We first of all test the screen visually in each of its available overdrive modes and at a range of refresh rates from 60Hz, all the way up to the maximum supported. Higher refresh rates available with some other screens can offer some further improvements here, but 170Hz is still very good.

For those unfamiliar with these technologies, they’re essentially the closest thing we have to the individually addressable pixels found on OLEDs without the downside of burn in. Let's say that MiniLED array doubles that, and add 65W for charging and another 20W for the USB ports - that's still "just" ~200W. The NTSC (1953) color space is introduced in 1953 by the FCC with the appearance of color television and has a wider gamut than the sRGB. Normally if a screen uses PWM you can at least switch to 100% brightness to eliminate it, for the purposes of then taking response time G2G measurements.If the best advice you've got to give is one of the two possible - and therefore obvious - outcomes of not getting any advice (either getting it to test, or not doing so), then. This subreddit is for News, Reviews, or high quality discussions related to Monitors and Display Technologies. Without further ado, let’s get into the meat and potatoes of what matters most in a gaming monitor: the display.

Information about some of the main accessories included in the standard packaging of the current model. Even with the Mini LED backlight it was not particularly great at handling repeated adjacent bright and dark areas in this kind of test.The IPS panel offers some solid all round performance including wide viewing angles and a stable image quality. What this means is that when the carnage begins to unfold on screen, you’ll always have a handle on it. Asus ROG Swift PG34WCDM January 15, 2024 The new 34″ ultrawide OLED screen with 3440 x 1440 res and 240Hz refresh rate.

Fast-moving action and dramatic transitions will be rendered smoothly without the effects of ghosting. There are a few things missing though like a blur reduction backlight for instance, and you can certainly find higher refresh rate 1440p options on the market nowadays too. If some random bloke says "I bought one a month ago and I like it" (which is likely the extent of what you're going to get here in terms of qualitative assessment), is that enough for you? And if someone gives you answers to those questions but don't provide all of the criteria of that ideal product review based on long-term ownership, whose fault is that? The setup could also do with some corrections for things like the RGB balance and greyscale accuracy.Not only is it so low that you end up unable to properly conceal the spaghetti of display and USB cables if you use the monitor at particular heights, but it can spoil the projected image too. At the lower end this can be important if you are using the screen up close for more general office-type work, especially in darker room conditions or at night. As a result on the AG274QXM there is the familiar increase in overshoot levels as the refresh rate lowers.
