Hi there

Acer Predator XB252Qbmiprzx 25" 1920x1080 TN G-Sync 240Hz Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor - Black/Red @ £299.99 inc VAT https://www.overclockers.co.uk/acer...descreen-led-monitor-black-red-mo-12q-ac.html

XB252Qbmiprzx, 1920 x 1080 Resolution, 100,000,000:1 Contrast Ratio, 400cd/m² Brightness, 1ms Response Time, 240Hz, 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI Input, 2 Year On-Site Warranty.

Only £299.99 inc VAT - ONLY 100 AVAILABLE!

ORDER NOW

We have 200, the first 100 will be sold at £299.99 and the remaining 100 shall be sold at £349.99, so snooze and you miss out and I doubt we will see any more after this as our cost is £403.33 exc. VAT, so the only way this price is possible is via support from Acer and my guess due to the loss made they won't be bringing any more in or once this lot is gone they are sold out.

If PUBG didn't have a FPS cap of 144, i'd really be tempted... That said, I doubt i'd be able to get near 240hz for a while!

What's the benefit of 240 over 144hz? I love my 144hz and wouldn't go back to 60hz but can't see 240 being much different?

I'm guessing that if you're into eSports etc then it's benefitial but to us mere mortals (or those over 15) then you won't really be able to tell

Epeen but you ask anyone who plays CSGO and considers themselves a 'semipro' whilst being in silver or gold then that 240 will give them the edge apparently.

Cracking price in the current economic climate, but think I'll stick with my AOC G2460PG for now. Waiting for the S2417DG or AG241QG to hit nearer this price point before I bite.

Do you notice the faster refresh rate in general Windows usage at all over a 60Hz?

ToXiC-82 · 3 Jan 2018 at 09:56

I run my monitor at 144hz all the time and to me the desktop experience does seem smoother, even with just scrolling and moving windows around.

MooMoo444 · 3 Jan 2018 at 10:14

Don't even get anywhere near 240fps in my games

Thank you for the feedback

I just switched back to 60hz and there is definitely a noticeable difference, one i'm not a fan of

ben90 · 3 Jan 2018 at 19:14

How well would this work when you dip under 240fps? I have a 1080 so would it make much difference with gsync?

G-Sync + 240Hz gives you massive amounts of flexibility.

You won't notice any difference at all ~ until you go back to 144Hz, then you suddenly notice that something is wrong. It's all rather intangible. It does make a difference, but casual gamers need not apply!!

I'm running 144hz (upgraded from 60hz last month) and to me it feels smoother.

Gibbo · 5 Jan 2018 at 10:40

The 100 at £299 are nearly gone, so be quick, remaining 100 shall be sold at £349.

Lack of self control... I guess I can justify it as a late christmas present to myself, right?

Thanks for the deal Gibbo!

240hz is about input lag smoothness and motion blur. If you turn on ULMB you will see how blurry everything else is. You actually need above 240fps to really get rid of it and match 120 or 144hz ULMB. You lose the sync bit of gsync though so you get judder. Going 240hz+ is really the only option for those used to ULMB like myself and my eyes just do not like 120hz ULMB anymore.

I shall report back tomorrow because i unboxed a 240hz screen this morning and have to leave it but dribbling about getting on later for some Overwatch and Source games at 240fps. I know my 1080 can do it because previously it was doing 3840x2160 dsr at 120hz without a hiccup. But it still was not enough!

Oh and the PUBG 144fps cap is only a temporary thing. Titanfall 2 also has this limit too sadly.
