If you have AMD card cross out the AW. Some thing you can't use without nvidia card. And G-SYNC is overpriced which you can see if XV and AW prices are compared and they are kinda same monitors.

XV even has a bit less overshoot at max refresh rate but overdrive is not variable like on AW. But for competitive gaming its useless anyways where fps will be high most of the time.

I'm not sure if you'd like to go with TN, old tech but slightly faster response times than these IPS but not as much to be worried about. I guess if you're real sensitive to smallest amount of blur then X 27 would be your choice. Note that its more demanding to run 1440p - less hertz, less fps, more latency... In this case maybe better get other TN monitor.

I'd go with XV252QF.

I completely agree with Discorz on all points. Do you want 1080p 24.5” or 1440p 27”? That’s really one of the biggest things here. I have XV252QF. My friend has X 27. Both are absolutely top-of-the-line monitors in their own ways.

All good monitors. None perfect and kind of hair splitting nuanced differences really which enthusiasts like to make bigger deal than they actually are - in actual use (CS:GO in this case). Which is best boils heavily down on personal preference and no one can tell you via comment. On top of that we as people tend to adapt and get used to absolutely anything in due time which will make it "feel right" for you, even if it would be utter crap tech wise.

Choosing IPS or TN - and choosing 1080p or 1440p is the real difference maker on your experience.

Personally I like 24" size and IPS for comp. XV252QF is good, but so is basically any cheaper 240Hz (or even good 144Hz) alternative imho. Can't personally advocate if faster panel would play a bigger role in more fast paced games (arena shootters run+aim), but CS shooting is really kind of static stuff and holding angles. Don't stress about the monitor too much.

I would personally skip current 240hz+ IPS panels since they don't have good enough pixel response times to fully take advantage of higher refresh rate meaning they have more blur than they should (no strobing scenario). Also if you look at the rtings monitor data tables IPS have a bit less input lag, but a bit higher response times.
Never tried 27'' monitors, but my next one would probably be one. I opted for omen x25f (24.5') for now because omen x27 is almost twice more expensive and you need even better hardware to sustain 1440p@240fps vs 1080p@240fps.

Which is best for CSGO (FPS Games)? Ignoring price, colors quality, etc...Just the performance (Input Lag, response time, etc).

Thank you!

None. Get the HP Omen X25 (non F)

What’s the difference F and non F other than gsync/free sync?

Not sure why, but the non F has better Overdrive performance than the F version.

Well, he was asking about performance. In terms of input lag, Acer Nitro XV252QF wins without a doubt. It has been reviewed by multiple places and people as having the lowest latency of any monitor. It also has 150 extra Hz compared to the HP. In terms of response times, maybe HP OMEN X 25 is the best.

What exactly is differing in experience between TN and IPS?
