my XL2566K vs. XL2566X+

Hello, long time since I last posted - I bought the XL2566K that I am VERY satisfied with about a year++ ago for mainly playing CS2/ WoT.
I am moving away from my current appartment and will leave this display to my sister .
right now the situation on the Israeli market is like this - A brand new XL2566K costs about 1050$ and is barely available anywhere in the country. (being "outdated" and everything)
the new 400Hz version - XL2566X+ - costs about 100$ less. (Yes - these prices are insane but we have VERY high taxes here)
I read a bit about this display - they reduced the size to 24.1" , and people have said that the colours look a lot better than older TN monitors(???)
thing is even my new PC (I'll be getting 9800X3D, some fast DDR5 32GB RAM, and something around the 4080 probably) - I saw that people do not seem to get over 360fps %1 lows even with like alien rigs in this game.
what would u do if you were me? ofcourse, one will argue that paying 100$ less for more refresh rate is a nobrainer, but I am not sure how does this display perform in general

If u're happy with XL2566K, why not keep it and buy some random cheap monitor for your sister? Problem solved. She probably doesn't care about high refresh rate anyways? Or are u using your sister as an excuse to buy your self a new toy
? Been there.

colors and brightness are insanely good on the xl2586x compared to the xl2566k if the XL2566X+ has the same colors and brightness as the xl2586x def. worth the upgrade.

well I heard that XL2566X+ is a massive upgrade in terms of colours and in addition it has Dyac2 ?
XL2586x is something that there's no point getting right now for me personally... CS2 doesnt maintain 540fps++ , it dips to around 360fps on its %1 lows unfortunately.

heh, no, My sister plays games that benefit from high refresh rate and has 400-500 frames+ , currently uses my old XL2540 @ 240hz, she wants 360hz so..

Nah it's just a waste of money, i bet xl2566k is still better, dyac2 looks nice in a full screen crosstalk UFO tear, how noticeable in game, I can't tell
