Re: Eye strain problem

I think I know why you had eye strain as I encountered the same issue, I had the S2719DGF and later tried the 24in variant both gave me eye strain that after 1hr or so I could not look at the screen, and I realized for this particular monitors it was the the anti glare coating/filter on the screen ...

Re: Eye strain problem

Sorry I guess I should've been more specific. I was talking about the AOC 24G2 IPS panel specifically, because I believe it is one of the cheapest IPS 144hz VRR monitors at under 200 dollars. When I say cutting corners I'm talking not just pure performance metrics like latency, pixel response, ghos...

Re: Eye strain problem

Is it a case of cutting corners to get an IPS panel? Pretty much no longer the case, when you use 240Hz "1ms" IPS. They're quite competitive with TN. The fastest TN will be faster (say, the BenQ XL2546S DyAC+ and like), but my personal experience is that models such as ViewSonic XG270 and ASUS VG27...

Re: Eye strain problem

Yeah after spending all day at work looking at regular cheap monitors I just came home and immediately the AOC 24G2 is giving me a headache. It has this weird cloudy sheen that makes it hard to look at. I turned the contrast way down, the brightness is at 5, and digital vibrancy at 47%. I've also me...

Can't get above 60hz DVI-HDMI on my retro pc using an AOC 24G2 monitor

I have a Windows 98 retro pc setup that I like to use, and I thought having a high frame rate monitor might be nice, since many old pc games use odd ball refresh rates higher than 60hz. I've already been using a cheap Asus VS239H-P monitor with a DVI-HDMI cable attached to a Geforce 4 ti 4600, and i...

Re: Eye strain problem

Nvidia has a digital vibrancy setting that is supposed to reduce eyestrain. I reduced it to 47% since I noticed strain coming from a cheap Asus IPS to an AOC 24G2. Part of the issue is I used limited range RGB while on HDMI, because I really don't like the huge contrast that comes from full range RG...

Re: Does 60hz content on a high refresh rate monitor (AOC 24G2) look/behave any differently than on a native 60hz panel?

So with a 144hz monitor I would need to change the refresh rate to 120 and then use 1/2 vsync? Is this only necessary if freesync/gsync does not properly match the refresh rate of the 60hz content?

Does 60hz content on a high refresh rate monitor (AOC 24G2) look/behave any differently than on a native 60hz panel?

I'm looking at finally getting my first high/variable refresh rate display (AOC 24G2) but am wanting to know how legacy 60hz content will behave. I've read about potential ghosting issues related to pixel overdrive (I think?) when viewing content that's locked to 60hz and that high refresh rate moni...

Re: New round of tests coming? Nvidia cards with freesync?

I'm most worried that support is limited to Windows 10 with a specific driver version and thus probably more susceptible to any sort of driver/Microsoft shenanigans. I mean we already see how Windowed gsync has been broken for awhile now (I don't have a gsync monitor, just what I've read) so who kno...
