Why would an older 144hz monitor (XG2402) perform better though? I can't think of any reasons.

Yesterday i got the XL2546K: The colors and textures look great: Especially in PUBG and MW. U have a big advantage in spotting enemy's.

But I also play Quake Live. There's a huge difference in the amount of frags I can get with my XG2402 and the XL2546K. On the XL2546K I am just a regular player. Above average at best.

On the XL2546K I had a couple times where my plasma gun just couldn't catch up with the enemy or my mouse movement. I just switched back to the XG2402 and the difference is humongous.
On the XG2402 for example I am 9 of 10 at the top of the list on the servers I usually play. With the XL2546K its something like 3 out of 10. I like Quake Live just for that. It's a game where I am actually good at. I don't wanna give that up.

So unfortunately the XL2546K is going back to the store tomorrow for a refund.

I am going to give the 360hz a try. If its also mediocre @ Quake Live I'm going to stick with the XG2402 until the new Viewsonic 24'' 240 IPS comes out. Around next week the Alienware AW2521H 360hz should arrive. I will keep u guys posted.

I am confused on what you think youre experiencing here. How would a XL2546K with dyac+ be worse than the XG2402? How can a newer 240hz panel be worse than an older 144hz panel? I cant imagine input lag or response time being that different from a 144hz xg2402.... Placebo maybe?

Both great questions. (its def not placebo in QL, some movements where impossible to do on the XL2546K for example someone falling down fast close then tracking then railing (hard to explain )) If I had the answer I would give it. Maybe 1k pollingrate mice run better on the XG2402 144 hz in Quake Live. I just ordered the 8k Viper for my 360hz monitor next week. i will keep u guys posted...

Ok the Alienware AW2521H 360hz just arrived today. To make a long story short: Its very very good Its better then the XL2546K and the XG2402 also in Quake Live . no question about it. Its the monitor i was looking for. I am still top notch in QL and even much better!: i pulled off some combos, moves and insane highscores that felt very very good. believe it or not.

Also worth mentioning: The 360hz feels easy on your eyes. The Dyac on the XL2546K drained my energy way quicker. The IPS is very nice also.

Ok thats it. Tnx guys!!!!

Hey guys. Got this monitor 2 weeks ago, and currently running this monitor on standard settings with an ICC profile from tftpanels.
I just feels like the colors are a bit dull, and was wondering what the "best" overall settings for this.

Can someone guide me ?

I'm using normal OD, Color temp 6500k, 2,2 gamma, 60 brightness, 50 contrast..

Thanks in advance..

Hi everyone . I would like some help please. The monitor was working fine with HDR, but now the colours looked washed out. I disabled HDR and it still looks washed out. Im using a DP cable and changed to HDMI and still the same. Even the boot screen looks washed out. I tried different cables and connect my laptop and the colours are still washed out. Do I have a defective unit?

Maybe you changed something in the monitor's OSD by mistake? Like the gamma setting?

[lextheimpaler]

I didn’t touch anything on the OSD.

anyone here with this monitor plays fifa or PES football game ? I would like to know if you can notice any strobe crosstalk / artifacts with ULMB enabled on this monitor in this kind of games? at 240/144 hz both would be interesting to know ! (and maybe also how you experience the ULMB in other games like FPS games etc) ty !

Hi there brochachos, just got this monitor yesterday. What mode are you using/recommend for esports games in general like CSGO, Overwatch... Maybe G-SYNC Esports? Because I see that the monitor is set to Racing Mode by factory default and I've seen on other forums that some users claim to have less input lag on Racing Mode but increased response time, which is worse. Right?
