As far as I know there are no firmware updates for the X 25.
I mainly used Level 2 but I also tested Level 3 a couple of times (I still preferred level 2), both with Gsync ON and OFF.

Level 3 feels to me more responsive with less blur. I tried with gsync but in Valorant it feels like there's a bit input lag. Maybe i needed to cap the fps below 240? I normally cap it at 240. But i heard that if you use gsync you need to cap the fps below the refresh rate.
I kinda agree, Level 3 is indeed slightly less blurry but when testing 1920pps in Smoothfrog I could easily notice overshoot when looking at the RGB traffic lights.Avi wrote: ↑01 Dec 2022, 03:54Level 3 feels to me more responsive with less blur.

Hi Prod1G I've seen your other posts and I wanted to ask you specifically since it seems like out of everyone you have tried the most amount of monitors haha. I'm looking for the best 24inch 1080p 240hz(minimum) monitor. It seems like you believe the Omen x25 is the best one but it's discontinued so other than that model which would you recommend? I'm torn between IPS or TN. Is the difference between the IPS that much better than the TN that it's worth the slight decrease in performance?prod1G wrote: ↑03 Dec 2022, 00:26The service menu OD trick works on the VG258QM, too. OD section in OSD looks corrupt, but it does smth.
Don't forget to let the panel warm up for 2-3h before looking at UFO's(on IPS i notice a big differense in response times).
Also, look at 1920/2400pps, as its a better representation of panning in FPS, imo(ghosting/overshoot becomes more apparent).
XL2566K is by far the best 24inch 1080p 240+ Hz monitor.
Also consider the Acer XV252Q F (390 Hz) as one of the best IPS monitors for competitive gaming. Also note the PG27AQN which I didn't try but apparently has almost as good pixel transition times as the XL2566K (its panel is called ultrafast IPS and it is a significant improvement over all other IPS monitors which use fast IPS).
Thank you so much for the reply, I forgot to mention I'm trying to keep the budget around or under $350 if its possible. I'm trying to buy an entire setup (desk, chair, etc.) and my allowed budget is already stretched to the max haha. Do you have any top tier recommendations for anything near my budget?Inco^ wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022, 05:32XL2566K is by far the best 24inch 1080p 240+ Hz monitor.

I'd choose IPS over TN for 240Hz. IPS glow is smth you have to get used to, but having better viewing angles and colors is a plus.blurnoob wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022, 03:18Hi Prod1G I've seen your other posts and I wanted to ask you specifically since it seems like out of everyone you have tried the most amount of monitors haha.

From the forums it looks like the Viewsonic XG2431 is the favorite for the IPS versions and I'm interested in the Asus XG249cm that you own but do not like. You said it's not worth the money but currently it's about 10% cheaper for me to get the Asus over the Viewsonic.
