The reason why overdrive is set to 100 on the VG259QM is because when using ELMB it is FIXED to 100 and not changeable. The reason why the monitor is set to 240Hz instead of 280Hz is because it was impossible to do a direct comparison due to the test not dealing well with different refresh rate monitors, they both have to be on the same refresh rate. That being said i have not noticed any motion blur performance difference when it is set to 280Hz. I will have to return the Asus monitor soon but if i have the time i'll upload another video testing the Asus with different setting (like for example 280Hz, ELMB off with different overdrive settings, VRR on etc).
@@PsychoDuckTV9000 The asus monitor definitely has some nice things going for it. Overall when it comes to motion artifacts i find that BenQ is the winner, but i have found that in certain occasions the Asus performs better in this regard. It kinda depends on the color of the moving object and the color of the background which it will have to change to. Very basically said, the Asus seems to perform better when it comes to extremes, eg. black to white. This is very apparent with scrolling text; the BenQ has a weird color shifting when you scroll through black on white text while the asus displays the text almost perfectly. I tried to show it in the last test of this video, but it is not that apparent on the test unfortunately . Also each monitor has some better motion performance when transitioning from certain colors to other colors. With the ufo test the Benq had the advantage that most of the color transitions happen to be where the Benq is good at. I will post another more comprehensive comparison between the monitors with Aperture Grille's frog test, which hopefully shows this better. That being said, the reason why i choose BenQ is like i feel like the the monitor has been manafactured to be the best adjusted when it comes to competitive shooters. The Asus may perform better on color performance but i feel like enemies in CS:GO for example are just more quickly visible. It's almost like BenQ calibrated the monitor to make enemies in shooters very quickly visible. Now i don't know if this is true, but overall i had a better experience playing CS:GO and Valorant on the BenQ. Also i find that BenQ's black equalizer is a lot better then the Asus's one, which again is something you'd want for competitive shooters. So what it really comes down to is personal preference. You'll have to prioritize what you find the most important, learn as much about the monitors and then make a choice. For me personally, while i do like to play casual games and use the monitor for other purposes like for example photo editing, i decided that the performance and features of the BenQ has for competitive shooters outweigh it's cons (eg. screen uniformity is miles better on the Asus) for my personal preferences. So while the Asus is a very impressive monitor, and better on certain regards, i personally chose for the BenQ.
@@vadimfrasineanu1345 The XL2546S has been discontinued. Why this happened is still up for speculation. Rumor has it it might be because of a parts shortage due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that they might start selling them again in September. Other rumor has it the model will be replaced by a newer model, which either will have a new exterior design but same specs, or better specs. I'd suggest following the discussion about it here: forums.blurbusters.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6206&p=55057#p55057
Due to a lot of people asking i have done more motion blur tests on the VG259QM on different settings. I will post a video soon showing the results of different settings (eg. 280Hz, different overdrive settings, ELMB off, VRR on etc). The VG259QM on some occasions has less motion artifacts (motion blur, overshoot, ...) then the XL2546S. It kind of depends on the color of the moving object and the color of the background. I might also make a more comprehensive comparison between the two monitors, which will hopefully further show the difference between the two monitors. I'd also like to point out that these tests only showcase motion blur performance. There are other variables to look out for, for example input lag, screen uniformity (which the VG259QM beats the XL2546S due to being IPS), color performance etc.
the big difference is the refresh time of the Zowie have a TN panel and the Asus have a IPS panel , it has a little of blur but isn`t a lot , i love it
Ima get asus cause you cant tell the difference while playing. Its only when you actually try to look for it. Cause ik I'ma prob mount my zowie/asus when another monitor thats better comes along
@@realatugaming602 You can actually tell the difference when playing. Motion blur is like the same level of problem you encounter when you have 60Hz. Having a lesser motion blur means you can easily focus and track your targets, unless you're playing games other than FPS.
