Do all TN G-sync monitors have banding issues? Help me pick
Posted: 15 Sep 2017, 19:18
Hi!
I am reading about monitors for a very long time now and I have few questions but first let me start with my experiences.
I have gtx 1060 6gb btw. Currently I use amva+ screen and while it's good, it's a bit slow input lag and ghosting + dimming when in motion is very distracting. It's typical VA behavior that screen dims/flickers/smears in the darker areas when moving.
I also had TN samsung like 11 years ago and ips dell after that and back then. I hated the ips for glow and crushing/obstructing with glow all the dark areas of the image.
Ideally I am searching for Gsync 144hz monitor but I do not game competitively so input lag is not a concern. It's just for general use and gaming. Just not much multiplayer. I've seen many posts about Dell S24 and S27 bad looking bleeding. Then there is left asus PG24248Q which seems perfect(price, gsync, ulmb) for my needs.... but it's also said to have banding. is it as bad as on dell monitors?
In fact the issue seems to be with all 8 bit AUO panels in new monitors with g-sync from what I could gather.
So the real question starts now(sorry for very long intro )... If I were to exclude G-sync monitors(if all really have banding) and focus only on glorious blur reduction and 120 or 144hz, what monitor to get? I remember my old crt Eizo running at 120hz back in 2002 when I was a teenager hehe, so that memory really makes me get some nice blur free monitor over current VA.
But screen quality is also important for me. I do not expect VA contrast but I do watch movies, shows or play horror games now and then so I like good contrast/black depth.
Unlike 11 years ago when I had TN, now I have a better suited apartment and desk setup, so TN viewing angles should not be a problem. At least I will not have ips glow and va smearing...
With my weak gpu I am probably looking at 24" 1080p monitors only. Possibly only those with lowest possible strobing refresh rate as 1060 will not be doing 144hz in any game. Can I use monitor at 120hz strobing rate and play game at locked 60 with riva tuner or half vsync?
Some people recommended LG 24GM79G for it's screen quality(good contrast) compared to other tn panels but I don't know how it's blur reduction works.
Thanks and sorry for overly long post!
