CRT

WMO

any good 24inch monitor that can display 144hz or greater.

I like vg248q3 if you have no monies

this display has q3 in its name. =)

oh no wait no it has not

;D

lolol. I must of Freudian slipped.

Unfortunately, looks like you have to sacrifice color quality for smooth responsiveness.

Amazing how in 2018 we are still stuck with such shitty monitor choices. I can't watch movies or play dark games properly. I have the XG2401

You dont. Crt has the Best colors, contrast and responsiveness.
No?

Yeah, and it looks fooking retarded in 2018, plus it dries my eyes up.

Why would it dry your eyes, turn down the brightness.

Yeah, and it looks fooking retarded in 2018

So youre a form over function guy. Why complain about contrast then?

Its not about the brightness, CRC is just harsher on the eye

I need BOTH the CRC colors and flat panel + responsiveness

its 2018 cmon

then wait about 10 years then maybe you will get what we got from 10 year old crts

It's always "wait 10 years more" just like the cure for balding fml

i have the same problem

Same here too. Very happy that I got my vg248q3. My eyes immediately felt better.

you too writing this display with q3 instead of qe. is that some kind of insider joke?

Nah, I didn't even notice. Just never remember precisely what it is so just copied earlier post

And here I thought for a second I had a worse model of said asus monitor. :D

CRT does best picture and response but that day I bought 144hz and was able to get my old CRT and shitty square LCD off my desk - never looked back.

And I was so nervous - I tried 144hz at a freinds and was convinced it did not lag but until I got my own at home and really got to test it out after paying $450 - so glad I didnt regret the purchase because if it did lag I would have wanted my money back or smashed the thing.

oled monitors are coming

i've been hearing this shit for decades

i can watch movies with my AW2518H just fine

144hz vs 200hz?

Well, maybe it's just a placebo effect but playing with higher frequency does feel smoother.
I've been playing on 240Hz for almost 3 months now (was on 60Hz before that) and switching to down 144Hz (just for this test) felt different. Visually you'll barely notice the difference but i'm guessing the reduced input lag, albeit just a few ms, still has a small affect on your aim.

Perhaps someone that went from 144Hz to higher Hz can weigh in on how that affected his aim and general experience.

I went from 60 Hz to 240 Hz, and it feels like cheating.

which display model you both are using?

Zowie XL2540.

Can you use it just as good on lower frequencies like 144 Hz, or is there an additional downside to not use the native highest 240 Hz?

I haven't noticed any downsides on lower frequencies; it's still plenty smooth as long as the framerate matches the refresh rate.

I already wrote AW2518H few comments above :)

ah right sry =)

Yeah the difference is insane... i wasn't even shooting for the first few minutes of playing QC.. i was just so amazed at how smooth animations and model movement was.

its like a time travel... into the past xD

thx for testing!

DID U NOT LISTEN TO ME SON?

in which regard?

:D

crt if you want eye cancer, huge electricity bill, no room on desk, and extra heating in winter.

lmao crt in 2018

The last one isn't necessarily a bad thing :p

what size? 24 or 27? maybe 27 is too big for quake? or is it even better?

24!

IMO you want a monitor with Gsync if you have an Nvidia card purely for the ULMB mode. Quake in ULMB is so nice (ULMB is only available on Gsync monitors) I am looking at buying an Acer xb271hu IPS model, as I want the higher res 2560x1440 27'' with good quality colour and ULMB. It seems to have excellent reviews.

Stop overthinking it, look at what the top players are using, by average and emulate it it's not rocket science.

24inch monitor that can display 144hz or greater

Rapha was still top dog even on a 144hz monitor compared to now that he's on a 240

i am deeply looking into monitors right now. here is my journey.

240hz

It was ROG Swift PG258Q vs BenQ ZOWIE XL2540.

G Sync vs none: Some say, you do not need G Sync because it does not do anything about motion bluring. And for Quake Live it would not make sense anyway because it runs at 250fps. So what matters is blur reduction.

ULMB motion blur reduction, DyAc vs none: It works through strobing which adds input lag and can cause strobe crosstalk. Also i read that the pixels are not fast enough for 240hz refresh rate anyway. https://www.blurbusters.com/faq/motion-blur-reduction/

Price: They cost around 500 Euro.

