Refresh rate matters, we all know that, but the real question is how much does it matter?
The widespread switch to 144hz was a revolutionary, landmark moment in esports culture, not to mention the gaming industry as a whole.And as refresh rates began to double and triple, people began to talk about seeing some diminishing returns.
But what if those returns weren't as diminishing as you think?
If you've used a 360 hertz monitor, you know it's a huge step up from 240. And ASUS have raised the bar even higher with a 540 hertz super monitor.
We built a computer strong enough to put it through the paces, and we tried to run Valorant, Overwatch and Counter-Strike 2 at the highest frame rates possible.
So how was it? And will pros switch to the fastest monitor on the market?

no i got a xg32uq
Imagine the feeling after switching from 60hz to 540hz they would probably ascend to heaven
As someone still on 60hz, i think i will do just that, and ill get back to you when i have ascended to heaven :D
@@HaLo-bro about to have the biggest eyegasm recorded in history
Record a reaction video!@@HaLo-
It felt like that for me when I got my 280hz monitor
everything was butter smooth and I actually started to get kills in valorant
went from a 1080p 60hz 3ms VA laptop to a 1080p 27inch 280hz 1ms IPS monitor and the difference was insane
like I went from bottom fragging getting 5 kills per game to at least to 15 kill plus games overnight
that is how insane of a difference monitor refresh rates were for me
it was even better when I got a 300hz 1440p monitor
even though the difference was small between a 280hz to 300hz
I can still see a noticeable difference in how I play
I now either 2nd place on my team or match mvp and I am making my way up to silver 1 today after on a losing streak for over a month
though I am not surprised if I go back to bronze because I only play once a day every few days
@@HaLo- just get a 1440p asus 360hz :D
I think the jump from 60-144hz was impressive because of the cost per unit at the time, 540hz for $800 seems like a bargain compared to how expensive the initial high refresh monitors were.
you forgot to include the price of hardware that can render 540hz
@@sbuuby ~2000$ pc can run any esport game at 500+ fps expect apex (300fps lock), cod (most i seen was 400fps with 300 1%) and halo (360 is most)
@@sbuuby not really, at the time you basically had 1080ti or bust
First 144 was $279 in 2013 (VG248QE). You wut m8?
@@sbuuby Not really. You just need a 7800x3d and a decent GPU like an rtx 4070. CPU prices are really good it is just GPU prices. A 4070 costs 500 usd so it ain't that bad for max fps possible. You can play CSGO, Fortnite, overwatch, league of legends easily but for games like COD, Apex and halo not so much 540hz gaming but 360hz is possible at 1080p. Fortnite is the only current gen game capable of easily reaching over one thousand FPS in a real game (Not consistently as you average around 700fps. ).
It is easier to run then minecraft! And next minute you turn up those graphics you get, Nanite, Lumen, Raytracing, DLSS etc. An rtx 4090 struggles to get a 60fps 1% low experience with settings maxed out at 4k! With DLSS you can of course expect better double the FPS then that but it is crazy that you can play at 1080p 240+fps on a gtx 1050 core i5 8600 set up!
60-120 > 144 is pretty huge.
120/144 > 240 makes you realize how much fast motion you've been missing in close quarters
240 > 360 removes a lot of residual motion blur of large objects.
360 > 540 makes fast moving text and smaller objects a lot more clear.
That's also likely coupled with a faster response time (GtG / color transition) from the monitor.
The reduced input latency is also another bonus. Overwatch 2 is already a game you can play at 540 hz pretty reliably on a high end PC.
It's going to be hard to sell 1000 hz in comparison but this is pretty nice as it is.
540 to 1000hz the cleanest tentacles por. I mean the cleanest smoothest gameplay at max sensitivity especially for vr tech
@@Cyb3rRust Well that's true. 1000 hz is needed for 500 hz in each eye
idk, when you consider that your eyes work based on light activating sensors I think we'll still see upgrades for many decades to come. even if our eye does happen to reach a limit where it literally can't perceive if a single frame flashed completely black, theoretically you should still be able to add light.
kinda hard to predict how stuff like that will interact with our biology, can you imagine fade blends but it's not a editing trick mashing two videos together but literally both images that your brain ends up blending together. or maybe it will just be visual mush and there will be zero point to going higher again who knows.
honestly I desperately hope tech keeps progressing at this speed and nothing terrible happens because if so we're in for some of the coolest experiences imaginable, like genuinely full VR high fidelity movies
Was expecting $1000. I remember paying $500 for a 120hz just a few years ago. Probably pick one of these up when they drop in price. 144hz to 240hz was much more noticeable than people led on. Can only imagine this one is insane.
