ASus MG248Q or Ben-q XL2430T ???

[George Daniel]

Hey guys, I don't know what to choose between these 2 monitors: Asus MG248Q or Ben-q XL2430T
I play most Battlefield and FPS in general, and Fifa.
I will buy a new graphic card when new Nvidia's and Amd's cards will be available.
I also like to watch movies a lot, so I want to know what monitor have the best colors.
I know that TN panel is not very good at colors, but I don't want a monitor to washed out.

Hi,

If I had to choose it would be the ASUS. However, I recommend you get this:
http://www.amazon.com/AOC-i2367Fh-23-Inch-Frameless-LED-Lit/dp/B009V8F700/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1464165068&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=aoc+i2369vw

I have a very similar monitor and its amazing for the money. AOC hasn't got the best rep, but its still a great 1080p display.

I want to enjoy playing at 144hz That Aoc is just 60hz

 

[alexkensit]

To be honest, 144hz isn't that noticeable.

 

[MatG-DK]

144Hz Is very noticable !!! It run so smooth you wouldn't believe it..and when you first gaming at 144Hz you will never return to "laggy" 60hz 😉

 

[alexkensit]

Only if you have the hardware to power it.

 

[MatG-DK]

Only if you have the hardware to power it.

Still the best buy is MG248Q or save small amount of money and go for VG248QE that also runs 144hz.
You're not forced to run at 144hz, you can run 60hz for that matter

 

[alexkensit]

Yeah, I know I've never really understood this whole 144hz thing, think you better answer this one!

 

[MatG-DK]

I would recommend everybody to game on a 144hz monitor..
You can have powerfull graphic cards but if the monitor only runs 60hz its like driving a sportscar with a pulled handbrake ;-)

Now i have Cpu I5 4590, 8 Gb Ram and gtx 660, but i will upgrade my pc with a new nvidia or amd card soon.

have you bought the ASUS MG248Q? Just for interest as I'm having the same question about which monitor is better...

I have the MG248Q and have also had the VG248QE in the past. The VG248QE is cheaper but perform just as good. MG248Q has just a better design..

The monitor i am waiting for is the PG248Q because its gonna be a 180Hz ROG Swift monitor...but not cheap i'll guess 😉

 

[marcelmiro2000]

So you would prefer a monitor like BENQ XL2430T, as it has more functions? Or the ASUS MG248Q is the right choice?

ASUS MG248Q

 

[marcelmiro2000]

MatG-DK can I ask you last question, although its not related to this post pls?
Would you buy RX 480 graphics card, or save up and wait more to buy the GTX 1070?

I'm a Nvidia guy so i would buy GTX 1070..

But the ASUS MG248Q has freesync and no g-sync 🙁

No, MG248Q has no FreeSync and no G-Sync, it has Adaptive Sync wich works with both Nvidia and AMD.

Read here: https://www.asus.com/Monitors/MG248Q/

The one with AMD FreeSync is the 27" MG278Q

[marcelmiro2000]

So adaptive sync is like having FreeSync and G-Sync all together?
Because I've searched this in the internet and it doesnt explain it like this.

Edit:

I seems that i made a mistake. Adaptive Sync is FreeSync. But nevertheless i have MG248Q and have disabled AdaptiveSync on my monitor. It works perfect without AdaptiveSync with my Nvidia GTX 980ti.

I misunderstood or didnt do enough research before i got it. My mistake.

Like i said i am wawiting for the PG248Q monitor that will have G-Sync and if i knew what i know now, i would have bought the VG248QE instead of MG248Q and saved some money.

So I dont buy the ASUS MG248Q?
Because if you're not using the adadptive sync then it would be better to get the BENQ XL2430T as it already comes with none of these functions.

Personally i would buy the VG248QE and not MG248Q or BENQ XL2430T.
Best performance for the money..

 

[marcelmiro2000]

Well I really dont care the price/performance thing, as my parents said they'll give me a monitor only under 350€ :3
So whats the best monitor under that price?

But you are gaming with vsync on (and some input lag) or vsync off (and screen tearing ) ?