Wouldn't it have been better to test the Asus with VRR and ELMB both on? It's one of the only monitors that can run both simultaneously and should increase motion performance.
not sure what games you play but have you compared thme ingame? i find the ufo test does a really bad job at actually being representative of your entire screen moving really really fast, not sure what to blame it on (crosstalk mby?) but the vg259qm looks the same if not slightly worse than my 2411z benq, the results on ufo test is identical to the pixel from what you show here hmm slightly better without elmb, but still practically identical to a generic old 144hz monitor
I’m a bit late lol, but it probably will because the frame rate locks to your refresh rate unless of course you can hit more than 280hz which in that case you don’t need gsync at all with that monitor.
in the video the brightness looks about the same. In person was the Zowie a lot brighter in Dyac mode that the Asus? I'd always heard the Zowies did something special to be brighter than other monitors with BFI enables
Yes the Zowie can get incredibly bright even with backlight strobing enabled. Personally i permanently have backlight strobing enabled and i have the brightness at 31% (i believe it was also set between 30 and 40% in this video), at night before i go to sleep even that gets too bright for me. I don't have the Asus anymore but I remember it definitely could not get as bright as the Zowie with backlight strobing enabled.
@@mrburns366 Tbh that's hard for me to remember, I definitely found it's brightness good enough for me when using the monitor with ELMB but I can't remember what brightness level i had it set to. So for me it was fine but that's rather a subjective answer to your question, maybe someone measured the nits the display outputs under ELMB somewhere?
@@Aomicplane i wish Rtings would do that in their reviews and also look for double strobing in the different refresh rates of BFI. I guess i should just get a Zowie or the new Blur buster certified Viewsonic.

How does the asus monitor compare to benq ex2510 . I have watch youtube videos that proves that ex2510 can actually give low motion blur with around 300 nits close enough to benq 2546xl/asus 240 hz while only being a 144 hz monitor . So yeah maybe pick that one .
Hey thanks so much for all the helpful comments. I did have one more question, I heard that the BenQ has some bad out-of-the-box colors and needs quite a bit of fine-tuning to get it to look great. Did you follow a guide or have a website to recommend for the best settings for it?
I think most of them performa the same if youre into the blur thing. Only difference is the white wash effect fron tn or was it va panel? And worse viewing angles from tn and va. And great color reproduction from ips panel. In terms of performance, its all quite the same but i think the va or tn panel have the upper hand because their on the high refresh rate monitor market longer than ips. And they cost usually lower but again, ips having the viewing angle and more natural color reproduction is worth the premium cost
Hi my man, you got a new subscriber here! Ive been watching your videos and it helps a lot. I have a problem with my Asus TUF V279qm. When i test it with 240hz 280hz it always appears an orange line saying: "Potential browser stutter occured (1)". And it doesnt matter which overdrive i set, the problem still persist. I would highly appreciate some help.. because im so hype with this monitor, but lately i have kinda ghosting or micro stutter and i dont know why :( Also, the best config as i can see is 280hz with 120 OD right? Thanks in advance!
Would you mind doing a side by side with the Asus set to 60 and 80 overdrive which seem to be best as 100 introduces alot of ghosting. 60 for casual 80 for esports. This would be very helpful and would complete my thread on these 2 monitors on BB forum. thank you so much for doing this. Also would love to see them compared with adapive sync on/gsync on both monitors.
100 introduces overshoot not ghosting. OD 80 has minimal ghosting with minimal overshot but for some reason Asus doesn't let you set it to 80 with ELMB (anti-blur) so it's a lot blurrier if you want to use OD 80.
@@ashsii really? is this at 240 or 280 hz? I have heard ELMB sync uses 80 OD on 280hz from some BB members. I dont really care for the 280hz just seems like a good prices comp 240hz monitor with elmb sync
@Ad53 Would appreciate if you could give me a few answers to my questions. 1. What happens if I couldn't maintain 240 fps on the zowie with DyAc+ on premium? 2. On the Asus am I able to tune the Overdrive if I had Adaptive Sync + ELMB Sync turned on? I had hard time maintaining 240 fps in some games so I'm thinking the asus would be the best in my case because it supports strobing and frame syncing. But the overdrive constraint to 100 is a big drawback. :(
Imo, it's not so bad. Maybe slightly worse, but the IPS pannel offers way more benefits in multimedia and regular browsing than TN pannel. Obviously, if you're trying to go pro in fps, mainly for valo and cs, zowie is the way to go. But, i think if you are average gamer IPS is way better.
i think you should go with benq mobiuz ex2510, it has amazing color accuracy, very low response time and very low input lag, not to mention there are so many features comes with mobiuz and has nice sleek design , and as i remember mobiuz is the newer product than xl2411k ..
xl2546 is the older version, xl2546s is a newer version, but the stopped producing that one and started producing the other new version which is 2546k, the difference between those 2 is only the monitor stand
@Ad53 hi bro, hope you will read my message, i wanted to know color OSD settings. And then I wanted to know if in the service menu you left the crosstalk area at 10. Thanks
You mean the color temperature setting right? I have it set to: User Define -> R:94 G:95 B:95 And I have the gamma setting at gamma 5. As for the service menu, I haven't changed any settings in there so everything there is probably set at the default setting.
