VG248QE user bought a XL2546K, oops..
Posted: 27 Apr 2021, 19:01
hey fellow busters of blur,
i'm a long time VG248QE user and i tought of getting into a higher hertz monitor..
i've decided to go with 24", 1080p, 240hz, because i like the formfactor and im able to run games at high fps above 240hz.
i mostly play quake-style games like doombringer (1000fps), q4 (250fps), qc (~300fps) and some overwatch (~300fps)
i've just impulse bought a XL2546K (arrived today, didn't open yet), because of good reviews and seeing DyAc+ footage.
as it is with such a purchase, i only after the fact, read some more about the screen and other comparable 240hz monitors..
i came to the conclusion, that i don't think i'm going to use the strobing, wich i paid the premium for..
maybe just to see how it performs, but not for everyday gaming-use because of the added factors that come with it, like setting it up right, crosstalk-artifacts and added delay..
i basically would be ok with a "VG248QE v2", with 240hz and a bit better motion clarity than trace free 40 and less persived input delay than trace free 80 (motion clarity on trace free 40 seems the best but response time and felt input delay is better on trace free 80, as im ok with the slight overshoot, but snappier feeling)
after i've gone through some threads on here, and comparing Rtings reviews, i looked for the best non-strobed alternatives and came across these:
VG259qm:
never had IPS, but advantages seem to be better colors and no pixel inversion, though i fear added input delay and less motion clarity
VG258qm:
ok input delay, ok motion clarity, maybe pixel inversion?
XL2546K:
stays in the race as it seems to have the lowest input delay and good nonstrobed motion clarity, though i don't like the AMA settings as there are just two and "High" and "Premium" seem to have noticable overshoot
XL2540K:
no DyAc+, lower price, maybe same motion clarity performance nonstrobed as the XL2546s? though it seems to be a different panel
so maybe not the same input delay?
so maybe ya'll could help me with my choice or even recommend somethin else, as dont´t want to get something that won't fit my needs.
thanks in advance
(sorry for the maybe hard read and my not so good english)
