  • This year we’ve seen some very fast monitors, with many brands now offering a 240Hz option, and some 280Hz variants as well. But now, ASUS is upping the game once again with the ROG Swift PG259QN, a 360Hz gaming monitor.

    • @Godhorse6969

      The Alienware seems to be the better deal currently. It comes standard with the Nvidia reflex latancy analyzer where there are 2 seperate asus models and the one that has the analyzer seems unavailable. I havent seen it for sale by any website. only the non analyzer model.
      Anyways up until today the alienware was cheaper by 30 dollars. Now its more expensive by 30 lol. If you care abou thte analyzer get the alienware.
      They seem to have the exact same technology

    Your monitor reviews have been so helpful with research. I'm barely looking to replace my vg248qe that I've had for about 5 or 6 years.
    I'm very curious about the "AORUS FI25F" monitor and how well it performs as a fast, FHD high refresh rate monitor. There is literally no other reviews or information out there about this monitor, outside of manufacturer specs and overviews!
    Would absolutely appreciate some sort of comparison or review on it! Thanks.

    • @Godhorse6969
      @Godhorse6969 Před 3 lety +1

      @@Mr.Reality It's been said before but this monitor isn't for the casual gamer. It's specifically made for professional competitive FPS players. There isn't information about every single in-game setting combo available. Different settings affect your overall game latency. Just an quick example 4x AA with high shaders vs 8xAA and low shaders there would be a difference. A new video setting may come out in a game that you are playing and you will be able to know exactly what latency that may add or reduce. I can't be bothered to wait for someone else to test every possible option combo for me

      1. People will share this information
      2. Games aren't gonna change that much that often (graphics wise)
      3. Everything on the lowest settings = lowest latency.. 1+1=2
      4. It's €300 euro cheaper.
      5. I'm just telling myself i made a good purchase lol. but srsly ur fine man. 360hz ur ontop of the foodchain with this monitor.
