Absolutely amazing content, I have never seen a monitor review so comprehensive and detailed. Great production as well, clear voice, and zero bullshit. Can't wait to see more!

[@ApertureGrille]

Wow! Thanks!

Dude!!!! Why have I not ever seen your reviews!!!! You got a sub man, great content man.

[@ericl3347]

I recently discovered this channel about a week ago and I am amazed by the level of details in which these reviews go over. Definitely in-depth that goes beyond the "BUZZ WORDS" of "300hz" "FAST" etc etc. Thank you so much for providing such an informative view on these products and spending the time to do all this testing!!! Cannot say thank you enough. I hope you get to do more of these reviews with future monitor displays.

[@TripleMoonPanda]

Once again another amazing monitor review. I used your VG27AQ video to make my purchase of that monitor, and I agree the elmb sync isn't what it should be but besides that I'm really happy with it, I just continue to use my CRT when I want that motion clarity and black levels in certain games.

[@pacman8689]

Dude, your channel is amazing. Simply the best monitor reviews I have seen on the Internet. It is good to find a reviewer who really cares about the annoying motion blur of LCDs. Achieving a good strobing mode (specially at 60 Hz) is the direction the industry should take.

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you!

[@abbycantu1208]

Excellent video reviews. Level of detail is insane especially with self developed frog test. Your videos were very helpful confirming that my first monitor was trash (kg271u) and helped me to purchase my new one (the one on this review but the 25 inch one)

I can't believe how good these reviews are. I've seen hundreds of reviews over the years and none of them come even close to being so in-depth as yours. Thank you so much, I hope we see a real change in the industry because of people like you.

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you!

[@aivamimadre]

Best monitor review ever!! I finally bought the smaller 25" version though. I'm very happy with it 😊

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! The only negative I've heard about the 25" version of the AU Optronics panel is that it may be more prone to image retention. But response times should be similar. I'm still using mine, even over the VG27AQ, for games.

[@elisebright]

Amazing review, I hope you make more.

[@beanfiend5118]

yes this in 1440p would be pretty cool enjoyed your content you helped me pump the breaks on an impulse buy

[@dafarii]

You need to do more reviews. This is amazing. I'm a Quake Live player too, and wish I still had a CRT. You understand this shit and its so well presented. Please do more. I'm always hoping we get back to CRT quality in response times.

[@ApertureGrille]

Thanks! I'd love to do more, but it's harder than I thought to get review samples! I'm hoping to put out more content soon.

[@yosoy1loco]

Dude, your reviews are underrated. They are better to decide on important factors for gaming than those reviews from hardwareunboxed or pc monitors, which are already good. Your work is so helpful, paying not only attention to coating, colorrepresentation etc., but also to the most important aspect for gaming: motionclarity. In this aspect having not only response-times, motionblur on different refreshrates, but also backlightstrobing at different refreshrates, including ELMB-Sync, is fantastic. We need more of this and you need a lot more subs! Edit - Regarding the topic: I dont know the technical limitations Asus has to overcome, but not being able to adjust overdrive during ELMB is absolutely gooney, preventing this from being a good start into having adaptive sync-tech as well as motionblur reduction at the same time. At least I would have bought the monitor with that options.

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! I'm really hoping that with the USB service port on the back of these that ASUS can give us some kind of firmware update. If enough bigger channels complain about it, I think ASUS might seriously consider it. Tim at HUB mentioned that ASUS had sent him a review sample of the VG279QM, so hopefully he'll point it out.

[@yosoy1loco]

@@ApertureGrille That is interessting to hear, even though it would make my momentary choices even harder: - Viewsonic XG270 - Zowie XL2746s - Viewsonic XG270QG Actually im fine with 144hz, i just want the impossible cake - Good image and motion. So i thought it is better to go for a good motionblurreduction at 144hz rather than going for even higher Refreshrates. Hearing that the XG270 has better backlightstrobing than XG270QG, cause it is adjusted by blurbusters and offers more refreshrate headroom, which is allegedly important for good backlightstrobing is kinda silly. In my country the XG270QG costs 300€ more. but 270qg seems to have better imagequality and 1440p, dont know how important that is too me. If XG270 is barely better than a TN panel, then i could also go for Zowie XL2746s, which seems to have decent blur reduction. IF the Asus comes into that calculation again, it will get even harder :X

