ViewSonic's PureXP vs ULMB.
Posted: 17 May 2022, 09:14
I have been following the website since before it got redesigned in 2017. I loved that finally someone knowledgable spends time researching motion blur reduction and sort of promoting higher refresh rate monitors and helping everyone use their monitors correctly.
In 2020 I bought ViewSonic XG270 as per the website as it suggested it as the only BlurBusters certified monitor at that time.
Now I am curious about switching to either 4K 27" or 4K 32" with a 240hz refresh rate. Here are a few questions of mine:
1. Are you (The Chief, BlurBusters) just not contacted by ViewSonic anymore to certify the monitors or their PureXP implementation is always certified by BlurBusters? Or exactly the opposite, all the new monitors with PureXP aren't certified (and are considered not removing motion blur well enough)?
2. Is there any comparison as to what is better: ULMB, PureXP, or any other motion blur reduction mechanisms?
3. Is PureXP on one monitor as good as PureXP on another (new) monitor? I have an XG270 and want to jump to a 32-inch 240hz monitor once it comes out. By looking at the trends (what doesn't of course say anything), I expect the 240hz variant to be announced either this year or early next year. If it is not going to be certified by BlurBusters, does it automatically mean it wouldn't pass the certification if asked? BlurBusters.com stopped updating the news page so I don't know how anything changes in the blur reduction and motion clarity in the newest monitors and don't really know what to expect.
Please help me buy my next monitor. I am coding and playing online games competitively, and I also just like high refresh-rate monitors in general and have liked them since the CRT time.