Paid 400 for a 280hz 3 years ago. So about double the Hz for double the price 3 year layers.
But i guess prices will drop once more brands start using this panel.
I had a CRT monitor in 1999 that did 144hz at 1280x960. It was way better than any LCD I've seen to date (and I have a 360hz monitor)
Yep CRT is still king!
I still have mine. 1280x1024 @ 160hz. Its now sitting in my garage because everyone decided to kill analog outputs :*( Now I have the F048u 120hz OLED and im seriously considering trading to this monitor. As much as I love this screen for pretty much everything, its just too big for esport games like CS2.
@@SparkerR1987 Man, time to crack out that monitor and put it to use! Regretting selling mine! Was a 19" 1600 x 1200 and @ 1024 x 768 was 200Hz and I seriously regret it!
The 7800X3D is the best CPU for Counter-Strike 2 according to GamersNexus benchmarks. "Sparing no expense" and buying the most expensive thing doesn't mean it's always going to be the best for your use-case. Also, you need to use a command to uncap the framerate in Counter-Strike 2, otherwise it is capped by 400fps by default.
Many benchmarks show the 13900k+ pulling more frames than the 7800x3d in CS. Please stop making this into a fanboy war.
@@ThisIsExile91 there is also benchmarks that showing 7800x3d getting more frames than 14900. Either way even with 7800 x3d and 4090 not even highest settings dont get anywhere near 540 fps all the time, sure sometimes gets easily over 600fps but something like b site on overpass fps is under 400.
@@lartonki when you are holding a corner and standing still hitting 600fps - that is also important. You don't need to be at 540fps at all times to benefit from this monitor.
like anyone have more than 400 hz monitor .... lol i like how u all think if u have 900fps but 144hz monitor u will get some kinda boost from ingame fps..no u cant.. its all about how fast the monitor...
@@donroxitheoverthinker higher in-game fps ever so slightly lowers input delay, at the cost of visible screen tearing if the fps exceeds the monitor max refresh rate.

Imagine switching from 45-50Hz to 540Hz 💀
hey dimitri when you have been using the 360hz zowie monitor, did you notice any difference in size with this monitor?? 24.1 vs 24.5?
3:55 - That video was uploaded prior to ultra fast IPS panels being introduced. Later Optimum would go on to recommend the PG27AQN, a 360hz an ultra fast IPS panel.
The reason why optimum recommended 240 hz instead of 360hz is because at that time, the 360hz monitors didn't had good enough response times to keep up with the refresh rate and therefore ghosting appeared to the point that 360hz panels looked more blurry than fast response times 240hz panels. The Asus 540hz has definitely good enough response times for 540hz, the new Zowie 540hz actually doesn't. Sometimes it it fast enough but not all of the time like the Asus
You won't see the difference all the time, but whenever there is fast movement at 360HZ you can easily make out whats happening, while at lower refresh rate, there is too much interpolation and everything goes blurry..
The jump from 60 to 144 was astounding to me, I can't play at a 60Hz monitor now cause it feels laggy. What I did, and it's not esports related or anything, is I changed the resolution, so I have a 34'' Ultrawide at 144Hz and it's a beauty, so I would say there are even more option to go in the future, 240Hz at 1440p is a thing now, few monitors have it, but hey it's there!
As someone who picked up a 240hz 1440p monitor it's fucking incredible. Worth it if you have the money to spend in the area, if not 1080p or 1440p at lesser refresh late is perfectly adequate but still
@@TwinbornMist I mean really good 2k 144hz IPS monitors go for about $250 nowadays so they're really affordable now. Even 2k 240hz monitors are just a little bit above $300.
If you want a bigger upgrade than anything, it's OLED. The 1440p/240Hz/OLED monitors are the absolutely god-tier picks right now. Idk how it could get any better than this until GPUs can handle 4k at 240 consistently. The response time of OLED feels so good that anything else I use is a blurry mess.