Then basically u should go for the asus because the main advantage which makes the benq stands out of all the 240hz is the DyAc, there is a vid made by Bijan showing that without the DyAc, the benQ zowie blur is significantly worse than other opponents
Nah tried xn253qx, xl2546 and xf252q and dude, Acer is so underrated man. The xf252q is #1 for comp, it's just that benq zowie is sponsoring every fucking tournament, that's mostly the fame that makes people buy it.
Higher refresh rate wont increase response time. Benq is wayyyyyyy better. Ips is not even close to tn, forget the 280hz. Even 300hz with ips will be blurry.
bro i have the same monitor can you pls, give me what settings you use od gain for AMA and what are you use for strobing persistencs 1-25 and crosstalk Area 1-100
@@Blue-bf8lv eh sort of. another elmb sync monitor has the same response time as this one (3.3-4 sec) and it has much clearer ghosting so it has to be something else but maybe a firmware update could reduce it a bit if it doesn't have to do much with the hardware
due to how accurate this video could possibly to looking for exact information on top specs you look for, its insane youtube insecure trolls have already got to disliking this lmao, not that it actually matters though its just weird how such as an informative yet unpopular video could already have some. my thoughts, the xl2546 or rather not to mention it being the xl2456s, was so accurate. it was actually nice to look at and expect from a competitive and casual perspective. even the lighting and color was nice, not sure if thats due to settings though. the tuf vg256qm though... i feel that ghosting was way to noticeable especially for the fact its only at 240hz here rather than the full 280hz. channels like linus tech tips have i think been using some kind of "pursuit camera" setup as he hinted at in the video for the pg259qn for capturing close up and high quality screen motion. even though their captures were blurry for the comparison of 240hz to 360hz, the ghosting still seemed minimal or at least opac but still noticeable. i wonder how much it is in-person or with your recording with 280hz and the 360hz. in addition again, when doing the text scrolling test, it could just be settings but it seemed grayed out or musky/misty towards the ends. the transitions that you made, especially later on when it cleanly goes from one line of a monitor to the next monitors same line was really nice. some videos ive seen fail to do that so it doesnt seem accurate at all for comparison, this was so accurate it was precise to. it seemed the only time the xl2546s ever had some kind of noticeable ghosting was on the front of the alien's ship window at only 15 fps, and its not really noticeable unless you are looking at the front to see that line of the slightly opac and behind ship's front window edge. so it only shows or gets worse at lower or bad fps. i was wondering if you had dyac on and elmb, and the description shows that you do so thats even more impressive, not to mention the monitors themselves being the s version of the xl2456 thus containing the dyac+ and marketed 0.5 milisecond response time, but its also the tuf vg256qm which i think is the 2nd highest desktop monitor refresh rate being 280hz as of now, and with elmb over ulmb (and asus holds both the highest of 360hz and this 2nd highest of 280hz). thank you for making/showing this video/observation.
@@ayrton3494 In a5hun's review about the VG279QM, which is the 27 inch version of the monitor, he measured that the monitor has a very good response time. So if the VG259QM is the same it's pretty good for competitive gaming. As for the BenQ, nobody tested it response time yet, but since it's a TN panel it's probably very good.
I bought it directly from ZOWIE but they were only available for a very short time until they replaced it with the XL2546K. That model uses the exact same LCD panel so the performance between both these models are equal.
