Nabin

I  have choosen 5 monitor and confused to get one of them 

My gpu - RX 590 means > freesync monitor needed. 

And 5 models are: 

1. Viewsonic XG2402

2. Viewsonic XG240R

3. Asus VG258Q

4. LG 24GL600F

5. BenQ Zowie XL2411P 

I am a regular online competitive gamer. So I have to get a monitor which can perform smoothly with fastest response time.

Of the five monitors, the LG 24GL600F is the cheapest at $129.00 at BHPhotoVideo: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1457453-REG/lg_24gl600f_b_24_class_full_hd.html.

 

The Asus VG258Q is the most expensive one at $275.32 new on Amazon. There is a very good used offer, but it's missing a power cord.

 

Of those five, rtings has reviewed three of them, the BenQ, LG, and the ViewSonic XG2402 where the BenQ and ViewSonic XG2402 are selling at a higher price. The BenQ is $199.99 on Amazon while the XG2402 is $239.99 new from Amazon, but you can get a like new, so probably open box, from ViewSonic through Amazon for $179.99. It looks like the BenQ doesn't support Freesync or G-Sync and it seems to be older than the other two here. Amazon said it was first available on June 28, 2016 whereas the LG was available on February 1, 2019 and the ViewSonic XG2402 was available on September 1, 2017. Relatively, a new monitor is not always going to be better than an older one, but it seems like the BenQ is old enough that it's missing some things that monitors newer than it or have higher specs than it have.

 

Here's a comparison of the BenQ and the ViewSonic XG2402, though: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/viewsonic-xg2402-vs-benq-xl2411p/692/1580. Kind of similar, particularly with input lag, but the BenQ doesn't seem to be as good.

 

Between the LG and the ViewSonic XG2402, the XG2402 has better input lag: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tools/compare/viewsonic-xg2402-vs-lg-24gl600f/692/909.

 

The ViewSonic XG240R seems similar to the XG2402, but it looks like it's aimed at gamers at least aesthetically and with some features like a blue light filter: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/ce3zbn/monitor_viewsonic_elite_xg240r_24_inch_1080p_1ms/.

 

The more interesting thing is that it's cheaper than the XG2402 at $233.99 new and there's a like new offer from Amazon Warehouse for $176.89 with a 20% discount at checkout, so it's like $141.51 before taxes and shipping. That seems pretty good in my opinion as if it's like the XG2402, then it's better than the LG and priced at $12.51 more if you're okay with a buying a used like new, an open box.

 

Here's the response time, input lag, and motion blur section of its review on TechPowerUp: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/viewsonic-elite-xg240r/7.html. Different sites have different methodologies, so do take that in consideration when you see the numbers. Looks similar to the XG2402, though.

 

Anyway, they're all TN panels which I have heard is good for gamers who want as low of a response time. What is your budget, what's your system specifications, and have you considered 165 Hz to 240 Hz?

 

For 165 Hz to 240 Hz, if you can drive it with your system, for whatever games you're playing, and have the budget for it, maybe it would be okay. I say this since stuff on 144 Hz and 240 Hz I'm not really knowledgeable on. The ViewSonic XG2530 is a 1920x1080 240 Hz monitor that is priced at $279.99 new on Amazon, but through Amazon, ViewSonic is selling a used, like new for $209.99.

 

Amazon has the Acer XF250Q Cbmiiprx for $219.99, but I think it might have been on sale for less the past day or two.

 

If you live near a Microcenter, then you can pick up the 240 Hz model of the KG251Q for $209.99: https://www.microcenter.com/product/510224/acer-kg251q-245-full-hd-240hz-hdmi-dp-freesync-led-gaming-monitor. @Mick Naughty has a similar monitor. I'm not sure if it's the exact model, but it is a 1920x1080, 240 Hz monitor.

 

Here's some other monitors you could check out: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#F=381000000,736600000&D=165000,240000&G=400000000000,8000000000000&i=50&A=3,2&sort=price&X=0,41249&r=192001080&P=1.

Well you can compare all the models on Newegg. And narrow down by the specs. 

 

Would have to go by reviews or price next. 

Really like this acer monitor for 200 bucks. Can’t complain as it replaced on if their first gaming monitors. 

Way better than 120 or 144.

My system wont run at 240hz. 
So either I have to get XG2402 or Lg 24GL600F-B 
so I have to fix the final choice.

That's a VA panel. You'll get better contrast, overall picture quality, I think viewing angles compared to TN, but not as good as IPS. For your wants, though, as a competitive player, you might not want a VA panel as they generally have a higher response time compared to TN and on fast-paced games, you might experience blurring. Something else is that VA panels are good in low light environments, but not so great in brightly lit rooms like IPS.

 

I'm not an expert on this, so someone else would be more knowledgeable on this. Just going off articles and such I searched for.
