Compare monitors by slow motion camera

Post by Q83Ia7ta » 11 Feb 2016, 12:26

I'm gonna to compare Asus PG278Q, X-Star DP2414LED (at 144Hz and 201Hz) and some random 60Hz monitor by slow motion records via Nikon 1 J1.
Gonna compare response/overdrive & input lag. That camera captures 640x240@400fps or 1200fps@320x120.
Just did draft capture with some random 60Hz monitor (Acer G246HYL BMJJ e-IPS response time 6ms)

For 144Hz I need may be some higher test speed and higher UFO separation.
Any recommendations how to do it much better? Lens is 10-30mm

Very cool! I'd definitely be interested in more of these. Perhaps show the entire monitor as well during a portion of the test, so that individual updates will be more apparent, and scan out behavior can be observed, which would be helpful information for monitors with low-persistence (strobed backlight) modes.

test#2
X-Star DP2414LED 144Hz (without any overdrive options)
Asus PG278Q 144Hz (overdrive extreme)
Overdrive by Asus PG278Q is better.

test#3
reduced playback rate from 30 to 10 fps
X-Star DP2414LED 200Hz overclocked (without any overdrive options)
Asus PG278Q 144Hz (overdrive extreme)

Hard to say but seems like Asus PG278Q better because it's sharper (by video and feels by game).

test#4
X-Star DP2414LED 200Hz overclocked
X-Star DP2414LED 144Hz

200Hz is better here even there is a bit of picture degradation @200Hz.

very nice stuff! I have a 1000 fps camera, if I get time I'll record what my FW900 CRT looks like.
