Asus PG27AQDP 1440p 480Hz WOLED

I don't see the point of a 1000Hz LCD. Even the current fastest TN panels from ZOWIE don't have perfect compliance at just 240Hz.

can't really tell but is it glossy or matte?

Matte, but honestly I think it just doesn't really matter anymore since MLA will add some grain/haze to the image regardless even if it was glossy. See this pic of glossy MLA monitor (Asus XG27AQDMG) vs glossy non MLA TV (LG C4):

Please have BFI up to 240 hz. Just for the older games/poor peasants who cannot afford a machine that can hit a solid 480fps.

LSFG 2.1 now has an X3 frame generation mode so in theory you could achieve 480fps by having a base frame rate of 160fps then using the X3 frame generation. Will need to test to see how good it actually looks in person though.

Ya, the LG matte is totally fine on the newer models. The blacks stay black and the light is diffused well.

I mean rather than the newest matte finishes not being so bad, it's rather that the newest glossy finishes aren't as good. That's just the tradeoff that has to be made with adding MLA I suppose.

Even with the little bit of AR look to it the glossy display on the Asus is still the best coating I have seen on a monitor.

Hopefully more manufactures adopt it going forward but I feel it's going to always be only on select models or editions ever because majority of people will hate it. You can still pick up on reflections in dimmer content in a dark room because of how close you sit to it compared to a TV.

will these also have an ULMB mode? since the asus gets ELMB which at 240 hz looks about as clear as 480 hz without it in shots of the ufo test, so one can have this clarity in more demanding games.

At the moment it’s an Asus-only addition to the OLED screens so only that model is expected to have it, at 240Hz max

Yes as far as I'm aware, this is an implementation done by Asus themselves so it is very likely that only Asus models will have it. Other manufacturer's will have to do their own work if they want to get a similar feature in.

Any word on release date?

I went from
Asus 27" 240Hz oled

To

MSI 27" 360hz oled

And now i plan to goto this one

Asus 27" 480Hz oled.

Late Q3 was the last thing I read, so perhaps some time next month?
 
240Hz BFI means you can achieve 480Hz motion clarity while "only" needing to get 240fps in game which is very doable. Pretty tempted to try it out but idk about going back to 1440p and giving up HDR for BFI these days.
 
Imho AMD and Nvidia should dd BFI mode to GPUs and then all OLEDs will be able to have BFI.

You know what hurts me?
That we need BFI being implemented in monitor even though the same tech can be done by GPU.
Not only simple 50% duty cycle display frame and then black after that but fancier things like use VRR to control duty cycle and even implementing BFI with VRR - range in this case would be very limited and there would be probably some flickering but as long as we have same average ratio of displayed image to displayed black it should be passable performance.

In fact I don't Nvidia's Pulsar tech can do anything outside what GPU could do for quote on quote normal GPU because OLED panels themselves are unlikely to have any special capabilities and unlike strobed LCDs OLEDs don't need anything. Also why we see BFI reducing maximum refresh rate.
In fact I think AMD is already working on it or will and especially if Pulsar happens to be exclusive to Nvidia GPUs.

It is similar situation to VRR.
Today people might not think about it like that but in the past people were confused about how LCDs work and most of them thought LCD only displays frame when it changed - so pretty much almost everyone thought LCDs have built-in VRR tech because it was so obvious.
Funnily enough we didn't really need Nvidia to make G-Sync module to give us VRR because when AMD introduced FreeSync it was quickly found out by curious people tested non-FreeSync monitors (including very old ones) and these worked with FreeSync signals just fine.

It is obvious all OLEDs could have simple 50% duty cycle BFI but I guess with VRR it is less obvious this could be done.
