Google "ROG Swift quality control" and you get results like the following: http://www.amazon.com/PG278Q-27-Inch-Screen-LED-Lit-Monitor/product-reviews/B00MSOND8C http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/asus-ecustomer-service-center-336/rog-swift-pg278q-quality-control-4868218.html...

Cooool! I know comparing both screens' ULMB modes at 100Hz is "apples to apples" but it's worth pointing out that the Swift supports ULMB at 120Hz (and gives even better blur reduction at that refresh rate, as shown in the pursuit camera shot that's NOT embedded above).

What do you mean? I watch Netflix on Firefox all the time without issue...are you talking solely about whether it works on a 21:9 monitor?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought pcmonitors.info was basically one guy: Adam Simmons aka PCM2 from Overclockers UK. So unless I'm wrong about that, please stop referring to that (very nice) website as "they"

Already discussed in the other thread...but boom indeed. Glowing review

Lol, I can literally picture your mind ticking over, justifying this next purchase :)

I personally agree, though not everyone is as bothered by TN viewing angles as you or I. If looking to buy 3 screens instead of 1, the Acer is clearly better than the Asus.

Agreed, though I believe the Acer also has better input lag measurements. Glad to hear that you still have the Forises. This means that you can do a comparison with your Acer before (potentially) selling them :)

It's a result of Overdrive. As refresh rate up, Overdrive becomes more 'aggressive' even within the same 'normal' or 'extreme' setting:

I'm yet to see any solid evidence that AU Optronics makes any panels for LG. A sentence on Wikipedia without a source is gives me literally 0 confidence. There are a few scattered statements on Google suggesting that AU Optronics once made 'some' panels for LG, but that this was literally...

Ok, so that says No citation. It also doesn't say what proportion of LG's panels are made by AU Optronics, not even if said panels are IPS panels or something else. Got something we can actually verify?

Demand for responsive IPS panels has been steadily growing, but remains something of a niche market. Throughout the past 10+ years, LG has been raking in quite a decent amount from its conventional IPS tech. As for the future...well, LG is one of the OLED panel manufacturers :)

Eh? LG doesn't make their own IPS panels? That's the first I've ever heard of it. Can you please elaborate? According to this page: .

...you're right. I clearly need more coffee

Vega: Do you still have your Eizo Foris? If so, I'd love to see how that monitor's Turbo240 function looks compared to this Acer with ULMB @ 100Hz. The brightness difference will be huge, I imagine, but the blur reduction itself is something I'm having a harder time guessing.

A shame they didn't post PixPerAn photos so that we could see this performance for ourselves. Any other review sites potentially reading this...take note!

I know it's imperfect, but can't you just copy the OSD settings and import TFTCentral's ICC profile?

I'm very impressed overall. They got the input lag even lower than the Rog Swift has. The PixPerAn screen capture at 144Hz is also much better than I had feared (provided that the correct OverDrive setting is used). The information in the ULMB section of the review seems a little lacking in...

Makes sense. Although 5.5ms GTG average is very good, the B2B rate is probable closer to 10ms, which is the same refresh interval of 100Hz (1000/100). At 120Hz, you'd need the B2B response time to be more comfortably under 8.33ms (1000/120) My conclusion: If you're consistently driving...

That PixPerAn pic of 144Hz at OD = Normal is very impressive for an IPS-like screen: Edit: image insert isn't working. Here is the link: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/images/acer_xb270hu/od_comparison2.jpg

OMG it's live! Time to stop posting and start reading

TFTCentral's monitor panel part database has the following to say about this panel: Size: 27.0"WS Manufacturer: AU Optronics Technology: AHVA Model: M270DAN02.3 Resolution: 2560x1440 Response Time: 12ms G2G Contrast Ratio: 1000:1 Brightness: 350cd/m2 Viewing Angles: 178/178 Colour...

Sure it's theoretically possible. At a minimum, I'd say the cable itself would need to "supports HDMI 2.0" (yes I know HDMI 1.4 is 2.0 compliant) A quick search suggests that such adapters are pretty new/rare. The only ones I can find are those in the following link that specifically say...

I'm far more worried by actual pixel response times, and the affect on blur and ghosting

Correct, and the TFTCentral update from 16 Feb is about the latter ThIs thread is about the former

Wrong model, dude...

I think you mean PPI, not resolution. And indeed, LCD is near tapped-out in my view. We need OLED to come and to live up to the hype

Lipstick on a pig

Lol. OP, the best monitor for your particular needs is called a television

Shh! Tring desperately enough as it is to resist the urge to buy this monitor. :)

Can you rephrase your question please? I'm not sure what you're asking. G-Sync and V-Sync are different. I too like having V-Sync off but G-Sync has been demonstrated to have the same input lag on-average as V-Sync=off: http://www.blurbusters.com/gsync/preview2/

Lol, Vega dude, you're compulsive :)

OCUK's pre-orders are typically more expensive than the MSRP, AFAIK. I'd wait for sales to actually begin

Not sure about US. For Europem TFTCentral is citing an MSRP of EUR699. That would certainly be consistent with the "under £600" figure for the UK that Adam Simmons predicts.

I believe it depends on the monitor. Some monitors have 2-3 or more overdrive levels you can choose from, such as the 'Normal,' 'Fast' and 'Faster' settings I had on my old Samsung. Others, like my IPS and, I believe, Vega's Eizo, only have a 'factory default' that cannot be seen, let along...

I suspect this is a pretty accurate rule. In the case of this Acer, this means at least 8ms instead of 4ms. If it's the same 144Hz AHVA panel in TFTCentral's database (which is rated at 12ms by AU Optronics) this means quite a bit of overdrive...

Interesting...didn't realise the MPRT test could determine the persistence after low motion blur modes like Turbo 240 have worked their magic.. My IPS gets 7.6ms when OC'd to 120Hz, which is faster than 120Hz's 8.333ms screen redraw time, but slower than 144Hz's 6.94ms redraw time that occurs...

Basically because I am sceptical of the 4ms quoted response time being accurate. I fear they are either quoting the single fastest pixel/color transition of the bunch (rather than the real average) or otherwise quoting a number that is only possible with a very aggressive overdrive setting. If...

I do not expect this to rival the FW900...rapidz7. While this monitor will have ULMB, we should not expect blur reduction to be quite as good as high-performing TNs like the Rog Swift, and this is due to IPS/AHVA panels' slower pixel transition times. So a best-in-class CRT like the FW900...
