Help deciding: PG258Q / BenQ XL2540
Posted: 25 Sep 2017, 08:59
Hi guys,
I've been reading all the information on these forums for the past month, trying to understand how to decrease motion blur and input lag as much as possible. There's so much information and so many variables, I've learned a lot but I'm still so confused. I saw the previous topic about these two monitors but my situation is a bit different, so I hope this warrants another topic without being considered spamming or not searching.
My main goal is to have the optimal competitive setup for Overwatch. I'm pretty high in the rankings but I want to climb more, and I think my accuracy definitely has room for improvement. My setup is: i7 3930k overclocked to 4.5GHz, GeForce 1080TI, fast ram. I get around 240~300 FPS in game with low settings. I play with 800DPI and 6 in game mouse settings. Also, I'm pretty sure I track movement instead of just looking at the crosshairs.
I went ahead and bought the PG258Q and my aim on Overwatch has improved a lot, but I'm still having some issues.
I tried playing at 240hz, and for the most part I was able to get 240 FPS so it worked out. I turned on G-Sync but didn't really notice much of a difference. I think it's also important to note that sometimes I do get frame drops (not drastic ones though).
I decided to try ULMB (but unfortunately on the PG258Q it only goes up to 144hz if ULMB is enabled) and surprisingly I'm pretty sure my aim improved! I was a bit upset when I found out this monitor doesn't support ULMB at higher than 144hz.
After doing more reading I read that the BenQ XL2546 can do motion blur reduction above 144hz. Now I am considering returning my PG258Q and getting the BenQ before my return window closes.
I would really appreciate some expert input to help me figure out this situation. I have done a lot of reading on this forum (thank you guys for that) but I really need some expert opinion on the matter.
EDIT: OH MY GOD ACER ALSO HAS A 240HZ MONITOR NOW. How does that compare? 27" might be nicer than 24.5...
