The Fastest Gaming Monitor... for now (280Hz, IPS) - ASUS TUF Gaming VG279QM Review

[@soylentgreenb]

Yes. IPS simply doesn’t go to under 4 ms without extreme overdrive that causes massive negative ghosting; the modes people use will be 4 ms at best. Which is why 240 Hz is the highest that arguably could make sense. 280 is worse, not better.

[@TheRealNightShot]

Correction at 3:37 : Since I have this monitor, for the love of God, DON'T use the embedded speakers. Even for incidental use, they are horrible. Most likely you'll have dedicated audio already, but just letting you know. The audio of your phone will be LOUDER than what you will be able to hear from the monitor. This screen is amazing, but it's clear that to save money, Asus completely dumped the audio quality.

[@someoldguyplays]

For someone who's mainly used Dell UltraSharps @~60Hz most of his professional life (and an old KLV series Bravia at home), I imagine this monitor will blow my mind when I see one in person

[@KindOldRaven]

Pro tip though: people should stop sheeping eachother by claiming motion blur reduction (black frame insertion, dyac+, ELMB, ULMB etc) provides a ''smoother'' visual. It actually does the *exact* opposite. It'll make any refresh rate and framerate appear clearer during motion, but choppier because it... well... removes motion blur - which usually creates the illusion of smooth movement. It increases motion clarity at the cost of smoothness, usually some brightness (unless dyac+) and approximately 0.5-1 frame of input lag. Remember those flickering 60hz CRT displays (if you're old, like me)? Yeah, that's the idea, but at much higher refresh rates usually.

[@TechTesters]

Better motion clarity = smoother gaming experience in my book. Or "better", or pick another synonym.

@@r00kiet80 It is enough, but nowadays with the graphics card as advanced as it is, enough is never enough. People buy 2080ti for a reason, not to have enough graphics, they want to have their eyes burning off because of the pixel density. Gamers who only play competitive games are still the minority, you're always doing something else, maybe some triple-a games, maybe a movie or Netflix once in a while, where 1080p in a 27-inch display just don't cut it. I am just saying, from my experience, watching youtube videos from a 27-inch FHD screen sucks. Plus, real competitive gamers would prefer a 24-inch screen anyway, since they'll need to be close to the screen, and 27 inches is just a little bit too big.
