Display Enlightment by NCX

1.) I couldn't notice anything whatsoever.

2.) There's a very slight green tint on the left half of the screen and a slight red tint on the right half, I might end up returning it and exchanging it for a new one.

(1) I'm glad you like it, especially after switching from a 240hz panel.   (2) Perhaps buy a second unit and return whichever is worse  since there's always the possibility of getting a worse replacement.

Good idea, but I'm just going to get a refund. They don't stock the models in store (click and collect only), and returning them is harder than I thought (10 mile drive to the nearest store, as the local store shut down).

The colours were amazing, but I don't really need them and I had some issues with crosshairs especially on low resolutions (1024x768) but even on native (as silly as that 'issue' sounds). In reality I only play CS:GO, Civ 5 and maybe the odd MMO (two of which I can play on my Iiyama just fine). I went ahead with buying the XG2401 (out-of-stock, probably wont dispatch for a week or more) as I heard that LG's strobing isn't that good anyway (not to mention it being about $50 more), and I can always go back to the C24FG73 as I found another store which stocks it (much closer). Wish me luck back into TN hell, although anything's an upgrade over my XL2540.

Cheers for all the help and advice. I would have either kept my XL2540 (which I hated) or ended up with something much worse otherwise.

Hello NCX,

Thanks for the suggestions, I ended up with the Iiyama and I've been really enjoying it!

I also returned my BenQ XL2540 as it had a horrible blueish glow from the bottom, making everything around it distorted (let alone the awful colour presets) - and to think I originally paid over $550 for this monitor, although I really rushed into buying it back in early 2017.

I play a lot of CS:GO (at high FPS, no lower than 300), so I've mainly been looking at 240Hz/1080p monitors.
That could change, and my computer is only really capable at pushing CS past 240 FPS but G-sync would help with having <240 FPS on other games/

• The AOC AG251FG is just within my price range (goes for about £425/$560 here, after tax, shipping, etc.) and looks like a good choice according to the guide.
  
  
• The Alienware AW2518HF is quite a bit cheaper (going for around £300/$400) but obviously doesn't have g-sync.
  
  
• The Samsung C24FG73 is significantly cheaper (goes for about £200/$260). While it doesn't have g-sync and is 144 Hz, the colours (from being VA) and price difference does interest me.
  
  
• There's also the XG2401 which is also significantly cheaper (goes for about £180/$240) - again, it doesn't have g-sync and is only 144 Hz.
  
  

Also have you heard about the (unreleased) MSI NXG251? Someone on Reddit claimed it will have one of the 'next generation' of 240 Hz panels, not sure if it's worth the 3-6 month wait...

Last thing, my old PayPal was locked around 4-5 years ago (due to me being underage at the time) and I can't get it unlocked so I made a new one.

I went to donate, but it keeps saying my 'session has expired' (I've tried a different browser, incognito, different system with a different IP, etc.).

Thanks again!

EDIT:

I ended up getting the Samsung (based on your recommendations in the /r/monitors subreddit). I bearly notice the 240-144 Hz transition and the colours (at least to me) seem pretty good!

I would still like to donate if you have a suitable email / donate link.
