However, the response time (1ms) is also slightly faster than the PG279Q (4ms),

GTG is completely useless any thing equal or better 5ms is quite identical, but the panel does has amazing true response time all the same, TN and all...

 

Over all your personal experience was very valuable to hear out, as one would expect this is all about what the user wants, if the refresh rate and responsiveness is your thing... it does have its value and purpose, but to people who really puts image quality high there's still no way to get 240hz without compromising it.

 

Recommending this screen is hard but to the right enthusiastic it makes perfect sense.

This was my first TN monitor and that is what i was worried about. However, after seeing it IRL compared to reviews, the TN panel looks great - even from minor angles. I don't know what i was worried for tbh. TN panels receive a lot of hate, but after actually getting one, i will certainly be open to getting more TN monitors in the future.

Just for reference, TN panels receive a lot of hate because older versions sucked complete ass for color reproduction and viewing angles. Modern TN though has gotten a lot better, but most people haven't had the chance to see one or just bought an IPS instead. IPS and other tech is still better for color reproduction, but the "downsides" of going TN aren't nearly as bad as they once were.

While I don't have it, I've tried it and compared it to 144Hz and I notice difference on 240Hz in games I've tested, Quake, CS:GO which are primary target for such monitor. Specially very fast movements and looking around fast. Definitely not a huge difference like 60 to 144 but yeah, if you're into competitive fps games you may notice it. Everyone are different so some can some can't.

As far as FPS games which such high refresh rate matters the most, only Quake is another game that crosses my mind that can achieve it.

It can, Quake. The new one Quake Champions even I with R9 290 be it low or ultra I get high enough frames easily. Also game is not yet finished, needs optimizations and Vulkan is yet to come for it.

I got mine for overwatch. I was planning on getting a 144hz but saw a 240hz gsync monitor for 400 at microcenter and thought that I might as well get that seeing as it didn't cost a whole lot more than a 144hz and it comes with gsync.

Got it last week

 

EDIT: Mine is the PG version though and has G-Sync.

Let me know how you like it, looks great

Now what I'd like to see is 4K monitor with 240Hz in 1080p mode. That'd be awesome.
