Looking for a 240Hz+ monitor for competitive games

[Inco^]

Yes, Czech store. At first, like you, I had my doubts. But googled it and it appeared legit (has a wikipedia page describing the company).
As for my experience, nothing to report, really. Everything went smoothly, received the monitor in perfect conditions.

Thanks for your answer @Max_hz , just ordered the VG259QM for 286 euros on Amazon.es, couldn't miss that price. Acer and even BenQ are more than twice that price, I don't think it's really worth it.
I will still have 30 days to return it if I dislike it though.

Oh you bought the monitor, yes price is rly good cheapest i'v seen since release.
You still need some luck in the "panel lottery" these days that's why I only buy from shops with a good return policy like amazon.
Indeed give it a try and have fun with it!

Good to know thanks. However for premium product like a monitor I'd rather pay extra for Amazon or other french store to be safe in case I need to return it. Hopefully your unit is fine.

Yes I've been checking the price for a few months and didn't see it below 380 euros (France).
I ordered last Thursday and received it on Friday, Amazon is pretty insane (knowing I ordered from Amazon Espagne while I'm from France).

Hopefully my unit seems pretty good, no dead pixel or other issue. There is some glowing but I assume it's something normal on an IPS pannel (photos attached, way worse than it actually looks in reality)

I don't know what you guys thinks ?
While gaming or doing something else on my computer it doesn't bother me. I only noticed it because I heard of IPS Glow and checked on black screen. It disappear if I look from a certain angle and I can only see it on a blackscreen.

Otherwise regarding the monitor it self, it feels really snappy, the colors are really insane. Coming from an XL2411P TN 144Hz it's night and day, I didn't realize how bad my colors were.
I use the following settings :
280Hz
OD 120
VivivPixel 25
Brightness 70-90
Contrast 80
ShadowBoost Lvl 1
ELMB Off
Adaptive Sync Off

I don't know if I can get something any better. Regarding the motion clarity it seems very good, I tried both ELMB On and Off and I honestly don't see much difference except the brightness dropping a lot and the input lag increasing a little.

Hard to judge from a picture, like you said "way worse than it actually looks in reality",
some IPS glow is normal and acceptable if it's not rly disturbing you.
IPS glow should not be really visible, unless you look the monitor corner at an angle,
the more you look at it at an angle, the worst it gets and indeed only visible on black.

My settings for desktop use

Racing mode
240-280Hz
OD 120
VivivPixel 0
Brightness 17
Contrast 80
RGB Controls 97-100-95
ShadowBoost Lvl 0
ELMB Off
Adaptive Sync Off

Settings are very personal for example my brightness setting is 17 and in game 25 (cs:go) so with "ELMB On" it's brighter as my desktop or game settings.
