Omen x25f is very similar to acer nitro XF252QX in motion blur. Omen slighty better but it's not game changer lol
On the left Acer on the right Omen:
x25f has better black color uniformity but has bad contrast. It doesnt have anti motion blur reduction. You can't even save profiles in OSD - which is really bad for me.
If I had to choose I would choose XF252QX, esspecialy its quite cheap and have everything you need, except horible black color uniformity, but might be a little fixed with shadow/black boost. And remember its quite hard to get used to TN due to bad colors, but motion clarity and blur is perfect on the Omen or Acer.
Overall its one of the top budget 240hz TN (gaming only) monitor, personally I would not pay anything more because the difference is not worth.
Can you please make a video like this with MAG?
Im sorry to all I didn't reply. I was testing both monitors in games, and when you can see some blurry thing on the MSI vs other TN then I didn't actually see that in game, so keep that in mind before listening me. And this is no game changer difference.
Here is the
MOTION BLUR TEST of the MAG251RX vs Acer XF252QX -
before watching read this -> the difference is minimal and when I was saying "not so much clean" I should not say it that loud(in favor of TN), because you eyes addapt to this so much fast and the motion blur of the IPS is enough, esspecially that there is no difference in games, maybe like 5% difference but only in realllllllyyy fast movement like in racing game or maybe quake 3.
If it comes to the lines between ufo @Chief- do you know why is that? and why I do not see that on the TN? Of course I do not notice anything like that in game but that interested me.
What is even more weird - when I checked it now, the lines between ufo are gone, maybe it was because I had two monitors turned on? So you guys dont take it too serious, maybe there was something wrong with my PC.
And the ANTI MOTION BLUR ON TEST ON MSI VS ACER (OFF)

I have never used an IPS panel before but this one seems interesting. I don't really care about viewing angles but are the colors that much better on the MSI MAG251RX compared to the Acer Nitro XF252QX?
The best answer would be that the colors on the MSI are much more real instead of "empty" one like on Acer.
Its also more about contrast, which is for sure better on MSI. Overall quality of colors are much better, including the black color uniformity which is quite important of overall all color quality.

hey forii, are you getting bad image retention with your MSI? because i've owned two and they have really bad image retention. I indirectly found this out when doing a UFO test. By putting up that screen for about 10-15 mins, then exiting that screen on a black background, i was able to see white artifacts(slight burn in or image retention) afterwards.
i'm presuming it's just bad luck and that i didn't win the panel lottery but this happened to me twice. I've done my research on other MSI owners and most claim that they do in fact get image retentio but it goes away.
I just tested it and have nothing like that.
but I will try to get second one of this MAG and compare them and choose the best one.

Colors on ASus = 6bit + FRC
Colors on MSI = 8 bit + FRC
How big of a difference is the colours though? Asus 6 bit + FRC vs MSI 8 bit + FRC? Does it look better only when watching videos or movies? or does it also look better in Games and browsing as well?

Its better everywhere, you see more details and it might helps in game, movies, and everywhere, u basicaly feel like this is real if you know what I mean, so you feel what are u look at much more vs TN panels (when on these you clearly see that the picture is generated by computer) -
but you need to calibrate it on MSI to make it look better
But. The cons of MSI (colors):
1. -The white color on Facebook or here on edit post, is a little bit yellowish, like on my VG279QM.
1.1 -In this case you need to use max 70 Contrast, because over 71 ur white is getting more yellow/green. Actually I found that 70 is more yellowish so best balance is something between 60 and 65, less contrast - less yellowish, but less brightness, so there is a trade off.
1.2 -Unfortunately you cant use "customized" color temp because the screen instantly are less brightness and setting brightess even to 100% doesnt help, so you need to deal with "Natural" Color temp mode
1.3 - The screen works best on lower brightness/contrast - so you need to deal with "less brightness" screen like on other monitors. Im used to use on VG279M the 60/60 (contrast-brighhtness ratio) but here I think I need to lower it, esspecialy the calibration on tft central reccomends on VG279QM brightness at 10 lol (for me its too darky but colors quality is better).
Here to have better colors I use 34 Brightness/63 Contrast.

Unfortunately I don't know why the FPS mode is much less saturated than User Mode (the colors are almost grey lol), which I don't like it, so I don't suggest using it - just use the racing mode instead.
Finally I found why FPS Mode on MSI looks more "grey". !!!!!!!!

I tested it and its look more great than I thought, idk why I was more excited in colorish colors
Im keeping the MSI Mag DUE THIS MODE, THEY BOUGHT WITH THIS ONE, damn it is so good, why I used oversaturated colors lol
It is literally game changer if you just test it in fps game.
it makes ur enemies see much more due to less green and more visible everything else, like red color (crosshairhit, red nicks above) - perfect for cod mw
worth a price, even tho I paid 454$ for mine.
