Ok, so here's brand-new review of ASUS VG259QM from RTINGS:

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/ ... ng-vg259qm

Seems like the smaller version of VG279QM is actually not better (in terms of response times and overshoot performance), at least assuming from this review... Very high input lag at fixed 60 Hz is also present in the VG259QM, unfortunately (according to RTINGS).

If what they measured is correct then it's nowhere near ready for 280hz. I was 90% ready to pull the trigger on VG259QM before the review,
now just gonna have to wait and see what Benq brings out in September.
I'm still sitting on my trusty xl2411z (210hz OC) so pretty much anything would be an upgrade for me, yet I got burned once with a VA and I don't want it to happen again...

Well, if we look at the raw measurements from RTINGS for VG259QM, it indeed seems to be not ready for 280 Hz, as the refresh rate compliance seems to be rather poor:

Image

However, RTINGS also state in their review that motion is extremely clear and there is almost no blur at all in practice:

Image

TFT Central actually say something very similar in their VG279QM review:

Image

Hardware Unboxed also state basically the same thing in their review, saying that using 280 Hz, regardless of the imperfect refresh rate compliance, is in practice "a slight step up from 240 Hz":

Image

Now, note that these other popular and trustworthy reviewers, like the two I mentioned above, actually present their refresh rate compliance with "+1 ms" as well (as seen on the pictures), so I guess that one more added millisecond is an acceptable leeway that doesn't have much impact on blur perception in practice. If we add that +1 ms leeway to RTINGS measurements like other reviewers do, then we get 24 out of 30 rise/fall transitions they measured within refresh window, so it's 80% refresh rate compliance for rise/fall times (80% GtG). That's already much better result, and it's closer to what other reviewers measured.

Also, note that Hardware Unboxed and TFT Central measurements for VG279QM are similar to each other, and they are also close to what RTINGS measured for VG259QM, but RTINGS got better test results for VG279QM then the other two reviewers for some reason (in terms of response times, for example). Regardless, RTINGS say that these two monitors are almost identical, and they don't mention the performance to be better on VG279QM in their comparison:

Image

So, perhaps refresh rate compliance is not THAT super important after all, as it would seem that extremely high refresh rates already alter perceived motion blur much enough to make movement look clear even if refresh rate compliance is not perfect, and from what I've seen, even most popular/the best TN panels don't achieve 100% refresh rate compliance. I don't think any LCD monitor does, actually, not without the added +1 ms leeway.

MAJOR update. 8/27/2020 (lenovo legion y25-25 and pixio px5 hayabusa 2 is included)

Best Motion Clarity at @960 pixel speed part 1

When a fast moving object crosses your screen for 2 seconds (the blurbuster UFO for example). The Samsung Odyssey G7 and the LG 27GN750-B are tied for #1. These are based on these criterias

1. Least amount of motion artifacts
2. least amount of ghosting/inverse ghosting
3. sharp image on the fast moving object
4. Resolution does come into consideration; however, motion clarity is Above resolution


Image

#1. Samsung Odyssey G7

To my surprise the Odyssey G7 gave the most buttery smooth gameplay at 960 pixel speed. Outside of deep blacks, the response times are very good and black level smearing is very feint at 960 pixel speed. Unlike the AU Optronics monitors with pixel inversion artifacts, the odyssey g7 doesnt' have any of those artifacts. Same goes goes with the 170hz asus and LG panels, they have the least pixel inversion/pixel walk . Resolution is ALSO important. A better resolution means a clearer sharper image and aImage(backgrounds and non focused objects look more sharp). Black smear should be fairly FEINT and shouldn't get in the way of the buttery smooth gameplay.

#1 LG27GN750-B

When there's a fast moving object, the rocket league ball is crystal clear. NO pixel inversion artifacts, no screen door effect, no image retention, and although the resolution is LOWER than the Odyssey G7, the fast moving object doesn't leave any dark trails. So the trade off of 1080p resolution however the fast moving object has no motion artifacts.

