Yup. When everything was 60hz, 1080p TN was considered only suitable for budget monitors. Then people started paying double for a 120hz 1080p TN with no real improvements in image quality. The same thing is now happening with 240hz. When TV manufacturers upgraded their sets to 120hz they did so...
Thanks, but it doesn't really answer the question. It sort of implies that BFI can be used since it's automatically active in Game Mode but it doesn't explicitly say it. It also says that 4:4:4 doesn't work properly at 1440p with 120hz. It doesn't mention HDR at all. The article was written well...
At this price point it's going to be VA. Also, those brightness levels wouldn't be so strange; they could just indicate that the panel's overall max brightness is high, rather than that it has a high dynamic range.
Yes, but they don't show the entire vertical length of the monitor. In the tomshardware review the crosstalk looked worse in the top half of the image.
It's baffling how little attention these three monitors are getting in general. Meanwhile two of the top monitors on that list are some generic budget models.
This review of the VG27AQ, the IPS counterpart of the VG32VQ, mentions some strobe crosstalk, which is to be expected, and they think it's mild. https://www.tomshardware.fr/test-asus-tuf-vg27aq-ecran-gaming-elmb/
Yup, and I suspect this could be the source of the problem. The strobe has to sync itself to the variable framerate so any kind of weirdness here could cause a lot of crosstalk.
