    • There's other forms of backlight strobing that are actually good like ASUS TUF ELMB sync and ULMB sync on some gsync compatible monitors. I've heard the Acer 270hz 1440p has really good backlight strobing for an ips panel and might be what you're looking for

That being said, his solution to the problem was stupid, lmao... he could've just set his 360 IPS monitor (The one with superior color presentation) to 240 hz, instead of getting a TN monitor (Dogsht colors, all yellow and green, ugh...). xD Rich people have very little common sense. ;)

RetroArch has an option for "black frame insertion" which operate on the same principle, and even when it's 120hz getting cut down to 60, the motion clarity was enough to convince me.

I bought a Samsung Q80T for use as a lounge computer display as it was touted as one of the best gaming TVs on the market for brighter rooms (OLED isn't bright enough for my setup). This TV has hideous amounts of inverse ghosting, I can visibly see my room get brighter at night with the lights off when moving around in some scenes (in particular, Witcher 3 and Valheim during the game's night).

  • Dude, THANK YOU for not leaving us esports enthusiasts out to dry on your channel. So many other channels hardly cover anything about the latest 1080p esports displays. Is it theoretically possible to put DyAC features on an IPS monitor or is there something about it that it only works with TN panels? I'd love something that has extremely low motion blur at 240hz or higher but TN panels aren't what I'd want for my setup even though I'm a very competitive gamer.

  • Motion clarity is such an underrated feature of gaming monitors that almost no manufacturer advertises properly. Even some of the nastiest VA panels with horrible ghosting and smearing can be advertised as "1ms". It's why I steered away from the Asus PG35VQ (200hz VA panel) and went for the LG 38GN950 instead (160hz IPS). There is no way to truly know how good a monitor is in this department without a proper reviewer showing the real response times across all colors with different overdrive modes. Tim from Hardware Unboxed has done a great job there, though.

The visuals are so fast and sharp and input is so responsive. i cant go back to the other ones. I would like to see a Benq 27"with 1440p and DyAc 240Hz. That would be my next monitor. Im not sure that IPS panels could give me the fastness of an TN panel but we will see. I could recommend a adjustable monitor arm for anyone. You got so much more space on the desk and can put your keyboard and mouse UNDER the monitor. Especially for me cause i got a unconventional hotkey layout. Cant live without DyAc

  • I agree 100% with your conclusions and it's why IMO a 160Hz CRT feels very similar to a 240Hz LCD. 360Hz (and even higher refresh rates) are the way forward but response times probably aren't there yet. There is another aspect you didn't mention and that's actually being able crank out consistent frames to support a clean 360Hz, that's the reason alone why I also use 240Hz over 360Hz. Also if you want to go farther into these sorts of comparisons a zisworks lcd can show you a lot. It's the same panel doing 120/240/360/480Hz (depending on the res)

  • I'd love to see your thoughts on seeing the backlight strobing of the ASUS VG248QE. This monitor sold me on BFI many, many years ago. You'd have to find one used at this point, but it is well worth it. It has the best implementation of strobing as the monitor was intended for 3D viewing. Since then, I have yet to find a clearer monitor. The issue with BFI that no one mentions is that it is inserting a black frame. Meaning, a 240Hz panel is showing you 120Hz of information, since every other frame is black. The ASUS VG248QE could only run at 120Hz, and thus a 60Hz BFI image. I eventually got rid of it, but no other monitor has a clearer BFI implementation than that one. However, modern panels are probably clearer in terms of raw visibility just because our manufacturing processes have gotten better. A TN panel from 6 years ago is not the same as a TN panel from now-a-days.

  • What about that Acer Aopen monitor with 390hz + MBR? From the reviews I've seen the MBR on it is almost as good as DYAC, except it happens at 390hz with better response times on the panel. It's an IPS panel with much better contrast, and it's cheaper. I've seen multiple reports that people are gaming better on it and breaking their personal records in aim trainers. Is there any particular reason you'd recommend a monitor that's worse on paper in nearly every single aspect while being more expensive?

  • They say that with smoothness and image clarity during fast motions we tend to really notice doubles. From 30 to 60 is a nobrainer. From 60 to 120 is huge. From 120 to 240 is definitely noticeable (especially in image clarity during motion) but 240 to 360 is more like going from 120 to 165. It's noticeable, but probably wouldn't be worth the upgrade. 240 to 480 would, however, be noticeable to most people as long as you point them at what to look for (basically viewing it more as motion blur reduction than actually being or feeling much smoother or more direct). Apparently it'd take around 1000hz/fps to have motion clarity equal to the good CRT screens from before most people reading this were born. They didn't have sample-and-hold technology and therefore could be 'stuttery', but technically didn't have motion blur. Hell, it's possible for fast motions to appear *much* sharper and clearer on such a monitor than in real life. As weird as that may sound.

  • Hey Ali, how important would you say is the G-Sync Module? I currently own a AW3420DW (3440x1440, 120Hz, IPS, G-Sync Module) as my main, but study abroad and didn't manage to get that massive thing over to the other country. Now looking for a normal 1440p monitor as a temporary solution, but the G-Sync module ups the price from €300 (LG 27GN800) or €400 (LG 27GP850) to €700 for something like an AW 2721D. The Alienware also has 240Hz which I most likely won't need with my 3070Ti, playing mostly AAA shooters, and HDR600. Do you think the G-Sync module is a big deal? I honestly also don't want this temporary monitor to outshine my €900 Ultrawide, so that it looks bad compared to the new one when I get back to that thing :D

The acer 390hz is really cheap right now for what it is, the reason why I want the acer is that it looks the same as my 144hz, so I could use the 144hz as my second monitor, now I've got a 75hz as a secondary, which also looks exactly the same as my 144hz

I got the TN version and I am really happy with its performance , the way it looks for games, but seeing some videos online (like Marvels Runaway) darks have a pixelation effect that grosses me out. Lol would like to see if switching to the IPS version is worth the “upgrade.” I hear IPS is really good looking, but at the time of my purchase they had not been optimized for responsive/lag compared to TN.
