Chose 240hz monitor!

Post by Coatto » 09 Jul 2019, 02:19

Hi guys, I have to buy a new
240 gaming monitor, my main game are R6 and something cs go, apex and fortnite. I saw many monitors and i chose a list of 3 monitors,
Asus xg248q
Benq xl2546
Alienware aw2518hf.

I saw on this forum and others than asus and benq have strobing at 240hz and i think this delete from my list the alienware. Now I wanna know what is the better monitor, asus or benq? I heard somethings like the asus have better (less than benq) imput lag and risponse time? and it’s better asus extreme low motion blur or DyAc? I need it?
In general, what are the best monitor now?

I had Asus xg248q and BenQ XL2546 side by side for a week and when you enable Blur Reduction on Asus xg248q the monitor gets very dark, darker than I would personally call acceptable.

i disagree with blurboss about how dark it gets. i run it at 20 brightness without strobing.

i am just saying the screen getting darker with elmb on is very acceptable for me, i can turn brightness up with it on and i still never need higher than 45 brightness.

And u think your xg248q at high fps can be better with input lag and other things?

I had them side by side for a week and made my choice. Although I'm using XL2546 at maximum brightness all the time. Right now have KD25F side by side with XL2546. KD25F wins over xg248q in every aspect, haven't decided if I would keep it and would replace XL2546, as KD25F gets dark too (yet brighter than xg248q), providing better motion handling yet worse picture quality due to low brightness picture.
