VG258Q or XG258Q

Post by JMH » 13 Dec 2018, 08:04

Hey guys recently bought the Acer KG251QF but got really bad ghosting on the desktop white trail behind the mouse and slight over shoot in game no matter what OD setting i used

I mainly play CSGO but do play other games occasionally, Basically a weekend warrior. Casual Competitive player with CSGO to have fun

Just wondering there is a $170.00 AUD difference between them,

I have seen online the VG258Q has issues at 144hz but good at 120hz

My main issue is ghosting ETC does the VG258Q suffer from over drive issues? on Desktop or ingame?

For what i do i'am leaning towards the VG258Q i just hate the thoughts of going thru another RMA

Thanks
JMH

Just ordered the XG258Q, Tired of procrastinating really like the look and don't really like 1080p 27" either

Just wish there was more on that monitor on the net

Cheers

For apples vs apples, did you compare LG's blur reduction versus ASUS ELMB? Or did you compare non-strobed?

I'm curious how they compare on those aspects (strobed versus, and nonstrobed versus).

non strobed LG wins what i like about the asus you have adaptive-sync that work with nvidia and amd thats it overdrive 4 is balance between fast and ghosting

pox02 -- you're saying LG has excellent overdrive that keeps things really clear in non-strobed 240Hz? Interesting!
