When I was in the CS scene, there were no monitor arms. Everyone just used Zowie or whatever the tournament sponsor was. Maybe now it’s different.

[@zazabean23]

@Adam and Eve both are bad. You're better off buying a CRT

[@zazabean23]

@Adam and Eve all LCD's are trash so that's automatically a false statement. It's also not a good monitor at all. I'm more educated on displays than you, please don't calm me dumb when you have no idea what you're talking about.

[@zazabean23]

@Adam and Eve I don't care what any review says about it. Facts are facts. Anything else is irrelevant. a crt is far better than any LCD

[@zazabean23]

@Adam and Eve it's one of the better LCD's out there for sure. If we're comparing LCD's to CRT"s they're aren't even close.

[@Mahazu.]

Gotta love the honesty

[@staticvoidmain]

You're probably the first reviewer who explained this - how they really all use the same panels (AU Optronics, etc). This really does help bust that the myth that a certain manufacturer has a "better" panel. Kudos! To be fair though, I would probably still consider the manufacturer mostly based on their warranty process.

[@kenkaneki2509]

they might use the same panel but the manufacturers tune their panels differently. so on factory out of the box panels they would still differ. if you wanna know by how much you need to check in depth reviews. for 240hz anyway the differences were quite clear and the so was the winner when i did research for it. 360hz not so sure. so far they seem quite similar, but then agains theres not much of them

Hey Bijan, i know the monitor is a few years old by now, but i recently bought a Asus PG35VQ. I would love to see how you would place this monitor into your "tier list" among your other tested ultrawides. I just bought it and i'm seriously impressed how well it holds up. Using it with HDR enabled titles made me a strong believer. How well the 512 zone backlight works with the VA panel to deliver excellent contrast ratio is just unbelieveable. Even if it's a little slower in terms of pixel response times than other modern monitors, it still has a 200Hz refresh rate and thus feels extremely responsive. Plus it's still the only HDR 1000 ultrawide on the market.

[@hastyar5776]

Which will you recommend homie For apex legends competative? Alienware aw2521hfl for 325$ Or Benq zowie xl2546 non k for 400$? And can you review artisan mousepads and all the hype surrounding them thank you

[@kendrictan8209]

I was considering the MAG251RX and its 240hz instead. As someone who has interacted with both iterations of the MSI monitor, would the MAG251RX be a much better choice overall? Hmm...

[@LuvEx.]

yes

[@ImOnMy116]

I can definitely understand the base being a big issue for the folks who are taking monitors to tournaments. I guess I just assumed most folks dropping $600 or so on a monitor, would be using the vesa mount for home use. Maybe 5 years ago I was introduced to vesa mounting monitors to an arm, and I’ll never go back to using the stand. Having that extra space on the desk is easily worth the additional cost!!

[@BijanJamshidi]

So which one should i get? ( I mainly play games like Apex, R6, Valorant, but will be playing more single player games soon because I just got a new PC)

[@tianaep]

You just got yourself a new sub

[@XIMCentral]

I guess until BenQ decides to release a Zowie 360hz monitor its best to go 240hz if picture enhancing advantages are important to you. Also thanks for mentioning that ULMB only works until 120hz! Oh and did anyone find Wamai this time? :O

[@yasinarslan208]

What about the XG2431?

[@legu333]

Why are you never also comparing 1440p as viable competition monitors? One argument you had in a previous video said that the benq is so good because the ghosting is minimal compared to 360hz so the 1-2ms difference is negligible which makes sense. But then why is the clarity not relevant which is gained from moving from 1080p to 1440p.

[@TriWaZe]

I just upgraded from my 24 inch 1080 to a 24 inch 1440p and I am hard pressed to see much more clarity at all. I mean yeah in games theres a little but it aint worth it. Sellin these and goin back to 1080.
