    EIZO is coming with Freesync

    not much information there: - new Eizo 27 inch gaming display with AMD's Freesync is in development - at this particular event a prototype was first shown to the public - they plan to show the display again later at various game-oriented expos

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

    Definitely not, it's not going to look as sharp as on a 1080p display. Even on my smaller 25" screen the difference right after I switch from 1440p to 1080p is obvious. However you may get used to 1080p after a while.

    Dell U2515H

    Just open any program or a documents with pure white background in full screen mode - if any of the corners has yellowish/purplish tinge obviously different from other corners - it's bad uniformity. But I guess you don't have any, you would have noticed it right away

    Dell U2515H

    I guess it's some optical effect introduced by my camera (moire or something like this). I can't see any lines or squares on the actual screen. Solid color patches (whites, greys) are actually a pleasure to look at - so silky and smooth. It's probably because the black interpixel grid which is...

    Dell U2515H

    My old Nec 2190Uxi had a glow free IPS panel, so at first the amount of glow and the way it actully looks on U2515h was a nasty suprise for me (even though I heard a lot about IPS glow on new monitors). I would say it's somewhat annoying at default brightness (50). However lowering brightness...

    Dell U2515H

    I've just tried running HL2 and GTAIV with and without AA. Jaggies are not as obvious as at 1080p, but they are still there. I would still prefer gaming with AA whenever possible.

    Dell U2515H

    Very subjective and depends a lot on the applications / sites. If you don't mind tiny fonts - it's OK. At 100% DPI system fonts look pleasantly sharp but they are tiny. For example letters in folder names in the task bar are about 1 mm tall. Same thing on this page. I didn't like DPI scaling...

    Dell U2515H

    Received mine on Friday. Fonts look great, lot's of extra desktop space (coming from 21 4:3 monitor), gaming feels more immersive - overall I'm happy with it. Unfortunately, there is some yellow tint on the left side. Has anyone noticed something like this on their U2515H? Is it...

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

    Thanks for the explanation and for the blurbusters link! I got all the answers there, no need to bother with tests: Summary: Low framerate introduces additional motion blur even with constant 144Hz refresh rate. Swift's motion clarity is also affected by low fps, but Acer will still be even...

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

    I want real owners to share their impressions in order to get at least some notion of what gaming on Acer really feels like in terms of motion clarity at low fps with G-sync On (is there really anything to worry about). Right now it's all just theoretical abstractions. By the way although...

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

    And what about fluidity and blurriness? Did you notice any extra blurrines in comparison with Asus Swift? Or was it more or less the same? Theoretically, with activated G-sync moving image on Acer is supposed to become progressively more blurry when fps in games falls below 100 (The lower the...

    Large Monitors scaring me......

    I'm now using a 21'' 4:3 ratio monitor and it's height is just perfect for me (same as 24'' 16:10 and just a bit lower than 27'' 16:9). So I guess something in the 24'' - 27'' range (16:10 or 16:9) would be OK for me but I can't imagine myself using a 40'' behemoth. Even a 30'' monitor seems...

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

    Agreed, I have just realized that this can be a problem - G-sync changes refresh rate depending on the framerate, so 60 fps will result in 60 Hz refresh rate and 8.7ms GtG on Acer (and potentially even bigger GtG values with fps close to 30). One solution is to deactivate G-sync if you can't...

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

    Can't thank TFTCentral enough for the awesome work they do. Their reviews are now absolutely the best with new pursuit camera tests. The only thing I don't quite understand is which of the ghost images is OD overshoot, which is "cross-talk" and which is pixel transition blur on the pursuit...

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

    I have one question left - WTF LG have been doing all this time (10+ years). Basically no progress with IPS speed at all! AU Optronics started making their IPS (AHVA) a couple of years ago and already they have the fastest IPS ever. Shame on you LG.
