The XL2720Z is not affected by gamma change at higher refresh rates, so the same OSD gamma setting can be used at most settings you want

It will do the job, but image quality isn't exactly stellar...
The reason why i wanted to go with the XL2411 was due to the fact that the guy with the XL2720Z got an offer yesterday and someone was gonna pick it up, the guy never showed up tho, so i picked up the XL2720Z a few hours ago.
No time to set it up today tho, just ran a quick dead /stuck pixel test and everything was good, its got a little bit of backlight bleed, but every setting on the monitor is also maxed out, gamma, saturation and black equalizer, which i guess just enhances bleeding that much more. Im guessing someone made a nice guide somewhere to set it up properly or i can find a profile.
The guy used it on his Playstation 4 and really didnt know much about PCs, why he would use a 144Hz monitor on a PS4 i dont know.
Now i just gotta figure out how to fit this damn thing on my desk, my desk isnt exactly small, but a 27" monitor sure does feel quite a bit bigger than a 24".