Image


Image

Lenovo Legion y25-25 has horrible pixel inversion artifacts along with the HP Omen x27 to the point where you are able to actually see them. THE QC from lenovo is probably the reason why most retailers refuse to sell their products. The ASus VG279QM's pixel inversion artifacts aren't as bad as the HP Omen x27 or the Lenovo Legion y25-25 but it's very noticeable thanks to its horrible Pixel density. The terrible colors, bad color uniformity(whites look yellowish, blacks look gold) amplify it. Although it's a notch above my 16 yr old Sanyo 720 HDTV. 720p absolutely sucks and there are motion artifacts every where.

QUicky story


how did i end up reviewing the Sanyo 720p TV? Because at the time, i was losing pretty much every game in smash ultimate due to how bad the input lag was at 60hz on the Asus VG279QM. It was so bad, i had to BOOT THAT MONITOR OUT and i busted out my 16 yr old 720p Sanyo HDTV. And wow, it had WAY less input lag than the Asus VG279QM, and i was able to win normally again.

part 2 coming up

Part 2 Best OVERALL Motion Clarity.

The criteria at 1920 pixel speed is different. Almost every thing is fair game (pixel inversion artifacts, MPRT, response times, black smear, overshoot, FLICKER, microstutter, etcetc).

(click to enlarge)

Image

1920 pixel speed in my opinion is the ULTIMATE test to determine which monitor has the best overall motion clarity. When a fast moving object moves across your screen for ONE second, that's how fast 1920 pixel speed is. This separates the real deal from the pretenders. Very fast games such as(CSGO, COD, DOTA, Rainbow 6 siege, apex legend, Rocket league, Overwatch, Doom, fortnite (especially flick shots) etc. Although resolution may matter at slower games, resolution is inconsequential when the fast moving object is going fast. The only thing that matter at this point is response times & MPRT.

960 pixel speed vs 1920 pixel speed. (in rocket league standards, 960 pixel speed is relatively slow)

phpBB [video]


phpBB [video]


Monitors that failed the 1920 pixel speed test.

1. Any TN monitor i've tested failed. Got my hands on the Nitro XF252Q at a major discount and the pixel dance(pixel inversion artifacts) became UNBEARABLE. Also, it's 7% overshoot at 960 pixel speed become 40% overshoot at 1920 pixel speed. Unfortunately with TN, all of them(at least the ones i tested) have VERY obvious pixel walk especially if you are sitting too close to your monitor or you are playing a very fast moving video game. Response times only MATTER if there's no OVERSHOOT involved. In my opinion, If there's overshoot, it's essentially unplayable and should NOT COUNT as an actual response time(unless you play slow video games).

2. Any monitor with overshoot i've tested failed. Even at 1% overshoot, it will look like 40% overshoot(also the inverse ghosting corona becomes MUCH MUCH BRIGHTER as well) if the fast moving object goes faster than 960 pixel speed. Not only is this annoying....but i saw myself reacting to the sudden BRIGHTNESS of a moving object or reacting to its inverse ghoting corona more so than the actual moving object. Ghosting/pixel smear is MUCH MUCH less obvious at high refresh rates(thanks to MPRT) than inverse ghosting coronas. .

Ghosting vs inverse ghosting vs black level smearing

From my IN PRACTICE tests. Slight ghosting is more favorable than slight overshoot because if a fast moving object travels across your screen, the OVERSHOOT(bright trails behind moving objects) become very obvious whereas ghosting just makes the fast moving object less sharp(however, thanks to MPRT from high refresh rate, this is LESS OBVIOUS). Asymmetrical blur from ghosting is also VERY difficult to spot even on my in practice tests; however, INVERSE GHOSTING CORONAS even at 1% is VERY VERY VERY easy to spot. And it isn't just fast moving objects; whenever you move, the FLOORS/Backgrounds will show obvious color shift. The only thing more annoying than INVERSE GHOSTING CORONAS is Black level smearing. Black smear is way more obvious than overshoot because with overshoot, you HAVE to be at a specific angle to see it, but with black smear, it's EVERY WHERE since blacks are a dominant color.

