Is this for poor gamers to play 10 year old games at high refresh rate? No freesync or gsync means this monitor is worthless for the high end gamers.

BenQ announces 24" 1080p 240hz gaming display

240hz??
For people with 10x as many eyes as the average human.
I know the Acer and Asus 240hz monitors will have G-sync. If this one doesnt, I'd expect it to cost less at the very least.
You don't need those with such a high refresh rate. You're unlikely to notice tearing at that point.
Yes, but it's also for playing current games like Overwatch, CSGO, and BF1 with the biggest advantage possible over any other monitor today, regardless of price.
Also, "high-end" gamers would realize adaptive sync is a shitty stop-gap tech in the place of higher refresh rates.
This is really funny. PC gamers get sold on over-priced proprietary features and fail to even realize what their intended purposes and effects were in the first place. If you don't know jack shit about anything, I'd suggest you keep your comments to yourself to save yourself from showing your ignorance on the topics at hand.

G-sync adds like $100 just because you need to get the display controller from fucking NVIDIA
That escalated quickly.

HIDEOUS. Absolutely hideous.

Play at 144Hz now and would love to try it out to see if it's a noticeable difference, otherwise I play too many types of games to warrant it. Not really targeted at me but I imagine the esports dudes would LOVE this

I'd love to own a 240hz monitor, even a TN 1080p one.
But... I don't know if I could ever give up Lightboost/ULMB. Yeah, they add lag (or at least LB does) but that clarity is something else. This will be amazing for input lag, but still not not ideal for response time.
If only NVIDIA would raise their back-light specs to support 240hz strobbing...

For the people that like their gpu coil whine at max level.
That coil whine will be ridiculous. Once my GPU gets close to 200fps it becomes pretty audible.

First thing that came to my mind
I just want to see it though... I bet everything looks so fluid.

HDR and 4K is what the world needs, not this BS.
Is it true 240hz or will it be fake like the Eizio monitor a few years back?
They're usually on monitors that are specifically for specifically meant for editing images and whanots, but I think Zowie wants to use these monitors on the eSports scene so people won't look over to their teammates screen or something.

I completely forgot about that. The noise alone would drive me insane, it's still audible through headphones unless you have the sound turned up crazy high or the coil whine is very slight. Big nope.
This thread sure contains a lot of ignorant shit, not everyone plays games that requires triple titan x just to have over 60fps.
Reflex is pretty much the most recent quake cpma clone which I still can easily run over 300+ fps on 1440p.
It's like people in this thread are younger than me, I still have memories of using CRTs with over 200hz.
Or maybe because there isn't any FPS that actually beats Quake 3 when it comes to gameplay? I'd call sure as hell call quake players more "high-end" than anything else lmao, calling them poor is stupid and ignorant.

Do people even get who this monitor is targeted to?
I keep seeing trash comments like if this monitor is targeted to the average gamer. This is just for the pro scene or people who understand and value the importance of playing at high framerates and to be able to see them, not only having the benefit of the low input lag that comes with high FPS.
Also people commenting on Gsync/Freesync, the pro scene does not even bother with that, do you honestly think a pro gamer who turns all settings down for maximum framerate and as little input lag as possible is gonna be bothered by tearing? Also Gsync does not support more than 144hz and it is automatically disabled when the refresh rate goes above that, in case your ignorant asses do not know that.
Come on people, if you come here to complain about this monitor/technology you don't even understand why it exists so stop wasting your time posting here, also... you DON'T need a Titan XP or SLI or Volta to be able to play at that framerate so don't be ignorant, last time I checked CSGO, Dota, Overwatch do not look or need insane hardware to run well. You can achieve those framerates with budget cards like a 970 if you turn all settings to low... which is something pro gamers do you know.

Well, unlike 144hz, 240hz is an even multiple of 24fps, 30fps, 48fps and 60fps. So it's really practical in some ways for non gaming applications. Like HFR Blu Ray, if we ever get it.
This is probably the closest thing pro gamers will ever get to a CRT, especially if they get black frame insertion technique that doesn't create any input lag. That's a pretty big deal.

The blinders are actually so that nobody can see your porn.
They should be a bit longer, don't you think

No G-sync isn't an issue at 240hz. Just turn V-sync off at that point, tearing almost invisible at 144 except on video, I can't imagine it being an issue at 240.
