    Adaptive sync will not stop working beneath 50 Hertz. Instead frame-doubling will be used to simulate refresh rates within the aforementioned range of 50-180 Hertz. For example, at 25 fps the monitor will still work with 50 Hertz and every frame will be displayed twice so as to achieve synchronicity between both values. That is how every adaptive sync display with a large range works, although this will not be the case for monitors with a range of 40-60 Hz or similar.

      @hafieyz hafiz If everything works properly, you should not. Playing at 25 fps will still be a pain, though, no question about it. This isn't magic.
      By the way, if you dip beneath 25 fps, there will even be frame-trippling, 24 fps will be displayed at 72 Hz by the monitor, each frame appearing thrice.

      Where did you read that? I heard if fps drops under bottom frequency then it works like without adaptive sync or it starts to flicker.

      All VRR monitors operate within a specific refresh rate range that can differ depending on specifications of the monitor and the implementation of the technology. For example: A monitor can have a VRR range of 30hz-144hz. This means that if you are getting 30-144fps in your game, your VRR technology will be working fine. If you go below or above this range, your VRR technology will be disabled, and you may notice jitter or tearing. You can find the VRR range on the monitor

    Great Vid! Watching this on my X34GS.. Its an awesome monitor for work and play. The response time and refresh rate is very noticeable in games, flick and tracking shots seem much easier without all the stuttering and ghosting from my previous 60hz monitor. Image quality is also great, only thing that is not great is the HDR which looks like when you turn the contrast levels to max.

      How is the white / grey color uniformity? Meaning, the LG panels are suffering from a reddish to greenish tint (from left to right). I currently have a LG 34GN850 with this issue using the same panel. Are you seeing this on your unit? Thanks!

      @@Beats24-7 Hi, I took a look at your picture and yes I have the same reddish/green tint on a white background. But what I would say, for an average joe like me, it's not an issue and I didn't notice it before on either work or gaming (hopefully this still holds true and I'm not like...aaah I cant unsee the red tint. lol). After using the monitor for a while my biggest con is that the rear inputs are low down on the screen and face up, so if you have a monitor arm if tends on pulling the cords.

    If it doesn't work with Freesync they might as well have put a proper G-Sync chip in it. Now you might as well go for the Alienwara. The only downside to that is that it's limited to 120Hz.

      120hz isnt good enough, besides that often the gsync modules comes with other issues such as scanlines, added cost, added power usage. I had a monitor with gsync modules and i dont want that again. Rather go full bore 180hz no sync tech, this way you also get the lowest input lag.

  • @CarlSonic1230
    @CarlSonic1230 3 роки тому +2

    Very useful videos, specially considering the almost inexistent coverage of this monitor! I wanted to ask you a couple of (maybe too specific) questions:
    1) Does the sRGB mode lock the overdrive setting? If so, what level does it lock it to? I tried the LG 34GN850 and it locked it to the medium setting, which is nice at 144 Hz, but 60 Hz sometimes shows some corona or inverse ghosting, specially in darker games such as The Binding of Isaac.
    2) Do you happen to know if it accepts a 4K signal to display it downscaled? For example, from a PS4 Pro or PS5. And in that case, can you set the aspect ratio to 16:9? I think I read somewhere that with AdaptiveSync enabled, the option to change the aspect ratio is greyed out and locked to 21:9 unfortunately.

    • @BodyslamGaming
      @BodyslamGaming  3 роки тому +2

      I'm not sure about the sRGB locking the overdrive setting but as far as the ps4 goes, yes. It will take a 4k signal and downscale to 1440p 16:9.

    About your Black-outs on x34gs: its cable issue nor hardware. the out of box cables does this issue and dont use a hdmi at all on this for pc ,I HAD use Dp on x34gs if any help i now use the oldest cable ever from Predator x34 2016 mod Dp cable our of the box and it does 180hz 8bit & 144hz in 10bit with no blackouts ever i dont know the name it`a not readale anymore on the cable, but u may can google effort : out of the box acer Predator x34 i guess. however the adaptive sync does not seems to work om my x34gs eighter or at least the yellow nr refresh rate just jumps wild in any games even standing still watching the floor and the FPS are stable while the monitors refresh rate jumps from 1-180 like a beast in terms of how fast it turns numbers and how huge the range is? gsync/apative sync no booth tryed alone and mixed. to be clear : All options tryed out in my knowledge to show correct refeshrate from the x34gs refresh rate Num display yellow numbers on the top corner the x34gs meny to clear that out as it will not sync with games fps. maybe it does it correcty but show me wrong numbers, anyway its not like that on my first predetor x34 or ever seen with friends or other reveiws -its been np until x34gs
    IPS blomming corners is this monitor flaw if u ask me? and the relexed panel shows all behind your screen however its amzing on other terms as u say. but vs the x34 did a better job on light settings for bloming and colors is not to bad on x34. i love the x34gs vivid , however i cant stand the corner bloom is to high for 2020 and 2022 new screesn included. Also this panels as i also saw on your reveiw here does not has a good anti reflexuion at all, x34 kills is there to: so what to go for now? the alienware AW3423DW? well has Pc oled tech does a bad job with render sub text`` pixl are. So it`s great for nothing else than gaming and true hdr movies. so its not a option for me i must read i must editing in programs. i dont know what to do now. return the amzing x34gs vivid that blooms to much that i am thinking about just go back to x34 due settings for bloom lose som colors . Most importen in everything is basic principles and that did stop continue after the flexscan 2007 model s2411W Eizo that had it all but ofc only 1080p and 61,2 hz but a hell of a panel that consumed to musch power due the world wanted to consume less power du money 2000 offices working in one builiding. I cant se how that tuned out well cuz now we ha pover consume G and its consus more oin 2022. also i love the old Eizo s2411W that has native 16:10 there to not 16:) also 99% full rgb`s with spider ware. omg vivid colors. next was stop was acer x34 2016 due 95-100 hz 8 bit color 21:9 4 ms gsync. 3440x1440

      If u want more vertical then 27 inch and want ultrawide get 38 inch 3840 x 1600 it's taller. Acer x38, Alienware 38, lg 38, are your options for 38 inch. Tried the Alienware and lg. Both good but I didn't like the framerate hit from 3840 x 1600. 3440 x 1440 is good for me