@@sak-atWork This, yep. Also ultrawide for gaming, particularly competitive fps is detrimental in my experience. you'll need to stretch your res or the targets are simply too small (or its simply not supported). For other genres its great, provided you can handle the resolution (mine was 3440x1440, kind of rough to run without the latest and greatest)
I picked up a 1440p 240hz LG Ultragear OLED monitor and its by far the best decision in my life regarding gaming purchases.
@@TwinbornMist what made u choose 1440p over 4k. i kinda feel like 1440p is not for me. cause i like watching movies and all ..and 4k is needed. 1440p is gaming only kinda. or am i mistaken ?
There is something to be said about image quality too.
Im on an Alienware dwf. Love the HDR.
I guess we'll see if its good when monitors unboxed maxed a video
Got it too. Switched from a Odyssey G7 240hz
and the difference in image clarity at fast movements
is on par or even better on the Alienware despite the lower Hz.
This was already tested with Shroud before. YES, 360hz would feel smoother than 240hz. But, not too much. YES, there are dimishing returns happening everytime there is big improvements on things.
have used 240hz oled, ips at 170hz and now an acer nitro v2 at 390hz(360 when using multiple monitors with amd gpus it seems) and I still think CRT is king even when running at 85hz at 1280x1024 on my 17" samtron. Even witht the acer I get relegated to like lower mid tier after a run is done, with the crt I am always on top if not the very top. CRT owns every kind of modern tech right now and would love to see a comeback for us who wants fast monitors with ZERO input lag.
Nice add, didn’t know you also do product advertisment now?
I don't mind 900$ for that monitor when my BenQ XL2420G in 2014 was 650$. It was the first hybrid G Sync 144hz monitor on the market and was way way expensive. Still got it but retired it earlier this year.
Damn, still got a working XL2420Z here from release. Been doing duty as my second display these past few years since I made the switch to 1440p IPS and moved away from CSGO/esports-y stuff.
Been through 4 moves with me now, and still works near pefectly. Most reliable monitor I've owned since the CRT days.
How big a difference do you think it would be with the same exact setup, only a 4080 instead of a 4090? Would it still push 500+ frames?
Why did you blur the Monitor dude, nobody can see the refresh rate in a youtube Video
Got the same Ikea desk as you

how is it?
@@celzolsen8988 I returned it. Not worth the cost. Even with a 14900k no game actually stays locked at 540fps. Felt like I was wasting potential I paid for. 480hz OLED dropping later this year. Rather just keep the money so I can never look back at LCD
actually alianware made a 540hz monitor earlier. Sadly the pixel response times weren't constantly under 2ms so it wasn't really worth it compared to a 360hz. Also the reason why early 360hz monitors weren't useful
And it couldn't strobe past 360Hz, I was really excited for that panel but the issues just weren't worth it.
500hz not 540
@@christophernixon7926 That is correct and 500hz a lot of hz.
GREAT INTRO DEMITRI!!!!!! this one gave me a good chuckle!!!!!!🤣😂
That thing was a TN panel but it actually looks rly good and the ghosting is rly good
I went from 60 to 144 that was huge surprise how good it felt....and recently i picked new monitor and stepped up to 360 and it impressed me the same as going from 60 to 144hz. If you have good gaming PC to run these games above 360 go for it. I am not going back. I think the monitors 540hz will become affordable much quicker, however gaming PCs that can run consistent FPS above 540 are going to take some time to get there....i have a RTX4090 and play CS2 and i can tell you i can not run CS2 above 540FPS consistently.
wouldn't the oled 240hz still be faster than the 540hz tn ? because of the instant response time and 0.03 ms response
But did you manage to get 540 constant on cs2 with this setup?
thankyou for showing just how stupid I was playing on a 144 hz monitor but using 60 hz my whole life forgetting to change the setting
Come on man where's our faker video?
They probably had all their writers cooking for an hour plus content 😂 hopefully we'll get it next week
Hahaha 😅
stop glazin
here
They just uploaded it
Also OLED pixel response times make a huge difference
what about the size does it matter too?
I got the ASUS 27 inch IPS panel 280hz 1080p monitor used on Amazon for like $170. It's actually a 240hz, with an overclock setting that takes it up to 280hz. The anti flicker tech and the anti motion blur tech is good, overdrive settings good, IPS display so the colors are also good.
