Yes to all questions. Context: I only play counter strike. I think that is what this monitor is for. A niche use case but you have to pay if you want the best. This is a grail monitor for me.
First question A, I would buy it if it on my price range since I am using a laptop 720p 60Hz screen. Second question A, 24" inch is good. It is not big and it is not small. My laptop screen is 14" inch. Third question A, if it looks good why not. The only thing is that it should in well priced if say ya. Fourth question A, I think so. I use a 720p 60Hz laptop screen so I don't know anything about DyAc but I think as an Siege player it might be useful. Fifth question B, maybe I don't know if I have a $500 first I would focus in my Specs and if I am left with 500 maybe then I would consider it.
I’ve tried both. 1440p does look great in those games that are blurry by default (taa) but in games like cs, 1080p at 24 inches already looks good enough imo. 1080p at 27 inches is pretty bad though. 27 inches is such a distracting monitor size for me. Once 240hz 1440p 24 oleds come out and more 60 class gpus have an easier time pushing 200+ frames at 1440p native in more demanding comp games then it’s over for 1080p.
As a level 10 on faceit for cs2; these monitors are the standard to the point people share their zowie settings and that when events do content they often include players zowie monitor settings because they are the defacto monitors of almost all events even when they’re not the sponsor.
Would I buy a 1080p. Yes On Ps5 mainly an FPS player so playing at 60 or 120fps when available is more important than 4K visuals. 25” monitor is a great size when playing up close not too small or so big that I don’t have everything within my peripheral vision Currently on an IPS display so I’d have to see the colors and brightness of the display before considering it.
I currently own the lg oled 27 240hz. My spec are 7800x3d, 4070Ti super, and 32gb. I still am interested in getting this monitor though. I mainly play Fortnite so I wouldn’t mind having a very stable 240fps + dyac 2.
“Why get that good of a pc?” Lol i built the best pc that my budget allowed. I mainly play Fortnite but I also play single player titles with ray tracing like cyberpunk and Elden ring. I stated that I wouldn’t mind having a stable 240fps + dyac 2. There is not one game I play that run at a stable 540fps. I’d be better off getting the 2566K at 360hz but I’d rather try the new dyac 2 as opposed to the older dyac +.
$500 is pretty spicy for a tn 25inch but if i was a super high competitive fps gamer i would most likely opt for something like this over more of an "eye candy" type monitor.....one thing i appreciate about 1080p is its less demanding so you can get higher frames on a lower end pc as for the questions 1.B 2.A 3.A 4.B
A yes B no A yes I just got the new alien ware 4k 240hz oled and I have the Asus 1080p 360 for fps games, after watching your video though if my Asus dies I will give this a try or their 360hz version.
In my opinion MSI mpg 1440p oled 360hz and LG 4k 240hz/1080p 480hz OLED are the best competitive monitors . Asus pg248qp ulmb2 has little bit motion clarity over OLED 360hz but it's not noticable at all .
This is a good idea for viewer engagement, but I feel many will just copy and paste a comment that has answered properly and fairly, and then just tweak it a little. Perhaps in future make it a little more involved than just A,B,C or D, I wish I had a better idea though to help.
I've been playing on 1080p for years never really stepped into 1440p, 4k or 8k I've always preferred high framerate over graphics and I know you can get high frames and visual quality on 1440 p 4k etc but yeah I'll continue using 1080p until it becomes unsupported or discontinued but yeah each to their own 1440p 4k and 8k gaming is great we are all gamers at the end of the day and we like what we like lol
ngl i'm prob one of a few here but i'm not really interested in 1440p with the simple reason i don't like screensizes bigger than 25inches. i don't have a lot of space and because of it even 27inch monitors are too big for my preference
A, A, A, ? (need to see it in action, my guess is A if the price increase isn't above 20€ B if above), I haven't seen many monitors, all I know is I'm not willing to pay beyond 200€ for a monitor, but that doesn't make necessarily monitors above not worth their price, since I don't know what are monitors about that price range I don't know what would be my answer, from intuition regarding the very few videos on monitos I've seen, I'd answer with B. Having connectors not be downward is actually a requirement I'll add after this G25-10 gives me trouble with the power cable gettting loose. That control also has the on/off button? I need the buttons on the front of the monitor.
Question 1: Yes and no. 1080p at extremely high refresh rates are insane for competitive games but with 1440p/OLED monitors becoming as good as they are…there won’t be a reason to go back to high hz 1080p in the next year. I prefer looks and can’t go back to 1080p TN. So answer B. Question 2: B. I love bigger monitors as they make everything feel more immersive and also video editing and such is fantastic. Question 3: Answer B. I can’t give up the sharpness and clarity of 1440p/OLED. TN is insane for competitive fps but it’s not worth me losing that beautiful image from the higher quality panels. Question 4: Answer B. We use 1080p panels at the office and holy crap it made me appreciate my 1440p panel even if mine is of lesser quality. Question 5: Answer B. No it’s not. You can get other monitors in or under that price range with IPS and higher refresh rates even if it would still be 1080p.
