Korean Monitors with Light AG?
- Thread starter icor1031
- Start date
The QNIX mentioned above has PWM backlighting, and is one of the rare Korean monitors to have a matte option. There aren't many (inexpensive) models at 1440p that have an AG coat that I'm aware of, although there are higher priced options such as the Samsung S27A970D.
It should be said that only some are affected by PWM flicker, as most owners seem perfectly happy with their monitors. Also, there are other monitors that feature such backlighting only at the lowest settings.
The 750$ Crossover 30X uses semi-glossy AG but suffers from the same obvious overshoot ghosting as the Dell 3014 and lacks an sRGB mode so you will be stuck with the over-saturated and inaccurate wide gamut colors in games. Color management support is required to get proper colors. The CCFL back-lit options all use the same grainy AG. The HP Z30i is the only semi-affordable, semi-glossy, overshoot ghosting free 30" but it is a rip off (1300$), has mediocre color presets and lacks an sRGB mode.
The 2400$ NEC PA302W is the only decent 30". 30" glow far more vs. 27" when viewed from less than 4ft. The size advantage 30" offer is lost when one sits far enough away to reduce the black destroying glow.

Hey, NCX. I don't use it for gaming - I have a CRT for that. I want it for reading, web coding, etc.
I suppose this is my best option? http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-Professional-BL2710PT-27-Inch-LED-lit/dp/B00D7IG5N8
Also, thank you for the detailed response!

I found out that my old Q270 is PWM free, though it's glossy. Unless I'm missing something, that is - I used 1/2000 or 1/4000 shutter.

It is along with the HP ZR2740W which now uses semi-glossy as well, though it uses an IPS panel and most of the semi-glossy 1440p IPS suffer from cross-hatching (faint chain link fence-esque lines which show up when viewing whites and light colors). My essentially perfect BL2710PT is for sale in the FS sections
The Glossy Qnix QX2710 I tested was PWM free but they might not all be since some of the semi-glossy (marketed as matte) versions use 160hzPWM. The "glossy," Qnix's currently being sold for <600$ on ebay all have tempered glass placed over matte coatings. Apparently some have glass placed over glossy coatings but the majority seems to get glass+matte versions.
The Korean 1440p IPS tested (most of them) are all PWM Free/use very high frequencies which can only be measured with an oscilloscope.
