The overdrives on the VG259QM are shifted compared to the VG279QM.
OD60 on the VG259QM performs like OD80 on the VG279QM.
OD80 on the VG259QM is something inbetween OD80 and OD100 on the VG279QM.
OD100 is unusable in both the VG259QM and the VG279QM.

OD80 is really good at 280hz, there's barey any overshoot and motion clarity is very good, OD60 is more suited to 240hz.

Thank you I use most 240hz but I'm staying on 80 overdrive cause I don't see much difference. what I noticed is that this monitor have ghosting. I had a VG248QE and it has ghosting too and on the VG259QM it seems to have ghosting too. So I was wondering if I should RMA it cause it's working fine just a bit of ghosting when playing valorant and I don't see ghosting when Im whatching something on YouTube. The monitor is fine for me I would not return just because I don't have much knowledge so I want to hear from another person perspective because it's a very expensive panel and I want to make sure it's working properly. Thanks for the attention
