[@northwestguru1]

Good to hear. I wouldn't regret anything. I've been geeking out on this Asus TUF VG27AQ and I have to say the the feature in discussion is not a huge deal. I've already noticed ELMB w/gsync affecting different moving objects differently. So, it slightly solves one optical illusion, while possibly making other random optical illusions.

[@RiskyBRiskyB]

It's always gonna be like that, just get the best one that makes the most sense to your use case and resources. Otherwise, your just never going to have anything new and will likely regret it later.

About the micro stutter: just turn to full screen mode instead of borderless window, you can eliminate the micro stuttering. Because in borderless window mode, the GPU has to copy frame buffer to another frame buffer that's bound to the game's window before showing it. That copying could be delayed there's other stuff utilizing GPU at the same time. Just turn to full screen mode, the copying is not needed, thus eliminating the micro stuttering.

Instead of a higher frame rate you could have just bumped the shutter speed accordingly, which is double the shutter speed of a frame rate that you aim for. Should give you correct results. Less light, but it should still be enough, especially for a screen.

I have this, the only negatives I can say about it is, a fair bit of backlight bleed in the bottom corners. If you're not in a dark room though this isn't so noticeable. Also the fact it comes locked to 59hz out of the box, I tried running some games on the new PC (i7 9700 & RTX2070 Super) and was freaking out that it was jerky, freezing for seconds at a time when i was sure gsync was on and I thought I'd wasted my money buying the new PC and monitor.

[@soylentgreenb]

6:20 that’s not where the benefit is! If your eyes move and the monitor stays illuminated you smear the image over an entire frames’ worth of time. Eyes move vontinuously and display in discrete steps. By flashing the image briefly you get a clear image that follows along ln the retina as an after image. That’s why CRTs have such extremely good motion clarity and LCDs even with BFI are kind of meh. Microled will fix this; extreme brightness for a tiny period of time; then shut off and update the picture and then flash again at extreme brightness. For monolithic microleds as might be used for AR 1 million nits is achievable. Even through semitransparent mirrors and other ineffiicencies you can still have a duty cycle of 1% or less.

[@bowserfromsonic5517]

backlight strobing reduces motion blur from the persistence of vision phenomenon. basically when your eye tracks an object on screen, your brain will create an illusion of the image and track it even during a still frame while it waits for a new frame to appear on screen.this effect produces motion blur. elmbs inserts a black frame between screen refreshes by turning off the backlight. this forces your brain to get rid of the illusion, reducing motion blur. this motion blur is not the same as the kind of blur you'd get from out of sync frame timings or late pixel transitions. normally, backlight strobing and adaptive sync are mutually exclusive, however elmbs allows for both adaptive sync and backlight strobing to be active at the same time. this just means that they found a way to tie the backlight strobing refresh speed to the refresh rate of the monitor(which is the fps of the gpu due to adaptive sync).

[@MikkoRantalainen]

ULMB and ELMB are meaningful *only* when your eyes move or you record monitor with *a moving camera*. If camera is static (e.g. attached on tripod) or you stare at the crosshair without moving your eyes, ULMB and ELMB only introduce flicker without any benefit. For example, sniping in CS GO and tracking the target with mouse, as long as the target stays under the crosshair, there's no benefit for using ULMB or ELMB because you constantly look at the center. However, in close combat situations where the target is moving across the screen faster than you are able to track with mouse, then the difference gets more important. Similarly, in driving simulators, the difference is most important if you look at different locations on display surface while the screen animates. It's those cases where black frame insertion actually reduces the visible blur.

There is one detail that I didn't quite catch here: At 7:19, you say that both adaptive sync and ELMB don't work if you have less than 165Hz. I don't know about the technical details of the motion-blur reduction, but the point of adaptive sync is to sync your monitors refresh rate to the output frequency of your GPU. So its main purpose is to use it below 165Hz, which contradicts your statement. So, does ELMB work under 165Hz? If not, why not exactly? Does it work above 165Hz?

was planning on buying the VG248QG, basically the 24 inch version of this monitor for $209 on amazon, but it’s sold out rn :’(

[@roofis8121]

This ''HOLY GRAIL'' monitor has a dead pixel after a few hours of use and that's my second monitor GREAT JOB ASUS think im gonna go with aoc 24g2u instead next time

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

@Vishnu Kalluri ASUS QC is fkn garbage on their monitors. I doubt I'll buy another one either, Had both 1440p ROG Swifts the TN 144hz and the IPS 165hz. TN had to have G sync module replaced, IPS developed blue line straight after warranty expired. Sent in to get it checked out, Technician says panel is stuffed and will cost $100 less than buying a new one, He said it's not worth repairing.

i have the VG279QM version, 280Hz refresh rate. Man, i can´t even express the whole of it... The speakers quality tho... But gaming=headset, right? ;) Awesome review, i´m subbing.

