Few ?
- What's your PC Specs
- Budget for new monitor
- Monitor size and resolution you're looking for


Overall, if it doesn't have FreeSync or GSync, then it's pointless.

Are you worried that it isn't 240hz native? Well, it is. In fact, not the first monitor to have 240hz native.

Are you going to see a difference? Maybe. I don't have your eyes, but I would notice. Our eyes don't see in frames. You see, it's all about tricking the brain into thinking the game is fluid motion. The more frames visible, the better. 240hz means you can show 240 unique frames per second.

It doesn't have FreeSync or Gsync, so frame rates under or over 240 will bring the no-so-great visual downsides to no syncronization. Vsync would introduce more latency, so the frame time gains would probably negate or not have that big of an effect. Typically, these "professional gamers", which is who this product is targeted, don't care about screen tearing or other visual issues and only want the lowest latency possible.

Honestly, if you really want to go with a 24 inch 1080p 240hz TN monitor, then I'd recommend the Asus PG258Q. It has Gsync and will be a much more enjoyable experience over the XL2450, if you have an Nvidia GPU.

Look at ones that are IPS as well perhaps.
A good G-Sync Monitor isn't cheap though.
Otherwise just stick to 1080p/60Hz/IPS

Even if you could tell the difference between 144 and 240 FPS in a game and it made a difference in how you play, which is highly doubtful, you will have to spend a lot more money on your GPUs to render it at the high a framerate consistently. You would need 2x GTX 1080s (~$1300USD), and you would probably want a Gsync enabled monitor for when your 1080s dip in framerate. If you really want to upgrade, I would consider something else. The 1440p Gsync IPSs or an ultrawide Gsync IPS.
