There's other forms of backlight strobing that are actually good like ASUS TUF ELMB sync and ULMB sync on some gsync compatible monitors. I've heard the Acer 270hz 1440p has really good backlight strobing for an ips panel and might be what you're looking for
The thing you get asked the most is your workout routine!
@@the_womp_and_only9062 nice how much is that I'm looking to upgrade from a TN 240Hz Asus panel to one with better image quality and the same speed though... This might be worth a look.
6:04 But you said that you are an esports gamer in the review of asus 360hz monitor...
I would like to recommend using frog pursuit in lieu of UFO's from blur busters. Aperture Grille made a game that is much better than blur busters UFO's being Chrome and Firefox can't keep up with variable refresh rates
The human eye can only see the $500 difference.
You can definitely see a little more than just that, lmao. xD
360 Hz is great, but, unless the individual pixels can keep up with that refresh rate, the difference you're going to see between a 240 hz and a 360 hz is that the 360 hz is a smudgy-a** mess.
That being said, his solution to the problem was stupid, lmao... he could've just set his 360 IPS monitor (The one with superior color presentation) to 240 hz, instead of getting a TN monitor (Dogsht colors, all yellow and green, ugh...). xD
Rich people have very little common sense. ;)

@@MyouKyuubiI'll have to ask you about monitors once I go get a new one
I upgraded from 60 to 240 and its life-changing, to say the least
Upgrading from 240 to 120 backlight strobing is even more life-changing. It brings CRT levels of motion clarity.
the strobing better be really refined to it not to induce headaches, which is not possible on a cheapo 120hz monitor

True!
Every single tech channel has someone saying this LOL.
Also, the setting makes a huge difference.
My monitor has very serious ghosting problem when set to 144Hz. But when set to 120Hz, almost no ghosting at all.
Some maker pushes their panel to get bigger FPS number, but in some case that just makes it look wost.
We need a benq 360hz dyac +++ monitor

How about a benq 1440p dyac monitor finally?!!
What color settings do you use on the XL2546K?
"Inverse ghosting" or corona is often not mentioned in reviews, I'm glad you talked about it. I bought a Samsung Q80T for use as a lounge computer display as it was touted as one of the best gaming TVs on the market for brighter rooms (OLED isn't bright enough for my setup). This TV has hideous amounts of inverse ghosting, I can visibly see my room get brighter at night with the lights off when moving around in some scenes (in particular, Witcher 3 and Valheim during the game's night).
I've never exotic that on my Q80t that's odd
@@ritzy4593 inverse ghosting is very common on VA panels
@@HugoElcabezas I have the Q80t 65inch, Samsung G7, G9, and CHG70 and gave never experienced that on my screens though. The motion on those screens is really really good
No TV is really meant for gaming no matter how much "gaming" they put on the box.
Hardware unboxed is very good with that, they usually talk about inverse ghosting (overshoot) in their reviews.

tired red eyes
Me watching the video in 30hz, wdym they all look shitty
im 60hz i tried 240hz is🔥🔥 and its easier to aim with me
Big facts hommie
The difference between even 60 and 120 is very nice
Really glad to see someone on TH-cam discuss response times, motion blur and backlight strobing in-depth, it's not discussed enough. RetroArch has an option for "black frame insertion" which operate on the same principle, and even when it's 120hz getting cut down to 60, the motion clarity was enough to convince me.
They say that with smoothness and image clarity during fast motions we tend to really notice doubles. From 30 to 60 is a nobrainer. From 60 to 120 is huge. From 120 to 240 is definitely noticeable (especially in image clarity during motion) but 240 to 360 is more like going from 120 to 165. It's noticeable, but probably wouldn't be worth the upgrade. 240 to 480 would, however, be noticeable to most people as long as you point them at what to look for (basically viewing it more as motion blur reduction than actually being or feeling much smoother or more direct). Apparently it'd take around 1000hz/fps to have motion clarity equal to the good CRT screens from before most people reading this were born. They didn't have sample-and-hold technology and therefore could be 'stuttery', but technically didn't have motion blur. Hell, it's possible for fast motions to appear *much* sharper and clearer on such a monitor than in real life. As weird as that may sound.
I use 165hz it’s great
Referring to your last line, you might not believe me, but in real life, fast motions can be sharper and clearer if the environmental light was more than the average sunlight... Some really bright source can help.
i do miss that 150hz crt i had ( 640 resolution tho lol ) was worth it
funny how we had like 180+hz monitors 30 years ago ahah
Honestly the difference between 240hz and 360hz is so minimal, and I'd rather have BenQ's Dyac technology because that's something that actually makes a massive difference.
Have you seen how it looks on ips 👀
It looks extremely good compared to the TN panel
@@achoprtv well, the benqs are TN panel.
@@achoprtv Yea, that's the only downside. Though in terms of pure performance, the BenQ beats it hands down. DyAC is a game changer.