[@ployth9000]

thanks for the review you made the choice for me I Will be getting the hp omen x it might be tn but its 240hz @ 1440p you earned a sub an actual in depth monitor review YES

[@MLWJ1993]

TN isn't a bad thing as long as it's not dirt cheap TN (which is 6-bit+frc most of the time & a sad excuse for a monitor, but IPS has some of those as well, including at my work place, they look awful compared to my TN).

so underrated bro keep up the goodie goodie stuff .. Mad love

[@JtwasLuck]

What an amazing review of a monitor! I've frankly never seen a more in depth video review of a monitor before. I have tried out most of the new fast ips panels and I have to say, you should really do a review on the Acer Predator XB253Q GX. It and alongside it, the Acer Nitro XV253QX are by far the best gaming monitors in terms of input lag. I've never felt such snappiness before. Unfortunately the former only strobes at 120Hz but it is a proper MBR implementation! If your chasing that CRT goodness, I highly recommend you give it a shot!

[@TheCh405]

What an awesome review! This is by far the greatest one I could find on this monitor if not for every other too. Thank you for your great work!

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! This was one of my favorites. ELMB-Sync gives me a lot to talk about!

[@TheCh405]

@@ApertureGrille Thanks to you, I understood for the first time what ELMB Sync really does :D I just ordered the VG279QM and am very excited to try it myself.

[@sebash6]

Would you choose Asus VG279QM or MSI MAG251RX ? Here is the reviev of MSI: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opavoWmHnMhpjpo

[@ApertureGrille]

I usually prefer bigger monitors, so the lower PPI of the ASUS doesn't bother me. I use different methodology than HUB, but I think the new AU Optronics panels used in both the 27" and 25" variants should perform similarly. But I'd love to test both! And one benefit of the ASUS for me (either the VG279QM or VG259QM) is the additional 40 Hz. Since I play a lot of Quake Live, which has a 250 FPS limit, the extra framerate overhead allows me to stay in the variable refresh range.

[@sebash6]

@@ApertureGrille actually i bought both to compare and idk why but: Vg259qm - has much more visible halos on 80 Overdrive at Ufo test. Vg279qm - has less visible halos on 80OD at ufo test. Its like having 60 od on 25 inch version. 27 inch ver has worse elmb vs 25 inch ver. 25 inch had better white color when 27 inch had yellowish white even after trying a lot of calobrations.

[@ApertureGrille]

@@sebash6 Thanks for the report. How specifically was the ELMB better on the 25" version? As for the white, I may have just been lucky to get a panel with very good uniformity, and you perhaps got unlucky. I wish that weren't the case when buying monitors.

[@sebash6]

@@ApertureGrille i think this is only visual illusion due to better ppi. BTW I switched to MSI Mag251rx and the motion blur is even better. Less aggresive cross talk.

I subscribed because your reviews are the best on Internet. I don't understand why you don't have much more subscribers.

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! It's harder than I thought to get review samples, and all the new and interesting monitors are very expensive ($700+). I'm working on my next video now; although it won't be a monitor review, it'll cover LCD testing, and I think it'll clear up a lot of questions people have with response times.

[@ktg_2castle960]

You’re channel is amazing holy shit

[@addusernamehere]

Excellent review. I know much more than the average joe about motion blur tech, but you outshined me 10 fold! :)

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! Motion blur reduction is one of those things I wish more manufacturers and more reviewers paid attention to.

[@noer0205]

The best and most through testing/review of a monitor I have seen to date on KZbin. Also loved your video on input lag! Do you have plans to test the AOC 24G2? It is a 144Hz 1080p IPS monitor which has recieved great response from other reviewers. I'm guessing it is going to be popular. Also do you have a Patreon where you can be supported? Would love to see more tests at level of detail but I understand that getting products can be costly. Thanks again, a5hun, for the great work.