Asus will send another one with small improvements and higher refresh rate

You dont need higher refreshrate cause you arent getting higher than 144fps with 1440p Ultra.....

[@KindOldRaven]

ELMB sounds like a dream to me: there's a few games where I love capping my framerate at 140 on my 144hz monitor and enable Freesync (I love consistent frame delivery and frametimes and despite my games running at around 180 average, the competitive ones, I choose freesync without extra input lag over unlimited fps and less consistent image during fast turns) but I lose out on my motion blur reduction option, which is pretty decent on my panel. However... from what I've read ELMB still is very prone to flickering in brightness and things like that, whereas my own normal MBR is completely consistent so the flickering isn't visible without a slowmo camera. However... my panel has the issue where MBR is very, very bright instead of more dim than the standard setting. It's Samsung's version which works slightly differently, but to the same visual effect as normal ELMB/ULMB/Lightboost.

[@rodoaguihugh]

I just bought this monitor, waiting for it to be shipped. But I just saw a different model, the Vg27wq. Specs look the same, but it's curved and va. No one has done a review on it yet. What do you guys think? What's the diff?

[@james.housego]

lmao im literally sitting here watching this on the same monitor

[@CitizenTechTalk]

You really should have mentioned that the 32" also does exactly the same. I know because I just got one! 1ms, 144mhz, 1440p, etc

[@AlejandroMorales-cx2mh]

That one is not IPS

[@CitizenTechTalk]

@@AlejandroMorales-cx2mh no it VA but performs literally almost as well, that's why I bought it and I have literally 0 complaints to date. Other than not bring G-Sync native. Aside from that it works perfectly with g-sync compatible. Just an excellent monitor with excellent tech in it and for an excellent price too! Honestly the best 32" one the market right now, especially when considering price and shadowboost technology as well!

[@goldenheartOh]

I game on an Asus VG248QA with a separate Lightstrobe program running to enable Black Frame Insertion on this model. The app doesn't ways automatically open with Windows 10. I recently forgot to make sure it was on before starting my game. Even at 120fps, I INSTANTLY NOTICED it was blurrier. More accurately, I noticed it was blurry, because with BFI, there is zero blur on this monitor! I don't understand how BFI isn't a hugely sought after feature.

I just purchased the VP28UQG which I believe is a TN. It looked so washed out that it was intolerable to me. The blacks looked grey. I am going to return it. I am thinking I need to get the IPS Tuf version. Are the colors pretty vibrant?

[@kevinmccrea1335]

First of all I would like to thank hardware canucks for everything that they do they are great guys.I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings at all on here about this monitor but I had it for a week. And I decided to return it.there is still motion blur on this monitor when looking at things from a far distance away..using freesync or gsync and Elmb has a serious bug. please take 10 minutes of your time and check out the full review from a5hun on KZbin. And FYI the video came out after I purchased my monitor not before. You will definitely understand and see what I'm talkin about and it's real no kidding. Hope this helps you guys.

There's a reason why the PG279Q is still at a $600+ price point, It's still that good.

[@hamsome9511]

Next batch of monitors will have AKOVOWEKOD SYNC and RMWOFJKQ SYNC on them.

[@discorzjr]

6:55 If you keep your framerate below monitors used refresh rate, v-sync will not introduce input lag. You can limit your fps with in game limiters or RTSS or nvcp limiter. In game limiters are usually prefered over third party softwares.

Might want to remove this bit from the description "the best budget gaming monitor so far," this thing costs 500 Eurobux.

[@MyCarllee]

Just bought this monitor. Guys! Don't believe in the hype! It's a great monitor for gaming, but it looks already great with ELMB Sync turned off. When I turn it on, there're very noticable artifacts when watching videos, sometimes even cut scenes in games. It's not even worth the extra effort to switch between on and off depending what I'm doing, because it really makes very little difference. I can reliably get that headshot I want with ELMB Sync off.

[@hassanaslam6008]

I can second that. I exchanged my Asus PG279Q with this one and honestly do not see any difference at all with the exception of the lower price point which saved me about $106.
