Never had a blackout yet at 235fps 100 OD with the stock cable.
Hey Stevie,

I'm playing just CS and Valorant. But this monitor has too many overshot.

Can you tell me how to do 235 hz 100 od?
Also whats ur monitor profile and settings?

I just bought this monitor on the second hand market for 130 euro. It has the Qisda 2020_12_22 panel that's the good one right?

So what are the best settings for CS:GO? i just got this monitor.

I tried 120OD but maybe its a placebo but it makes my mouse feel way faster then the normal OD settings.
I use GPU scaling with Override the scaling ticked 1280x960 str

The Qisda is the one. Imo this is the perfect apex legends monitor if you cap it at 180 or 240 hz. Absolutely love the feel and look of it

I bought this monitor again after selling my first one couple years ago. I bought it new from Amazon Canada, manufacturated march 2023, panel AUO and I guess newer firmware (MCM203).

Image

So far the monitor is perfect, motion blur and input lag are very good as my old one (OD120), and I don't have the blackout bug when I switch the monitor on.

I bought it again because the monitor market is not appealing enough for competitive shooters, XL2566K is good but I had 4 of them and the coil whine is very bad. Oled monitors are too dim right now and too expensive. I came back to my former love and I don't regret rebuying it.

Now I'm waiting for 360hz/480hz OLED monitors, we'll see what we get.

"Great" message for owners, 144hz stuck bug appears even in CS2, not only CSGO... Appeared to me repeatedly and the game (and monitor) runs stuck at 144hz max until monitor is turned off/back on (win11). In windows 10 i expect the same scenario (quadruple reboot PC until it works again).

What settings do you use in CS2? I use the FPS mode, and the game is so bright and colorful that I can't see the crosshair properly.
