Yeah u cant really compare IPS to TN when it comes to blur. U can compare blur between IPS panels though. the 390hz Acer has one of lowest blur of all IPS models. Keep in mind that the Zowie also supports custom resolutions for CS GO for example.

On the IPS Acer 390hz with VRB on extreme there is more blur then on the TN Zowie XL2546K Dyac plus with VRB on extreme the Acer 390hz is not very bright.
I personally think the VRB on extreme is too bright, but tbf I also use low brightness on every device I use.

Is there a monitor that doesn't support custom resolutions? I've never found one that doesn't.

Its about the scaling. On the Zowie u can do Display scaling instead of GPU scaling what should be way more superior. Check out

this monitor also allows display scaling, right? I'm playing low resolutions in CS (not custom, 1024x768 or 1280x960) and I need to force full screen scaling in nvidia control panel so I don't get black bars. I heard display scaling is faster, depending on the monitor of course.

Hi everyone, it's my first post, I wanted to stop ghosting this forum ahahahah,

Just wanted to do a little feedback. I got a XV252QF from Acer Store France, my last monitor was a XL2546K but after I tried 4 of them, 3 with dead/bright pixels, one with those large bezels misaligned with the panel itself, I tried the XV252QF.
To stay unlucky, 6 bright pixels (I can litteraly send pictures of each monitors, I'm so f***** bored).

Apart from this, I'll buy another XL2546K. The XV52QF is quite good BUT the brightness is too dimm to me, it's quite unplayable if you're used to brightness 100 on XL2546K, you can't see shit, like for real. Im a 26 yo player with 5k hours of CSS probably the same ammount for CoD, a lot of event/french online eSport on many games like CoD, CS, etc. I only live for FPS, even tho I have a PS5 and a Switch laying in my room. I was master or grandmaster on OW, GE on CS, on my way to be Onyx on Halo Infinite, and I want to tryhard Valorant to be at least Immortal. (I can't play 15h a day so it takes time rofl)

I would not recommend the XV252QF if you plan to use VRB and you like it BRIGHT, because it's NOT... The normal mode is barely noticeable and you still have a ton of ghosting, while being a pretty fast pannel tho (Tried the AW2521H which is a total MESS).

The next cons are Black Equalizer sucks and you have nowhere near as much as (color) settings the XL2546K have, so if you like your monitor in a certain way, you can't reproduce that. The XL2546K ruined my eyes, I litterally can't play with another monitor now, that's so sad. I tried the X25 from HP Omen and it's a serious competitor for fast paced fps like OW, but when it comes to CS/Valorant, and even on OW/CoD/Halo Infinite, I do prefer the motion clarity that offers the XL2546K.
I also tried the AW2521HFA which is areally bad, tons of ghosting, I may have a bad unit.

So... I am quite disappointed, because BenQ Zowie's quality control seems to suck, and their monitors are near to perfect to me, I'll try another one and pray for a flawless one this time.
I gave up on XV252QF since to me it's unusable competitively, being to dimm with VRB on Extreme made it unusable. And I can't keep it since I do prefer DyAc+ even if it add some input lag, which is barely but still noticeable and like I said, the settings are far far better, I can change settings really easily even without S-Switch.

Can't wait to see a 360Hz AUO IPS tuned by Zowie or maybe a 360/480Hz TN panel !

If you have some questions, I can answer, but I have to say I don't have any of those monitors anymore, a new XL2546K is on its way.

Have a nice day. :D

I think that would be true for any monitor.... And, you can do scaling via GPU or Monitor. I always use GPU anyways....

asus vg248qe doesn't have the display scaling option on 8+ but on windows 7 it would let you set it. same thing with the omen x 25. this acer allows you, but it really doesn't make a difference

No, I don't think it has display scaling on lower then native resolutions. only gpu scaling.. that's why I am referring to the Zowie and

hmm that would be bad, I'll probably buy the Zowie as well and see which one I keep. My current monitor, AOC AG251FZ @ 240 Hz, feels terrible when moving the mouse around (I guess I'm also really sensitive to motion blur). I'm sure both Acer and Zowie will be an upgrade, but I really want to choose the best.

What's the default gamma with the AOPEN? I recently changed it to 1.8 for RO2 cause a lot of the maps were dim,,, it's 2.2, right?
