Little help with choosing a monitor, mainly for tac shooters, mainly CS2.

Post by zgs » 28 Feb 2025, 15:31

Hey guys, hope yall doing well, thanks for reading and the help.

Can someone suggest a good monitor that it has no ghosting and motion blur, no PWM and it is flicker free, possibly 240hz or more, and it doesnt utilize any strobing at all, like dyac etc, is there such a thing?

AFAIK, and the research I've done so far, this should be a zowie monitor, something like XL2546X and XL2546X+, but it seems without the dyac, they do tent to be a bit with more input lag and more blur, can someone confirm? I've tried to look online at UFO testing with these 2, but can see much.

Is the + version indeed better? Is DyAc good for the eyes (saw someone here said it was, some other peeps said it wasnt, bit confused about this too)

Generally i think i'm looking for a TN panel or something that could be easier on the eyes, since i used to have XL2411, plain version, and as far as i can remember i had no issues, but since i changed it and bought Benq Mobiuz EX2710 (IPS), have been experiencing eye strain and headaches if i play a little bit too much (could just be my eyes too..).

Thanks for reading guys, sorry for long text, any help is much appreciated!

Hi,

It's the contrary, while you use strobing you have slightly more input lag (DyAc etc).
I had the XL2546X so i can talk about this monitor :)
It is one of the best 240hz TN actually but i think the XL2566X+ is better overall.
I have some UFO test for the XL2546X when i had this monitor, i don't share it here, if you want it, come in PM.

Some IPS are less eyes friendly because of strong backlight technique and some KSF Phosphor on it, so i agree with your statement.
Also, what games you want to play with your next monitor ? i mean, you specify CS2 but there is only this type of FPS games ?

Hey Anonymous703819, thanks for taking the time to reply, kyube too.

I'm not able to communicate through PM's since I'm new to the forum.

Just posted a message, but not sure where it went lol, so I'll retype it here.

Thanks for the info, I'm now mostly trying to decide if i should go with XL2546X or XL2546X + version, gonna be playing mostly CS2, some R6, BF1, Rust, something of the sorts.

In regard to XL2566X+, might need to upgrade PC, since I'm not able to reach stable FPS with current setup, that's why I'm deciding between XL2546X or XL2546X+, 240 vs 280hz.

Current setup:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (5.3GHz)
GPU: ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 Ti EVO OC Edition 8GB GDDR6
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 16GB DDR5 | KF552C36BBEK2-16
PSU: COUGAR GEX 850W 80 Plus Gold CG31GE085001P01
Mobo: ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2
SSD: 1TB Corsair MP600 CORE XT SSD | CSSD-F1000GBMP600CXT

Read somewhere that the + version has like better colors, but it has worse coating and it could look grainy and greyish compared to the non + version?

Thanks!

Hi, sorry for the one year later answer, yes the "+" variant have a more grainy coating, as for colors i don't really know.