[@BlurBusters]

Fantastic video! And great pursuit tests, as well as some excellent observations about strobing. However, one major correction: TestUFO already supports VRR (AdaptiveSync / G-SYNC) in internal tests. The problem is Chome/FireFox doesn't support TestUFO VRR, it only plays TestUFO at max-Hz. There are many people toiling away on improving HTML standards that I want to thank them for. There is a VRR implementation of TestUFO coming later this year. It's best to say that "The current web standards does not yet allow VRR, though the web standards groups are working on that" to accurately explain TestUFO VRR limitation. Your custom VRR pursuit camera app correctly uses the Blur Busters pursuit camera sync-track invention! 👍

[@GopherTv]

why isn't this monitor on your website!!!!? AHHH!! im inferring this is the official blur buster youtube channel right?

[@Weaver_Games]

Doesn't Web GL have VRR support?

All I can say is Holy. Shit. That was the most detailed review of a monitor I have ever seen. It is literally all the info you would ever need to know about a monitor. Work on your thumbnail game and you should be at 100k subs in no time.

[@ludvig3428]

My Acer KG271B broke out of nowhere, ended up getting a full refund in store credits and added €20 and upgraded to the 24.5'' version of this one. Gets here next week and I'm super excited, great review btw!

[@nevinevius]

Thanks for the awesome review! Will you review the smaller 25" VG259QM aswell, to check if it is also as good? Ty

[@JtwasLuck]

Should perform fairly the same. I've had similar experience with the Acer Predator 25" and 27" panels. The only outlier is the Acer Nitro XV253QX which is slightly different. My friend bought the 25" version and is quite happy with it. I checked for backlight bleed and ips glow and surprisingly it was astonishingly good just like in this panel being reviewed. TLDR: If your happy with this review, go get the 25" panel ;) Thank me later! (Also, buy from a place where you can get a replacement easily, ASUS panels in particular have pretty bad Q/C) EDIT: Just to be clear, my friend bought the VG259QM (319 USD on Microcenter)

[@Cemito]

Bro this is legit one of the best reviews I've seen, so in depth.

[@Cemito]

Will you do a review for the VG259QM?

[@ApertureGrille]

@@Cemito I want to! But I don't think I can find it for sale in the near future.

[@SebastianELech]

@@ApertureGrille hello. Best review i saw even too detailed. You have huge knowledge. I want buy this display or 25 inch version. Is hard to decide between bigger screen and better quality. How you can rate this 27 screen picture quality in 1080? Can you make some short video how to ser this monitor in games like CS or moba games? Is a bit confusing - should all this modes have to be turned on?

[@BotThot]

Sebastian E. Lech go for the 25 inch if you can find it as it’s not available in the US yet. Set it at 280hz with elmb sync on if you consistently get over 240fps (which you should in CS) or turn off elmb sync and set overdrive to 60 if you can not consistently maintain 240fps and higher

[@McVilla1N]

After searching through the swamp I finally found the video I needed after literal 2-3 years of here and there searching for how to set up my monitor better. Finally a video explaining exactly what even the company couldn't explain to me. I see now why.... Lol. You are my hero.

[@abdullalootah8527]

do you mind sharing your setting ?

[@Aomicplane]

Actually i'd love if you'd test the XL2546S. You do comprehensive tests beyond what i've seen any youtube monitor reviewer do and it really gives us the whole picture about a monitor (pun intended), and pretty much everything one would want to know. It's impressive and you earned yourself a well deserved subscriber.

[@byplazasam]

Jesus Christ the best explained and most informative review on this monitor. Thank you so much for this 👍🏽 Btw would you prefer to get the 24.5’ model or stick with the 27’?? I’ve heard the sharpness is better but I have both and my blind eyes can’t tell the difference

[@ApertureGrille]

Thanks! They use slightly different panels, and I've heard the 25" model is slightly more prone to temporary image retention, but they should both perform roughly the same. I'm not a big fan of small screens... the bigger, the better. But neither version will look amazing compared to a QHD screen. The VG279QM is still my favorite 240+ Hz FHD screen, but for most people, and for me personally, I'd opt for a 27" QHD screen. The monitor I'm using right now is the Lenovo Y27q-20, which uses the same panel that's in LG's 27GL850, and it's a fantastic monitor.

[@Abdo70t]

Fantastic review , just wooow 👍👍

[@zl_reaction]

So at first, that's the best monitor review I have ever seen. Keep it up and you will grow big My question is more based on personal preferences. But which monitors can you recommend for playing professional fps games? Probably 1920x1080p, 240hz+, ULMB/ELM etc.

