what only 1080p work 240 Hertz 240 Hertz 1 millisecond response time is this the ultimate gaming monitor well that would really depend if that's all you're doing in this monitor because the panel is still TN so despite the incredibly fluid 240 Hertz refresh rate there is a significant color and contrast shift at an angle Plus this XG 2530 is expensive for a 1080p monitor at $450 so then what is all that hype surrounding really high refresh monitors let's find out where this creativity is fueled by the best instruments it doesn't always come easy and in the process you often realize how important quality is the Rd 400 bio CC gives you quality and speed with M de tu interface the Shiban and flash and a pci bracket making it possible to focus on what matters investing storage that makes a difference with a 5 year advanced warranty now I would not consider myself a pro but I do enjoy the competitive scene for FBS and csgo and overwatch but I don't really want to ask if 240 Hertz is worth it because the refresh rate is one thing and if you've been training yourself at the hundred Hertz or 144 Hertz then your muscle memory is already adjusted to that so if you have an exclusive gaming station then perhaps 240 Hertz is a good option if you're just really looking to dominate in the FPS scene and really want that whole fluidity aspect and you have the hardware to match that refresh rate so I'd like to refresh my monitor history so I edit my videos on a 4k 60 Hertz panel which is excellent really good pixel density everything is super sharp then I occasionally switch to the ultra wide curved 34 inch 21 by 9 that one is 75 Hertz monitor it's really good for content especially if you find 21 by 9 movies it's really good productivity and then for gaming I've been sort of stuck to the 144 Hertz monitor from Acer it's a 27 inch panel at 40 40p resolutions so there's that really good balance of nice high refresh during IPS good resolution and good size so then when I switch to the smaller 25 inch 1080p display it really gets me thinking that for $450 you are paying for that 240 Hertz refresh rate so you got to ask yourself if a gaming station is all you want because this for other multi-purpose tasks as a monitor just doesn't fly now from a physical perspective the monitor is kind of man it doesn't have anything striking about it it does go with that black and red color scheme which I wish they would ignore you know we'd love to have something more simple the base has that brushed aluminum plastic on it that does get dirty it doesn't really hold anything you know things just kind of slide off it and I wish it was more utilitarian maybe have a little little pocket for things to put in there I do appreciate the built-in handle at the very top so you can carry the monitor easily I do like the texture in the back of the monitor plus we have this low clip that can be used to hang your headphones and then there's the clip for cables that feels kind of off it doesn't really securely sit on that stand and the bezels are nice and small and your roll feeling of the structure is sturdy but I don't like the bottom lick that has that curved and it makes the monitor feel convex like it's popping out towards you not in a good curve I'm not sure if that's by design or not but it's there and I don't really like it for cables we only have a display port USB to the monitor and a power cable I do like that it does not require separate power bank and therefore display connectivity we have dual HDMI a single DisplayPort and dual USB 3 ports plus a headphone jack and this monitor also has built-in speakers the speakers are no we're good I shouldn't use them you shouldn't use them and headphone jack is very underpowered and you have to control the volume through the built-in buttons on the monitor that's just big no the free sync range on this panel is awesome for 48 Hertz to 240 Hertz covering up to that maximum fresh weight which is so awesome so if you have a compatible AMD GPU you can reach that to 240 Hertz with fluid tear free experience of course you're going to need a beefy system in order to utilize all those hurts and while this freesync range is really good I don't think it's necessary here particularly because you're targeting this for eSports or really competitive a gamer is seeing so most gamers want the maximum possible frame rates don't don't want it capped at 240fps anyway and also freesync might introduce some input lag for games like csgo so you'll turn out off anyway and I feel like you know it's a it's a good thing to have but not for the target audience that they're sort of you know catering this to so say what you will about free sync for GN panel the colors are actually not that bad but again I would not recommend this as a multi-purpose display simply because we have so much contrast and color shift when viewed from the angles and especially when then with that vertical elevation changes the color just get destroyed for TN panel the blacks are not best because of that massive contrast shift however there's very little back like bleeding only a little bit on the bottom of the frame but it's not significant and you know you're not buying this monitor for color accuracy or color definition and depth you're buying it for the Hertz monitor brightness at 100% is good and I do appreciate that when you open the OSD we have a nice indication of the Hertz displayed on the monitor itself and the brightness and percentage on a left and on the topic of color accuracy and all that stuff I appreciate what the sonic has done here in terms of providing us all these gaming profiles that modify the black levels and sharpen the image more