Stuck Between 240hz OLED or 360hz IPS

The people spamming OLED are completely wrong for your specific circumstance. The guy said he mainly plays competitive games. You’ll rarely find a pro playing at a tournament level using an OLED monitor and there are reasons for that (DyAc is a MAJOR one). They are all on 1080p 24 inch TN BenQ Zowie

New Monitor recommendation?

Most pro gaming leagues play on 24-25” 1080p 240Hz+. I believe RLCS uses the BenQ Zowie XL2566X+. It’s 400 Hz which is a little overkill for non-pros so I reckon a nice 240Hz would be fine, also cheaper

Zowie Monitor Advice XL2566X+ (400Hz) Vs the XL2586X+ (600Hz).

Dyac makes a huge difference in cs. Its definently noticeable. For competitive fps nothing comes even close to zowies. There is absolutely a reason why no other monitors are used in high tier play. I would even take an xl2546k over an oled for fps.

Honest Personal Review: Zowie XL2566X+ vs ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG27AQDP (Competitive FPS Player’s Experience)

I have a PG27AQDM and a XL2546K, so two 240Hz older models My go to is competitive fps too since ever. At the moment back on CS after a very long break. For CS the strange thing is I'm way more consistent on the OLED , my shots are cleaner but I'm never comfortable with it. I feel awkward using it.

Color settings - xl2566k

Pulsar has less crosstalk and a clearer image at nearly half the fps

Deleted my comment but I figured it out. Having my second monitor plugged in causes the refresh rate to drop to 240hz on the main one for some reason. Never experienced that before. So I'm leaving it disconnected until I figure it out. But I'm loving this monitor! What an improvement over the XL2546

Nvidia Pulsar vs zowie 600hz

I had the XL2546k for years (240 with DyAc+). Then I tried the new XL2586X+ and returned it. I stayed above the refresh rate FPS wise. Then I decided to try the Asus model of these new G Sync Pulsar monitors and actually felt a massive difference right away. The few review videos online don't do it

xl2586x for 600€ or xl2566x+ for 500€

good choice, i was using 4k oled before at 240hz. playing at 2880x2160 at around 400fps. but still, i went back to my zowie xl2546k and just made my OLED secondary.

Monitor Upgrade Worth it?

I have used XL2546K for 2 years, then went to 2566K for a year and half, and now I’ve been using the 2566X+ for over a year. For me I think the biggest difference is the 2nd generation panel on the X+ series. Going from 240hz to 360hz and 400hz is noticeable, but not significant. However the color p
