Set the monitor to match the room. Dimmer in a dark room, brighter in a bright room. As evilsofa mentioned, a bias light is the easiest way to make looking an a monitor more comfortable to look at.

I think I set mine to User with RGB = 91 / 91 / 100 to fix the yellow. Will confirm when I get home.

Dang I got my order in on Nov 2nd and no info from Amazon yet.

I have a STH10, and would have bought the Mercury S8 if it were available at the time. Room for all components, two 360 rads on top, pump, res. I'm also a fan of the horizontal MB orientation. There's a lot of dead space -- and weight -- in my STH10.

Asus still saying Mid November : https://twitter.com/ASUSUSA/status/661649965828149248

Common to confuse DVI-D with dual link, double check that it has the full set of pins: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fb/DVI_Connector_Types.svg/277px-DVI_Connector_Types.svg.png Are you using the cable that came with the monitor?

If your video player downscales correctly you'll get supersampling with 4 pixels resolved down to one. It can look better than a 1080 source. Although the content creator could downsample and distribute at 1080 for the same effect with smaller filesize. Haven't seen native 4K in person to...

I have a VG248Q (144Hz) and upgraded it with the GSync kit. I think both high refresh rate and Gsync are 'never go back' features. As in, once you've been gaming with them you don't want to play on anything else. Unfortunately, it's difficult to demonstrate the benefits without having the tech...

I don't have any personal experience between the two. If I were making the choice I'd go BenQ. If you decide to buy one, get it from a store with a good return policy - you might not find this panel acceptable.

The 24" 144Hz screens are built for speed and decent image quality. If you want 1080p and GSync they are your only option. MistaSparkul is probably correct that these monitors use the same panel. The difference will be in price, manufacturer's reputation for customer service and quality control...

Previously used MPC-HC. Now using mpv

I had a few minutes at lunch and ran some videos in full screen with my VG248+Gsync... The OSD reported it was in gsync mode and fraps' frame counter indicated 24 fps and 30 fps (matching the video). Didn't have time to try setting custom max refresh rates.

Does that pattern appear with different OverDrive levels? Different refresh rates? I've seen pictures of other monitors with this problem but not so extreme.

I'm not sure of the samsung's pixel response time versus the BenQ. When I went from the VG236 (2ms) to the VG248 (1ms), moving text became slightly clearer but the color quality isn't as good. Strobing tech is incompatible with FreeSync and Gsync as it requires a fixed refresh rate. The GSync...

The s27a750d is an excellent 1080p monitor, the only reason to sidegrade it to the XL2720Z is for a strobed backlight. I also want to upgrade to 1440p and keep high framerates. I have decided to wait for the 390X and 980Ti to come out, then pair one with a FreeSync/GSync 1440p. Not sure if I'll...

What video players are you using? I've used MPC and more recently, mpv, without issue on similar monitors. Flash streaming videos are problematic. Some fast pans still look terrible because 24Hz simply isn't enough, especially on a monitor with fast pixel response times.

Yes, it goes down to 52 cd/m2 : http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/content/asus_rog_swift_pg278q.htm#contrast_stability

Grab them (L Control) then (Spacebar) to Interrogate.

I'm running a 680 2GB with High textures and 1080p, no performance penalty as far as I can tell. Fps is 60 in big fights, 75+ running around, momentary dip to 45 when hitting 25 orcs with an explosion.

Not that I have heard of, I'm hoping for one too. I think the AOC and BenQ monitors are still using the same 6 bit panel from last year, re-released with Gsync (and a $200 price increase). Asus hasn't released any details on anything but the Swift.

I do not have the monitor, but tftCentral's review seems to agree with what you are seeing: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_xl2720z.htm Notice on the (150-255-150) transition that the overshoot goes too dark and takes a while to correct itself. This matches your situation with a...

When fps is less than the strobe frequency some frames will be strobed twice. This will cause 1) stutter similar to running (triple buffered?) vsync, and/or 2) double images. Example, 120Hz strobe and 90 fps, every third frame is strobed twice producing double image and stutter. At 120Hz...

How low is low?

Yea what I've seen is a 1 frame black screen (on the VG248QE-Gsync). Frequency varied from person to person, I used to get it maybe once every other day.

I mentioned the VG248QE-GSync black frames a few pages back. It was reported by ~5 people on the blur busters forum earlier in the summer. I personally haven't seen it happen on the desktop, and it hasn't happened for a couple of weeks. So it is still a mystery!

ULMB is available at 85,100,120Hz. It is a strobing backlight setting. Check out this page with and without ULMB: http://testufo.com/#test=photo&photo=toronto-map.png&pps=960&pursuit=0&height=0

The screen going black for for a frame happens on the VG248QE + GsyncDIY, so it looks like it wasn't a prototype problem...

Hmm, several people have pointed out a similar 'smudge' in the bottom right corner. Only profile I've seen posted is the usual TFTCentral: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm#the_database They set brightness to 20, contrast to 50, RGB at 100 each.

That went quick, I went to the page and it said 7 remaining. Refreshed the page 15 seconds later than they were gone.

Run at 120,100, or 85Hz with Vsync On, Gsync Off.

ULMB doesn't have the color tinting issue that the Lightboost hack did (which was to compensate for the 3d glasses color). IIRC tftcentral tested color accuracy in ULMB but I don't remember the results off hand.

If it's going to tip over, backwards would be preferred.

I think polarizers come in pairs -- one behind the LCD and one on top and I suspect they are made to complement each other.

Just wanted to note that this survey only includes salaried employees. The QA numbers in particular are misleading as most are hourly workers and make far, far less than $50k a year.

Best info I could find is that it's an IGZO panel made by LG.

five Asus VG248QE

Not much has been announced about the other gsync monitors. AOC has one coming out this summer which is uses the same panel as the VG248QE. BenQ will be re-releasing their existing lineup with Gsync. No dates or news since they were originally announced...

If you can wait until the Gsync monitors release (hopefully) sometime this summer I think you should. I got the VG248QE at release and recently added the gsync DIY. The tech is as good as reviewers have said. On games where I can't max out the refresh rate it feels a lot better. The DIY kit is...

The "Pascal Module" looks interesting... Do the board manufacturers implement their own version this or is this the equivalent of the new reference board? Also, the cards will still need large heatsinks/coolers, right?