because for for gaming advantage you don't care about visual accuracy and all that you care about minimizing the shadows and sharpening those pixels so that you can see things a distance and things that are normally sort of comma flashed by in-game graphics so you can choose which one you like the best per particular title FPS is my favorite and color X is really good in overwatch do one annoying thing about these gaming profiles is that when you change them the monitor restarts so in a desktop that's not really an issue because you will change it everything will just go back to normal if you're not doing anything but in games for example I was playing csgo and my game crashed when I changed the gaming profile on the monitor that shouldn't happen so I wish that you saw had some better implementation on changing the actual picture profile of the monitor without it needing to be rebooted for 2017 release the navigation just feels poor if you're trying to like reduce brightness and contrast and good luck trying to rename your profile that just seems so unintuitive but as far as choosing your correct gaming profile for example if you like one or the other we have a dedicated button for that so that's appreciate it so the main advantage with these high refresh rate monitors is how much faster things just update on the screen so for example take a look at these four examples we had gone from 60 Hertz to 100 Hertz to 144 Hertz and finally to 240 Hertz you can see that mouse trail is less significant on the 240 Hertz monitor but still it's not as noticeable on the 144 Hertz and of course it's the worst on a 60 Hertz panel so outside of gaming high refresh rate monitors are really good for productivity everything's just fluid on the screen it's less you know tiring on your eyes if you try to like move windows around the stuff and just really nice I love the 100 Hertz plus for anything on desktop and whenever I go back to my 4k 60 Hertz panel it's just so painful I just want to overclock it or have like at least 75 Hertz for anything on my desktop and so then for gaming I tried my luck in the competitive arena with csgo and/or watch and the difference between 144 Hertz and 240 Hertz was not as noticeable when jumping from 60 to 144 Hertz so the one thing you have to consider is your frame rate I'm actually able to reach that maximum Hertz on a 240 Hertz panel in order to utilize the full benefit of that fast refresh rate it's very difficult to reach to 140 Hertz basically in any game you have to lower the resolution you have to lower the settings and even in my example with overwatch and csgo it was very difficult to reach that 240 Hertz mark with my 1700 X and the GTX 1080 and the second thing to consider is your skill level do you need a 240 Hertz monitor now of course checking corners and doing slicks and everything on the screen is a lot more fluid so you can observe and you know in take all that information and become but better player but let's say if you're coming from 1/144 hurts already then I would say there is no point in doing that upgrade so my experience with the monitor has been an absolute blast and you approach it from two angles one of them is like you know that the monitor is 240 Hertz so you do everything in your power to gain those 200 frames per second plus to take advantage of all those frames being updated in sync and the second thing is you kind of become a better player because everything you know on the screen has very little motion blur everything is just right there with you it's like one-to-one something that if you haven't experienced the high refresh rate monitor in the past then 240 Hertz will completely blow your way the one main advantage I see with this panel is currently the cheapest 240 Hertz Full HD monitors so if you were looking to get into the space there is no other alternative below that $450 price point and currently it's actually on sale and I want to recap this video by saying that people that are looking for 240 Hertz monitors already have maybe dedicated gaming stations something that maybe they do a little bit of productivity on the monitor but the main thing is competitive gaming so that they have the best fluid experience they know their mouse movements like you know it's stuck in the memory and people that may be trying to improve their game in the competitive arena but how many of you have dedicated gaming stations and on the sides have like a workstation PC with a better display high resolution and all that not many so again the target audience are those people who want to improve their game and have the ability to do own something like this on the side while also having a better display for everything else always they charged with linking power up power banks house and gorgeous aluminum enclosure with dual USB and type-c port with support for quick charge 3.0 to get two devices recharged fast available up to twenty thousand one hundred million power capacities check them out in description below and so that concludes my experience with 240 Hertz monitor I wouldn't say it's for everyone I wouldn't say it's even for like 90% of gamers but maybe for a lot 2% who are really competitive and intense and want to have the best possible image and the hardware to support this high refresh rate so guys thank you so much for watching make sure to subscribe and watch the other relevant content and I you the type of gamer who would want at 240 Hertz display or maybe you think with that 144 Hertz 27-inch 1440p panel which are more readily available and I would say offer better value for your money but yeah let me know what you can do you belong to and we'll see you next video
