[@JessicaJinx]

I have the Samsung Odessey G9 32Inch, which I believe was the first monitor to offer 1440p/240hz, and I absolutely love it. I also like that it isn't overly gamery in looks, compared to this Aorus model.

[@kreativeGG]

Maybe I won the panel lottery or I just found some settings to optimize the panel, but I kinda disagree with some points in your review. I have to admit I'm using the panel with the black equalizer cranked up ingame, which might just mask the slower transitions and the resulting overshoot. Overshoot: Overshoot is not noticable in 95% of situations in games like CS:GO or valorant. Atleast on my unit overshoot is only visible in fast vertical movements. Aim Stabilizer (Aim Destroyer): I'm using this monitor in a lit room at 30% brightness and with aim stabilizer on. I have not seen any other monitor strobing this well, except maybe my tuned zowie XL2540. Theres barely any crosstalk and minimal overshoot on the left side, which is really not noticable ingame. Just check out this testfile on google drive: file/d/164GBVgBBpRuYNtNBYRS5YvT4wIHM9SR4/ EDIT// After looking into it, turning off the black equalizer (to the standard setting 10) seems to worsen both overshoot and crosstalk significantly. Turning the black equalizer to 0 basically makes the monitor unusable. It was also not mentioned, that this monitor has a BGR subpixel-layout, which means text on screen can appear blurry and edges of windows or images can appear reddish/blueish, which makes it look a bit unpleasing to look at.

[@Krispy-3]

so would you still recommend this monitor or should I cancel my order?

If you're fine with the stuff I mentioned, it's a very good monitor. I just sent mine back due to pixel defects.

I completely agree that 1440p240Hz is the sweet spot. I got the Samsung G7 Odyssey 27" last year, and it is amazing. It is 1440p240Hz as a very responsive VA panel, rivaling the best IPS panels right now in terms of response times. I'd love to hear your views on it and comparing it to a monitor like this Aorus FI27Q-X.

[@keithmccann5855]

Typically VA's have better response times but lack in colors. IPS has great, vivid colors, but response times were always slower. IPS response times have improved considerably though. Also this monitor is the first on a Sharp panel. 90% of the monitors out there are either AU Optronics or LG.

The question here is that is the jump from 144 hz to 240 hz worth all that money.

Many people seems to think that the pixel response time of OLEDs is so much better that it renders LCD monitors almost obsolete.

If changing brightness via the monitor is a hassle to you I highly encourage you to check if your monitor supports DDC. Via direct display control you can change almost all options your monitor has in software. If you want a fast way to change brightness or other options of your monitor I recommend a combination of autohotkey and a tool called controlmymonitor. I can even change display inputs via this tool without navigating through the slow as f#*! monitor osd. Coming from mac os, this is a feature I simply cannot live without on a windows pc. AutoHotKey Script: " LControl & F1::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\controlmymonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe" /ChangeValue Primary 10 -5 LControl & F2::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\controlmymonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe" /ChangeValue Primary 10 5 LControl & F5::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\controlmymonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe" /SetValue Primary 60 16 LControl & F6::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\controlmymonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe" /SetValue Primary 60 17 LControl & F3::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\controlmymonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe" /ChangeValue Primary 92 -2 LControl & F4::Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\controlmymonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe" /ChangeValue Primary 92 2 "

[@goblinphreak2132]

the future of monitors will be OLED with black frame insertion. no, black frame insertion is not "flickering" like the way a backlight flickers. it will feel completely different than when a backlit monitor strobes its backlight.... it may seem the same because you turn the pixels off early, but this becomes an ideal of sample and hold, aka the way the technology works. however, OLED with BFI is a god send. the lack of motion blur, being akin to a CRT, is godly. I have tested people playing on CRT vs modern LCD and they are easily able to hit shots they couldn't on an LCD because CRT is so "up to date" with that is actually going on in the game. Blur Busters has a great article on this. OLED with BFI gets EXTREMELY close to behaving like a CRT in the sense of displaying whats going on as it is. A slow monitor will show a guy at location A, while in reality he is at location B. its a small window and you might think "no big deal" but again, a CRT is better for FPS gaming than ANY current gaming monitor. the future is OLED with BFI. even 60hz OLED with BFI is akin to 240hz on typical "flicker free" LCDs.... let that sink in. Meaning 120hz with BFI on OLED should be akin to 480hz. Again, talking about motion blur (the lack there of) and response time of seeing whats actually happening as it happening. I could 100% go for a 27" 4k 60hz BFI OLED monitor right now. But all the monitor brands are fucking lazy, and would rather give users 1080p 144hz which cost them LESS than 50 dollars to make, but sell for $250 new! Its bullshit. All they care about is profit, not pushing technology forward.

[@goblinphreak2132]

Adding on, I would not use that shitty program to color calibrate. Its fucking horrible. I would rather use X-Rite's official software over that stupid program. And seeing what professionals use, they wouldn't touch that 3rd party software either even though it seems like everyone and their mother recommends it.... I have tested calibration on both program, and while some may say "your preference is subjective to your own taste" I would say bullshit. Because if the whole idea of tuning a monitor is to get color accuracy, they should both, in theory, get the exact same results, considering the only thing changing is the program (both using d65 whitepoint and both using the same 120 nits target). Therefore, I can only detest using said 3rd party app, when buying an x-rite product you get use of their fantastic software as is. IF ANYTHING, you would want to step it up and use actual professional software, which cost 1000's of dollars and isn't worth it for consumers.