[@ApertureGrille]

I haven't reviewed enough to say for certain (and I'm definitely not great at FPS games), but I'm really interested to see how Zowie's DyAc modes perform on the new XL2546S and XL2746S. TN panels should have slightly cleaner strobing modes. But those are... just a bit too expensive for me to review.

[@akkkarinn]

Niiceee finally another video

[@olegvaleev3733]

Thank you for this channel. Will you be testing some 240hz tn panels, like Benq XL2746/hp x25? Other 240hz ips like mag251rx? What about new 360hz?

[@jinjuu5444]

Nice review 👍👍

[@kryptik2504]

Thanks for these interesting and detailed reviews. It's a bit too technical at times so I will have to watch the video again and your other videos to understand the information better. I've been looking for a CRT like monitor for a long time. Seems like the ASUS VG279QM or the Viewsonic XG270 could be what i'm looking for but not sure. Since you say the ELMB sync isn't that great or useful I'm very interested to know about the XG270 motion blur option and if that monitor is worth it. As of right now which IPS monitor do you think is the best for a game like Quake Live? Does Quake benefit from 280 hz and more or not really since the maxfps is 250 and 240 hz is enough?

[@peachesasmr9366]

the asus is better than the viewsonic, both work the same regarding elmb just called something differant. the elmb does work well at high refreshes. asus is faster all around. would reccomend it

[@4fUNA180]

Hey amazing job! Could you test MSII MAG251RX?

[@dios1337]

amazing content!

[@nunofialho6122]

Hey nice video! I've been wanting to ask you a couple questions since you uploaded this review, but I didn't really know how to put them so I dont sound too noobish lol but anyway: 1- First question is simple: If the input lag is high at a fixed 60 hz, why not use the monitor at a fixed 240 hz (since it's a multiple) with a console ? Is it not compatible? 2- I like your CADs technique to evaluate the perfomance of a monitor . I assume the way you see it is the less the CAD number the better since that's the way CRT's behave (instant very bright flash), but in a sample and hold way of displaying the image, is it the closest to zero the better? Wouldn't this cause a strong stroboscopic effect at low hz? Wouldn't it be better to have a reference (hypotethical perfect sample and hold response) CAD like for example a curve (or a triangle for simplicity) that converges to the end point within the frame window time or something like that idk? Anyway keep up the great work!

[@ApertureGrille]

Sorry the delayed reply! I actually don't have any modern consoles (!), so I'm not familiar with how they behave when connected to high refresh displays. If they can do adaptive-sync at 240 or 280 Hz, that'd be much better for input lag. But what about something like a Switch? You're correct about CAD: I accumulate the difference of the LCD transition compared to a "perfect" square wave transition: instantaneous OFF to ON (or vice versa), and so lower is "better." I put up an illustration here: www.aperturegrille.com/about/Images/RT-About-New.png But about that "better." I like your idea of using a linear response from low to high over the duration of the frame as the reference. At typical television framerates (24, 30), instantaneous transitions like OLED can look jarring from frame to frame, but low framerate content will never look great in motion. Even on slow VA televisions, 24 FPS content is both juddery and smeary. But the biggest problem I see is the average brightness level. Imagine a moving star field (or really just any moving white to black transition). If we used a linear ramp from black to white for each frame, the average brightness would be right in the middle: 50% gray, not white. You can see what that looks like in my BenQ GW2760HS video where I show a star map (and Skyrim!) on a VA panel dimming: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqfcn6yoerhqf7M If you could take an OLED and "shape" its response to be linear rather than a square-wave wall, that type of dimming would also occur. Non-strobed displays will always have sample-and-hold blur, but we really do want their transitions to happen as fast as possible, so that's why I use a square wave as the reference. Fantastic questions! I'm really excited when people ask about this sort of stuff! I wish I'd seen this sooner! Sorry!

[@rubene.3944]

Great detailed review!! One question: so when playing games like cs:go at 280 fps+ would you recommend turning on ulmb and gsync, as it has good performance at those constant framerates if I understood correctly?

