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.
After buying this monitor, I can agree with you. VRB on extreme is just unplayable in competitive games. I don't understand how anyone is actually able to play like this, but I'm not. 390 Hz is great, but VRB's brightness isn't. Returning it as soon as the XL2546K arrives.
