My fresh Asus PG248Q 180Hz experience
Posted: 28 Jul 2016, 05:54
Hello! I bought Asus PG248Q two days ago and I wanna share some my experience with this monitor.
This monitor compared with other 144+ Hz TNs I saw has good overdrive at 180Hz. Good (if not best) overdrive is by G-sync. There are 3 overdrive settings. OFF/ Normal / Extreme iirc.
I can't say how good colors are but default settings are definitely better than XL2411T, XL2411Z,XL2430T by BenQ I used.
Looks like panel is new and same as in ASUS MG248Q - AUO M240Q007 V0. By ASUS MG248Q review I can't see any improvements over default panel of almost all 24" TN 144Hz monitors - AUO M240HW01 V8. May be I'm wrong.
180Hz isn't perfect as I expected. Some moire appears at 180Hz. Looks like small thin transparent horizontal lines every ~10 pixels that move slowly all over the screen. It's playable but bothers me. Never had them at ZIS DVI board (with AUO M240HW01 V8) at 220Hz.
144Hz is ok. I've talked with other PG248Q owner from other country and he has same moire. So it's not a defective panel/monitor. I'm looking how it can be fixed. Free to suggest.

I haven't tried G-Sync, ULMB, 160Hz & 170Hz yet.
I can't recommend it for upgrade of current 144Hz panel for regular players because 180Hz isn't great with this moire and PG258Q (native 240Hz on new 25" TN panel) coming in 2-6 months.