Still impossible to find it in stock anywhere
Way too many people don't realise that diminishing returns, means diminishing returns. Not, no returns.
Deminishing means less returns. Not non-existent returns😂
Imo while Im sure crazy refresh rates with the power backing it up would be amazing I'm not sure if its worth on its pros due to the lack of content ever reaching that height. Seeing as most content besides PC gaming would potentially benefit from this I'm sure putting a 60hz signal from one of the latest consoles or even retro consoles scaled would have undesired effects (and potentially worse latency than other monitors at lower refresh rates. My highest is an ultrawide 1440p 165hz and I think that'll be my limit for a long time.
It's meant for competitive titles where you can reach high FPS. It also lowers latency though when not gaming at that FPS because it presents the image faster. Even if you cap your frames at 250 on a 500hz monitor it will be lower latency than 250 fps at 250hz. You can use it for 60hz too if you make a custom resolution can keep the pixel clock high with large vertical totals, that removes the latency effect of running it at a lower refresh rate.
do they limit fps when playing online cause the advantages are getting crazy
Game publishers should make 800fps games with worse graphics. People who say there are diminishing returns either need a better gpu or they're just not use to it. Yet, the onus is on game publishers. Make the graphics worse for a more competitive and enjoyable experience.
I think another thing people don't always talk about is how slow some of these "fast gaming" monitors actually are on a pixel response level. There are lots of VA panels in particular out there with 16ms+ responses from black that cause terrible smearing and other dark colors also have very slow times as you pan around. This means black sections of the screen end up smearing all over the place at about 60hz, like phone lines against sky and stuff like that, and it doesn't matter how often the screen is actually refreshing, this pixel time is actually what makes things blurry a lot of the time and is often why these 300+ hz monitors just don't feel right. You aren't actually achieving that refresh rate on anything but a hardware reporting level. Once OLEDs with their 1ms pixel responses can do 240 hz regularly this will be the go to. Its not necessary to go any higher when there is no blur to combat. This is also part of why some people with perhaps a better IPS can feel a difference between 240 and 360, and to others it just doesn't feel right. Product by product there will be potentially a lot of hidden differences related to pixel responses from different colors. There is also another factor which is overdrive overshoot where manufacturers will cause inverted blacks by increasing voltage on the matrix to force faster color switching on a panel that can't actually do what's on the box, which still makes things very blurry and mess up colors a lot. Note that the GTG (grey to grey) times that manufacturers boast about for response times is actually a best case scenario for any panel and that's the reason they advertise it. Certain colors switching around can have vastly different response times than a 1ms GTG response.
My 120hz OLED already feels and looks way more smooth than my 240 lcd ever did as the lack of blur makes things in motion that much more clear.
This is a TN with about 2ms response times so yes oleds will still be fast enough with their 0.3ms response times to punch above their refresh rates but this one isnt so bad. That being said the 480hz oleds that just came out do moderately beat this 540hz TN monitor in motion clarity despite the TN being extremley fast for an LCD monitor
It would be nice if people mentioned pixel response time when they were talking refresh rated. There might be a 240 or 360 Hz screen out there that have less perceived motion bluer because the pixel response time is faster.
Can this monitor do black frame insertion at 540hz? Cause that might also reduce perceived motion and only require 270 fps. That might also be a solution for people that are not too sensitive when it comes to smoothness.
I would just get a 240 hz oled without the downsides of a tn panel
@@ridi7154 An OLED has an excellent pixel response time, but you might not be able to get the size you want, you might risk burn-in, the maximum brightness might be lower, small text might look weird and they cost more than a TN. But the colors and contrast are usually grate. You have to make a compromise no matter what you are getting. But I also like the 240hz OLEDs.
That's all remotely high refresh rate oleds and they're a literal order of magnitude faster but are currently capped at 240hz with 360hz ones coming q1 2024. Currently 240hz oleds already nearly traded blows with the 360hz lcds in motion performance but this debate is already pretty talked about by most gaming hardware enthusiasts. I suspect with lcds response times also further becoming an issue for fully transitioning pixels before the frame has to update again (why people were switching back to 240hz fron 360hz too, it was too slow), games much less consistently stay above 540 fps even with the best hardware and the latency of a purely faster response time will all make the battle even closer this time around.
