Aug 1st 2023 AMD Radeon RX 6000/7000 GPUs Reduce Idle Power Consumption by 81% with VRR Enabled (94) One of the most notable complaints with the alienware or LG OLED monitors is that text is blurry. This extends to the LG C2 as well. IMO this is a dealbreaker because being a PC monitor means having text on screen in most cases, often of smaller sizes, and impairing the ability to read that is going to diminish the experience greatly. For workday tasks, the AG274QG is a great tool. Its 109 ppi pixel density is well suited for text or graphical documents. Whether running Photoshop or Word, you’ll see your work clearly with excellent contrast and vivid color where appropriate. You're trying to adjust realities to make your point that OLED is too dim. Sorry bud, that's just not true.

The AG274QZM is capable of coming fairly close to its specified 750 cd/m 2 peak brightness, but only when the R, G and B user-colour settings are at 50, where it peaked at 668 cd/m 2 but with a colour temperature of 5300K. The closest preset to the optimal 6500K was the Normal setting (6700-6800K), but this lowered peak brightness to 540 cd/m 2. That’s still an impressive figure, of course, but falls short of what I expected. In typical internet fashion you replied rudely to a comment you skipped through because you felt a single line was incorrect without reading the whole thing. Vayra86Phone outside is a screen that gets brighter especially when it gets hit by direct sunlight or at least, much more ambient light than you would have indoors.Your phone adjusts brightness regardless of whether the sun is directly hitting it or not. Ambient light levels are much higher outside of course but that wasn't the point of my example, it was to point out that higher ambient light levels require higher levels of brightness to properly see the screen. Surely you did not think that I was saying that outside midday lighting is normal inside lighting. The star of the show is the high peak brightness, with the AG274QZM peaking at over 1,100 cd/m² in HDR. Brightness is equally impressive in SDR, although the measured brightness falls short of the specified 750 cd/m² – the highest recorded brightness was 668 cd/m² but the picture was far too warm. Using suitable display settings for a balanced picture, 540 cd/m² was the best I could achieve, though this rose to over 600 cd/m² after calibration. You can also activate local dimming for SDR content, which boosts the contrast significantly. dE colour accuracy – a wide range of colours are tested and the colour accuracy dE measured. We compare these produced colours to the sRGB reference space, and if applicable when measuring a wide gamut screen we also provide the accuracy relative to a specific wide gamut reference such as DCI-P3. An average dE and maximum dE is provided along with an overall screen rating. The lower the dE the better with differences of <1 being imperceptible (marked by the green area on the graph), and differences between 1 and 3 being small (yellow areas). Anything over dE 3 needs correcting and causes more obvious differences in appearance relative to what should be shownWhile that is unfortunate, the local dimming can be turned off without affecting the contrast too much. What’s worse is that it also happens when HDR is enabled and disabling local dimming in that case makes it near unusable, resulting in a terrible, washed-out image. So, although this monitor is HDR1000 rated and certainly can hit those heights, I was disappointed by how it handled menus in dark games like Returnal, as the pure white text ends up looking dim and washed out.

Because it’s the older generation HDMI 2.0 capabilities, there is no HDMI-VRR, which might have made VRR for PS5 in the future more likely, but doesn’t matter for Xbox at all. It will not support ALLM, Dolby Vision or 24Hz signals but can support 50Hz and HDR10 content. High Dynamic Range (HDR) HDR Technical Capabilities

The default gamma setting (Gamma 1) was closest to the ideal 2.2 gamma curve, sitting slightly below it, however, this was still a clearly visible deviation when compared with the calibrated profile. There are 4 overdrive modes available in the OSD menu – off, weak, medium and strong. First of all we compared each mode at the maximum 170Hz refresh rate and captured the perceived motion clarity as you would see it in real use. We will ignore the ‘off’ mode as there’s no benefit in using that at any refresh rate. You can see at the max 170Hz refresh rate the optimal mode was the ‘medium’ setting. There were some small improvements in sharpness and small reductions in blurring as you switch up from the ‘weak’ mode, although they were quite subtle in practice. You get a crisper and clearer image in the ‘medium’ mode at 170Hz and the image quality was good, no sign of any overshoot artefacts either. The ‘strong’ mode pushed things too far, and introduced some noticeable pale and dark halos behind the moving UFO test, caused by some moderate levels of overshoot. It’s best to avoid the ‘strong’ mode altogether. It also sports decent contrast for an IPS panel. Monitors with local dimming zones typically rely on them to boost their contrast rating and can’t compete when it’s turned off. Take the Sony Inzone M9 for example, which dropped from a 1064:1 contrast ratio with local dimming enabled to only 935:1 when it was turned off. That isn’t the case with the AGON PRO, as I measured a respectable 1138:1 contrast ratio without local dimming, a bit better than the standard 1000:1 for these panels. The 27-inch AGON PRO tournament gaming monitor comes with 2K Quad HD 2560x1440 resolution IPS panel for excellent visuals. If this is supposed to be 'budget' miniLED to compete with OLED, its DOA. And that's what it is right now.The grey-to-grey response is desirably fast, especially for a display that focuses on image quality as much as it does performance, with average transitions under 15ms. This translates well to gaming; It won’t magically make you better at games, but in a competitive environment where every millisecond counts, you have to take every advantage you can get.

(Might not work on all programs but it's a good start.) [QD-OLED is special, doesn't work.]I also noted the built-in speakers with DTS mode. They put out decent volume without distortion and the DTS option expands the sound field a bit beyond the edges of the screen. There isn’t much bass, but the midrange and high frequencies are well-balanced. Build quality is not as nice as monitors from Alienware or the Asus Republic of Gamers line, as the design is not as cohesive and doesn’t gel around a recognizable brand identity. It’s close, though, and AOC deserves credit for delivering a handsome piece of kit for the price. The AG274QZM is among the least expensive Mini-LED monitors on the market today, yet feels nearly as premium as competitors sold for hundreds more. Apart from that, HDR is implemented well and really shines in brighter scenes. Whether it was traveling across a dusty desert in Horizon Zero Dawn with the sun overhead, or swinging through a snowy Manhattan in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, there is a richness and depth to the colors and highlights that are more discernible than in SDR. This is likely due to the panel’s ability to output true 10-bit color when HDR is enabled, even at 240Hz. Still, when exploring dark caves in Horizon Zero Dawn, it felt more “dusky” than truly dark. Poor out-of-the-box calibration Let’s start with brightness. I measured a maximum HDR brightness of 948 nits, which is very close to the promised maximum of 1,000 nits. The monitor delivered a slightly lower maximum brightness in a 10 percent window, with a maximum brightness of 814 nits.

Aug 23rd 2023 Samsung Electronics Unveils World's First Dual UHD Gaming Monitor: Odyssey Neo G9 57-inches (16)The screen has a blue peak at 449 nm, and is unfortunately not part of the Eyesafe certified range of screens. There are a range of blue light reduction modes in the OSD for pre-defined usage like internet, office and multimedia for instance. Each seems to make the image slightly more greenish in colour in fact and makes the image slightly warmer as well, therefore reducing the blue peak a bit. The maximum mode is called ‘reading’ and is about 5208k. Response Times and Gaming You’ll notice the benefits when viewing any HDR content, whether it’s games, HDR movies, or even HDR clips on YouTube. A sunset will appear bright, crisp, and detailed, while a flashlight in a foggy midnight forest will appear as a spot of brilliance in an otherwise foreboding scene.
