    Best monitor hands down for the price. 0.3 ms response time. 240 hz with Gsync

    https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012032?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=AFC-RAN-COM&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=afc-IGN&AFFID=3011275&AFFNAME=IGN&ACRID=1&ASUBID=01JMkdq5zvnzey49htG4Qc6&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ign.com%2Farticles%2Fthe-best-240hz-gaming-monitors&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=3011275&ranSiteID=oelFIBIMgTk-EAwVr5vNHRIaNE5uX_9_ww

    It can also run at 1440 resolution if you want. And its 27". $700

    Why do people not understand that these monitors that claim these ultra high refresh rates do not translate over to console gaming. People are pissing away money on these things when it makes ZERO difference. But as the saying goes a fool and his money…

    It might not be a huge difference for some, or if you have a really good TV... but there has been a HUGE difference between my TV and new monitor.... I can feel the difference just in navigating menus. Some are in denial I think.

    interesting...

    Legitimately feels like I’m playing BR on All Star with this monitor in WS games. Very early on Cabrera, but can still see and time off speed fairly easily.

    thank you for this post i am looking into new monitors and going to check out what you're saying

    Dude your ranked record is under .500

    Why does this matter to the topic?

    Both of your records are under .500 😂 a monitor won’t help

    Lol your record is only 60-25. Imagine making fun of people’s records when you barely have a .700 winning pct and hit .262 with Shippett as your home park 😂

    To make it even worse you’re hitting .244 this season with Shippett. Holy cow that’s terrible to be judging someone else’s record haha

    Make WS and then you can write whatever you want

    lol cant you make WS by just winning 40 games now?

    Yep

    240 Hz monitor…..I’ve done quite a bit of searching, even tried a few and returned them…..I think this is the best choice with all factors considered especially price.

    I know people will say it doesn’t matter because MLB is capped at 60 FPS, but that is false it does matter….research a little further.

    Is it going to help me not swing?
    lol
    Seeing the ball isn't the issue (for me) - swinging at [censored] pitches is.

    And don’t get me wrong. I’m pro monitor and have been for years. I’m just saying that people that are spending $700+ on a monitor for a PS or Xbox are throwing their money away. Plenty of good spec monitors to be had for $350 or less.

    This is fake news and OP must sell 240hz monitors.

    Only idiots use term "fake news".

    That's not a very nice thing to say.

    thank you for this post i am looking into new monitors and going to check out what you're saying

    Dude your ranked record is under .500

    lol are you stupid? i am 27-6 in RS this year so far and i absolutely rake

    ***27-6 strictly on allstar and doesn’t play on HOF 😂

    hahah yeah dude you bat under the 250 line and your record is really terrible considering all things like the other guys said - everyone is laughing at you in this thread remember that

    My rating is 913 bud. Welcome to the show 😂

    your record is really poor - you should take a step down and look at your horrible BA - like the other guys said you are a trash player - ill bet good $$$ RAES or anyone in this thread could smash ya down a peg in the cornfields

    I mean being 27-6 means you have played all of your games on all star or below. You can’t come at the dude for his batting average when he has been playing half his games or more on Legend.

    yeah but also you aren't factoring all of the HOF events which i love playing - plus i don't have time like a kid to be gaming all day - this is just the time i have to play this year - my records each year since 2017 are terrific - much better than that whiney random loser - also factor in how low my ERA is considering i am playing mostly on AS - its just under 2 ERA i believe

    That’s because you don’t play above the 600’s… come on now…. You’re getting on my case for what? Making World Series? When’s the last time you made World Series? Let alone Championship series…. My lifetime rank is 16314 (last time I checked)…. Out of 518,000+ players. That’s top 3% of all players. I’m not the best player and there are a lot of players who are better than me. But being ranked higher than 97% of the community isn’t bad. Considering I’ve only played DD since 2020

    How does one check their lifetime rank?

    Making WS doesn’t mean a whole lot to me. Most above average players can do it if they have the time. If you’re sitting in the 1000+ rating, that’s something that would separate you from the crowd. So just keep working on it man. Welcome to the show.

    Make it there first and then you can critique people. Welcome to the show rookie

    Made it last year with a Rockies TT. Let’s see you make it without any meta players. Welcome to the show.

    Again not that difficult. Just takes time. I don’t usually have the time to play 20+ RS games in a month. If you have the time most can make it.

    You made it in January- February when no one plays lol Nice excuse… take a lap geno… switch to RBI baseball. Welcome to the show kid

    How does one look at records and data like this?

    I play on the 65" OLED with a 120 refresh and i am close to .500 is RS. Does it make that much of a difference using a monitor? One of my sons plays a lot of COD and said the refresh rate was pretty good for a tv. I am not buying a $1k monitor to play this regardless. That a lot of good wine!

    You can find decent monitors for around $150. It definitely does make a difference but if you’re having fun now, just stick to what you’re doing.

    The key is response time. I think most newer TVs are in the 15-20ms range. Monitors can be as low as 1ms.

    I think the one i got is 1ms response. I will look....ty!

    I figured out a few things about the LG CX if that is what you have.

    Turn off HDR and Variable Refresh Rate/G-Sync/Freesync on both the Xbox/PS5 and TV side.

    Use the HDMI port in the back of the TV.

    Would this apply to the Alienware monitor as well? Currently running G-Sync, VRR, and HDR.

    I am on the verge of buying the 55" C1... seeing this made me doubt myself for a second, but I'm not going to buy a 24" 1080p monitor just to go from 120Hz to 240Hz. (Although saving a thousand dollars would be nice...)

    so turning off HDR really helps?

    Didn't realize how much I missed gaming on the couch lol

    It terms of timing, yes a monitor does help a good bit. But it won't win you games if you're not patience and methodical in your approach.
