No raising DPC latency levels as with LG? Just curious. Post a default 240hz CRU timings pls, and did you tried increasing VT yet?A Solid lad wrote: 2, Finally, this 27" screen is as responsive, as the aw2518Hf, which I found to be the most responsive, out of all the 240hz screens I've tried. (Yes it felt snappier than even the aw2518H, it's g-sync counterpart)
Btw, I still highly doubt that one-digit raise in average DPC latency may somehow affect monitor's responsiveness. Also because LG has larger VBI and high dotclock headroom (need to be checked on Benq though). And thus, faster frames scanout should theoretically improve real world scenarios' responsiveness, not decrease it.
Yes, scrolling text becomes thicker on LG on fastest OD, thats doesnt bother me much, but that effect on LG is massively reduced if you switch OD to fast or normal. Interesting, how different these monitors behave even using the same panel and (probably) scaler.A Solid lad wrote: 3, Also finally, onscreen motion on a 27" 240hz, is not smeary anymore... on the LG 27GK750, it was. (Can't evaluate the xf270ha fairly, as it had frameskipping)
I'm sorry k2viper, but you're probably only happy with that monitor, because you haven't tried any other 240hz screen.
Scrolling through text is the best I've seen on any monitor to date. Using an AMA setting of High, text won't become thicker or thinner (as it happened on all the LG and ACER 27" screens I've tried) when scrolling, also...
and this is a first, there doesn't seem to be any visible coronas appearing behind the letters! (Like it happened on all other high refresh rate LCDs I've tried, when having even the lowest overdrive setting enabled...)
The olny thing I get is a bit of blurryness when I try to scroll this essay I just wrote (lol) ...let me try turning on strobing for a sec...
So, now with Blur reduction turned on, with "Intesity" set to 1 (for max brightness) and "Area" set to 10 (because I can't seem to get a noticeable improvement in regards to crosstalk by changing it... so I'm just leaving it on default cos too lazy to tinker further),
Scrolled text is even clearer with less blur! The characters are still not getting thicker or thinner. The only downside is, that they seem a bit stuttery... I assume that is either a result of crosstalk or black frame insertion itself.
To conclude this section, I think the scrolling test demonstrates pretty nicely, why I didn't like the LG 27GK750... just like text, everything else ingame just looked different, when it was in motion.
Can't remember wheter text on that monitor got thicker or thinner when in motion...but one of the two things took place, which was REALLY distracting for me...
The thing is, this effect can't be picked up on the moving UFO tests...on those tests, the LG seems to be a good performer, and only now, while writing this pseudo-review, did I come to the realization that I actually have a way of showing you (the text scroll test) what I mean when I say the motion on the LG 27GK750 look grainy in comparison to screens like the Dell aw2518Hf, aw2518H, Benq xl2411z and xl2740.
Btw, how much is the Benq? Here in Russla, XL2740 is like 170USD more then LG.
What do you mean saying "more responsive strobing"? I see you want to say that strobing of XL2740 is someway better then 1ms MBR of LG, but in which way? At this moment, my own research made me confident that exact models 27GK750F-B and XL2546 are using identical strobe timings (area+intensity). Its highly likely that XL2740 uses the same strobe timings too (presumably, the same scaler and same "default" strobe timings for all of these). So I'm struggling to see how these can be different strobing-wise.A Solid lad wrote: Yes, it feels more responsive than LG's 1ms strobing on the 27GK750... but that applies to sample-and-hold operation as well.
If strobing is this good without DyAc, I can't imagine how much brighter and more responsive that has to be on the xl2546... it may even have less crosstalk? (Somebody who has tried that monitor should clarify)
Btw did you tried to adjust strobing via Blurbusters strobe utility? Does it really adjust something and reduce crosstalk at full 240hz?
