Whats your opinion on a monitor like PG27AQN?


I am very sensitive to motion blur. This has gotten worse since I started wearing glasses years ago.

I was waiting for G-sync PULSAR for more than 2 years. I gave up (at least for now :x )

Two weeks ago I purchased a used PG27AQN (ULMB2) for 300 ...

Backlight strobing ("ELMB" is the vendor-specific marketing term for it in your display) on an LCD that uses a backlight can provide much lower motion blur than OLED. If ELMB's pulse width is, say, 2ms, then on an OLED without BFI you'd need 500FPS@500Hz to match it.

For example the PG27AQN has a 3.0 response time at max Hz, how does that relate to strobing? Does it stay 3 MS response time if ULMB2 at 360Hz?


Imagine the response of a pixel as a raising curve (intensity will increase) with a plateau followed by a decline. From near 0% (start) to near 0 ...

There is another BFI implementation ( i think sub-refresh called) where the frame time can be reduced further like on the LG C1 down to 3.2ms frame visibility time. This equals the ULMB strobe time of 2 to 3ms nearly. Strobing and BFI both reduce the average intensity, however the problem is much ...

Aim at 2ms persistence...Personally, I use Strobe Utility to go from 1ms to 2ms and sometimes even 2.5-3ms, depending on my room lighting conditions and the type of game I play, but 3ms is already annoying.

Without further information about what was your old monitor and what settings you know have (fps=Hz?) it will be difficult to judge.

Are you referring to screen smearing effect / motion blur ? There are a ...

As the others noted the topic question is ambiguous.

I own an ULMB1 monitor myself (PG279Q, IPS) (waiting for new ASUS PULSAR display this year so badly…). The backlight pulse (ON) time is 2ms at 120Hz and 100% pulse width setting. This equals a pixel persistence of 2ms. A 360Hz monitor has a frame ...
