No one?
I'm using Dyac Premium with AMA High, Black eq 12-15, Color Vibrance 10-15 (depending on preference), Sharpness 6 with TAA off (8 with TAA ON), Gamma 3, Color temp 98-100-100

I create the profile from Standard mode since it has the most accurate colors but I don't mind enabling FPS mode and tweaking only Black eq if I just want slightly more saturated colors.
OK thanks and what about lowest input lag possibile? Should I cap my fps at 240?

Lowest input lag would be Dyac OFF and Freesync off but you should ask yourself if -2ms of input lag is worth it over the perfect motion clarity that comes with Dyac ON.

I just enable Dyac and play with either a 240 fps cap or uncapped fps (depending on whether I end up saturating my GPU).
Dyac Premium + AMA High is what I use.

Btw I recently started using RTings' icc/icm profile with their recommended RGB values and contrast set to 35 and it noticeably impoved color accuracy.

Hi all -

Have a couple questions. I recently upgraded my old Dell 1440p 144hz TN S2716DG to a Dell 1080p 240hz IPS S2522HG (believe it's just the Alienware AW2521HF rebranded, but not 100% certain). I was a CS:GO player for a very long time but recently started playing fast-paced BRs such as Apex & Warzone. I'm having a lot of trouble with tracking player models due to motion blue and also visual recoil blur, especially in Warzone. I'm wondering if DyAc will benefit me and was consdering buying the XL2546K. Is there a minimum FPS that I need to hit with DyAc? I'm still on a GTX 1080 due to the current GPU market and average around 120 fps in Warzone.

Thanks in advance.

I have xl2546 , and imo DyAc is useless even if you get 240fps , some people may have no problem with crosstalk but I do , even motion blur reduction is so bad in this monitors , if you choose ama off you get very blury screen , if you choose high you get unacceptable amount of overshots

i have been using this monitor for 2 days on cod warzone, overall i find it good but frankly i was little impressed with dyac, i can't feel any difference in game between dyac off and on.
On the ufo test there is a huge difference between dyac on and off but on Cod I struggle to perceive it.

I had never tried the backlight strobing technology on any monitor before and if the benq is the best at this, my conclusion is that for me backlight strobing does not at all make this big difference that so many talk about, in my next ones. monitor will no longer be a feature I'm going to look for.
Overall I like the monitor, for sure compared to my 27 2k 144hz it is much more responsive and my performances have gone up a bit, but I'm curious to compare the benq with other 240hz full hd, in the next days I want to try the omen x25 and the vg259qm ...... let's see.

As for the colors and a step back to ips but honestly for an exclusive use in fps games it is not a problem at all, the only aspect I regret about my ips are not the colors but the minor detail of the full hd compared to the 2k, not a big difference considering that on 24.5 inches the pixel is less noticeable but when I have to aim a very distant enemy I lack the sharpness of the 1440p a bit

Be sure to report back with your thoughts after testing them. I'd like to hear what you have to say.

I wouldn´t bother with the VG259QM. That monitor is very slow in my opinion, no competition for TN. VG279QM is a different story

shouldn't it just change from size between 2?