Yeah we can see Zowie one is doing little bit better but Asus is ips, 280hz and almost same result as zowie tn panel. And in my country zowie one is litteraly 2x asus price. Nice job asus im more than happy with this vg259qm
The settings the creator of this video chose is the best for motion clarity already this is not misleading. Want proof? This review is of the same monitor but 27 inch: www.aperturegrille.com/reviews/ASUSVG279QM/. Overdrive is locked to 100 when turning on ELMB. Turning off ELMB makes the motion a lot blurrier so must be on for best clarity. Turning off ELMB makes Benq win easily because of DyAc+. Also 280hz vs 240hz makes pretty much no difference to motion clarity so this comparison video is still valid. Everything said in this comment is based on the review I linked.
BenQ 240hz TN 1080p for 530€ is not something well. Asus 240hz IPS 1080p HDR freesync, gsync, speakers for 370€. Asus is doing very well. DyAc on BenQ is nothing special or gamechanger. BenQ is just horrible prices for cheap TN panels that are by far out of time
Benq is Benq... its obvious why any pro players choose for it... anything different than that is bullshit... and thats why they obviously charge for that... literally its insane.
If the overdrive setting wasn't fixed to 100 on the Asus when ELMB is turned on, it would have been a pretty close call. On certain occasions the Asus performs better to the Benq when it comes to motion blur effects (motion blur, overshoot, crosstalk etc). Scrolling text for example looks a lot better on the Asus. The Benq does some weird smearing on scrolling text.
That Asus is the sorriest excuse of an IPS monitor i've ever seen! Even in this video i can see that the Zowie, a TN monitor, is more color-accurate than the Asus... Absolutely disgraceful, lmao. xD I give it a Shameful Display/10!
I think still the 1ms on tn panel is not same 1ms on ips panel And still benq is the best choice for competitive players I have xl2546 and i dont know if xl2546s worth to upgrade or no ?
LOL is this a running joke? because the VG259QM's ELMB sync has way better motion clarity than Dyac from benQ. What this UFO test does not include are pixel inversion artifacts, Microstutter, and tearing and about 20% more motion blur(since the benq has lower refresh rate) The VG259QM will crush this monitor if there were in practice results. one major equation is "SYNC". with ELMB-SYNC included, there's no tearing, microstutters, judder, stutter, and PIXEL INVERSION artifacts. The BENq does since it's TN
@@Aomicplane fps setting Occasionally, a person in charge appears on a site reviewed by a computer. Doesn't another country appear on Amazon? I don't know if any other content has restrictions. im also 2546s user, I feel like I've been hit by the back of my head.
Zowies will always be better because of the panel it uses. It won't matter if an IPS has .5 ms response time, the problem with IPS is it will always have a limitation switching from lighter to darker scenes and vice versa.
Yes true but if zowie wanted to switch to ips and make the non ghosting tn panel show on ips they would have to lower it to 144-165 cause they not smart enough yet to do so. And if they do make a 240 im sure there will be ips monitors that 400+ fps that almost look identical to the ghosting on zowies
The reason why overdrive is set to 100 on the VG259QM is because when using ELMB it is FIXED to 100 and not changeable.

It’s because of the TN panel if u want great colours go for IPS panel
Are these monitors lowering their brigthness, when you enable DyAc or equalivet mod on Asus?
that was what I'm looking for

Does any know if a budget TN panel will perform on the same level?
I think most of them performa the same if youre into the blur thing. Only difference is the white wash effect fron tn or was it va panel? And worse viewing angles from tn and va. And great color reproduction from ips panel. In terms of performance, its all quite the same but i think the va or tn panel have the upper hand because their on the high refresh rate monitor market longer than ips. And they cost usually lower but again, ips having the viewing angle and more natural color reproduction is worth the premium cost
Hi my man, you got a new subscriber here! Ive been watching your videos and it helps a lot.
I have a problem with my Asus TUF V279qm. When i test it with 240hz 280hz it always appears an orange line saying: "Potential browser stutter occured (1)". And it doesnt matter which overdrive i set, the problem still persist.
I would highly appreciate some help.. because im so hype with this monitor, but lately i have kinda ghosting or micro stutter and i dont know why :(
Also, the best config as i can see is 280hz with 120 OD right?
Thanks in advance!
isnt that benq TN panel and have DyAc feature?
Would you mind doing a side by side with the Asus set to 60 and 80 overdrive which seem to be best as 100 introduces alot of ghosting. 60 for casual 80 for esports. This would be very helpful and would complete my thread on these 2 monitors on BB forum. thank you so much for doing this. Also would love to see them compared with adapive sync on/gsync on both monitors.
