Best Monitor for CS:GO

Post by boxszs » 17 Aug 2019, 13:45

So every CS:GO player swears by the BenQ XL2540 but I am wondering what the BEST possible monitor is for CS:GO at 240Hz. I have been seeing the XF252Q as the best one but I am not sure. What is the best? I'd like to buy it this weekend since its tax free weekend.

Without the availability of the Omen X 25F I'd say this XF252Q

There are mixed opinions on what test methods are best between review sites like TfT central, and RTings. RTings has done a review for the Omen X 25f while TfT has done one for XF252Q. I don't know enough between the two different testing methods but I'm a little more confident that both monitors are using the same panel and that the differences mostly come in how the company implements their electronics. I'd say in the end they will probably be very similar in performance with differences close to margin of error type numbers.

Just did a search for the Omen X 25 and came across a simple observational review. The review was dated May 14th 2019 and it said it will be released early September this year, but at $550, and the Omen X 25F will be $450, lol. I would definitely go with the XF252Q. Heck, I might even pick one up now, now that I know the price of the omen