Nice video, explains the thoughts well & frankly I'm totally convinced after seeing those comparisons! I'll verify it via some other sources just in case it was a setup issue in some way (highly unlikely)
Motion clarity is such an underrated feature of gaming monitors that almost no manufacturer advertises properly. Even some of the nastiest VA panels with horrible ghosting and smearing can be advertised as "1ms". It's why I steered away from the Asus PG35VQ (200hz VA panel) and went for the LG 38GN950 instead (160hz IPS). There is no way to truly know how good a monitor is in this department without a proper reviewer showing the real response times across all colors with different overdrive modes. Tim from Hardware Unboxed has done a great job there, though.
not only the shots, even your hoodie is so clean I LOVE IT!
glad you shouted out strobing. I bought my Viewsonic Elite specifically for it and people sleep on it and its the only way you can get LCDs to have CRT clarity.
The tech in that Zowie sounds pretty cool. One day I might have to upgrade if they ever make a 1440p one. My personal ideal monitor would be 1440p and 160-180hz. Of course it would also be OLED due to the colors and near instant response times.
Not OLED, but consider the 27GP850-b by LG.
It’s 1440p 165hz (OC to 180hz). IPS panel of course and 1ms RT.

Personally, 1080p is getting passed its time. The additional details in the picture that 1440p brings help me spot targets more than I believe 360hz would.

6 minute video, quick to the point = Subscribe. Keep it up man!
I agree 100% with your conclusions and it's why IMO a 160Hz CRT feels very similar to a 240Hz LCD. 360Hz (and even higher refresh rates) are the way forward but response times probably aren't there yet. There is another aspect you didn't mention and that's actually being able crank out consistent frames to support a clean 360Hz, that's the reason alone why I also use 240Hz over 360Hz.
Also if you want to go farther into these sorts of comparisons a zisworks lcd can show you a lot. It's the same panel doing 120/240/360/480Hz (depending on the res)
I would love to see you try out a CRT and hear your thoughts on them.
He didn’t know what a CRT monitor was when he reviewed people’s gaming setups. I would also like to see him try them out though.
@@evilTuninvited I still have one.
I wish they made them with hdmi though, getting them to work on modern pc is a hassle. But for some games it just works like nothing else. I just finished Little Nightmares 2 on a CRT, and it was great.
@@jamegumb7298 the Delock 62967 DAC I picked up for relatively cheap works amazingly well for me. I get 160hz @ 800x600 and 90hz @ 1600x1200 without issue.
It's been a few years since I've used CRT and I'm feeling increasingly disappointed with both my 240hz and 360hz IPS monitors. Response, input lag, ghosting, contrast, richness and warmth are all compromised with LCD. I hope OLED and similar technologies are the future of gaming monitors
@@anthlongordo oled is already there (of course it costs a small fortune for it), but most likely mini & micro led will be the leading screen types in the next 10-15 years
My first thought is how they lack the connectivity options of today 😆
They also make an annoying high pitched noise when running at 60Hz & are very flickery giving me a headache. CRT is definitely not for me.
100% agree. I'm pro player and I am thinking on switching back from the Alienware AW2521H 360Hz to the Benq XL2546k because of the same reason, hope we get a 360Hz with DyaC soon.
I'm a pro. 60hz ftw
Can I Ask your XL2546k settings ? mode,beq,colors, etc. ? ty
Yo, I have colors, brightness all to 100% (This are personal preference they don't affect performance at all). Sharpness I use 7. What matter the most tho is the overdrive and DyAc settings, so the best settings are Overdrive (High) with DyAc+ Premium for the Cleanest Image possible.
Ty bro. BlackEQ , Contrast , Gamma ? And what profile u using ? Standart or gamer or fps ? Ty
@@sandorszabados8477 Np, FPS profile with default BlackEQ, Contrast and Gamma
You bring up a great point when considering what gaming monitor to purchase. Frame sharpness seems just as important as refresh rate.
I came from 120Hz Ultrawide 1440p to 165hz 1440p 27" and then to the BenQ XL2546. Never made a better choice. The visuals are so fast and sharp and input is so responsive. i cant go back to the other ones.
I would like to see a Benq 27"with 1440p and DyAc 240Hz. That would be my next monitor.
Im not sure that IPS panels could give me the fastness of an TN panel but we will see.
I could recommend a adjustable monitor arm for anyone. You got so much more space on the desk and can put your keyboard and mouse UNDER the monitor. Especially for me cause i got a unconventional hotkey layout.
Cant live without DyAc
Glad to see people like you in the space that will make videos like this and not just praise numbers without context.

