:P
I wanna finally get this "top1" msi mag251rx and compare it with the legend vg279qm, im cuirous how better are colors, if not only more over saturated lol

and curious about motion blur reduction because ELMB on vg279qm is not usable, too aggresive crosstalk
Do you have proper equipment? Bcuz i used a two oscilloscopes($400 being one fo them). Also with colors, can you prove that the 8 bit Asus has anti banding technology, ditherign, and a 10 bit color depth like the MSI?

if not, then YOUR comparison isn't remotely as credible as my detailed comparison. Oscilloscope>>>>trivial differences in UFO test motion blur.

Well, im starting to agree with that what you saying, it might be placebo :|
AND confirmation bias. Finding every little evidence to support your own bias against that said item. Yet why does every youtuber who reviewed the new IPS monitor say the same thing "can't really tell the difference between TN but the TN like performance is definitely there"
The more important is to get used to one choosen monitor and adapt the sensitivity of the mouse + learn aiming at (in case of IPS panel - more visibile) players due to other colors (the eyes need to get used to new colors also)

Im still thinking about the guy who were using the Acer XF252Q (240hz TN) with the 3ms input lag and moved on Asus VG279QM and played on this better in Cs GO due to lower input lag, in this case 2ms. Or maybe he was better due to the Estimated Signal Processing Lag which is insanly low on Asus= 0.30ms. :idea:

I assume this is similar on the MAG, even u said its 2,4ms (total input lag?), so its still similar to 2ms )asus)
The 2,4ms on the MSI is based on Pixel Response Time Element ? dunno what is the difference vs Estimated Signal Processing Lag (0,3 on asus) :?:
I know this is minimal difference but still its good to know
uh what? the VG279qm is the fastest monitor in the world right now. LOL FASTER than any TN

input lag at 240hz refresh and framerates above the refresh rate become impossible to know the difference. (unless you're comparing extremes like 2ms input lag to 5ms input lag). Trivial changes in input lag doesnt' matter.

IF TWO equally skilled CSGO players, one of them is using a monitor with 2ms input lag and the other a 2.4ms input lag, the differences are so negligible that any variance in head to head competition isn't because of the input lag. However, the person with the slight disadvantage in input lag will have better viewing angles, no side effects such as distortion from the edges, better more accurate colors , and is able to use that monitor fore very thing else other than gaming. THAT is 1 million times noticeable than these trivial differences in performance.

g2g average becomes redundant at 240hz
trivial differences in input lag if two skilled players went head to head would have zero impact
Why VG279QM is fastest?

You said the MAG is faster, faster response time, better overdrive, less aggressive crosstalk, input lag same
Thats the reason why I bought Mag and hopefully it will be better and faster than asus, even thought I paid 473$ for that, after huge discount, because it costs 528$ normally (Proshop site/poland). Asus 27 inch is 408$

Do you think it's harder to spot enemies in the distance on 1080p 27inch compared to 24inch in battle royal games or battlefield V if you're familiar with games like this? Or in CSGO on dust 2 if you're checking A from the pit for example?

the MSI is about 25% faster within the 240hz refresh. Since the pixel response time 0.8-1ms in the advantage of the MSI. if the FPS exceeds 240hz and the person overclocks the Asus to 280hz, the asus is faster(presuming the FPS is above 240hz)

I see, ok, thats good, my fps are much lower than 240 sometimes.
I heard the Asus is slower at his 280Hz (4,0ms with 80OD) vs 240Hz (3,6ms with 80 OD)
Anyway I will play with game that my fps are avg 170-220(depends of the game mode). Hard to have more fps without 2080Ti. I got now 1080Ti thought, but the 2080ti is only 25% boost increase, Im waiting for 3080Ti which will give much more boost compare to RTX, and it will be much morth worth it :D

Maybe I will back to Overwatch, the colors on the MSI in this game should look insane.

Im assuming u have an i9 7900x cpu or above to run the 3080ti.

Acer Nitro XF2 XF252Q vs HP Omen X 25f

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/ ... tro-xf252q
"The Acer Nitro XF252Q is a bit better than the HP OMEN X 25f. The XF252Q has better ergonomics, and an optional black frame insertion feature to help improve the clarity of motion. The XF252Q supports HDR, but this doesn't add much. The OMEN X 25f we tested has significantly better black uniformity, so it's a better choice for dark room viewing."

I support this, but I cannot understand how ignorant can a reviewer be to say "a bit better", when one monitor has MBR and the other not.
Monitor without MBR is absolutly nogo... especially, when there is an offered MBR@240Hz.
This is the next level of monitoring.
The Acer Nitro XF2 XF252Q is on a compltly other level, then oldtech HP Omen.

Some reviewers ether have no clue at all or they are maybe well payed to do so...

This is a Tesla for the same price as a golf.
But they really found a reviewer saying... "the Tesla is A BIT BETTER, than the golf, but the golf has better black uniformity so maybe you should better take the golf"... wtf... rtings, really???

Please, can someone give me best possible settings for competitive fps gaming on XF252Q?