Currently tho this is the fastest response time lcd period and by a pretty decent margin at that
Yeah man it can do bfi. Even without it the image persistence is only 2ms due to the pixel response times of TN actually being able to switch almost every color at speeds lower than 2ms. So combine the already low image persistence with bfi and it’s crazy. It’s crt like in my opinion. Of course this “crt” like experience isn’t as possible when you lower the refresh. Man it’s crazy how every refresh rate on a crt is perfectly clear huh. If only they weren’t tiny and bulky, and low resolution.
Oled is not remotely close to Benq XL2546K/XL2566K/PG248QP despite having

I'm not an e-sports level gamer, but whenever ASUS drops that 32" 4K 240Hz OLED next year, that'll probably feel like ascension from my 29" 1080p Ultrawide 75Hz IPS. I bought the 4080, I'm going to use the full 4080 in my cinematic games, darnit. If I ever want to get more serious with shooters again like I wanted to be, I'll probably snag this to use in those games/be a side monitor for my static apps so I don't get burn in on the OLED.
I made the switch this week after 20 years of xbox gaming to my brand new pc with 240fps. It feels really satisfying but i'm glad I can use my controller with Apex because i'm extremely horrible with M&K.
I found it harder to use than the 360hz personally. Same reason I didnt like Dyac+, its almost too smooth. When I flick, I can see everything but my brain also tries to process that info when I don't want it to. May just need more time with it
Im having a similar issue with my OLED at 120hz. The pixel response time is soo fast, but refreshing at only 120hz is making the screen look almost choppy when flicking and it takes my eyes a split second to refocus on whats on the screen. I wish I could try 360hz or 540hz without having to shell out the cash to buy one.
Just pre ordered mine arrives before Christmas glad to have a pc that can run games crazy good, I play overwatch 2 competitively so getting 600 fps is easy
I have 13900KS and 4090 and I average between 320 to 500 fps in an actual match (Valorant), sometimes even less when there's a big fight with a lot of skills being used in real time. I don't think it's even possible to run any of the competitive FPS titles at 540+ without an external chiller and some extreme overclocking. I'm running 240 hz at 1440p and I can't imagine going back to 1080, especially a TN panel.
Valorant favours AMD quite a bit for some rteason although yeah true at most your averages will only just hit that 540 fps number even with a 7800x3d. That being said with a lot of overclocking at 1440p with a 13600k and 3060ti i average like 430-650fps lol. Most of that is from ram overclocking tho its really important in val.
I bought this monitor. I think it's amazing, especially the ability to change the rez to "native" 5:3 and 4:3
Can you please explain?
@TheMamba212 it has a "esports mode" that changes the accepted resolution to a 5:3 or 4:3 aspect ratio. Basically resolutions that are used heavily in ultra competitive scenes, for me that's cs( lower than 1080p)
@@billcat1592 thanks, all right. So when using this mode for 4:3, what kind of scaling are you using in nvidia control panel?
@@TheMamba212none, the monitor scales it for me. And amazingly I might add. I just choose the same rez as I chose in monitor
240 feels awesome. When it dips around 120 144 i notice it. 144 mininum
I have a 240Hz OLED and I'm perfectly fine with buying a 500Hz or 1kHz ((OLED)) equivalent.
I have the 45" Corsair Flex 21:9 which is equivalent to a 32" 16:9 monitor. I play hardcore so the HUD is not priority one but the latency is priority one. OLEDs pixel response is untouched by anything else to date. Not interested in a TN panel at all.
I got a 360hz monitor for my rhythm games and noticed a difference straight away from old 165hz monitor. I dont think it was an insane jump like 60 to 144 was but its noticeable enough jump and it really didn't cost me much. £255 on sale with dell awards program as well as I got the AW3423DW a year ago and they gave my rewards late it seems. Its made reading dense patterns easier. I will have to test out an FPS game, I stopped playing em as I dont like Val or CS... Halo is dead af and has been since reach, I reached onyx in infinite and quite instantly, OW I hit masters before OW2 happened and quit... To come back to OW2 to get the wrong rank bug so I quit again. And the game is still bad as well. Oh and siege also got ass, I remember hitting Plat when that was the second highest... Then when champ dropped the cheaters got more rampant it seems so I quit that on top of all the balance issues.
