Universal monitor for XBox One X and PC (BenQ's DyAc?)
Posted: 02 Aug 2018, 16:39
I am looking for a universal gaming monitor that I can use for console and PC gaming.
My (strict) requirements:
- 1920 x 1080 resolution
- Between 24" and 27"
- Excellent support for XBox One X with modern optimized games. Classic 30fps and 60fps games must work without degradation, too.
- Very good support for PC gaming with high fps.
- Good support for Playstation 4 PRO.
- Low lag and fluid motion are most important for me (action games).
- Colors are NOT important.
- At least 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort.
- Price is not an issue (1000.- US$ is still OK).
I really like BenQ's ZOWIE XL2546 but do not understand enough to judge if it makes sense for consoles.
As far as I can tell, the XL2546 has DyAc (Dynamic Accuracy) instead of FreeSync.
Does anybody have an idea how well DyAc works with an XBox One X?
A "Freesync range" is mentioned often and it seems that this range would have to go low enough so that 30fps games run without degradation.
Does this apply to DyAc, too, i.e. is there a "DyAc range" and what would that be for the ZOWIE XL2546?
What are the fundamental differences between FreeSync and DyAc?
Why did BenQ choose DyAc instead of FreeSync? A good decision on their part?
Would the ZOWIE XL2411P with FreeSync and without DyAc be a more appropriate choice for my requirements?
Or the XL2720 recommended in another thread?
Basically I think it comes down to these questions:
As of today, should one choose a 144Hz or a 240Hz monitor for an XBox One X?
Is FreeSync or DyAc better for use with the XBox One X?
Thanks in advance for any comments and recommendations of other monitors if the XL2546 would be a stupid choice.
I thought buying a high-end PC gaming monitor would have me covered for XBox and Playstation, too. But the issue seems to be more complex than anticipated.