To see response time, try Punch-Out on the NES. That was built for CRT TVs. This generation of OLED with the ridiculously low response time is the first flat panel that does it justice.
I'd love to see your thoughts on seeing the backlight strobing of the ASUS VG248QE. This monitor sold me on BFI many, many years ago. You'd have to find one used at this point, but it is well worth it. It has the best implementation of strobing as the monitor was intended for 3D viewing. Since then, I have yet to find a clearer monitor.
The issue with BFI that no one mentions is that it is inserting a black frame. Meaning, a 240Hz panel is showing you 120Hz of information, since every other frame is black. The ASUS VG248QE could only run at 120Hz, and thus a 60Hz BFI image. I eventually got rid of it, but no other monitor has a clearer BFI implementation than that one. However, modern panels are probably clearer in terms of raw visibility just because our manufacturing processes have gotten better. A TN panel from 6 years ago is not the same as a TN panel from now-a-days.
I got an AW2720HFA because it was reasonably priced and in stock 😅 I actually wanted a 1440p 144/165Hz monitor which was advertised at the same price but they haven't been in stock for over a year. I'm not disappointed in my purchase and once I can upgrade my GPU then I might look into the 1440p option again and hopefully by then it'll be in stock 😂
Cool i will get that as a second monitor today. My main is an AW-1440p. GPU RTX 4080. glad you seem happy
As far as I remember the biggest gain is when going from 60 to 144, and after that each "gain" is smaller, and smaller.
165Hz probably is the ultimate middle ground.
im running 3440x1440p ultrawide ips with g sync at 120hz and it feels smooth as hell coming from an ips 60fps 1980x1080p monitor to me that is the sweet spot for me i rather have better picture quality and wider screen then any faster fps.
No need to limit yourself like that, people who get used to 240hz and above cannot go back. Their brain has been expanded and changed forever.
Human eye is capable of so much, I can only be excited for what the future technology will bring.
Just bought the Asus swift 360hz 1080p for $299 new shipped on Amazon. It went down in price so much that it is curretnyl cheaper than the other 240hz options you mentioned in the video. And actually cheaper than many other 240hz or 280hz options
Dude, THANK YOU for not leaving us esports enthusiasts out to dry on your channel. So many other channels hardly cover anything about the latest 1080p esports displays. Is it theoretically possible to put DyAC features on an IPS monitor or is there something about it that it only works with TN panels? I'd love something that has extremely low motion blur at 240hz or higher but TN panels aren't what I'd want for my setup even though I'm a very competitive gamer.
BTW I would just like to say how much I appreciate your blend of 24fps or 30fps B-Roll (not sure which it is) and 60fps gameplay. I hate it when people show video game footage at 24fps or even 30fps if it would normally run at a higher frame rate. It looks so stuttery and honestly distracts from the video.
How do you notice that? Pro gamer
@@delta2884 it's very obvious
I can tell you this much.
When i first transitioned from console to PC at first it didn’t feel any different outside of the fps that is.
However,
When I went back to console and 60hz it literally felt like lag.
Interesting take that IPS is the way forward for gaming monitors, as much as I like IPS panels and use them for both of my secondary monitors I'll still use the VA as my main because the contrast ration and actually having blacks is good.
Great video! Just one thing - your claim at @1.57 that the speed up is 3x is not entirely accurate, as a similar argument could be made for 30 / 60 fps. I agree that response times can aid in reducing motion blur; however, it is somewhat unrelated to frame times.
Straight to the point, very nice informative video !
Can we all just appreciate this king's aim?
Good analysis! :D
I have a question: Does activating a strobe option decrease the maximum number of frames per second by half?
Dyac = 240fps to 120fps?
It always does on any brand. I missed that info in this video too. I cannot believe his measurement of system latency too...
A motionblur reduction technique will not reduce ur fps output as fps is determined by ur pc and not monitor. You will see the same number of franes with dyac on / off but with it on the image will be slightly clearer
it doesn't drop fps iirc
it drops brightness since your monitor does not show 100% light all the time but 50% or something depending on the strobing.
the rest of the time the backlight is turned off
Rather than the backlight remaining on, it will turn off between each frame to enhance clarity because the pixels are not backlit between frames. It does not reduce your fps

