BenQ Zowie DyAC concern
Posted: 04 May 2020, 04:24
Hi
I would like to ask you something about Dynamic Accuracy motion blur reduction technology from BenQ Zowie.
For a word of introduction: a few weeks ago I purchased a new display, Acer Predator XB271HU, it's an IPS panel with 165 Hz refresh rate and native G-SYNC support. Unfortunately, I am quite disappointed with this display. I found G-SYNC to be pretty much redundant (I don't really notice any difference in AAA games, and for my competitive play it's useless), also the display suffers from noticeable ghosting, even on Normal overdrive setting, while Extreme setting would produce insane overshoot error and inverse ghosting. Image is also still quite blurry in motion, I guess the response time is not that great here. Not to mention horrible backlight bleed on bottom right corner
I decided to try some other display to further improve my competitive play, I am a highly ranked former CS 1.6/CS:GO player. I want to give an extremely speedy display with 240 Hz refresh rate a go, such as BenQ Zowie XL2546, which also happens to have that DyAc thingy. From presentations I've seen, it drastically reduces blur and ghosting, that annoying trailing effect behind rapidly moving objects.
So, first of all, is there anyone who experienced/tested DyAc and can share some impressions? Is it worth it? Is it as good as some say? I've seen some very positive reviews on DyAc, but also some less enthusiastic opinions. XL2546 is a quite costly display for just a 1080p TN panel, especially comparing to XL2540 which is a lot cheaper, where the main difference between them is DyAc, so it is a concern.
Secondly, does DyAc work outside of monitor's refresh rate, so I won't have to enable any FPS cap (which is no good for CS:GO) ? On the other hand, is it affected by going below the refresh rate? Most of the time I will probably be around 200-400+ FPS in CS:GO, so is that any problem for this technology? I don't really know much about blur reduction technologies, so I'm asking away.
Lastly, I see that DyAc actually disables flicker-free function. Is that any concern? I don't think I've ever seen a display without flicker-free thing.
I will appreciate your help!
