- Is there any specific settings to get the most out of 235 Hz @ OD100? settings here https://i.imgur.com/6hEllMd.png

- i think i was maybe getting some weird stuttering tying 235hz via the QFT calculator in CRU, was a weird refresh rate like 235.002hz or something

- I'm currently using this 235 Hz with exact reduced timings in CRU and it's seriously insane

- this just extended the life of my 3080 with this monitor specifically in mw2 (even the forced TAA doesn't feel as blurry anymore), some of the recent patches tanked my fps from the low 300s in mw2 to like struggling to maintain low 200s. (crazy bin 10900k oc and tuned 4x8 bdie 4300mhz etc)

- also feels like a lot lower input lag now because capping at 220-230 fps lowers gpu usage a couple percentage points i guess in mw2, so it's a win win

- OD100 @ 235 Hz seriously feels like it maybe has variable overdrive, i have no ghosting 1-235 fps, where i noticed so much ghosting on od120 even with 250-277 fps with any shadow boost setting and od80 and od60 just didn't feel right, this od100 235hz feels almost comparable to 240hz dyac or something.

- it's so nice having a single overdrive look good throughout the whole refresh range for games like WoW in the main city hubs when fps is lower than max hz for example.

- im not even using the 10 bit color mode, but it does feel like the colors or contrast are maybe better now and now im realizing that 280hz had a lot of color banding or something.

- im genuinely seeing clarity and details in smoothfrog that i just never saw before even w/ dyac 240hz or the 182hz tweak and there's no tearing or crosstalk.

- offtopic: i gotta be honest tho im kinda skeptical on vsync w/ freesync, i keep goin back and forth and that one, every game feels heavier and input laggier, i can regularly hit 110-125 in kovaaks 1wall5target_pasu but it's nearly impossible to hit 100 w/ vsync and fps capped 20 below max hz, however freesync + vsync noticeably improves my tracking so maybe i gotta use vsync in long ttk tracking heavy games only. (tldr: think i noticeably prefer jsut gsync on vsync off w/ an fps cap 7% below max hz)

- little rambly, but im super stoked about 235hz od100

I did buy VG259QM yesterday and it was amazingly crap. I did compare it to X25 f - severe ghosting, washed out colors, 2 dead picels, bad ips glow, loose panel frame...

As someone said earlier: DO NOT BUY ANYMORE! If you find new or used one with Qisda then maybe buy.

Panel type AUO M250HAN01

That's weird.. this is mine, bought ~3 months ago. Guess i got lucky?
No dead pixels, no inversion artefacts, rather unnoticable IPS glow.
I actually like it more than my XG249CM, somehow..

OD120
No Sync
Racing Mode
Shadow Boost 3
Brightness 100

i think these are my final 235hz od100 cru settings: https://i.imgur.com/JMa0g40.png

i used the vertical calculator on the 280hz setting, then i lowered the vertical total 7 points from 1309 to 1302 to make it a nice round number, hopefully this doesnt cause any issues - it seems like od100 performs weird when ur not exactly on 235hz.

@axaro1
Hello, if it’s not difficult, tell me the best settings for 240 Hz and 280 Hz, I’ve been trying to set up the monitor for about a month and I don’t understand how it’s more convenient for me and what to get used to. Settings are needed to play Valorant, FPS is on average 200-300. Sorry, if not everything is clear, used the translator.

I'd stick to 280hz OD120 Adaptive Sync OFF.