[@ApertureGrille]

If you're getting more than 280 FPS, you might not need to worry about ELMB or ELMB-Sync. At especially high framerates, just turn overdrive to 80, and you should be fine. Quake Live, as I was showing in the video, is capped at 250 FPS, so I need to use adaptive-sync to minimize input lag, but I'd typically prefer to run some sort of strobing mode. Once you get yours in, let us know which you prefer. When I do these videos, I'm never quite sure what to recommend, because I'm a super picky CRT user :)

[@shanieub40]

a5hun. The detail you've into is out of this world (even though I don't understand it all) I've got this monitor coming in about ten days and as I'm just your average console gaming jo I'm wondering what settings YOU would recommend for Xbox gaming on games like call of duty, battlefield, and FIFA 21. I've got the Xbox one X now but really got the monitor for the upcoming Xbox series X. Response time is what I'm after with the best possible picture. So if you could recommend what settings you think I should us I'd greatly appreciate it. And thank you.

Best review I’ve found for this monitor by a long shot

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! Despite ELMB-Sync not working as it should, this is still a really great monitor. And I especially appreciate the 280 Hz top end for Quake Live.

[@JJ-fm2yj]

@@ApertureGrille it’s a very good monitor. However as very disappointed when I learned you can’t use adaptive sync when you overclock the monitor tho so I can’t use that feature when playing games where you can’t hold 280 frames. Have to use its native 240hz.

[@ApertureGrille]

@@JJ-fm2yj VRR works throughout the full range, even up to 280 Hz. Have you tried the monitor yourself?

[@JJ-fm2yj]

@@ApertureGrille yes. I’ve had this monitor for almost a year. However when I overclock it to 280hz, it locks the refresh rate at 280, even tho the VRR is on (adaptive sync). Soon as I disable the overclock, (back to 240) the adaptive sync works again.

[@brentcox2961]

Wow, this is the best review I have seen of the VG279QM! Good work. Question : Does enabling EMLB Sync while in 280 hz mode negatively effect the input lag or grey to grey pixel response times?

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! I didn't test that specifically, but strobing modes generally have a small delay to wait for the pixels to change color before flashing the backlight, perhaps 2 ms. I didn't notice any lag when using ELMB-Sync, though. As for pixel response times, ASUS locks the overdrive setting to 80 while in ELMB modes, so the performance is quite good at higher refresh rates, but the overshoot does become a problem as the framerate drops. The biggest problem with ELMB-Sync is the Devil's Horns type double strobe. It really hurts visual clarity compared with traditional single-strobe modes.

[@brentcox2961]

​@@ApertureGrille Okay thanks! I'll probably just leave the ELMB disabled then. Mine's coming from Amazon tomorrow!

[@RespawnOver]

Hi great video! I always had 24 inch monitors and this one caught my eye but what I have noticed in most 27 inch monitors is pixelation and for me that is a big deal and unless is a 1440p monitor I have a real hard time at choosing 27 inches so what I wanted to ask is if this 27 inch ips is good at that? I dont know a lot about monitors but I dont like big monitors that look like the resolution is stretcht and english is not my main language so I dont know If I was able to explain my self

Wow, what an amazing review, blurbusters should get you on their team and get screens sent to you for testing.

[@ApertureGrille]

Thanks! Hey, you weren't, by chance, on the Bethesda Quake Champions forum back in the closed beta days? I remember having to upload very large animated GIFs to show bugs.

i found your channel thanks to blur buster forum and MAAAN! your reviews are the best! I have a question for you... have you noticed high input lag at 75-100hz too? or just at 60hz?

[@ApertureGrille]

Thank you! I just checked to make sure, but when using the control panel to set the VG279QM to 60 Hz or 85 Hz, the lag is really easy to feel. At 100 Hz, it's still noticeable, but it gets better from there on up. But that only applies when using the control panel to limit the framerate while using DisplayPort. In normal adaptive-sync operation, input lag is minimal throughout the range. I haven't checked with HDMI, but that would only be a problem when using consoles that run at 60 Hz. For PC use, you should always let adaptive-sync displays run at their highest refresh rate.

@@ApertureGrille appreciate your quick reply, thank you :)

[@hybridswifty3873]

Which one would you recommend, Asus Tuf vg279qm or the vg27aq variant? Which one has the least backlight bleed? Also, is there a huge different between this monitor’s 1080p vs 1440p?
