The WOLEDs have horrible text clarity, the QD-OLEDs are all curved, which is annoying for productivity. On the other hand, the PG27AQN is shockingly expensive.

      Here in Finland, the cheapest ones seem to be around 870 €, i.e. $950 (USD), including 24 % VAT.
      Without VAT, as US prices always(?) tend to be, it'd be about 700 € i.e. *$765* (USD).
      The most expensive 27" Gaming monitors (1440p, 16:9), including our VAT, seem to be ~ $1,420 (USD).
      The cheapest ones (High Refresh Rate 6/2023 --> 240 Hz) ~ $380 (USD). Naturally, sale prices can be lower etc.
      The middle point, i.e. (max + min) / 2, is somewhere around $900 (USD). Or about *$726* (USD) without our VAT. Or about $706 (USD) when using 165 Hz as lower limit.
      Of course, most Gamers won't/can't buy the most expensive top model --> average price is well below the middle point.

    Hey, Tim, just have one suggestion in regard to your HDR review. I think the market in general, and your audiences in particular, are already educated enough to realise the drawback of HDR600 and below monitor certification. I don't think it's adding much to your current HUB essential checklist and should be moved to yellow or just don't mention in favour of a more severe issue.
    The reason I've mentioned this is because there are currently some monitors with HDR 1000 but still with an Edge-lit array and I think it's a much more serious case of misinformation that should be capitalised. If not putting it out of the current list, I would like to see an new tier of red flag that can be used to describe this sort of issue

  • @davidbetancourt4028
    @davidbetancourt4028 Рік тому +1

    So what this seems to be telling me is that for optimal motion clarity *with* a resolution of 1440p, this is what you should use with ELMB @ 144hz. That seemed far and away clearer than anything else.
    I'd like this in an aspect ratio of 3440x1440 however. While the Hz is a reasonable indicator of clarity, I don't really care too much. If 144 Hz ELMB looks clearer in motion, that's my jam.

Would you two be willing to make a video where you bench mark GPUs at uncommon resolutions so we can see how performance slots into your normal carts? I have a 3440 x 1440 so I imagine I’d be in between 1440p and 4K but it’s hard to tell. It would also be neat to see triple 1080p and super ultrawide displays on that list.

      Hi, did you go for this monitor? As someone using this monitor for over half a year now, the AW2723DF is overall a great monitor. However there is a flaw, which is the reason why i looked into this monitor review. GSync on this monitor is kinda buggy. I get random artifacts (mainly green/pink lines appearing for less than a second, looks like a flicker) every 1-2 minutes with it enabled which is very distracting. And sadly there hasnt been any firmware update whatsoever that may fixes this issue.

    The 300hz maximum refresh rate feels so smooth and responsive. The colors are very accurate, and I love this monitors price because spending $500 for 60 more hz just didn't sit right with me. But if you're in the market for buying this monitor, I highly recommend it.

    • @xblur17
      @xblur17 10 місяців тому +2

      To be fair, it's not just for the extra 60hz. It has a G-Sync module, upgradable firmware, Nvidia's ULMB 2.0 (the best strobing and motion clarity on the market), a better panel (brighter, higher hz, better response times, half the input latency) and a better HDR experience. It's just a better all-around monitor. Whether that's worth $500 or not depends on the budget and usecase, but nontheless, I have both monitors for my dual monitor setup and this monitor is really great. I actually like using it for media because it has nicer contrast.

    vrr strobing simply doesn't work the way people will want. To eliminate the random flickering caused by variable frametimes they use pwm techniques that gimps the motion and an effective pulsewidth that's way to large(mprt gimped), infact it can make motion worse then sample and hold the lower framerate you go.
    proper single strobed vrr with low pulsewidths is too flickery to put in a consumer product they will never do it.
    tiny variations in flickerate are extremely noticeable to human eyes even 10microseconds of jitter is visible as a candlelight flicker, why fixed hz is pretty much requried for good quality strobing.
    the way vrr-elmbsync works is by having a fixed black period at all refreshrates, if the black period is allways the same you won't see flicker then all they have to do is use pwm to equalize the average brightness. unfortunatly this results in mprt and crosstalk growing dramaticly as your framerate drops quickly becoming useless for increasing the quality of motion.
    should be called elmb-placebo

    I appreciate these reviews, but to be honest, they all start to run together for me. For me, in the market for a new monitor, I am having a problem delineating between the many choices. What we need is one monitor that is hands and fists above the others so a decision is easy. With that said, since each class is based on the same panels, I guess it isn't practical to expect one to stand out above the others.

    I tested the Asus ROG Swift PG27AQN and the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR in a direct comparison. In short, I have the feeling that both models have the same panel, only the XG27AQMR has been cut by 60 Hz. The colors as well as the image speed in terms of image clarity during fast movements (tested in CS 2 and Red Dead 2) are identical for both. Personally, I would say that the XG27AQMR is slightly ahead in terms of image movement. My friend also tested the monitors blindly and she couldn't tell any difference between the two models. Therefore the PG27AQN is not recommended.
