Good thing about this website is that the UFO testes generally don't lie. As long as saturation, temperature, and certain levels of brightness and a straight line, that's great way to tell how fast your monitor is.
Hey RLCScontender, so is the Acer Predator XB273X still the thing and the king?
It finally came to Poland, I ordered one already. From what I've seen here, XB273X has extremely good GtG response times, averaging at 2.6 ms, as seen on your picture, and little to none input lag, assuming from your previous posts, as well as well calibrated G-SYNC module. So, is this
the best 240 Hz IPS monitor in terms of input lag, response times and motion clarity? Predator XB273X will also be cool for console gaming due to very low input lag, right?
I am only interested in monitors with G-SYNC module, not just G-SYNC Compatible, so I gave up on ASUS TUF VG279QM, especially because of its insane input lag at 60 Hz.
it's actually
2.54ms g2g, 2.6ms is just a "round up" because i'm too lazy to add another digit.
it's faster than any IPS monitor and faster than any VA monitor. It's faster than 90% of TN; however, accross the refresh rate range, the g2g response times does NOT go down, and the overshoot remain feint.
hardware unboxed claims
2.8ms g2g for the samsung odyssey g7. I measured it and it' 4.77ms g2g, even slower than the Nano IPS monitors.
For the sake of argument though, even if the odyssesy g7 was 2.8ms g2g, the acer predator xb273x at 2.54ms g2g is
STILL faster
and not just at 240hz. it's also the fastest IPS monitor at 200hz, 144hz, 120hz, 100hz, and 60hz with VERY feint inverse ghosting. 2-3% overshoot error rate.
Remember, this is NATIVE G-Sync where the scaler is tuned by nvidia to make sure the performance accross the refresh rate range is optimal with as little inverse ghosting as possible.
the upcoming acer predator 1440p 240hz IPS monitor are NOT native g-sync, so i'm expecting MORE input lag and more ghosting/inverse ghosting. Non-native g-sync monitors are almost/always slower than native g-sync. The main reason is because of variable overdrive. Native g-sync has variable overdrive so each refresh rate has the fastest response times with as little inverse ghosting possible.
the predator x25 360hz monitor is just a 240hz monitor overclockable top 360hz, the chances of it being FASTER at 240-hz against the predator xb273x is
extremely slim because the AUO fast IPS AHVA 27" monitors have a much better headroom when it comes to actual response times.
oh and here's an updated UFO
best and fastest IPS monitors
best and fastest 1440p ips monitors
unfortunately, i have the MSI MAG251RX as being better than the acer predator xb273 x. Although the response times and input lag are better on the predator xb273x, its really not by much. If you factor in 240hz backlight strobing, the msi 251rx is clearer than the 240hz acer predator. Also it will have zero latency option in the upcoming update. The colors and contrast ratios are better for the msi.
When it comes to head to head competitively, the
msi mag251rx will smash the predator because the retinal focal point movement for 27" 1080p is MUCH MORE than 24.5" 1080p. Which means the person using the
27" predator will have way more retinal eye tracking than a person using the msi mag251rx. The only way to even out the odds is if the person sits 40-50 inches away from the screen. So if a person using the acer predator xb273x
sat 45" away from the monitor, then the msi mag251rx user WILL be in big trouble. But lets be real, who really sets that far away?(other than myself LOL)
I can see pretty much of inverse ghosting in brighter transitions (fade, pale halos) on Normal overdrive, to the level that it makes it distracting in CS:GO. In Blur Busters UFO test I can clearly see inverse ghosting (pale halos) as well, best visible in brighter transitions. It also has big backlight bleed, especially in bottom left corner, and HORRIBLE colour shift/uneven backlight from the left side of the screen, all the way vertically, from top to bottom, a few centimetres to the right, so everything on some portion of the left side of the screen appears bluish/darker... That's the worst colour defect on a monitor I have ever seen. What's more, a little bit of top right corner of the XB273 X appears grayish/dim. My previous display, Acer Predator XB271HU, also had much of a problem with uniformity, some areas of that monitor were warmer, orangish. I actually got three replacements of XB271HU, and returned them all because of terrible panel uniformity and ghosting (on Normal overdrive, bluish halos). I'm starting to think that Acer just sucks.
