Don't like the shield on the outside of BenQ, would take up a lot of unnecessary room in my opinion.  No point in getting the more expensive G-sync monitor when the other two both have adaptive sync and those two are basically the same, one is just 1 inch bigger so that's just personal preference, and the last one, had a much more stable looking stand. If I was picking I would go for once of the adaptive sync monitors.

so which ones do you prefer?

and whats the difference between g sync and adaptive sync

[RAM555789]

G sync is a better version of adaptive sync, but you can only use hdmi, and is much more expensive. To me the cost doesn't outweigh the benefits, you could check out LTT's videos on the difference between the two. Also consider free-sync monitors as many now have support for g-sync but are much cheaper.

Might matter a bit more if you plan to do a lot of fps gaming.

Do you have a system that can push that many pixels? Seems like a waste of money in a lot of ways.

I'd go with https://www.amazon.com/PG258Q-G-SYNC-Esports-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B06WRP3F5S/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=asus 240hz&qid=1558570586&s=gateway&sr=8-2&tag=linus21-20

But only if you have an Nvidia card. Otherwise the version with Freesync.

The shield comes off and is adjustable anyway.

I wouldn't spend that much on a monitor that doesn't have GSync.

Adaptive sync only works on DisplayPort. G-Sync works on whatever the monitor supports, which is usually DP and sometimes HDMI.

 

Also because there's no strict certification, there are many crappy FreeSync (Adaptive sync) monitors out there. Not saying G-Sync is necessarily with the cost, but it's something to keep an eye out.

Have you confirmed that you can tell the difference between 144hz and 240hz (I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 144 myself)? Tests show people are often unable to consistently identify 240hz monitors from 144hz ones. You may be able to, but it's with verifying before you spend a crap ton of money.

yeah I HAD a 120 hz and could tell the difference between it and my friends 240 but the one he had was free sync

Really you can just get the one that's G-sync compatible one from those and save some money.
