Thanks mate, appreciate the reply and detail. So for games like Apex or The Finals etc. do you think a Zowie Dyac2 monitor running at a fixed refresh is a much better choice for motion clarity?kyube wrote: ↑14 Apr 2026, 10:41viewtopic.php?p=123829#p123829

These two posts should clear up what I mean
tldr: For comp games (OW2, Valorant, CS2, Apex, The Finals, FN), it's simply redundant in today's market.
There are options which achieve much better clarity without the repercussions of the GSYNC+VSYNC+Reflex setup (which should be "optimal" use-case)
Fixed refresh rate strobing (DyAc2, ULMB1 & a few others) would give you:
- No compensation pulse nerfing MPRT / strobe 'on' period due to erratic frametime (which is unavoidable in majority of games)
- No additional / exacerbated eye-strain due to multi-pulse behavior
- No additional proc latency (depending on model) or less additional processing latency than Pulsar
- Much better clarity targets (<0,5ms is easy on select models at higher refresh rates)
VRR+PWM might be better on models employing DyDS 2.0 (e.g.: P245MS Pro), but no review data is out on it yet.
I'm very certain that the detriments of the Pulsar models (HDMI 2.0, compensation pulse nerfing MPRT & Nvidia GPU lock-in) don't exist on these Titan Army models.
In The Finals, for example, I can pretty much guarantee a locked 260fps at 1440p (around 330 at 1080p). In that instance, is Dyac2 a noticeable improvement over Pulsar? I personally haven't felt any additional eye-strain from Pulsar but I appreciate it can differ significantly from person to person.
Definitely agree that the lack of 'real' HDMI 2.1 is a frustrating point on these Pulsar monitors, especially considering the price.
Would you say ULMB2 at a fixed 240hz on these Pulsar monitors would help with both clarity and the processing latency? Again, I'm not overly sensitive to processing latency, I certainly haven't felt like the Pulsar monitor is slower than any other monitor I've used (swapping between 500hz QD OLED and Pulsar at the minute).