Ohh I disagree, 144 to 360 for me was way more insane than 60-144 , made playing osu so much better
My brothers, who are only casual gamers didn’t notice the difference between console and 144 even after I tried showing them, but they sure noticed the 360hz once they were playing on my 144 and it came in and I replaced it
Wait a minute is his twirl getting bigger?
what about apex did u test that how much fps we got was it stable whit the pc what specs u minimium need
man these monitors are getting crazy and here iam still chilling with a 100hz monitor 😅
Love how all gaming oriented channels put gamers as professional.
You'll never find an actual professional panel with the word "gaming" printed anywhere on the box.
its a shame they only realease this monitors at 24" 1080p at this point 27" 1440p is the sweet spot with a better long term future. and the mustache man seeing a vtuber was a nice touch lol
I'm fairly certain you would've got more frames out of an 7700x or 7800x3d
It's a pity that there's no 360+hz monitor that also have great color accuracy and not using a TN panel. Sure it can game but not having to change monitor between games and editing is so convenient
asus 360hz ips 1440p
pg27aqn 1440p 360hz with ulmb2 is the clearest and pretty colour accurate with its ips panel.
The first available to buy 360hz monitors were using IPS.
AW2725DF coming in January.
Just wait till next year Alienware is releasing a 360hz QD-Oled display
280hz looks so smooth, as a casual enjoyer the amount of detail you retain, and the clarity in motion is juat anazing. 500hz looks to be the next big leap in terms lf motion clarity.
And while I have no interest in TN panels, as a casual gamer it depends on whether you prioritize sharper pixels, over motion clarity. Both can make a game look good in different ways.
480hz 27" oled 1440p coming out this year
So this is basically a 15min ad...
I own a 360hz monitor and I have capped it at 240hz……. It feels choppy because the refresh rate isn’t completely consistent. It’s usually bouncing back and forth between 280-360 and that just feels shitty

Man google knows me well.. i get monitor vids now that i've bought my 1st over 60hz mon, over 10y using same 21.5in budget benq monitor with no hdmi is finally going to be over 🙏
You can’t compare 360hz and 240hz with monitors that are not 100% compliant, it they have overshoot you will just get smearing.(the monitor can refresh at 360hz but the pixels are too slow to transition to the correct color before next frame is recieved. )
The fastest you can get is oled.
At anything over 120hz oled is only paneltype that is fast enough to always avoid smearing.
Current OLED's on the market have no ghosting but they do have overshoot. Nasty overshoot. Look at rtings. Just as bad.
high refresh rate IPS is the sweet spot. good viewing angles/color accuracy. plenty of 240hz options.
Respect where technology is going but nah, hit me with a 1440p 240hz and I'll be fine. Love the content and the presentation. Subscribed!
Even if you don't have a stable fps equaling your monitor's refresh rate, it's still better using the faster display. Just sayin.
Yeah and just cap the FPS to a number that cleanly divides into your hz so its smooth. Then the image is still presented faster with the higher hz display.
I have a 360hz 1440p anddddd leetify tells me my time-to-damage is generally lower than everyone, almost everytime, and I'm an old boomer. Some good games I've seen it at 350ms ;)
Only problem is ghosting, alot of pros including myself have even stated the artifacts and ghosting in alot of games is very noticable when its way higher then what the games can handle. 99.9 games dont give this option and you will be seeing ghosting like crazy
Would’ve loved to see Niall’s reaction to this monitor 😂
Some people don’t understand that 144hz is actually kinda slow 7 milliseconds of delay is insane if ur diamond or 16k premier elo or higher
Do you guys remember that movie with Mark Wahlberg "The Italian Job" when he says "no mater what dont stare"? I finale Understand the feeling.
dimitri is like the carl azuz of esports
I still play on 60hz and I have a 3070ti :/ I honestly never knew there would be a difference until I played on something faster. I was blown away. Fck.
Refresh rate even matters in fighting games. 9/10 fighting games seem lazy and just lock at 60 fps as if we're cavemen still, but when it is unlocked, it feels amazing.
360hz monitors aren't even expensive anymore. A few weeks ago the lenovo 360hz monitor was on sale for 215€, thats just a bit more expensive than cheap 240hz monitors. I bought a lenovo 240hz monitor for 165€ a few months ago when it was on sale so the 360hz version is just 50€ more expensive on sale.