3. ANY monitor that isn't at least 240hz refresh rate failed. Persistence and motion blur become more apparent if the pixel speed is above 960 pixels. Thus, MPRT is VERY important since better MPRT and less persistence mean Less motion blur and better eye tracking on that fast moving object. 240hz refresh has a -4 persistence rating which is WAY better than 144hz. The gist of it is this, the higher the refresh rate, the less motion blur there is. g2g response times is more responsible for asymmetrical blur(trailing motion artifacts) and not actual motion blur like MPRT. A 0.1 g2g OLED monitor will have more MOTION BLUR than the Acer Nitro XV273X, the slowest 240hz IPS monitor due to higher refresh rate (higher refersh rate=less persistence, less motion blur, less input lag, etc)

why is the samsung odyssey dead last? Because black level smearing contributes most to the blur that i've experienced. It's much much worse than overshoot. In every video game that i've played, there's OBVIOUS black level smearing. This is on OD Locked Adaptive sync on.

The odyssey G7 being 2nd to last was probably the easiest decision i've ever made . I don't care if RTINGS, TFTCENTRAL, etc say otherwise. The criteria of my review is based off strictlyCOMPETITIVE GAMING and motion clarity hold the MOST importance.

I have unequivocal evidence of black level smearing. To people who claim there's "no black level smearing, samsung fixed it" is absolutely BSing because i clearly see it. My guess is, their point of reference is extremely limited and they think those black smear motion artifacts is "part of the game". For me, i was ABLE to see it quite easily. I have a TON of evidence proving it.

QUADRUPLE CROSSTALK. i KID YOU NOT. FOUR dbl images.

RTings claims Adaptive sync off OD "faster" is optimal. I beg to differ. The rocket league ball looks like Ms Pacman. With black smear and inverse ghosting coronas following it at the SAME TIME. (keep in mind, the microstutters if adaptive sync is OFF will make FLICKERING a god send). The odyssey G7 is NOT a native g-sync monitor. The scaler has a scan rate of native 1/240. If you aren't getting 240hz FPS and intend to turn g-sync/adaptive sync OFF, do NOT BUY THE MONITOR. The microstuttering and inverse ghosting was so annoying that i almost threw up just by playing.

Image

Why is the ASUS TUF VG279QM and HP Omen x27 among the worst motion clarity? it has less to do with motion clarity of a fast moving object, but its SURROUNDING artifacts called Pixel inversion artifacts. The VG279QM has the most OBVIOUS looking pixel inversion artifacts. thanks to 1080p resolution will make the pixel walk 100x more obvious due to low PPI.

Image

Image

I don't have photos of the Omen x27 but i assure you, the PIXEL INVERSION artifacts are like the vg279QM but on STEROIDS. I was able to EASILY see it.

This is my #1 ranked best motion clarity monitor and the monitor that I AM MAINING for competitive gaming. Dell Alienware AW2521HFL. The most buttery smooth gameplay i've ever experienced.

Image

Overall, evidence is evidence. That guy in this topic who's claiming that i'm "posting on emotion" is out of touch with reality because i base EVERY THING OFF evidence and tests. (made evident with the excessive amount of photos i put up). i also post from a Point of VIEW of the consumer. (the target demographic such as competitive gamers). Which means, i can care less about "viewing angles" "color uniformity" "ergonomics". My reviews are STRICTLY in the context of competitive gaming.

Part 3 coming up!

Best overall motion clarity with BFI is turned on


let the CROSSTALK BEGIN!

Best Motion clarity Part 3 Backlight Strobing, MBR, AMB, etc. Unlike the other 2 tests, i'm basing this strictly on UFO/in practice as a 50/50 split.

Crosstalk aggression results+motion artifacts that come with it GRAPH

Image

PUREXP has slightly less strobe crosstalk at 240hz than the MSI MAg251RX, VG279QM. but is similar in crosstalk to the VG259QM and Nitro xv273x. But at 120hz, it has very little crosstalk(it had the least amount of crosstalk that i've ever experienced) and is among the best motion clarity i've ever experienced. THE XG270 viewsonic was my first 240hz IPS monitor and i wished they made a 24.5" version since 27" 1080p is not my cup of tea.