Conclusion: These are the first generation 240hz monitors. One should wait for the next generation and then again thinking about the price one will come to the conclusion that they will be expensive, probably more expensive than the current generation.

144hz-180hz

It is ASUS VG258QR vs ViewSonic XG240R

Input lag: The Asus has the shorter input lag than the ViewSonic.

Motion Blur: The Asus uses a motion blur reduction technique which resuts in ghosting around dark objects on light backgrounds. Thus one needs to reduce it to a value where input lag comes close to the one of the ViewSonic. User here https://forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5018 state that the bluriness of the ViewSonic is way less than the one of the Asus.

Price: around 250 Euro

So i go for 144Hz because of the price and the not ripe technology of the 250Hz monitors.

I go for the ViewSonic because of the sharper image in fast games.

Here are two tests of
https://www.prad.de/testberichte/test-asus-vg...drive165Hz
https://www.prad.de/testberichte/test-viewson...ormance/6/

They also state that they found the image of the ViewSonic clearer than the one of the Asus.

The only downside for me is that the ViewSonic only has FreeSync because i use Nvidia. I want VRR for other games where the framerate is less than 144Hz. Luckely Freesync now can be used with Nvidia too. I would need to upgrade to GTX10 or GTX20 series because the needed driver was only done for those models. https://www.viewsonic.com/library/gaming/nvidia-graphic-cards Also the ViewSonic is not listed as GSync compatible https://www.blurbusters.com/gsync-loves-frees...monitors/. The ViewSonic would still be able to have VRR via the Nvidia graphics card but if it is not listed that means that the monitor did not pass Nvidias quality checks or it was not tested. Thus i wonder if the quality is not as good as it should be. Also i do not want to upgrade to a Freesync graphics card.

So i am still undecided.

edit:
Plus i would need to upgrade to Windows 10 for using Freesync with Nvidia because of the driver. *bruuuhh*

Have you tested the new 144 hz monitor or 240 hz monitor? They are popular in the market. It is better to play games with them. I found a source of the monitor, you can visit here: https://gecey.com/transparent-monitor/ or https://gecey.com/15-inch-tv/

You started this thread in November 2018 and you are still undecided in August 2019?
Meanwhile there was this:

Nah i got the ViewSonic and i am veeery satisfied. Excellent monitor. I read your post and it was influencing me. I did not take the Asus because those Hz it has more are mainly for targeting the esport kids.

Every high refresh rate monitor is targeting e-sports kids in terms of marketing (on the box) and pixels (in the game).
Your XG240R's RGB-lightning also isn't for workstation users. :)

Considering that the XG240R is also rather on the higher end of the price spectrum, I would have invested 50 Euros more for the VG278QR; it has ELMB up to 165[Hz], a couple of extra inches in diagonal, one more year of warranty and is roughly 1[ms] faster (oioioi).
But when image quality is your main concern and the XG240R beats the Asus models there, it appears to be a reasonable choice, because at the end the XG240R isn't a bad monitor.

Not to be an asshole or anything but what Quake are you going to play with this new hw?

Quake Live duel still

Aight, so it's active enough still? Personally I haven't played any Quake since 2011 so I'm quite out of the loop.

Yes at least for duel it works. In fact its quite good. Waiting times are way shorter than in QC ;D

I have done quite a lot of research on this subject recently. I would say 144hz is the Viewsonic XG240R/XG2402 and 240 hz is the Asus XG258Q with the settings Notty_pt from blurbusters recommends.

The viewsonic has great colours and both have the lowest input lag in their segment without having any excessive errors like overshoot or ghosting.

I read the lg 38LG950G and 27GL850 should be the best IPS panels regarding inputlag/reaction time.

This means great colors and still able to play competetivly.

Ofc TN panels are faster and got 240hz but you get noticable colors disadvantage.

LG also has a good quality control so you dont have to rely on luck to get a proper panel. I read a lot of people had to try out up to 10 lcds to get a proper panel at other brands.

The 27GL850 will be mine when its released