I'm asking this question, because getting arround 144fps would make these monitors somewhat redundant, cause you could just buy a 1440p 144Hz panel at less than half the price.

You need a 700 dollar card to get the most of it

I considered buying this kind of monitor but considering the price difference between this (the Aorus is 880€ in my country) and a 1440p 144Hz monitor like the LG27GN850 which i bought for just 260€, i really couldn't justify spending around 3x the price just for 240Hz which doesn't make much difference with 144Hz considering even with a rtx 3070 i'm having an hard time reaching over 160fps on WZ and Apex (playing on medium settings with a 3600)

[@AxR558]

I honestly think we're about a GPU generation away from 240hz 1440p being hit. In warzone I get about 130-150fps at high settings/1440p on a 3080. I'd be paying for 100fps that I don't use (yet).

Me : watching this vid my nvidia gt260 : are you sure about that?

[@chadultrapromax1735]

This will be my next upgrade in probably 3 years from 1080p 144hz

[@StgVirus1]

I have the Odyssey G7 27", it's an awesome monitor. But some people may not like the curved display.

[@magmavolt5732]

2:22 i thought Gigabyte Gaming monitors had a OSD software(OSD sidekick) where u can adjust all monitor settings via software and also have custom user profiles..better use software user profiles with different brightness settings and toggle it there itself..rather than using joystick button.

[@rccosplay3249]

I got the Asus VG27AQ 27" QHD 2K 165 Refresh rate, 350nits brightness with HDR. paid $399.00 + tax. I highly recommend this monitor. Don't listen to any reviews, it's great @ a wonderful price.

[@shiraz1736]

What is the point of RGB at the back of a monitor? not to mention the over the top plastic landfill stand.

[@jake152]

I've been waiting for these for awhile, finally a few options for 1440 240+hz and more on the way

[@deceivery]

7:30 absolute playmaker

[@ddannyable]

Let's go 500k this year

[@project_ice]

I'm not a fan of the 3 bezels under and 1 on top the screen design. In this case i would rather go with the new Alienware AW2721D or the LG27GN950's "4-side virtually borderless display" as LG likes to call it. This is me hoping a 27inch,1440p, 144Hz model makes it way to the market this year with a "borderless display".

[@ascndr_]

I’d really like to see a 1440p/240Hz monitor showdown of sorts

[@adambreitkopf5478]

I cannot wait for that Superlight to come into stock. The FI27Q-X looks perfect and the 240Hz is impressive I just can't go past the 27GN950.

[@Qwepzy]

How much better is it than my current OMEN 27? 1440p with 240hz

[@joserobles1764]

I have the Alienware 27 240Hz monitor and love it. I was very iffy about buying it as you all my know, it's pretty pricey. Upon receiving it though, I got pretty excited. Color wise, it seems tool a bit off, due to the 8 to 10-bit color depth if I recall correctly. I can only game at 8-bit at 240hz versus 10-bit at 144 or 160Hz. Not sure if Alienware is suppose to come out with a firmware update to remediate that.

[@DrHakennase]

I would like a BenQ Zowie version with DyAC

[@TriWaZe]

Nobody mentions if you can get 144hz with 10 bit on. Past monitors couldnt do 144 but im curious if this one can.

[@NikiandFikret]

You should try and do a review of the alienware 1440p 240hz monitor!

[@speedster427]

Hardware Unboxed just did the Alienware.

[@Z3EEMX]

Hi, can you make video side by side comparing this monitor (Fl27Q-X) with lg 27GN950-B idk which one should i get -.-

[@danielz8186]

this comes up as I just bought the AW2521HF on sale lmao

[@NKernytskyy]

Use F.lux util to adjust color temp automatically.

[@hakalogik]

Nice review thank you. If you want to change brightness on a monitor with keyboard key (like mac os) you can do it with DDC/CI standard. I change brightness quite a lot every day, and it's really easy that way. More than all these anti-ergonomic UI for monitor.

[@MaxJones123]

Still waiting for a pretty one... This gaming design is sooo strange.

[@alexcortelyou8124]

The LG 27GN950-B received a firmware update that bumps the refresh rate up to 160Hz.

[@MushroomKidable]

if it had a better aim stabiliser i would be sold. Asus has ELMB, Zowie BenQ has DyAc.

[@carsonlight_lapse6394]

Well, I dont have money tho... welp back to my 1080p screen

[@ladderenjoyer]

1080p is still number one

[@largamau]

Downside of upgrading a monitor = You have to upgrade your gpu keep up There is a GPU shotage due to mining/chip shortage = ridiculous prices In the end I stayed at 1080p 144hz.

[@starmstarm8581]

Great review, personally I think I prefer LG 27GN950. You can play Cyberpunk in 4K, and drop the resolution in FPS games where quality doesn't matter so much. Good monitor nonetheless.

[@KLartf2]

Theres also the osd Programm ,where u can adjust your settings with a mouse instead of the knob

[@Scorp1oNPL]

Ohm my god was waiting for good review and have it

[@maartenvanlooveren2571]

My problem with 1440p is the big screen size... There are literally NO 1440p 144Hz+ monitors below 27 inch :(

[@平和-v1z]

Superb review!