What about that Acer Aopen monitor with 390hz + MBR? From the reviews I've seen the MBR on it is almost as good as DYAC, except it happens at 390hz with better response times on the panel. It's an IPS panel with much better contrast, and it's cheaper. I've seen multiple reports that people are gaming better on it and breaking their personal records in aim trainers.
Is there any particular reason you'd recommend a monitor that's worse on paper in nearly every single aspect while being more expensive?
I am using the MAG251RX too and love this monitor!
Do u have any brightness issues?
I’d love to see a GSYNC video from your channel, as I believe it is the best way to make the most of your monitor. I think GSYNC is quite underrated. The difference it makes is massive with motion clarity and smoothness, even compared to most uncapped, high framerate shenanigans.
All of those monitors are Gsync compatible and that's the holle point... 360hz is a bit to fast, to soon.
Dyac and g sync don't work at the same time. Lg has similar tech like dyac called 1ms MBR it's too backlight like dyac.
I think gsync also adds some input lag
@Dihydrogen Monoxide it actually doesn't. Just V-sync that would cap your framerate to max refresh rate of your display, pure g-sync will just not kick in at framerates above max refresh rate.
@Dihydrogen Monoxide proof?
Once you upgrade to 120hz or higher it’s honestly difficult to downgrade. The smoothness is quite noticeable.
I upgraded from 60Hz to 75Hz and honestly even that is a big difference, I can't even imagine how good it gets for higher values. Hopefully I get a chance to try out at least 144Hz
@@MarkoVuckovic32 144hz are affordable tbh , if you think of what the prices of these 75hz were , its kinda the same around +150 $ so yeah. I currently own a benqXL2411 I bought it for like 180 , was worth and in a week , I upgrade again but this time straight to 360hz

I have had the Alienware 360hz for 3 months and I can absolutely tell the difference now when seeing my friends 240hz.
One thing I would point out is that apex legends tops out at 200fps so you won't see any difference with 360. (I have a 3090 and 5950x so I doubt my pc is the issue). But CSGO is amazing on 360. I have gained 2 ranks since the swap from 180hz.
Zowie XL2546k is still superior for aiming and having easier time tracking targets than any of the IPS 360 hertzs monitors, heck even the Acer XV252QF 390 hertzs is worse in pixel response time regard, it has MPRS 3.4 ms, not worth to get refresh rate boost for less crisp picture at high frames and worse response time of monitor when aiming.
@@AntonioKH2 so alienware but cut the refresh rate and remove the g sync chip and nvidia reflex
@@resolvedmanx0156
Pretty much, any 360 hertzs monitors and beyond currently on the market have less pixel precision when aiming than the Zowie XL2546k with it's DyAc technology, right now the only reason to get one is to reduce eye fatigue, and be able to react faster to enemies appearing on screen if you play scouter position in first/third person shooter games, but it's very circumstantial, I would take the picture clearance and low latency over the extra hertzs anyday, we are talking about 0,02 miliseconds margin advantage from 240 hertzs to 360 hertzs, it's so minimal that it raises the question wether you should pick one or the other for reaction time or aim instead, for me it's aim, but I can understand why some people would want the first one to have slightly increased hardware reaction time and reduced eye fatigue.
I'm hopping we can get DyAc at 360 hertzs and beyond soon, that would be my wet dream, aiming is so much easier with it.

