Hey man, I hope u can help me. I need a fast monitor, I moving, and I need a small monitor, fast and comfortable for my XSX. I have a LG C1 48, is really fast and I believe, in the market right now, can’t find a monitor with the same response time on 120hz under 550USD, I think this and two models of Alienware IPS, but the DyAc 2 with 120hz in console, is worth it?

If you have an Nvidia card go into control panel and turn on DSR to DL scaling 1.78x which is 1440p. You will now have 1440p resolution in game on a 1080p monitor. It looks pretty damn good.

Do you consider 24.5 inches as small? I’m stuck between a 24.5 inch 360 hz monitor or a 27 inch 240 hz monitor. They are both the same exact price. Which do you think I should get?
@MinimalisTech
@MinimalisTech 2 ай бұрын
For anything outside of competitive gaming yes I find it small. If I’m only doing comp gaming 24.5 is perfect. If anything else for productivity I’d want two side by side.

XL2586X is 540hz + dyac 2 and I don’t think it’s out yet. I was on the fence between 2566K(360hz dyac +) and the 2546X (240hz + dyac 2)I decided to go with the 2546X. I was leaning more towards the newer dyac 2 vs the 360hz with last gen dyac.

@@iNasteable ngl canceled the order and still haven’t made a decision. Primarily because i was and still am currently using the LG oled 240hz. The reason i want the 2546x is to have solid motion clarity. I’m just not sure if it going to be that much better than my lg oled 240. I also was considering the 2566k cause at least the 360hz would be a worthy upgrade. However to take advantage of dyac + on the 2566k, the game you are playing needs to be run at a stable and constant 360fps. Zowie also recommend that you run the 2566k in a single monitor setup to make it easier on your PC to achieve the frames. I don’t want to sacrifice my second monitor just to try and hit the 360fps. That’s kinda why I’m still leaning towards the 2546x. But again I’m not sure if switching from my current oled 240hz would be worth it
@SilverJoystix
@SilverJoystix Ай бұрын
I’m leaning towards just getting the xl2546x. $500 is reasonable. $1,000 is going to give me buyers remorse. I’ll take the extra $500 and buy some computer speakers or something

need an insane PC to achieve those frames, even a lot of competitive games aren't optimized for those frames even with the best specs. I think they released it too early, hardware needs time to catch up. also more than a thousand dollars for a 1080p monitor is kind of absurd