100 introduces overshoot not ghosting. OD 80 has minimal ghosting with minimal overshot but for some reason Asus doesn't let you set it to 80 with ELMB (anti-blur) so it's a lot blurrier if you want to use OD 80.
@@ashsii really? is this at 240 or 280 hz? I have heard ELMB sync uses 80 OD on 280hz from some BB members. I dont really care for the 280hz just seems like a good prices comp 240hz monitor with elmb sync
@@peachesasmr9366 just leave it on 60 its fine and activate low latency mode
@Ad53 Would appreciate if you could give me a few answers to my questions.
1. What happens if I couldn't maintain 240 fps on the zowie with DyAc+ on premium?
2. On the Asus am I able to tune the Overdrive if I had Adaptive Sync + ELMB Sync turned on?
I had hard time maintaining 240 fps in some games so I'm thinking the asus would be the best in my case because it supports strobing and frame syncing. But the overdrive constraint to 100 is a big drawback. :(
U can make custom refresh rate resolutions down to 100hz and they dyac would still be fine
Imo, it's not so bad. Maybe slightly worse, but the IPS pannel offers way more benefits in multimedia and regular browsing than TN pannel. Obviously, if you're trying to go pro in fps, mainly for valo and cs, zowie is the way to go. But, i think if you are average gamer IPS is way better.
would u say the vg259qm is a good monitor? or should i go for the vg258qm (tn version) ?
tight now i have a x25f, but im not really satisfied with it
259 better
benq zowie xl2411k 144hz dyac 24 vs benq mobiuz ex2510 24.5 inch full hd gaming monitor 144 hz 1 ms
Which 1 is good for gaming??
i think you should go with benq mobiuz ex2510, it has amazing color accuracy, very low response time and very low input lag, not to mention there are so many features comes with mobiuz and has nice sleek design , and as i remember mobiuz is the newer product than xl2411k ..

What is the defference between xl2546s xl2546k and xl2546?
The letters.
xl2546 is the older version, xl2546s is a newer version, but the stopped producing that one and started producing the other new version which is 2546k, the difference between those 2 is only the monitor stand
@@gimse4197 and dyac plus but not that noticable
@Ad53 hi bro, hope you will read my message, i wanted to know color OSD settings. And then I wanted to know if in the service menu you left the crosstalk area at 10. Thanks
You mean the color temperature setting right? I have it set to: User Define -> R:94 G:95 B:95
And I have the gamma setting at gamma 5.
As for the service menu, I haven't changed any settings in there so everything there is probably set at the default setting.
so what are the best settings for the benq monitor?
right monitor have overshoot
Can you test without the ELMB and DyAc
Overdrive 80 for the asus
And high for the BenQ
Then basically u should go for the asus because the main advantage which makes the benq stands out of all the 240hz is the DyAc, there is a vid made by Bijan showing that without the DyAc, the benQ zowie blur is significantly worse than other opponents
@@R3yne
Thank you for the feedback ❤️ i watched the video now the BenQ is just fuc*ed up🤢
Which monitor did you keep to use?
So I guess BenQ is still the best if your really competitive?
Nah tried xn253qx, xl2546 and xf252q and dude, Acer is so underrated man. The xf252q is #1 for comp, it's just that benq zowie is sponsoring every fucking tournament, that's mostly the fame that makes people buy it.
@@azeQify benq is the way to go for fps , can't beat that monitor
um can u repeat this test but have the asus montior at is spec rate/ 280hz/80OD..why would u run the test and not run the monitor at its intended fps?
Higher refresh rate wont increase response time. Benq is wayyyyyyy better. Ips is not even close to tn, forget the 280hz. Even 300hz with ips will be blurry.
bro i have the same monitor can you pls, give me what settings you use od gain for AMA
and what are you use for strobing persistencs 1-25 and crosstalk Area 1-100
Have you tried the TN version of asus (vg258qm)?
I believe the VG258QM is definitely better than the XL2546 and VG259QM. It's a state or the art TN Monitor.
What about MPRT test respone time ? Do they differ?
