240Hz Gaming Monitor recommendation

[rosenright]

Hello friends,
I'm sorry if I opened the subject in the wrong place.

I'm thinking of buying a 240 Hz Monitor, but the new IPS monitors confused me. I wonder which IPS screen monitor is close to TN panel right now? The monitor specs I am looking for are 24.5 inches, 240 Hz. Can anyone help me with this? I am a semi pro player in the CS: GO game. I'm thinking of buying for CS: GO.

Thank You.

If I was you I'd either look for something like the 2546K or wait for 2nd gen 240hz panels like the XG2431.

I'm looking to upgrade from my Acer XF252QX. Do you think the XG2431 will be better than the Dell Alienware AW2521H for 1080 high frames first person shooters gaming?

Hello, don't worry, this is the right place to ask such questions

ASUS VG259QM is a very good 280 Hz IPS monitor, featuring fastIPS panel which competes with TN performance, it achieves 1.9 ms average GTG response time (overdrive set to 80) with moderate overshoot (I don't notice it in CS:GO). Probably the best IPS monitor you can buy for FPS games, it's definitely my favourite one.

I can recommend MSI MAG251RX, better colors and better response time, 3.2 g2g vs 3.8.s. Altought they are both very similar anyway. So probably I would get the cheapest one.
Idk where did you get 1.9ms. I had both of these monitors in same time and I saw a little better response time on MSI + less ghosting/overshots
Also MAG has a bit lower input lag. You have also OSD app which automaticly sets specific profile for each app/desktop. No need to switch it manually.

VG259QM has 1.9 ms avg GtG response time on overdrive set to 80 (which is very impressive), I set overdrive to 80 when I play competitively, I do not notice overshoot introduced by OD80 in CS:GO. Check RTINGS measurements. Also, VG259QM achieves 3.7 ms avg GtG response time on OD60 with 0.0% overshoot.

I've also tested MAG251RX (among many other monitors) and I'd definitely NOT recommend it over VG259QM, the 280 Hz ASUS is the ultimate IPS monitor for competitive FPS in my opinion. ASUS is also cheaper and has a lot better ergonomics, MAG251RX is heavily overpriced, if you ask me (at least where I live the MSI is way more expensive and I see no justification for such a price gap between these two).

Also, the input lag difference is ever so slight I dare to say you'd never notice a difference that small. According to RTINGS measurements, VG259QM has below 2 ms input lag, which is even better than Zowie XL2546K, so that is top class responsiveness anyway.

I got the Asus, but sometimes my screen will go black for 3 seconds. Any input?

I have the ViewSonic XG2402 ( 144hz) now. I am orientating for a new monitor. I had my eye on the VG259QM and 360hz monitors. I understand these high hz IPS panels show beautiful image quality, but have higher input lag compared to the TN panels. I care the most for low inputlag.
I play PUBG, Valorant, MW and Quake Live. The thing that raises the most question marks with me are the pages https://prosettings.net/valorant-pro-se ... gear-list/
https://prosettings.net/cs-go-pro-settings-gear-list/
https://prosettings.net/pubg-pro-settings-gear-list/

Without question the monitor that is most used is the two year old BenQ ZOWIE Xl2546. the BenQ ZOWIE’s Xl2546K is almost not there on those 3 lists. The VG259QM is totally absent. Also no 360hz monitor is used by the pros.

I can get a month old Xl2546 for 250 euro. ( a customer opened the box, tested it and returned it) That's halve the price for practically a new one with 2 year guarantee.

in edition:
In May this year i expect some extra euros from my work. I am going to upgrade my gpu then from a GTX1080 to a RTX 3080. I got the money then also to go for a xl2546K instead of a xl2546. My gut feeling said the xl2546K is better then the xl2546 inputlagwise.

Shall i go for the xl2546 or go for the Xl2546K ?

Hi, I saw you tried the alienware aw2521hf and the hp omen x25f. I can have the omen in my country, but if i want the alienware, i need to import it from abroad. I care mostly about monitor speed and responsiveness but coming from a 144hz tn with horrible colours (benq xl2411p), i'm afraid to get a 240hz tn and have same viewing experience.
Would you say the alienware is good enough for competitive gaming compared to the omen x25f ? Inversely, would you say the omen image quality is close enough to the alienware ?

Thank you so much for your inputs as i'm really hesitating.

Dude. Its not. I believe there is no IPS monitor with 1.9ms avg GTG response time. Don't make me report this to the admin.
First of all, 280hz at 80 OD is slower than 240hz 80 OD.

4.2 G2G at 240hz vs 4.7ms G2g at 280hz

240hz at 3.55 ms response time:

And here is a proof that MSI MAG251RX is better(3.2ms response time - same method tests vs ASUS so its legit that msi wins) -one of the reasons why i choosen this) + also better percent in window (100%)

I checked ur rtings measurements and I found ur value 1.9 ms but its NOT response time, its rise/fall:

Ofc, yes, if in ur country msi is much expensive then get asus, but I would recommend 240hz 80 OD instead of 280hz 80 OD.
Still if you have money then MSI is better.
I had them both and I liked more MSI
