Blur Busters Forums

Hello guys, right now I am looking for a 1440p monitor specifically for games like warzone and battlefield, I have tried several older monitor options and they all have slow response times and input lag compared to my vg259qm.

These are my options, so I would appreciate any advice on them>

1)XG27WCMS VA panel, 280hz... I know the first thing people will say is that it's terrible for fps but this particular one is an interesting monitor and seems to be the same panel or very similar to the samsung g6 VA 240hz but without the tizen crap and 100% focused on gaming.

An asian youtuber (GTID) made a review of the 180hz version, very low input lag and ghosting, VERY high contrast and good response times, im tired of my ips looking like white paper with the sub 1000 contrast ratios.

2) XG27ACMG IPS 270hz... this monitor seems to be the same panel as the XG27ACS but in 270hz, so you can expect very good factory calibration, good colors and acceptable response times, virtually no reviews for this monitor so it would be a blind purchase.

3) VG27AQML1A IPS 260hz... for me it would be an instant buy if they were the same specs of the vg279qm but in 1440p, the problem is that apparently they have almost nothing in common, this may be the fastest of all???

4) XG27AQMR IPS 300hz... the most expensive of all and the one I like the least, the reviews of this monitor place it with mediocre response times, which do not go at all with its high frame rate.

ANY advice will be greatly appreciatedof th of the 180hz version, very low input lag and ghosting, high contrast and VERY good response times>

Sorry to be blunt but, if you want fast pixel response times, emissive displays are your only real option.

1440p 240Hz OLEDs are reaching $400 USD on a regular basis. LCDs are obsolete.

@Doogydog
almost all screens now offer some form of sync feature (G-/Free-/VRR), so i wouldnt worry about anything above 240 Hz, unless you get payed to play.
one of the only online shooter i play is siege, and i have no real backdraw from playing @60 with Gsync/VRR enabled,
vs my friend(s) playing @120 when it comes to input lag.

depending on your gpu, you would have to look for its sync mode being supported, or search VRR, which is basiuaclly abailable on almost every screen with 100Hz or more refreh.

but i havent used a dedicated moni for years, now that TVs offer VRR, and im not stuck with small screens/or forced to spend +2K above 40" size.

I also have the Xg27aqmr and find myself struggling with the blur. I was of the impression that this was due to me coming from an older TN panel that simply does better than Ips in thst regard and wasn't aware that there are reviews that claim mediocre response times of the xg27aqmr. Since I'm still within the return windows I consider returning it. Could you link me the tests/reviews you found in this regard? I would appreciate it. I'll also update you on my experience with the monitor once I get in a few more hours with it.

All of the displays you mentioned are as fast as your VG259QM, I'm not sure what your issue is?
The VG259QM should be slower than the Asus models you've mentioned.

If you want a LCD that has faster G2G response times than almost all IPS, look at the INNOCN 27G1S.
Apart from that, the PG27AQN is great at 240hz (doesn't hold up at native refresh rate however)
Those two are the closest to OLED in terms of sample & hold clarity, but still not as fast as OLED.

Only those two LCD's have substantially better G2G RT's over your VG259QM, the rest you've mentioned are the same as your ASUS if not even better.

And what do you think of the KOORUI 27E3QK, same panel as the xg27aqm but $150 less

KOORUI and all those cheap brands are cheap for a reason.

They have poor brightness and poor everything else.
