reaction times with 85-90% accuracy in SpiderShot Speed. It feels so easy.
With my other (144hz) monitors I can post sub 350ms in the same SpiderShot test but accuracy suffers and it takes a lot of concentration and focus to achieve.
I can see and feel a difference between 144hz and 240hz. XG258Q simply feels more connected to my mouse inputs. It feels like the information at my crosshairs gets updated faster and more frequently. It is objectively faster for me.
The only other monitor I've tried which compares in terms of raw Aim Lab performance metrics is the Zowie XL2546. I only got rid of that monitor because I wanted VRR.
If the XG258Q had better overdrive I think my search for a monitor would be over!
