05/22/2020 UPDATE. The IPS 240hz monitor tier list.(I've measured/tried the all) and my honest explanation why.

[sndhck]

Why is AW2521HFL higher than AW2521HF? It's must be same monitors, but HFL just have white color. Or am I wrong? Also why is AW2521HFL higher than vg259qm?

I'd just watch this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zyknndQjx8

VG259QM >> AW2521HF if not for colors and build quality. I think OP cares a lot about color accuracy, 10bit coverage, which is why he chose MAG251RX over everything else. Everyone else says VG259QM is better, plus it has ULMB-SYNC.

And btw the VG259QM can easily run 240hz 10 bit, you just need CRU, click on LCD Reduced and reboot, it literally takes 30 seconds..

ELMB-Sync is quite good as long as you stick to non VRR strobing and 280hz may not be a huge improvement over 240hz but it definitely helps with motion clarity.

Did I just get unlucky or the coating on the AW2521HFL is stronger than on the VG259QM. That's assuming that it isn't AUO that applies the anti glare matte coating, which I am not sure about.

which 240hz monitor do you recommend for use dedicated exclusively to competitive fps?
thank you

The best of the best is the Zowie XL2546S, a 240hz TN panel, but it's out of stock everywhere and (somehow) discontinued even though it was only released 3 months ago. It kills the competition if you can get your hands on one.

unfortunately no longer available, I looked at XL27 as an alternative but not convinced of the size 27 for competitive fps.
We will see new version of XL25 in September what it offers, in the meantime I took acer predator XB253QGX.

this is the tld;rtldr version of my upcoming triple review. of the asus vg259qm, asus vg279qm, and msi mag251rx) Plus the conclusions of the odyssey g7 and lg 27gl850-b and viewsonic elite xg270qg reviews.

(click to enlarge)


tldr;rl version of me NUKING the samsung odyssey G7 once again. For a $776(aftertax) dollar monitor, i have higher expectations and i get very strict on what is acceptable and what is not)

(click to enlarge)


ANYONE who has ever reviewed the viewsonic elite xg270qg. I advise you guys make this revision. 6ms grey to grey if "USER" under color temperature setting is used, GHOSTING will occur. 4ms grey to grey if NATIVE(or SRGB) under color temperature setting (no ghosting, no artifacts). Here is a video proving it. I've owned FOUR of these, all FOUR confirm the same thing

phpBB [video]

The blurbusters UFO ghosting tests has never lied to me. it has confirmed virtually 100% of the cases that I've seen and I truly believe the blurbusters UFO test is the best way to determine response times, which monitor is faster, and most important of all, the motion artifacts you may or may not see in game. Just to prove how accurate it is



Viewsonic elite xg270qg under "USER" color temperature (100/100/100 RGB). I clearly see ghosting on the rocket league ball



Viewsonic elite xg270qg under "native or SRGB" color temperature. I clearly see a SHARPER moving object with a very feint inverse ghosting corona.



okay, the tldr;l version is out of the way. The real version is coming up.

-The 60hz fixed refresh plague
-pixel walk/pixel inversion
-image retention
-Scanline screendoor effect
-vg259qm review vs vg279qm review differences
-which is the optimal version?
-vs TN (higher refresh rate vs faster pixel response times, why g2g is inferior to MPRT at higher refresh and why the vg259qm/vg279qm will beat any TN user especially at 307hz overclock(300hz recommended) for the vg259qm)
-MSI MAG251RX review
-g2g response times & input lag results
-pickuchu jab frame checker(input lag at 60hz)
-samsung odyssey g7 review part 3

Hello, I just wanted to add that the panel used in a Alienware aw2521hf is M250HAN01.7 not M250HAN01.3

Hello, I just wanted to add that the panel used in a Alienware aw2521hf is M250HAN01.7 not M250HAN01.3

source? I need direct evidence backing this up. Every thiing points in the direction of m250han01.3

contrast ratios(1200:1)
response times(lower mid 3ms)
the non-native pc resolution

only difference is, the battery is internal and doesn't require external brick for the alienware 24.5" model

proof?
Guys, I watched the aw2521hf review
https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/dell-al ... -aw2521hf/
And in the review, the author says that enabling VRR affects overdrive. How can it be, is it a feature of the panel? Does the asus vg259qm have the same? What about MSI? Has anyone checked with asus?

The vg259qm is definitely not affected by this.
