I have to turn the lights off to see anything on my 2233RZ, it's almost dead.

I'll wait for QUAKEPRIME to buy a new monitor tho.

my 2333rz gets darker and darker :(

so XL2411Z-3D or asus vg248qe gonna do upgrade today

xl2411z masterrace

and SSD 240.0 GB CORSAIR Force LE series x2 or
SSD 240.0 GB CORSAIR Force LE + 1TB hdd, 240gb is more than enough for me

Yes. Personally I've found Benq XL2411Z best as it has really low input lag. the colours are shockingly bad out of the box, but you can use adjust colour settings/use nvidia colour settings in the nvidia control panel to fix that.

Definitely, feels much closer to a CRT than the good old 2233rz.

i can get today benq or order asus for next week, so?

benq xl2430t best!

get benq xl2411z

For me it wasnt. I sticked to the 2233rz. The asus is just way to bright and after "acceptable" brightness adjust, too low in contrast. The colors on the 2233rz are better too imo. Only thing which is superb on the asus is the very low response times.

just load some ic profile u find acceptable, lower your brightness to 25-35, low blue light 10, profit.

As i said. too low contrast ratio, after putting down brightness. I had this screen two times for about 3-7 days and was testing and calibrating a lot. Downloaded all possible color profiles on the net.

dunno man photo mode + some lg icc profile worked for me, colors are now even better

its done i bought XL2411Z now need to setup colors this look like shit

congrats with buying 144Hz monitor in year of 240Hz release

lol i got it cheap

robbed someone?

no just cheap in like store, wtf im not ciminal like u

does it matter? after 3 years you need another anyway.

While the quality CRT's lifespan is 10-20 years and are still better for Quake than any 4538 Hz noghost potat while cost as much as a pouch of sunflower seeds.

shit ton better than 2333rz

how long do you have the XL2411Z now?

1 day, but u can forget colors looking like on old samsung, its just diffrent not worse, just different

samsung will die cos of back lights eventually or whatever they are called, happened to me and a shitton of other people... you can see the screen but it's darker than mutombo

whats the best way to compensate the darker-problem? i tried it all, monitor profile, graphic card driver settings

doesnt work buhu :(

the screen panel has like an inner light that iluminates the screen from the inside

people think it's some capacitors that eventually die from the panel, many people tried replacing those but it wouldn't work anyway

My only advice to everyone who has a high end pc screen is to stick to the power cable that comes with the monitor, if you happen to move your pc or similar keep in mind you shouldn't plug a random power cable into ur screen.

how is the power cable an issue?

im not sure tbh, the newer ones bring a ticket tied to the cable saying so... Keep everyting on default and it will work longer..

After 2 years and a half mine backlight died(the invertor that powers the backlight was the issue). Luckly I had extended 3y warranty and was fixed for free... working for 2-3y more after that to nowdays wothout a problem. The invertor in it is for another sm monitor, hope it's better quality than the 2233rz one. :P

i think i do it the makie way and buy the XL2411Z.

everybody says this monitor is fast, BUT i cant find good deeper review tests.

im still on 2233rz :D it's 4-5 y/o I think, hope it don't break.
I don't play nearly enough to justify upgrading it.
the difference isn't that big I think? in terms of input lag, and 120 vs 144?

yes it is, feels alot better

Monitor is a lot more than just hz. 2233rz(I use it for years) have good hz, but otherwise is bad. When I send it for repair that took 2m I used my old sm t220 and hit more lg while on 75hz. It's reaction time, colors are far better. So 144hz monitor will be not much of a diff hz wise, but technology wise that will make it far better. Still, would wait for 240hz monitors.

I mean, I don't care about colors and shit, only input lag and refresh rate, and perhaps 'blurriness'. I looked up that t220, and if you did 'hit more lg' that was for reasons other than the monitor to be fair.
I read a review on the 2233rz long time ago, it has avg. input lag of 10ms - meaning: skipping 1 frame occasionally, and rarely 2. I'm sure newer models are 0 or close to that - that's great but not huge diff.
120 to 144 isn't substantial either. higher fps cap and refresh rate is gonna have diminishing returns, considering low server fps of 40.
ye I will wait until prices go even lower, or my 2233 breaks. :D

T220 is one of the best 60/75hz monitors out there. It's known and was largely used from gamers back in the days. Response time is better than 2233rz and colors far better.

yes, TN panel with low input lag. still, 75 vs 120hz is actually huge. response time and colors don't make you 'hit more lg', lol come on let's get real here.

2233rz is smaller and uses 16:10 instead of 16:9. You see more on lower fov and have bigger targets on XL2411Z. 2233rz has 15ms input lag vs CRT, 5ms more than XL2411z.

pecka pointed out, it might be better to wait for 240hz release if you're happy with 2233rz for now, although that monitor will probly be really expensive on release

Wait for quake champs + 240hz monitor :)

final thoughts:
feels like crt really, and when u setup colors brightnes etc, screen is good for everyday use, 10/10 buy recommended

But can you really put a price on that body. how much statues gonna be for fans who cant play quake but need motivation/Masturbate material?

business plan is already in motion, more info in august
