Asus PG259QN 360hz Monitor

UFO better on TN, on these color transitions is much more fast than IPS. But with black text scroll on white background better IPS, TN show excesive overshot (blue halo) from black to white, is slow in this transition. But white to black is extremely fast. TN times have these big "jumps".

The average response time of last generation TN Vs IPS is more close than never, if are compared both with overdrive at level than not cause any overshot/undershot, fair "artifacts free" raw speed comparison, but i think the issue with TN response time is the range size.

TN can do 1ms in some 100% GtG transitions, when end in black mainly, but others 100% transitions can take up to 20ms, like show Rtings review of XL2540, even with overdrive ! See the XL2546S blue halo at 240 FPS/Hz, is very long ! Several 4.16ms frames of GtG trail, fits aproximately the measurement of Rtings, there are some GtG transitions excesively slow on TN, very far from the 0.5ms brands show in marketing campaing.

IPS have higher min, and lower max. Average is slower than TN, but times are more compesated. In the scroll test can be see the beneficts of this short range, is enought fast in both black->white and white->black, result in more clear text scroll.

None win the other in all test, is user choice. For fast paced gaming, TN seems the correct choice, but if user want also the monitor for general use, IPS has better text scroll, color, and viewing angles.

I wonder why no one tests the variable overdrive that Gsync has, shouldn't it do the best job at OD setting? I figure Nvidia or Asus whoever tunes it would make it as good as it gets?
Unless Variable Overdrive works even with Gsync off? but then what's the point of the 3 OD settings

I readed tft centrals review,you can stick with 1 overdrive setting for whole refresh rate range,g2g average is 35% faster then VG279QM.

Looking forward to reading that review, sounds similar to Hardware Unboxed review, 1 OD setting works good, lowest response time they tested and even lowest input delay, sounds like a winner.

Thx ! They talk about backlight bleeding ?

Are nedded good bezels, and take care with the pressure in panel edges, like in professional IPS monitors for photograpy. Is a know issue on recent high frecuency IPS monitors. Monitors with the same panel have different levels of BB, due to these differences in bezels build. User touch bezel where there are BB and increase or decrease the effecct, this is not serious ! we need end with this, and play dark games with IPS with quality. MiniLED local dimming can't solve this, because only is off with pure black, dark colors have backlight on like regular monitors.

Has good black uniformity ? Black background with white object in center screen, halos ?

TFT centrals review say basically same what they say at HW unboxed.Luminance uniformity on tested unit was maybe little better then vg279qm,I think it will not be something special,this is just faster version of previous 240Hz panels nothing better in image quality.They said it came well calibrated out of factory.

Thx, i also saw Hardware Unboxed review, color calibration is amazing, but none word about backlight bleeding, the well know weak point of non professional IPS, this made me suspect. TFTCentral usually includes baclight bleeding image, with dark room and monitor showing fullscreen black. Is included in this review ?

[karel88l]

They said : "There was no noticeable backlight bleed or leakage on our sample which was great news".

From the picture it looks better then vg279qm and few others monitors I watched.

Seems decent backlight bleeding care at 120 nits. Lets hope people also receive samples with the same quality.

Luminance uniformity decrease at the left side. I see this same issue in many gaming IPS monitors. The more to the edge, more accelerated drop. Is a excesive drop in a small space. The truth is that it already smells, they should fix it, is not a toy, is a high end monitor. At high price is spected also high quality control, with minimal deviations, more than 20% is to much.

Overall very good gaming LCD monitor. But capped ULMB is a fatal error in my opinion. With GSync module doing precise dinamic overdrive, they just need one firmware table with strobe tuning settings for each frequency, and unlock 60-360 range, could have been extraordinary. Only two frequencies ? Come on, is a joke ? Can't replace the CRT flexibility, that have high quality motion smoothness at all frequency range. I had many hopes on this monitor, but no bucks from me. Praying for BlurBusters Approved 360Hz. Save us from this strobing decadence !
