Would you recommend waiting for any other updates like glossy coating or is there nothing on the horizon to look forward to and I should just get this one today?

[@Vainsz]

it really depends on what you value the most. I personally like matte more cause of my very bright environment, but glossy does look more punchy with the color. And apart from the glossy/matte debate, I don't think there's any downside from this monitor other than the price and the fact u gotta have a very good PC to drive it

what resolution/aspect ratio would yall recommend for competitive valorant

[@aminafact]

Hello Vainsz, What monitor settings did you use while playing Valorant on your old ASUS ROG Swift Pro PG248QP? I mean, ULMB2 on/off, OD, and I’m wondering how you can achieve the lowest possible latency.

[@LunarLikeFortnite]

use ULMB it gives a clearer image

[@henrik_lamar]

ULMB makes no sense in competitive gaming. The higher refresh rate is in many ways way more beneficial. You achieve informations sooner and the smoothness helps you aiming better.

what keyboard you using?

[@illastration1]

You said CS2 will easily achieve 480hz but the most powerful CPU that hasn't even released yet only achieves 1% lows of 360fps at 1080p. So it's not a chance in hell that you will maintain 480fps in CS2 at 1440p. Having a frame rate fluctuating below your monitors refresh rate can feel jarring in games like CS.

Screen resolution doesn't affect CPU performance to an extent. It's mostly GPU that matters at QHD and above

[@CashChris_17]

@@MarwinO3 honestly 480hz oled is really worth the upgrade. 540hz TN panels are not worth it at since the colors aren’t that good compare to IPS and OLED, and 360 isn’t really a noticeable upgrade from 240hz. Plus, the difference between 480hz and 540hz isn’t noticeable at all, and with the 480hz OLED, you at least get beautiful colors and a very VERY clear image. Also, the difference between 480hz and 240hz is night in day, picture it as if you are looking through a window, it is basically that. Now obviously, you would ONLY wanna upgrade if you are really that competitive and have the money to spare. But with your 240hz OLED, that is pretty much more than enough.

Isn't the 540hz with DyAc/ULMB2 going to be superior compared to OLED at 480hz (that doesn't have Black Frame Insertion)? I saw UFO test review by Monitors Unboxed and the TN panel looked clear by a far shot

[@Raynoxfps]

but, oled response time is better + better colors

[@tcc1234]

@@Raynoxfps Agree with the colors... I've gotten used to the newer TN panel colors by now as they're not as horrendous as the older TN panels. However, even with the low response time, the UFO tests look way clearer on the 540 Hz TN panels with DyAC2/ULMB2 compared to the 1440p (or 1080p) 480 Hz OLEDs One downside being it can only be activated at 360hz or above so any game that doesn't touch that much FPS can't use Backlight Strobing. I think this is where the OLED will shine

[@Vainsz]

I've used 540hz for a year with ULMB2, and I much prefer the 480hz oled because of the superior OLED and 1440p res. UFO tests are good, but as the target market for this monitor myself, I prefer to test the performance in game, especially in competitive high rank where it really matters. And from my experience, no difference whatsoever in terms of performance between these 2, so why not just get the extra OLED and 1440p benefits (if budget was no issue)
