    Panel manufacturing question

    This is something that interests me as well. In some cases it's down to piss-poor controllers that just change colour intensity instead of backlight when brightness settings are changed. This is evident is monitors where the contrast drops as the brightness setting is lowered. That's not the...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    So people with defective panels are required to post images of their screens, otherwise they are trolls or ROG Swift shills? I'm waiting for pictures of those 22 perfect panels you mentioned.

    ASUS PG279Q 144hz 1440P IPS G-Sync

    I'm interested in having more than one input now that I'd actually have use for it, in hindsight. 120 Hz ULMB would be nothing to sneeze at either if that could make its way to the Asus. Maybe I'll buy three... to keep the least defective one and return the other two.

    What is the deal with IPS monitors poor contrast/glow

    Cheap to manufacture, not cheap to buy. LCD is a dead-end tech and has been since something like 2007. Things like higher (input) refresh and stereoscopic 3D are down to controller electonics improvements.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    I don't expect perfection, it's an LCD after all. The uniformity issue is easily visible on any desktop apps that show white colours. Hell, any single colour other than black. I expect a >800€ display not to do shit like this when any cheaper panels (IPS, VA and even TN) I have used at work and...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Acer returned my RMA'd monitor. Enclosed in the box was a useless "report" saying they could not reproduce the problem (half of the panel being yellow tinted shit). The imbeciles must not have eyes on their head, then. Don't buy.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Now that I have had my monitor for some time, I brought the colourimeter from work and calibrated the white balance. On the clean side I can get a dE of 0.5. With the same settings the yellow tinted left side measures as dE 4.5 :mad: It's quite annoying in desktop usage and the talk about newer...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    I just got mine, finally. I came from a NEC 231WMi, a 23" 1080p IPS that has a rather poor pixel response time but is able to accept 74 Hz on DVI and 83 Hz on DP. First impressions: the stand is certainly not something you would expect from a 800 $/€ monitor. Assembling it was a lot more...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Okay, thanks! Yes, the spec is better on paper. It's the implementations that matter, though. ;) So far FS monitors tend to have min refreshes of 40 Hz or more which kind of sucks. Agreed on the vsync matter. Vsync at < 30 fps is horrible. I hope nvidia will eventually let users choose...

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Any idea what the minimum refresh rate for g-sync is on this monitor? 30? 40? The TN Freesync equivalent reportedly has 40 Hz but I can't find a number for the XB270HU. As for people asking whether gsync is any use at low fps, I recall reading that with g-sync, frames are always scanned at...
