asus vg248qe and couple (lightboost) questions
Posted: 10 Jan 2019, 01:33
Hello!
so I have the asus vg248qe since like 2013 and still very happy with it, running it in lightboost 10% mode @ 120 hz on a gtx 1060 and love my monitor basically ! but have now couple questions,
1. I play a lot of fortnite and in this game i'm playing vsync OFF , ingame framelimit 120 fps, 120 hz lightboost 10%, I can have 120 fps like 95% of the time that I am playing, anyway I wonder how much lower inputlag in actual numbers/milliseconds would it be if I instead play NO lightboost, 144 hz and 144 fps limit ingame? (just curious because I am so used to the zero-blur with strobing that its impossible to play without it, atleast for the moment its how I feel, but would still like to know !)
2. Is there anything I could potentially do to lower inputlag further while keeping lightboost ON with this monitor ? some of that new RTSS scan sync trick or similar? and what would the difference be in that case?
3. in near future or future I am interested in buying a newer 240 hz monitor with Gsync and ULMB to have more options, how much difference in inputlag and picture quality/smoothness/etc is it between my current monitor on 120 hz/120 fps/10% lightboost vs some new monitor and for example these settings:
144 hz/144fps/ULMB on 10%
180 hz 180 fps/ULMB on 10% (is this the sweet-spot for high-hz ulmb?)
240 hz 240 fps/ULMB on 10% (is it possible to eliminate crosstalk at this hz with ulmb or atleast make it similar to what i'm experiencing now with my asus vg248qe 120hz/120fps/10% lightboost?)
because I was reading about these new monitors and as far as I can see people say around 144/180 hz is sweet spot for ulmb before crosstalk gets out of hand, is that true or can you get 240hz ulmb that looks good? (ofcourse we will presume a solid 144/180/240 fps in these 3 examples)
I think that's all questions, maybe one last question is this:
4.what is the consensus "best" competitive or atleast guaranteed lowest inputlag 240hz monitor there is to buy today? because my monitor is still popular and being sold today 6 years later because of how low lag it has, as far as I can tell anyway from googling on the subject, basically I want to buy eventually the lowest lag 240hz monitor but want the same-or lower input lag than my current monitor (obviously going to 240 hz or 144-240 strobed will be lower lag than 120hz but the panel itself might be higher response time is my "fear" so to speak?
Puh, hope that makes any sense and very appreciate any feedback and answers to my questions, any help appreciated!
cheers,
Alexander