Mprt is how long the pixels stay on the screen for. So generally you would want to get a monitor with under 1ms mprt
U can literally see in the video the one on the right has way more ghosting which means higher response time
@@Blue-bf8lv eh sort of. another elmb sync monitor has the same response time as this one (3.3-4 sec) and it has much clearer ghosting so it has to be something else but maybe a firmware update could reduce it a bit if it doesn't have to do much with the hardware
due to how accurate this video could possibly to looking for exact information on top specs you look for, its insane youtube insecure trolls have already got to disliking this lmao, not that it actually matters though its just weird how such as an informative yet unpopular video could already have some.
my thoughts, the xl2546 or rather not to mention it being the xl2456s, was so accurate. it was actually nice to look at and expect from a competitive and casual perspective. even the lighting and color was nice, not sure if thats due to settings though.
the tuf vg256qm though... i feel that ghosting was way to noticeable especially for the fact its only at 240hz here rather than the full 280hz. channels like linus tech tips have i think been using some kind of "pursuit camera" setup as he hinted at in the video for the pg259qn for capturing close up and high quality screen motion. even though their captures were blurry for the comparison of 240hz to 360hz, the ghosting still seemed minimal or at least opac but still noticeable. i wonder how much it is in-person or with your recording with 280hz and the 360hz. in addition again, when doing the text scrolling test, it could just be settings but it seemed grayed out or musky/misty towards the ends.
the transitions that you made, especially later on when it cleanly goes from one line of a monitor to the next monitors same line was really nice. some videos ive seen fail to do that so it doesnt seem accurate at all for comparison, this was so accurate it was precise to.
it seemed the only time the xl2546s ever had some kind of noticeable ghosting was on the front of the alien's ship window at only 15 fps, and its not really noticeable unless you are looking at the front to see that line of the slightly opac and behind ship's front window edge. so it only shows or gets worse at lower or bad fps.
i was wondering if you had dyac on and elmb, and the description shows that you do so thats even more impressive, not to mention the monitors themselves being the s version of the xl2456 thus containing the dyac+ and marketed 0.5 milisecond response time, but its also the tuf vg256qm which i think is the 2nd highest desktop monitor refresh rate being 280hz as of now, and with elmb over ulmb (and asus holds both the highest of 360hz and this 2nd highest of 280hz).
thank you for making/showing this video/observation.
So which one of the two monitors do you prefer?
Benq is superior in gaming
@@wwayne8789 why
I don't understand much because I don't speak English but in short is it good? Would you recommend it to me? VG25QM
For the price, the VG259QM is a good display with very good qualities.
Ad53 and for competitive?
@@ayrton3494 In a5hun's review about the VG279QM, which is the 27 inch version of the monitor, he measured that the monitor has a very good response time. So if the VG259QM is the same it's pretty good for competitive gaming. As for the BenQ, nobody tested it response time yet, but since it's a TN panel it's probably very good.
@@Aomicplane but zowie is a shit of brand that still using tan panels when asus msi, gigabyte, Alienware use better panels
So what do you think , what is the best monitor between this 2 ?
ASUS VG259QM. because it's better in every aspect except 1 thing. ghosting(or blur if you turn off blur reduction)
Benq. Cause with asus youll lose to benq in 1v1, cause the enemies is not clear enough for you to hit.
@@wwayne8789 asus is better, the clarity is both is insane but asus is cheaper and ips panel and 280hz
@BertonesTV benq still using fuck Tun panels for really expensive price
Most csgo and valorant pros are switching anyway dyac+ off for example "Tenz" because it increases input lag ..so the Asus is better
Is the VG259QM suitable for FPS?
@@Artur-bq5ib actually not, ips panel today are better and even faster than tn panels, zowie is a badass brand still using tn panels

In this test VRR was off, ELMB was on and dyac was set to premium.
@@Aomicplane thx for answer
Great video with direct difference no bullshit Thank You.
is it acually 280 hz
HDMI or DP?
where did you buy the benq zowie 2546s?
I bought it directly from ZOWIE but they were only available for a very short time until they replaced it with the XL2546K. That model uses the exact same LCD panel so the performance between both these models are equal.
amazing review
is samsung oddysey g4 better than anyone of these?
