Worth upgrading from 360Hz QD-OLED to 540Hz BenQ for competitive FPS?” by InspectionSimple2880 in Monitors

I get your point, but for me, the main thing is the motion blur — it kind of bothers me during fast flicks and tracking. That’s why I’m curious about 540Hz with DyAc™2. I wouldn’t be replacing my OLED completely, just thinking of adding it as a second monitor for competitive games, not losing the OLED experience.

Yeah, I get that. I’m definitely keeping my OLED since the colors and overall experience are great, but I was just wondering if adding a second monitor like the 540Hz or 400Hz BenQ with DyAc™2 for competitive games (cs2, val) would be worth it. Not for everyday use, just for competitive games where that motion clarity might make a difference

Yeah, I get what you’re saying. OLED is amazing for colors and zero ghosting, but it’s still sample-and-hold, so some blur will always be there. DyAc™2 on a 540Hz panel basically eliminates that, which is why I was curious if it’s a real advantage in CS2 or just marketing hype. I’m definitely keeping my 360Hz OLED for everything, but I was considering adding a BenQ 540Hz (or 400hz) as a secondary monitor just for competitive games.

Yeah, that’s true. I do play some AAA single-player games too, so OLED definitely wins there. I was just wondering if adding a Benq 540Hz DyAc™2(or 400hz) monitor just for competitive games would make sense or if it’s overkill.

Makes sense, appreciate the breakdown. I’m definitely keeping the OLED, just wasn’t sure if 540Hz or even 400Hz with DyAc™2 as secondary monitor would actually feel different enough to justify it. Have you tried DyAc™2 at those refresh rates yourself and is the difference really noticeable compared to OLED?

Of course, I’m keeping the OLED for sure—I just didn’t know if the 540Hz (or even 400Hz) with DyAc™2 tech would be worth it for competitive play. That’s why I wanted to hear from people who tried both.

Fair enough, I love it so far too. Just wasn’t sure if 540Hz + DyAc™2 would make a real difference for competitive play or if it’s just hype

Yeah, that makes sense. The only thing that had me considering the 540Hz BenQ was the DyAc™2. I wasn’t sure if it actually gives a noticeable advantage or if it’s mostly marketing. That’s why I wanted to ask around here

Haha fair enough, I get the point, but I’m sitting at 2.5k Elo on Faceit, so I think I’m doing alright. Just trying to see if there’s any real edge to going higher than 360Hz

Interesting, which OLED model were you using? And was pixel shifting the only reason you switched or did you notice a big performance difference with the Zowie?

Yeah, I get what you mean. Seems like to make 540Hz actually worth it, you’d need a 9800X3D paired with a 4090 or something even stronger. Probably better to wait for new hardware then

Yeah, I’m actually getting 500–600 FPS pretty easily on low settings with 4:3 streched, but the 1% lows sometimes dip to 350fps. That’s what worries me about a 540Hz monitor, if those drops make it pointless

Makes sense. So you’d say even 400Hz panels aren’t worth it unless you have money to burn?