1080p using the 4090 should be considered a crime, I'd rather take a 360hz 1440p oled monitor Aw2725df it is really solid
Honestly, i don't see the point of 540hz TN that are still have 2ms resopnse time when the AQDM 240hz oled has 0.03ms.
Like, i dont think refresh rate is that important when OLED is so much better outside the refresh rate.
I personally wait for the 1440p 360hz OLED coming out early 2024. that thing will be a beast
how much you think it will cost? im sure it wont be cheap
what gpu and processor are you planning to use with that?
@@jigmewangchuk4085 I have a 7800x3D and RTX4090
@@theogknight2292 hard to say, but ASUS 4K 32" 240hz oled model will be 1499usd, while alienware has the same specs one this release. so they will probably offer it at the same price, while this 1440p 27" model will definitely be cheaper. my guess is 1199usd msrp, maybe less. for reference, you can get the LG 240hz version for 800usd already on sales
I'll choose an OLED 240hz just for Latency. It's more important.
ikr
The 360hz IPS panel has 3-4ms which is alright. Still waiting for pure QD LED cause that thing would have sub-ms input lag.
@@chupasaurus oled has instant pixel respond time
I have a samsung g7 odyssey 240hz that I use for CS. I dont really have that much knowlesge when it comes to OLED, LED and QLED, but do you think my monitor is okay?
@@RSUnicorn I don't care about pixel response time much, input lag is far more important.
So this is pretty much great if you have a PC that can actually run the 540hz on games like CS or Val. Sounds like 240 is still the sweet spot
Well there's no perceptible difference. We need that sweet 240hz with crt response time.
Screen refresh rate is just a part of the equation.
just ordered. lets see what asus new bad boy can do for us eh?
its impressive, but this is really for pro players for few esport titles. I am rocking 120hz IPS panel 34" curved ultrawide and its the best ive had and wouldnt change it unless they make 240hz OLED panel. You can play all competitive games AND other games/movies and its fantastic, TN panel or even VA panel is such a downgrade in visual fidelity and immersion
you can get VA to look better than IPS because it does blacks really really well. The issue is black smearing which makes it really distracting when playing games.
@@copboom555 ur right, thats exactly why i switched from VA to IPS and now plan to switch to OLED. the black and contrast on VA was amazing, but even at high refresh rate, most of the monitors suffered from ghosting when looking around fast in darker areas and i cant stand it
Just get any monitor with good motion blur reduction, DyAC or ULMB2. 240hz with motion blur reduction will be clearer than 360hz without reduction. That’s why TenZ and Optimum downgraded, those early 360hz monitors had bad ghosting and no motion blur reduction.
I think Tenz and Optimum is using the new zowie 360hz now. You late to the game man.
@@CodeVenomSnakes I’m not late, I’m pointing out in THIS video here Tenz and Optimum’s old 2020 opinion of them downgrading from 360hz to 240hz is outdated. This video is using old opinions. Their criticism of 360hz was because they didn’t have back light strobing so 360hz didn’t feel as good as 240hz with dyac. I know now Optimum is 240hz Oled and Tenz is on BenqDyAc 360hz.
@@jeffdmsl critisism of 360hz was about bad pixel response times (as it is now with alienware 500hz), not all pros use black light strobing
@@jeffdmslYou are correct, i thought the same when i was watching the vid. This monitor technically is the best motion clarity monitor period. High refresh rate of 540hz paired with the best Strobing tech ULMB 2.
@@Saleh_kaz Yup, ULMB2 is amazing. I love my 1440p 360hz with ULMB2, it’s too smooth. It’s crazy to believe the 540hz is even smoother.
Finally! a cracked tech video!!
Man im so late and so glad i got myself a 165hz monitor with gsync compatibility it’s miles better than my old 60hz monitor lmao
My wallet and gf are very mad at asus for this monitor. But my credit card company is quite happy.
Blurring the monitor in the intro lol like we gonna see the difference in our screens
I would like to see the 540hz asus monitor compared to the alienware 480hz monitor selling for almost half the price.
I would love to see that aswell
The alienware has a worse panel with ghosting.
@@fireroc2 I knew the price was too good to be true.
360 Hz IPS over 540 TN every day.
Got myself 300hz, jumping from 165, not really noticble
okay dmitri, now ill wait linus review this monitor
