    I played on XL2546 since two years, I really love the DyAC+ and the huge brightness of this screen even with DyAc+ on. Yesterday I received my VG27AQN and played with it all the evening on Warzone 2 with arround 200 fps. It was crazy good BUT I think ULMB 2.0 make the screen not bright enough FOR ME. Today, I tried without ULMB 2.0 and my GOD with OD on normal AND HOW MY GOD IT S BEAUTIFUL AND BRIGHT !!!! Huge games with immersive sensations ! 1440 IPS is so beautiful !!! I did not realise any blur problems without ULMB 2.0 THIS SCREEN with top end PC is SOOO GOOOD, I AM GONNA PLAY WAY TOO MUCH AND LOSE MY JOB 🤣🤣🤣😘

      It depends on your gaming type. If you are focused on HDR gaming, or want an ultra wide field of view, or have a system that would more comfortably manage 175Hz and allow you to push image detail, then the Samsung would be better. If you are playing more competitive games, are focused on the absolute best motion clarity, can support the much higher frame rates, and want top end features like ULMB and Reflex, then the Asus will be better

      @omikurita that’s because it’s strobing the backlight on and off and it impacts brightness. Only options would be to turn brightness up higher, and set ULMB pulse width at 100. Only run that mode for gaming though, not for desktop/other uses

  • @SB-mr2nk
    @SB-mr2nk Před rokem +2

    The pulse width setting does nothing for motion clarity at 360hz. 10% looks identical to 100% because the phase timing is way too early in the refresh cycle. It cuts the tail end off of the pulse but it's irrelevant because all of the crosstalk visible is coming from the previous frame. It literally does nothing at 360hz. At 240hz it does give a small improvement at the top of the screen because the strobe phase is better tuned(you can see improvement up to 70%), but at 360hz the improvement is nil. In fact the strobe phase is so bad the bottom of the display is showing the prior frame and only the very faint image of the current frame that's being shown across the rest of the display. If the pulse width setting reduced the flash duration from the start as well as the end then it would help a lot, but the start point remains fixed regardless of what you do.
    Even so, no matter what pulse width setting is used, it's too early even at full length to capture the current frame at the bottom of the screen whist the top of the display is perfectly clear. They need to delay the flash so that the bottom of the screen captures at least some of the current frame and the top of the screen has some crosstalk from the next frame and make the pulse width shorten the flash from both the start and end of the flash.

    Hey i need you help. First thanks of all, thanks for all the videos! i really like you stuff. I play on high level Call of Duty. Going to Pros soon. Should i buy the BenQ Zowie XL255k or the ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQN? I really appreciate it when you text back! Take care!👍🏽

      Very tough call and both excellent gaming screens. Asus would give you the option to play at 1440p as well as use the scaling mode if you wanted only 1080p. Also superior picture quality thanks to IPS panel. Both are very good, personally I’d go for the more versatile Asus model I think

      @@tftcentral The ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQN has the new update with ULMB 2. So it can handle over 360 Hz right? One monitor you featured that I also really like is the ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDM has an even better picture, but you can't overclock it above 360 ​​hz?
      i want to decide between one of them.
      picture is also very important to me but of course I need the best advantages for first person shooter.
      I need your choice man!!🙏🏻

      It’s important to understand what ULMB2 is and what it offers. It doesn’t allow any higher refresh rate than the supported 360Hz or any overclock.
      It’s a blur reduction mode that can help give the visual appearance equivalent to a hypothetical 1440Hz display. The actual refresh rate, and therefore your frame rate support doesn’t change though. I’d recommend watching this for more info

      The OLED model is also a great screen with a great picture and far better support for HDR gaming. But if you’re mainly focused on competitive gaming then the PG27AQN is probably the better suited
