post it as a deal.
Consider it yours if you want to. I CBF.
$599 if you wait for a 20% eBay code.
That RRP… lol
That was a quick edit 😀
but can it run Crysis ?
Probably not worth it. At that price a 1080p resolution for a 25" screen is kind of dumb, even if it is a fast-IPS panel (240Hz) with both g-sync and free-sync.
At that same price you can get a 2K resolution 27" monitor with IPS panel capable of a refresh rate >=165Hz (though not 240Hz, which is very good) with either g-sync (bit more pricey) or free-sync.
I guess the main selling point here is the amazing refresh rate and being both G-Sync and Free-Sync ready.
It is 360Hz not 240Hz.
Though I really do wonder what practical difference there can possibly be.
And you can get a 280Hz monitor for $499

Oh it is too. That's certainly where the cost is, then. Guess it's attractive to people who are competitively good at CSGO and similar games.
Good deal if you're strictly really into competitive gaming (CS:GO, Valorant) and have the money to spend :)
This has regularly been $600 during the 20% DELL eBay sales.
Always been tempted to get one of these, currently use a 1080p 240hz monitor. Probably best to upgrade my CPU first (waiting on the AMD V-Cache CPUs), 3900X/2080TI combo usually hovers around 200fps in Fortnite competitive.
Most online reviewers have concluded that 60 to 120hz is a massive noticeable jump in performance. However 120 and over has diminishing returns. Most people don’t notice much of a difference over 144hz. I had Asus TUF 280hz for playing FPS games like CSGO and OW and while 280hz FHD was buttery smooth, I didn’t feel I had any competitive advantage compared to my 1440p 144hz LG. And I’m on 1gbps fibre connection with very top tier 2019 gaming specs. I stick to my LG now for all games, I think QHD with 144hz is the sweet spot right now.
So yeah, this probably is not “bang for your buck” purchase for most gamers.
If anyone is interested there are 3 of these being sold "As New" on the Dell Outlet at $499

This is 240hz, while the one in the OP is 360hz.
My mistake, please ignore my post.