awesome video very honest, detailed and informative thank you
A few notes - This Asus 360hz model actually has fast enough response time to drive 360hz, around 2.2ms and it is currently fastest LCD panel. Benq is only better because of DYAC, which is not for everyone due to strobbing.
Lot of pro's are moving from that exact benq to that exact asus :) But as with many things, it is of course subjective.
BTW you should try playing quake champions, it is miles faster than games you are playing and I see that you like fast paced playing! Also offers more weapon type variety (tracking hitscan, projectile, tracking projectile, flick hitscan, etc) and movement variety (strafe jump, crouch slide, air strafe, dash, double jump etc)
Not true, only 65.5% of transitions are within that window, g2g isnt the only transition.

Have you tested the VG258QM or VG289QM monitors from Asus? I recently purchased both monitors and returned the VG259QM (IPS) display. The "0.5ms" quoted from asus on the VG258QM just seemed so much smoother vs the IPS variant at 1ms
If anyone here has a ROG Strix G531 series laptop with a 120Hz panel, then you can safely overclock up to 158Hz without any artifacts.
However, that will most definitely reduce its lifespan, and also causes a shit ton of unwanted ghosting. It’s up to you.
I recommend tuning a 144Hz or 155Hz overclock for optimal use.
The difference between 144hz and 60hz is hugely noticeable, especially when you have one next to the other, but I wouldn't even go up to 240hz because my system barely pushes 100fps.
You do not need to have your system Match FPS to HZ. If you play first person shooters turn off the gysync garbage for a more responsive experience. Do not worry about matching it, let the HZ go high do not try to match fps to refresh rate decouple them. It will be more responsive with mouse and you will be a better player for it. All the good players know this and do it to get an edge.
I've not used vsync in long time you will not see much tearing. For slow games sure turn it on if you want but not for fast paced FPS.
I play on 144hz. I feel like it looks so fast already and that 360 wouldn’t even be “game changing”. I feel like the jump to 240hz would be great enough.
i've got 360hz Alienware a few months ago after long time playing on 144hz. Huge difference. It worth the upgrade no matter what this guy says
@@pashkinodji9315 oh cool. Does it just look better or do you think it actually gives competitive advantage.
@@sawyer.5436 that's exactly how I feel. Visually I can easily see smoothness difference between 144hz vs 240hz. but for performance after switch back and fort 10 times I really don't see improvements on my aim or skill. But from 60hz to 144hz my aim gets so much better. Also don't forget input lag. that's so much more important for performance than just pure smoothness. At the end of the day even if you downgrade from 240hz to 144hz your eyes get used to it in 1 hour and choppiness of 144hz disappear so fast and you don't see performance change. So 144hz still is standard in my opinion
U probably would say the same if u upgraded to 240 or 165@@pashkinodji9315
Why I downgraded from Koenigsegg to Pagani
me: why I downgraded from 60hz to a 30hz
Ok, you made me curious, I currently have an Asus 360 Hz, I also ordered a Benq with Dyac +, we'll see which is better.
Well, I'm after my private experience between ASUS 360 hz and Benq DYAC +. Unfortunately, I think all these videos on yt worshiping benq are over-exaggerated and prepaid .. Maybe there is some improvement with the blur, but the overshot is so big that it doesn't make sense. I'm going back to Asus. Benq for return :(
Benq is definitely overhyped and also this guy's videos literally show a different UFO blur results for same monitors on different videos to favor one or the other so I don't know what to believe. Look at his review on the Rank 1 Viewsonic Monitor where he puts a worse image for ASUS and Benq than the one in the original review of those monitors. It's like all of what he shows is to just make more people click his affiliate link for "the new best monitor for motion clarity"
dude the quality of your product reviews might be the best on all of youtube. You really go above and beyond to provide your viewers with as much information as possible and you focus on even the smallest details. Thank you!
