What 240hz Monitor should i buy?

[PatchyThePirate]

I want to buy a 240hz Monitor right now, for max. 350€ ($385 USD)

I would use it as my main monitor, but the priority is for upcoming eSport titles, so i wouldn't even use the adaptive sync technology.

 

 

These 3 are the only one i found to be available in the price range:

 

1. Dell Alienware AW2518Hf

2. AOC Agon AG251FZ

3. LG 27GK750F-B

 

What would you choose, and why?

I wouldn't get a 27" 1080p monitor.

So.
I guess the Alienware.

i guess i will test the Alienware 240hz monitor first, and if it's not as expected, i can only get the AOC one after that.

The only 240hz monitor iv seen reviewed that looks worth while is the Hp Omen X25f.

All the others tend to have catastrophically bad uniformity.

Personally I like 24" more than 27" regardless of 1080p just because I can have a better centered focus. Though for some on 27" 1080p the target is better which may help for some. It's for competitive gaming and not text after all.

It's a very good monitor, but quite pricey, most lookimg at 240Hz don't care much for image quality. More like an afterthought for extra price.

Personally out of those 3 I'd ge the Alienware one. 

Also, upcoming eSport titles?

it needs to be 24" 1080p 240hz, so i think the LG one is out, the only i can pay for rn is the AW or the AOC one.

Dont go near that monitor. Its as close to a 'fake' 240hz as u can get. (at least based on those 240hz monitors reviewed, im sure some of the suepr cheap un-reviewed 240hz monitors are as bad or worse)

 

The pixel response times are way outside the range of 240hz frame time.

Ah, didn't realize you don't use your monitor for anything else.

I do. I was just speaking in general, people who shop for 240Hz don't really care about color, etc on a monitor. Really some are quite decent TNs though, I've seen even worse cheap IPS ones that are bad.
