then,cost more for little more clear image but sacrifice all colours and money,maybe not worth it...upgrade only if u are competitive focued only and wan t the best and fastest monitor for competitive


master u think is worth it sell my g7 for this xg2431?i m with 32",ppi 1440p 32" and 1080p 24" are the same

I dont know. You dont like the g7 or something? I am not into 32" monitors for gaming so... My pick would be the xg2431. I would pick the xl2566k if it were in the $350 price range for sure, but benq has crazy pricing for their monitors. $600 is way to much for a tn panel. Theres nothing special about the monitor except for dyac so, youre literally paying $300 extra for one "feature".
yes 32" too big for 1440p and competitive gaming...make resolution difference soo tiny...then for you if i grab xg2431 is worth it?i have found 2nd hand xl2566k for 450 euro and xg2431 new for 350...but i m scared to tn panel,sacrifice too muchj quality only for dyac,maybe xg2431 is not as clearer and brighter but have better colours,and i can use it without purexp whenm not needed for extrra brightness,right?
Well if the xl2566k is only a small price difference then I might pick that. I dont know. TN panels suck for anything besides gaming because of colors and viewing angles.

One good thing for xg2431 is because its 23.8, its higher image quality for 1080p because its smaller. So that makes it a little more "crisp". Generally speaking, anything higher refresh rate is going to be better in terms of raw performance so on paper the xl2566k is better. You just have to be fine paying a higher price for low quality colors and viewing angels.
Thank you for respond me ☺️💪

Let's see, I need to know which monitor has more clarity at 240 hz in strobe mode.

The XG2431 or the XL2566k.

Since, if I'm not mistaken, the XL2566k, being a 360hz panel, should have a better strobe mode at 240hz.

Thank you so much
It really depend on what you are looking for. This is the XG2431 discussion thread, not the XL2566K thread.

There are lineitem superiorities in XL2566K and lineitem superiorities in XG2431. Also, you lose some adjustability (100Hz minimum strobe + you don't have Overdrive Gain) when you use the XL2566K. On the other hand, the 360Hz does produce fairly clear 100-200Hz strobing after tuning, if you can sustain those framerates.

I can't really tell which to buy, but I can say (after tuning) they are both in the upper echelons of strobe quality compared to other displays.

Ideally, comparisons between two displays should be a separate thread.

Ok. I understand. ☺️.

I already have the XG2431.
And I think I'm going to buy the XL 2566k too.I will go to enter the world of the PC seriously 😂😂😂.

Thank you very much for your time , Chief ☺️💪

Did some more experimenting with the XG2431 when connected to a Steam deck, using Windows as my testing environment.

The drivers in Windows aren't very mature (or maybe there's a hardware limitation I'm not understanding...), so the function in CRU to restart the GPU driver doesn't work as you'd expect. The GPU driver does restart, but then monitor information is no longer properly detected. Different areas of Windows will report you're running at either 1hz or 64hz. Rebooting restores the expected normal functionality, but anything you changed in CRU is gone. Busted. But! If you use CRU, enter some new data, and then restart the steam deck instead of just the GPU driver, the changes stick.

I tried settings that I knew should work (and had gotten to work before when using this monitor on my main PC). No go - I knew I was under the pixel clock being used by 240hz, so I wasn't sure what was up. Using the Vertical Total calculator function of CRU, I experimented with reducing the pixel clock in 100-200mhz increments until I could switch to 60hz with a high vertical total that worked. A small tweak in manual mode to push it to a flat 60hz later, and it still worked fine.

I think there may be a vertical total limit in the driver or hardware. It seems to handle high pixel clocks OK, but really didn't want to go too high on the vertical total. I managed 2881, and slightly higher may be possible, but I ran out of patience for continuous Windows reboots. Definitely within the upper bounds where pushing up to the exact actual limit is not likely to produce perceivable results. Here's a screenshot of my CRU settings for the high vertical total 60hz mode I got working on the Steam deck in Windows.

Next step is to figure out how to change the resolution timings in a more permanent manner on the steam deck in game mode or desktop mode, and see if I can get a high vertical total mode for 120hz dialed in...

Is there any way to create more presets for the strobe utility? I have multiple QFT resolutions and one editable custom preset isn't enough. It would also be really nice if the strobe utility could auto apply a custom preset based on refresh rate.

guys help me,actually have g7 32" 1440p 240hz,because monitor is 32" i didn t notice too much improvement between 1080 and 1440p,i play a lot of competitive,like 95% of the time and i regret buying it,is worth replace it with xg2431?or is better spend near double the price for xl2566k?

im curious on how should i cap my fps when using pureXP. I play valorant, i use ingame cap of 240 and sometimes my fps drops below 236. If i cap it at 246, it wont drop below 240 but as far as i know its worse than having exact 240 or 480.

So, whats better, having my fps dip 10 frames below my refresh rate when using strobing mode or let it fluctate between 240-245?

I have a 10900k and a fast memory kit, i disabled hyperthreading and i locked the cpu frequency.

Hey y'all! I have a 60hz LVT custom resolution in the list of detailed resolutions right now to select with windows. Can I set a detailed custom resolution with a LVT as a default the monitor would use with other devices such as my Switch? Is it my Switch that tells the monitor which resolution to use or the monitor that decides it?

I don't know what has happened but I'm getting a ton of screen tearing now when I have my refresh rate at 60hz and using a custom resolution profile in CRU. I am using RTSS to cap games at 60FPS and my card is a 3090, but I remember when I originally got the monitor I didn't have this problem.

Vsync is turned off.

Do I need to reset the panel to factory defaults and try setting CRU up again anew?
Hey try to cap frames I think 1 frame below or above then try again or use the scanline sync feature. Also take advantage of LVT.

Could someone explain which one of the following fast IPS monitors is better for Quake?

ViewSonic XG2431
Asus ROG 360hz PG259QNR 24.5"
Viewsonic XG2431
Asus VG279QM 280Hz

Current QC world champion k1llsen uses the PG259QN. rapha being one of the best ever was using a 360hz Alienware, and now uses the insanely expensive 500hz Alienware, both IPS. So im assuming IPS monitors are now good enough to ditch the terribly bad TN panels when it comes to colors, which ruins watching any movies or dark games, however I want the best for Quake performance, and so do these guys, so im assuming we finally don't have to compromise. But the thing is I saw Linus' review on the PG256Q and it kinda sucks seeing there's ghosting in there worse than on the compared with TN which by now should be old:

So I may be going nuts here trying to find an upgrade from my VG2401. I don't want to be dissapointed, finding my old Viewsonic is better in Quake than these expensive fast IPS panels. At the same time im so tired of not being able to watch any media. So I don't know what to do. Im looking for a 24-25" monitor tops. I see this ViewSonic XG2431 has a BlurBusters seal of approval but I don't see any quakers using it, and I trust top quake fanatics as much as dedicated BlurBusters, so it's kinda confusing there's no correlation there. My main concern when switching from TN to IPS is to be dissapointment in terms of ghosting, headache due how it works, or just in general lame performance compared to TN.
