PG27AQDP vs XL2586X

Ask about motion blur reduction in gaming monitors. Includes ULMB (Ultra Low Motion Blur), NVIDIA LightBoost, ASUS ELMB, BenQ/Zowie DyAc, ToastyX, black frame insertion (BFI), and now framerate-based motion blur reduction (framegen / LSS / etc).

No, my PC can handle 480 FPS constant, for the game I play, be it at 1080p or 1440p. And after I tried 480Hz OLED in 1440p, yes I do wish they made 540Hz TN 1440p. But 1080p is still ok, though. Also I am playing with native resolution to avoid pixel splitting.

Noone is questionning the fact that OLED have better refresh rate compliance, i.e. faster pixel transitions, by a huge margin. Nonetheless, 480Hz OLED still is slower than 2ms MPRT.

You mentioned OLED BFI. That would be game changing if OLED could use BFI to go lower than 2ms MPRT. But for now, that is not the case. So in that regard, MPRT, 480Hz OLED is inferior to 480Hz/540Hz TN, period. The better MPRT from TN thanks to strobing, is what makes the difference because yeah, everything else the 480Hz OLED makes it better.

I wish the PG27AQDP had been better than the PG248QP, but it wasn't the case and consequently, I went back to the PG248QP. I had no reason to be biased toward keeping the PG248QP, ofc I wanted my monitor upgrade to be an actual upgrade, but it turned out not to be exactly the case, probably because my use case is different to yours. I have tried it for a whole week during which my performance got worse, due to lack of motion clarity in key actions. As I already described it, with PG27AQDP I had to guess my shots instead of shooting on the moving enemy I would clearly see if using PG248QP.
P̶G̶2̶7̶A̶Q̶D̶P̶ >> 480Hz OLED (1440p)
PG248QP >> 540Hz TN w/ strobing
XL2566K >> 360 Hz TN w/ strobing
XV252Q F >> 390Hz IPS w/ strobing
PG259QN >> 360Hz IPS
XL2546K >> 240Hz TN w/ strobing
Y27gq-25 >> 240Hz TN (1440p)
AG251FZ >> 240Hz TN
LaCie Electron 22 Blue IV >> high-end CRT (140kHz horizontal)

with the asus pg24aqp, you can use the ulmb2 hack using CRU, to make any refresh rate with ulmb work, you just have to disable overclocking, and make sure total pixel clock of say 250hz is 970. then the monitor thinks its 360hz, but isnt, but brightness is reduced more than 360hz/540hz, but you can gain it back by running HDR in windows 11 and calibrating the display using microsoft hdr app in windows store, also adjust the strobing to like +18/+20 ( i cant remember) to make the UFO clearer at 250hz

Hi MSIFanboy, where did you get this information?

I would like to kmow if I can use the 24.5" simulated mode on the PG27AQDP with a 2304x1440p resolution without being locked to 120hz. Currently if I try to use 24.5" mode i have to use the default resolution of 2368x1332 or any 1080p res to have 480hz available, other resolutions like 2304x1440 or even 2560x1440 is limited to a max refresh of 120hz.