Yeah we can see Zowie one is doing little bit better but Asus is ips, 280hz and almost same result as zowie tn panel. And in my country zowie one is litteraly 2x asus price. Nice job asus im more than happy with this vg259qm
Excuse me, why are you deleting my comment? :) This test for asus vg259qm is not correct. please change overdrive to level 60.
80 you mean. which is the ideal overdrive for eSport titles and 60 for casual games. WOuld love to see those to overdrive modes tested
The settings the creator of this video chose is the best for motion clarity already this is not misleading. Want proof? This review is of the same monitor but 27 inch: www.aperturegrille.com/reviews/ASUSVG279QM/. Overdrive is locked to 100 when turning on ELMB. Turning off ELMB makes the motion a lot blurrier so must be on for best clarity. Turning off ELMB makes Benq win easily because of DyAc+. Also 280hz vs 240hz makes pretty much no difference to motion clarity so this comparison video is still valid. Everything said in this comment is based on the review I linked.
Dude, The Monitor = Benq. Benq really do this job very well.
BenQ 240hz TN 1080p for 530€ is not something well.
Asus 240hz IPS 1080p HDR freesync, gsync, speakers for 370€.
Asus is doing very well. DyAc on BenQ is nothing special or gamechanger.
BenQ is just horrible prices for cheap TN panels that are by far out of time
Is this with ama on premium on the benq?
High as per description
Will ghost decrease if vg259qm is 280hz?
No
@@wwayne8789 yes, I noticed less artifacts and it gets closer to the benq
Love ur vid
Try trace free as 60* on asus, 100 is so much my monitör but i cant difference in 120hz 20-40-60, (0-80-100 is not good like in this video)
Good one mate!
As someone who has a VA panel, I'm jealous
which one is better for valorant?
@BertonesTV nope shit tn colors
I will go with benq of course 👍
I do not understand sorry, it has a good response time, it is good for competitive
И какой лучше?
Benq is Benq... its obvious why any pro players choose for it... anything different than that is bullshit...
and thats why they obviously charge for that... literally its insane.
If the overdrive setting wasn't fixed to 100 on the Asus when ELMB is turned on, it would have been a pretty close call. On certain occasions the Asus performs better to the Benq when it comes to motion blur effects (motion blur, overshoot, crosstalk etc). Scrolling text for example looks a lot better on the Asus. The Benq does some weird smearing on scrolling text.
which one do you prefer? I want to buy one of the 2
which buy?
That Asus is the sorriest excuse of an IPS monitor i've ever seen! Even in this video i can see that the Zowie, a TN monitor, is more color-accurate than the Asus... Absolutely disgraceful, lmao. xD
I give it a Shameful Display/10!
it seems wrong to me to compare tn with ips
I think still the 1ms on tn panel is not same 1ms on ips panel
And still benq is the best choice for competitive players
I have xl2546 and i dont know if xl2546s worth to upgrade or no ?
Benq looks fantastic in the input lag and responsiveness but otherwise worse on colors
LOL is this a running joke? because the VG259QM's ELMB sync has way better motion clarity than Dyac from benQ. What this UFO test does not include are pixel inversion artifacts, Microstutter, and tearing and about 20% more motion blur(since the benq has lower refresh rate) The VG259QM will crush this monitor if there were in practice results. one major equation is "SYNC". with ELMB-SYNC included, there's no tearing, microstutters, judder, stutter, and PIXEL INVERSION artifacts. The BENq does since it's TN
according to your test my opinion is that Benq is better
i really wish i can see shit on a 200nit screen. rip strobe function for me.
Even with strobing the Zowie is extremely bright actually. With strobing enabled i always have it around 30-45% brightness otherwise it hurts my eyes
benq have zero ghosting bro wtf

im also 2546s user, I feel like I've been hit by the back of my head.
The BenQ looks the same in all the tiers if you would say lol what an absolute beast 😭 the asus is also a close second and it's a solid ips holy crap
Zowies will always be better because of the panel it uses. It won't matter if an IPS has .5 ms response time, the problem with IPS is it will always have a limitation switching from lighter to darker scenes and vice versa.
Yes true but if zowie wanted to switch to ips and make the non ghosting tn panel show on ips they would have to lower it to 144-165 cause they not smart enough yet to do so. And if they do make a 240 im sure there will be ips monitors that 400+ fps that almost look identical to the ghosting on zowies
