I just upgraded to 500 Hz gaming, AMA

  1. Honestly at this point I’d rather wait couple of months for one of those announced 1440p 480Hz OLED monitors.

  2. So people love high refresh rate, high FPS gaming. I get it. But paring these monitors with monster graphics cards is crucial. What kind of GPU can run games that high, even though I doubt most game engines allow that kind of FPS?

    It’s a rich people’s game, though. If you are into great AAA titles, good resolutions and nice settings, plus want to have fast FPS, you’ll be buying XX90s every two years.

    Idk why you people fall for this marketing trick lmao, there’s no world in which 500hz vs 360hz monitor will make a difference even at the highest competitive level unless you are on lan and even then that difference is non existent in terms of impact on performance.

    If you lost fights with a 240hz monitor you wouldn’t win them in this one. You have double the input delay compared to other normal refresh rate monitors.

    That’s bananas. Do the frames flow through your long flowing hair during gaming sessions?

  5. You’ll soon realize that well over 98% of the people in this sub don’t play competitive FPS so they will tell you that you don’t need such a monitor. They assume that since they think they couldn’t tell a difference between refresh rates, that no one else could either. I’m very sensitive to refresh rates myself and can always tell a difference. I could see and feel the difference when I went from 144Hz -> 240Hz years ago, granted they were both TN panels so response times were a bit better than IPS. All I used to play was Valorant so it was easy to compare.

    Me after buying 500Hz monitor and playing it using 60Hz 🤭, OP congrats on your new purchase, hope you enjoy your new experience 🧡

    Jesus the amount of salty comments is staggering.

    Let the man enjoy his purchase for gods sake.

    I went for the asus 27″ 1440p oled 240hz myself and love it. Im curious how the 0.03 oled response compares to 1ms and 500hz. Either way! Enjoy ur monitor! And fuck the haters

    Btw i play cs2 mostly, 4:3 stretched @ 1920×1440

  8. Mr_Chaos_Theory

    Not what I’d have gone for personally but it’s your money, if it makes you happy then happy gaming!

    Did you consider the asus PG248QP? If so why did you choose the Alienware one.

  11. phero1190

    What made you choose this over the PG248QP or the Zowie 540hz?

    Enjoy your new monitor, but I can’t help but feel that one of the new 1440p 360hz oleds would’ve been a better choice. There’s even 1440p 480hz oled options coming out later this year.

    Guessing you play tournaments proffesionally, what game is it?

  14. xblackdemonx

  17. cdmgamingqcftw

    do you get at least 500 fps in any games you play ? xD

  18. ImWinwin

    This is like being a really shitty car for way too much money but it has a really good built in sound system.

  19. RupenParthu

    wt game do you play that you need 500hz man

  20. Best_Air_4138

    I’m just going to stick with my 144hz 1440p panel. I bought the gigabyte AD27qd back in 2019 and it’s still going strong

  21. oylesineyiyom

    whats your rank on all the ganes cs go valorant overwatch if u say i dont plat those i will throw nt self from 9nth floor

  22. u_sfools

    Wow the salty people really blew up this post. I’ve had the same monitor for months now, it’s already an old release and outdated by 540hz tn panels. If op is still checking – what was your prior monitor? 

  23. MysteriousDrStranger

    I’ve taken tests myself having different monitors side by side. Tldr: 60 to 120 huge difference, 120 to 240 not much different, 240+ can’t tell a difference.