The Acer Nitro XV273X backlight strobing(VRB) is Very underrated. The crosstalk is decent(slightly less than the msi mag251rx)

The worst is the viewsonic elite xg270qg ULMB. The red phosphur was the major deal breaker. It's very dangerous to play on (at least from my perspective) especially to people who are susceptible to certain colors such as red.

Image
Image
Image

2nd WORST is The samsung odyssey G7 MBR is essentially USELESS and should be turned off at all times. The crosstalk is unacceptable and the but the amount of black level smearing, overshoot, & MICROSTUTTERS make it unplayable. The Microstutter was so bad, everything was BLURRY on the screen. I have one image going 1 way, the other image going the other. As a matter of fact, when i turned on MBR, the microstuterring became 100x more obvious. lastly, at 240hz 1440p resolution, unless you can keep the Framerate at exactly 240hz at ALL TIMES, the microstutter will be EXTREMELY obvious to the point where it's basically unplayable(at least to me).

Quadtruple crosstalk(this was when my FPS was under 200hz). The only other monitor that is capable of quadtruple crosstalk is the Asus VG279QM

Odyssey G7 quad crosstalk(Under 200hz framerate)
Image



Asus VG279QM quadtruple crosstalk(under 200hz framerate)
Image

it's impossible to keep 240hz FPS at all times on the odyssey g7 because there is no GPU+CPU technology that can have 240hz FPS at 1440p resolution on AAA titles. i also 100% doubt the RTX 3090 will be powerful enough to have 240hz at 1440p resolution on AAA games. on low graphical demanding games, you can but i seriously doubt anyone would buy a $800 monitor to play "low graphical demanding games". essentially 1440p 240hz is probably another 6-7 yrs away(RTX 5080 ti) and by then, there will be NEWER monitors better than the oddysey g7 with HDMI 2.1. Thus the "future proof" argument is absolutely BS. The only thing that matter is NOW.

The best is the PUREXP from the viewsonic elite xg270, ELMB-SYNC from the VG259QM, and ULMB from the Acer Predator XB273x

And lastly, the pathetic Asus TUF VG279QM in practice(along with its pixel inversion artifacts). that's a VERY very strong dbl image(crosstalk), surprised it didn't reach a triple image.

tldr;lrl

Fun fact! the viewsonic elite monitors ranked #1(ELITE XG270) and ranked dead last(ELITE XG270QG) when it comes to motion blur reduction technology based off my criteria and results.

viewsonic xg270 the crosstalk is near impossible to see in practice. it took me nearly an HOUR to finally find that tiny crosstalk) photo of it. Whereas Viewsonic xg270qg nano ips has the worst motion clarity w/ anti motion blur technology thanks to its red phosphor.

Coming up next. the Asus TUF VG259QM vs Asus TUF VG279QM vs MSI MAG251RX reviews The ultimate showdown

the real Samsung Odyssey G7 review Part 3 review. I'm going to bring out EXTREME evidence and VALID points to prove why the odyssey g7 deserves a 1/10 rating REGARDLESS of what those "positive reviews" those review websites gave it. One thing you can't BS is the blurbuster UFO ghosting tests. I'm going to bust the blur once and for all,

The 27GN750-B is my favourite 240hz so far, should be getting the Alienware next week to compare, on paper it has lower response time and input lag so it should be interesting, also the VRR overdrive seems neat but at the same time it seems the 3 settings while it's on doesn't change the ms speed? Some reviews all 3 overdrives using Freesync the UFO looks the same. Not sure if any test tested all 3 with it on to see if it's actually a lower ms though. But as long as it's clear that's fine.

I like it more, I returned my MAG already. Both at 240hz and their best OD they seem pretty much the same but on games that I get around 130-200 fps I feel the OD settings on the LG look better to my eye. BFI on the MAG was too dark for my liking in the games I usually play, LG has no BFI so not a big loss. Next I'll compare the LG to the Alienware then to the Acer Predator then I'm done with monitors for a while lol