I'd buy 1080p monitor. I haven't tried 1440p or 4k but I don't have any issues with 1080p. Yea 25" monitor is imo not a problem. I find it harder to actually be focused on a game with more than 27" so 25" sounds great. Yea TN panel is alright atleast for me. I haven't tried any IPS or QLED monitors but I think the TN colors look good atleast for FPS games. Yes DYAC/DYAC 2 is worth it but not 500$. No I don't think it's worth 500$. I think it would be worth it if it had like 360hz panel. 500$ is basically half of average salary where I live so no.
1.B 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.B I'm ex cybersportman, though last years I've not been playing much, last couple of years I'm more like a regular user who plays fps games sometimes when I have spare time and my work projects are paused(about 8-10 hours per week). So as for regular user XL series aren't interesting for me at all. I would say this monitor makes sense only for cyberpsport players who constantly play tournaments. But even so, if I would still be competitive player who constahtly plays tournaments, I would rather add another 200-300$ and get 2K 240hz oled 27 inch monitor. Since OLED is way better than TN in all cases, even when it comes to response time and motion clarity :) So I wouldn't suggest to buy this monitor to anyone actually, not at 500$ cost at least. Neither for pro players, neither for regular users
First answer: yes, I’d consider a 1080p. The low gpu stress for framerates is still king for competitive fps. Ntm the ppi at 24 inch, and your frame rate is artificially boosted through Dyac. I mean…… Second answer: yes. Explanation aforementioned. Third: yes I’d consider a twist nematic. But only through BENQ bc Dyac. All others can get canned Fourth: yes. If you play cod, and QS ur ass off. Ull love this. Final answer. Yup
nice: 1 A - Yes, I'm old And I need this in competitive 2 A I'm old and I need this in competitive - 3 A I'm old and I need this in competitive 4 A I'm old and I need this in competitive. 5-B -overpriced
First question: Yeah, I do play competitive FPS games. But 240Hz in 2024 is weak compared to 360/480 Hz monitor. Second question:24/25 inches is fine. Third question: TN is fine for competitive games Fourth question: The feature is worth it as it is platform agnostic. That is the best thing about the monitor. Fifth question: Not worth $500 for a non competitive user. For someone who plays competitive often enough or a competitive AM/PRO player, I say yes. I fit into the latter. I personally think this monitor is at least a year late as most decent 1440p 240Hz monitors are now $400. I don’t think its proprietary feature is going to pierce this saturated market of 240Hz monitors.
LETS GO!! Review a monitor. No to a 1080 monitor. 1440 or better. I would consider a 24” or 25” monitor. Easier to see everything on screen without moving your head. No to a TN panel. Bad viewing angles are annoying to deal with. IPS or OLED. DyAc is cool, but I’m not using TN or 1080. At $500 right now I’m looking at a 4k IPS HDR 27” 144 hz monitor and another one that is similar, but it is 160hz. 1 ms response times on those too. If it were me I’m looking at those over this monitor with DyAc.
I just have a Xl2566k and can say that it is a good Monitor but at this rate how the Monitors evolve a good Wqhd or Uhd Monitor can be a better choice if you have the Budget. I got not really better in Fps Games with it but can better see my Mistakes, if you are Young and want to get better it could improve it.
1. A. Anything is better than what I have now 😅 2. A. Same reason as #1. 3. A. If the price is right. 4 A. Yes DyAc personally for me would be worth it. 5 B. Now knowing the price no it's not really worth it. I'm pretty sure there's better out there for that price point
1. B. No, if I have a higher resolution such as 1440p I have a sharper view of the enemies. 2. B. Regarding pixel density 1080p at 24" is perfect, larger screens will blur the image at that resolution. I would not buy a 1440p monitor smaller than 27-32" which is ideal. 3. B. NO 😂, I fell in love with OLED. 4. B. Having OLED panel response times of 0.03ms... who cares about dynac 2 or ULBM 2 from Nvidia?🤣 5. A. Each segment (144, 240, 360, and 500hz) must have its price and this zowie I find its cost acceptable compared to the Asus ROG Swift Pro PG248QP which costs $900 :v
1. B. Would never go back to 1080 2. B. No won't go under 32". 3. B. Oled has ruined me, 4. B. Maybe depending on use case 5. B. No, holy crap $500 for that just isn't worth it. With all that said I'm a story game player and non competitive. So I'm considering a 4k oled.
Papa techne 1. A. HELL YES 2. A. YES 3. A. YES 4. A. Yes 5. B no it's overpriced. There's too much competition to justify 500 $ for FHD Instead of offering a gift card, restock the wasd sweaters in 2xlT so I can be stinkin cozy 😊

Check out this poll I recently did in the community tab. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOxR9J0CNzJMoDbl88NpOdD5FVfW4v9r7
They should have done a 1440p 24.5 inch TN panel 240hz.C'mon this is what we need .
They could, but most of the cs pros would not buy it
I am a diamond dps player in overwatch 2 and for me I'll take frames over resolution any day

Can't imagine going back to 1080 after 2 years on 1440.
yea thats how I feel with oled now as well
I’ve tried both. 1440p does look great in those games that are blurry by default (taa) but in games like cs, 1080p at 24 inches already looks good enough imo. 1080p at 27 inches is pretty bad though. 27 inches is such a distracting monitor size for me.

Do 1080p movies and tv shows look slightly blurry and pixelated on the 1440p?
As a level 10 on faceit for cs2; these monitors are the standard to the point people share their zowie settings and that when events do content they often include players zowie monitor settings because they are the defacto monitors of almost all events even when they’re not the sponsor.
Also none of us are playing over 1080p; most don’t even play in 1080p cause we use 4:3 stretched

There are monitors with USB-C hub costing less.
