Would appreciate suggestions for my first 240hz monitor.

Post by fowteen » 01 Jun 2020, 10:34

I am looking to purchase my first 240hz monitor and there are quite a few options to choose from so I am not sure which one would suit my needs best and I think you guys could give some good recommendations for my needs.

I mostly/only play competitive games such as fortnite,csgo,valorant,overwatch etc at 1080p so I would prefer the monitor to be ~24 inches as I heard that is the most optimal size for it. I am not too concerned about how good the colour reproduction is, I am just looking for good performance so low response times and input lag. I am also looking for the monitor to be freesync + g-sync compatible because I am currently using an amd gpu but will be upgrading to a nvdia gpu in the near future. I probably will not be using motion blur reduction modes however it is something I would like to experience as I have never used a monitor with a strobed backlight so having that would be a plus but only if it has minimal strobe crosstalk.

I hope that is enough information to make some suggestions. I know that newer panels will have better performance in these aspects however I don't know how to look for only recent monitors as most websites don't have a filter for that so if anyone would be able to help with that also it would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Same here, following thread for recommendations. Right now I’m mostly trying to choose between XG270, MAG251, and XL2546S

If you don't mind me asking, why isnt Acer's XB253QGXbmiiprzx on your list too?

There's a big thread about 240Hz IPS monitors, you can start there. I got a 280Hz IPS, but maybe that's too fast for you, since you specified 240?
