    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    My, the tftcentral review looks pretty tempting. What really interests me about this monitor is the possibility of 1440p ULMB @85 Hz, with great colors. A steady, smooth, largely blur-free 85 fps should be reachable in many more games than 120 or even 100 fps - and for the rest of the games...

    New Vizio TVs

    Mm... since they market the high velocity mode as also having very low latency, I would think that precludes any 60-to-120 Hz internal conversions. You never know with marketing though. In any case there's enough bandwidth to input 1080p@120Hz even with HDMI 1.4a, which is supported by GPUs...

    New Vizio TVs

    And they are also marketing the Reference and P series for gamers with the 120 fps High Velocity Mode "with incredibly low latency" (see ces.visio.com)... that could be interesting to more than a few people here?

    Monitor that won't cause eye strain? need a recommendation

    I would suggest that you get a monitor that does not use PWM for backlight brightness adjustments. You may or may not be sensitive to PWM flicker (usually something like 200 Hz), but there is no downside to getting one. Also look for reviews of monitors that have a good brightness adjustment...

    ASUS/BENQ LightBoost owners!! Zero motion blur setting!

    On this: http://www.geforce.com/sites/default/files-world/attachments/GEFORCE-G-SYNC-Performance_Chart.jpg Mark, do you know if the On-Screen Display column text means that the G-Sync Kit includes a hardware LUT or something similar that can be used in calibrations? Or is it perhaps something...

    ASUS/BENQ LightBoost owners!! Zero motion blur setting!

    Do you see a significant difference in colors with LB on or off? There is a massive color shift at least with BenQ XL2411T when LB is enabled, requiring switching between two different Windows color profiles to keep the desktop looking the same. If there is not much LB color shift in XL2420TE...

    XL2720T / XL2420T / VG278HE / VG248QE -- Easy LightBoost ON / OFF via hotkey (beta)

    The beta works great on BenQ XL2411T. Thank you, very simple way to enable Lightboost now. I do have one issue due to having a Nordic layout keyboard: things that are behind Alt-Gr are apparently masked, such as the '@' key. Therefore I can't run the program all the time. Could you pick some...

    Korean PLS Matte+Glossy 2560x1440 Overclockable(?) Club: Qnix & X-Star

    So I got me a glossy Qnix. No dead or stuck pixels, I think. At 120 Hz, I did get some wavy lines with a green color during ColorMunki calibration, so I backed down to 96 Hz. With my monitor, gamma is even higher than NCX measured, starting at around 2.2 at 60 Hz, reaching around 2.8 at 96 Hz...

    Samsung S23A700D 120Hz

    The monitor does apparently support HDMI 1.4, which does have the bandwidth for 1080p 120 Hz, and the GXT 670 also has HDMI 1.4a port, and I do have a suitable cable to go in between - so currently I am using a custom resolution and it's showing up as 120 Hz on the monitor information, with no...

    Samsung S23A700D 120Hz

    It seems that the Samsung S23A700D can accept 120 Hz via HDMI. I noticed this because I ran out of dual link DVI outputs from my video card after setting up Samsung S23A700D, BenQ XL2411T and Qnix QX2710 side by side, and didn't have any suitable adapters handy.

    Thanks, that's good information. I'll have to try CPKeeper.

    ASUS/BENQ LightBoost owners!! Zero motion blur setting!

    After another evening of use, I think I prefer the BenQ XL2411T to the Samsung S23A700D. After calibration, desktop use is not so much worse than the Samsung (disregarding the matte vs glossy difference) - just a little bit different when viewed side by side. Games are another matter, it feels...

    ASUS/BENQ LightBoost owners!! Zero motion blur setting!

    Well I have definitely got the 120 Hz / Lightboost bug after getting the BenQ XL2411T. Since I'm still a little underwhelmed by its picture quality, when I saw a refurbished Samsung S23A700D on ebay for a reasonable price I bought it. So, I have some comparative data to share. The Samsung...

    ASUS/BENQ LightBoost owners!! Zero motion blur setting!

    For my BenQ XL2411T, LightBoost 10% / Contrast 43 produces 100 cd/m^2 luminance. Lightboost MAX / Contrast 50 produces 178 cd/m^2 luminance. I am measuring with a ColorMunki Display and ColorHCFR 3.0.4.2.

    The year is 2015, you have $1000 to spend on a single monitor, what do you buy?

    A 100 Hz VA monitor with an officially supported, well-working strobing or scanning backlight. I'd settle for an 85 Hz VA panel if the backlight was similar to a CRT when it comes to flickering noticeability. The few extra milliseconds time that 85Hz provides might help in the difficult...
