i bought one Benq but it's just a preorder on amazon, i hope i will receive it quickly
I'm really afraid of the performance of the monitor in 60hz and 100hz

You made the right decision. Just look at these viewing angles and gameplay footage. I tested it out myself!

Unbelieveable! Enjoy your ben Q man

Don't worry fanboy, i have bought the MSI too
I prefer see by myself, but i prefer to wait for the Benq, i want to see side by side the two monitors

And like you see, here the price is not the same with the US, it's more than 500€ for an IPS

If it's like my XL2746S, you may be disappointed with 60/100 Hz.

I have the xl2546 not the S version.

The colors really cannot make it. Web browsing on the browser, the whites are yellowish and ugly. Basically really bad colors.

BenQ is a TN, the MSI is an IPS. You cannot compare them because the benq will lose in basically every category and TIE at 240hz refresh/FPS

btw, wh at's with ppl here hurling out buttthurt insults? the man asked a question, and i answered. I don't agree with a lot of ppl here but i don't go around hurling out patronizing remarks "fanboy". If you can't accept the fact that TN is useless all bcuz the fast IPS monitors are here, then i guess you are severe coping mechanisms.

i respect TN, but there's just NO reason to buy one, now that the 240hz monitors exist. The fastest IPS monitors does the same exact job in performance than the fastest TN at 240hz FPS/refresh and there are basically ZERO differences when it comes to performance.

Can you tell me what I am missing if I own a 65" LG oled , a 1440p 144hz Gsync IPS and a XL2546S ( soon to arrive) ?

240hz
3ms g2g @ 60hz
tooooo big for computer use
not good for competitive gaming due to too much eye tracking
$2000 vs $400
useless PPI if you intend to sit far


The MSI is the only 240hz monitor that has 3ms g2g average at 60-120hz(console) that is way quicker than your "OLED"

the MSI is the best console gaming monitor PERIOD

Isn't OLED geared towards console gaming especially for the upcoming ps5 and sexbox.

But hey, if u enjoy movies and other stff, more power to ya. OLED is def. A good choice for that.
