Is ViewSonic XG2402 FLICKER FREE unlike ASUS VG248QE?

[ThatGuy]

Hello first time post and have been reading around the good info here.

I bought the ASUS VG248QE the other day, and it has already been messing up my eyes after just a few days. I can’t take it anymore, so I did research and found out it’s because that monitor has PWM-Dimming so I’m basically staring at a strobe light. I was looking for some alternatives that are 144hz with 1ms and do not have the problems I’ve had with the ASUS one. I have seen the Viewsonic XG2402 and the XG2401 popping up as good alternatives, and of the two the XG2402 seems like the better option, HOWEVER, when I look on the ViewSonic website it looks like only the XG2401 is listed as Flicker Free, and I don’t see anything on the website indicating that the newer XG2402 is also Flicker Free? And yet, I think I saw in a picture something that looked like it might be?

Can someone clarify this for me? I’m also open to other suggestions for 144hz monitors. I’m looking for something that doesn’t have all that flickering in it, and also has the lowest input lag for competitive FPS games. Looking forward to your input!

Yes.

Yes, ViewSonic XG2402 is 100% PWM-free dimming.

All brand name game monitors manufacturered in 2018 onwards are now generally PWM-free, so some manufacturers have stopped advertising that feature. However, multiple parties have already confirmed XG2402 is PWM-free.

Thanks for the reply! I am assuming that therefore the XG240R is also flicker free. Great news.

Yes. All modern ViewSonics are.
