Even at $250, this monitor really has nothing to offer, and I'm especially disappointed because it lacks a strobing mode, but you folks here on BlurBusters might enjoy this kind of detailed and nerdy look at an LCD.

For this review, I've also put together a custom UE4 build to take pursuit shots while in full-screen mode with adaptive sync enabled, something I can't do with the testufo site. I explain fully in the video why it's necessary to get the best performance out of FreeSync displays. It's in a functional but not pretty state right now, so when I get it gussied up a little, I'll put up a download link so you can try it with your monitor (if you don't mind running an .exe from an internet stranger).

Oh, btw, sorry for not reviewing the ViewSonic XG270! It's a bit too expensive...