me watching this with a 10 year old monitor:" hmmm, id like anything better"
Dual monitor setup but mine are 13 years old. No display port.... 😀
Then buy a new one? These videos are all just ads
@@rileyhance318 hmm never thought of it like that, thanks
@@chadmcvlad9794 if only there was some way to make money that had been thought of already. started with a j or something. oh its jonlyfans
is it a CRT?
My mind is blown on my ps5 doing 120 hz and this guy is “downgrading” to 240 hz
barely any difference with 120, 144, and 240. The most ideal experience is to get your fps and hz as close to each other.
most games on ps5 didn't support over 60 hz anyways lol.
tells you how much it really makes a diffence
i promise you almost all games on the ps5 are not running at 120fps. also, your TV needs to be 120hz which most are not. so, people saying oh i can see the 120hz on some $400 dollar tv are just full of it.
If this guy considers himself a casual, then I don't know what the definition of a pro gamer would look like o_o
someone whos so good that he gets paid to play the game.
Optimum, what are the stands you use for the Pavotubes?
I have the Asus VG259QM, it's UNBELEIVEABLE good. I use it with ELMB Sync + boosted colors and brightness but u can also use it with regular overdrive and its CRISP, 0 motion blur
"Why I went from billionaire to millionaire"
man, this video kept appearing in my recommendations, i really didn't care about ur damned downgrade . i clicked on it, i clicked it ! u happy now?! leave me alone !!!
This comment is so funny, dude got bullied into watching XD
Same thing here😂
60Hz -> 120/144Hz = HUGE upgrade // 120/144Hz -> 240Hz = BIG upgrade // 240Hz -> 360Hz = very small upgrade, not worth the trade off.
144 to 240 it aint mucb but you can feel it
@@Dualthumbguy I had a 240Hz monitor, and its a big jump. Almost as much as from 60-120. 240Hz feels smoother but the biggest thing is the input lag, everything feels instant.
@@owlmostdead9492 idk about you but it was not as much difference as i had with 60 to 144 my friend had 240 and yes it is a prretty good difference but not as big as 60 to 144
@@Dualthumbguy obviously depends on your reaction time, mine tops at 135-145 ms, so of course not everybody will notice it as much as I did
i really like asus VQ279QM its a 240 with overclock to 280 and 280 really works verry verry well. there is a noticeable diffrence just from 240-280 for me. 280 is just way smoother, less misses shots for me.
You have to do the test in slow motion
the quality of your videos are getting to good
I’m on 75 hertz and tried by brothers 144 hertz and omg my eyes
u will get used to it, and when you do u will never go back to 75 hz i can promise you that.
Hey Ali, how important would you say is the G-Sync Module? I currently own a AW3420DW (3440x1440, 120Hz, IPS, G-Sync Module) as my main, but study abroad and didn't manage to get that massive thing over to the other country. Now looking for a normal 1440p monitor as a temporary solution, but the G-Sync module ups the price from €300 (LG 27GN800) or €400 (LG 27GP850) to €700 for something like an AW 2721D. The Alienware also has 240Hz which I most likely won't need with my 3070Ti, playing mostly AAA shooters, and HDR600. Do you think the G-Sync module is a big deal? I honestly also don't want this temporary monitor to outshine my €900 Ultrawide, so that it looks bad compared to the new one when I get back to that thing :D
For something like 360 hz to really be worth it you’d need something like an OLED screen, the only mainstream tech that I think has the capability to capitalize on that high of a refresh rate. Current LCDs simply don’t have the pixel response time to keep up with that high of a refresh rate, so you’re not really getting the benefits in blur reduction you should be getting.
Obviously the ideal would be zero motion blur when tracking a moving object just like reality. But LCD pixels just can’t change colors fast enough to accurately reproduce motion at such an immense degree of smoothness. It may even be the practical physical limit of the technology, but who knows.
Are there even 360hz OLED monitors?
man all this computer talk is getting me excited again. After i bought all my parts and bullt my pc i've been really missing computer geeky stuff in my life.
