BenQ XL2540K or Asus VG258QM
Re: BenQ XL2540K or Asus VG258QM
Thanks uwinho for your answer. What rudimentary test or thing you do to compare one monitor vs the other monitor in terms of input lag? Is it simply just pressing your mouse button for an action on the screen of the msi and doing the same action on the benq and noticing that the msi was a bit faster? Or do you use a more accurate or repeatable test.

I recently bought the 2540K (Sep. 8th 2021, to be exact) and it says that it is using the Q250HTN00 A200 panel

If the panel has the same backlight you could try the Blurbusters Strobe Utility to see if it can strobe. There is no way to enable it on the reworked OSD.

Re: BenQ XL2540K or Asus VG258QM
Gj, you just saved 200$ on the 2546K, 240hz Dyac on a 350$ monitor is honestly as good as it can get, what's up with Benq? Shouldn't the 2546K panel be more expensive? Are they struggling to keep up with production of the 2540K's panels?
Does it actually stay ON after closing the Strobe utility? alternatively it should work with the strobe utility open and closing the motion pursuit ufotest If I remember correctly.

It does. I know this since I had forgot to take it off and used it by mistake for 1 day, in CSGO -.-
Re: BenQ XL2540K or Asus VG258QM
If I may ask, what monitor did you own before getting the XL2540K and how does your old monitor compare to the XL2540K. I have an VG259QM and I’m not satisfied with its motion clarity, I’ve had it for 4 months. I tried OD120 280hz, OD80 240hz, OD100 235hz and I only play on OD100 240hz because it has the sharpest image. Would you recommend the XL2540K?

Hi, is it possible that you can tell me your best settings for your main Asus VG258QM 280Hz TN monitor? I play only Apex Legends. I want to buy and test this specific TN panel, but I have no clue for good FPS settings.Boomchakadah wrote: ↑23 Apr 2021, 16:50- I used my XL2546K in standard mode with Black Equalizer on 0 (not only because BEQ is buggy on the XL2546K, but also because I don't like using it in general.)Falkentyne wrote: ↑23 Apr 2021, 15:33
In order to check ghosting, you MUST use Standard Mode. The other modes do whacky stuff to the RGBYCM (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, magenta) color channels (Hue/Saturation). Standard Mode also has Black Equalizer default to 0, which is the correct non processed setting. (NOTE: Older Benq monitors, possibly the Mstar scaler models(?) caused extreme black crush if Black Equalizer was set to 0, thus once again, Standard Mode should be used). Then check your gamma settings to make sure you are at 2.2 gamma. Gamma 5 is the 2.2 point on my XL2746S, but this ma be different for 24" panels. Lower (brighter) gamma levels also affect the ghosting, but not as much as Black Equalizer higher than 0 does. On my XL2746S, EQ=4 shows a large decrease in how the primary and secondary ghost trails look, but this causes unnatural colors due to BEQ doing stuff to the image.
The input lag issue a few people repored is something else entirely. Someone mentioned shots not registering despite being direct headshots (this can only be caused by some sort of monitor side lag) on the XL2546K. I can't replicate this at all on the XL2746S, so I assume the XL2546S is similar.
- The S and K versions have different OSD menus and different factory menus. The OD gain on the K versions doesn't have those numbers and letters. The OD gain can be adjusted from 0 to 15. On my unit, even with AMA off and OD gain on 0, there was still a powdery trail behind the UFO. Unlike a 280Hz IPS ACER I had next to it that had a normal blur trail behind the UFO.
btw: are you still happy with your VG258QM?

I play alot of Apex on this monitor, recently I have been using overclock to 280hz , no Gsync , no ELMB, no in game Vsync (sometime double buffered if I am noticing screen tearing , input lag isn't perceivable if you can push high frames) , cap game FPS at 240 or 278 , OD lvl set to 3 on monitor, usually FPS or Racing color setting with a good amount of vivid pixel which I find helps to spot enemies.
Thank thats about it, feels really responsive with minimal motion blur . I find ELMB makes it too hard to spot enemies and input lag may be perceivable
