Pantone is for colour, a display is not just about colour, you also have saturation, temperature, viewing angles, colour bit-depth, and various other parameters
For anyone wondering how to use BOTH Overdrive Extreme and Freesync: 1. Switch to HDMI 2. Set Mode to User 3. Set Freesync on 4. Set OD to Extreme 5. Switch back to DP 6.

please review the Acer VG271UP, it’s basically this monitor but in a 1440p variant and last time I checked it was under 400$ on amazon, something around 380 iirc, but thanks for making this review nevertheless!
well if it has same problem with overdrive mode being locked to normal when using freesync it's probably not worth the review. but if it hasn't sure; would be interesting : ]
@@matrixfull check out its review at rtings.com . They say the best overdrive mode for the 1440p variant is normal anyway. So that might become a non-issue then. But I'd really prefer HUB's review as it would be more detailed with the numbers.
@@exXoDia7 I own the 1440 varient and it's true. The extreme profile has tons of inverse ghosting. Enabling freesync still forces normal OD but I guess it's a non issue here.
It's a little bit confusing, since when you turn on Freesync, it will change OD to Normal, but after that, you can change it back to Extreme and Freesync will still be on.
if you put it on user setting you can switch overdrive to normal and its really smooth, you can also turn on ultra low latency, just got it the other day, very good purchase
I am from Singapore and I had bought this VG271P monitor two days ago. I am using HDMI input and is able to set Freesync On and OverDrive set to Extreme at the same time. VRB is grey out since refresh rate was set to 144Hz. Nvidia control panel has 8 & 12 bpc color depth choice.
*PSA* You CAN enable *Extreme Overdrive* w/ Freesync. Steps: 1. Turn ON Freesync on the Monitor with G-Sync *disabled* in Nvidia's Control Panel: this will allow you to change Overdrive while Freesync is On. 2. Switch Overdrive to Extreme on the Monitor. 3. Finally enable G-Sync in Nvidia Control Panel. NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE THE OVERDRIVE OPTION GRAYED OUT BUT SET TO *EXTREME* You can tell it's actually working because there's the smallest amount of overshoot and a much crisper image.
This monitor is one of my favorite purchases for PC gaming. I got it for $209 during the last Amazon sale and it easily kills monitors $50-60 more. The IPS difference is apparently immediately out of the box.
7:20 it's not just mid range tier monitors. I have the Acer Nitro XV272UP and Overdrive mode is set to normal and greyed out when Freesync option is enabled. And that's a 400-450$ monitor.
I have old 144 mhz Acer monitor and guess what; it won't do more than 60mhz unless you use DVI-D output ( which modern GPU's don't have and adapters even active ones are glitchy ) despite having HDMi input. Acer is always cutting stupid corners it seems.
well I knew nothing about monitors when I bought it year and half ago when my old LCD VGA monitor from 2003 -ish died; I asked few ppl that I trusted at the time what would good monitor be and they proposed 2 monitors; I decided for Acer. They didn't say anything about Acer monitor not supporting 144 mhz on HDMI. What the hell did I know: I checked all specifications on multiple sites about monitor but not a single one would mention anything about this crappiness. Why even bother supporting HDMI when it's not 144 mhz on 144mhz monitor; that's just dumb and misleading. Well either way it is what it is. I was dumb to trust them and not find someone who is actual monitor expert or something; but given that my old monitor was broken I didn't want to take too long to get new one so I ordered it in 2 days of research. ( while being kinda clueless coz I knew nothing about monitors ) But point being that Acer always cuts corners it seems. Like why on Earth would they lock to normal overdrive when Freesync is enabled? thats the stupidest thing ever.
This monitor is great. I got it 2 days ago for roughly 300 dollars (2500 sek) here in Sweden. The override issue is not an issue at least not now that I am aware of. I also had it greyed out saying normal but I just turned off g-sync, enabled extreme with free sync on and then I turned on g-sync and it works. I would 100% recommend this monitor. Also the speakers aren’t that bad at least for my preference since I use them a lot actually.
I'm using an acer xv253qp and it also greyed out. Using display Port cable. You can disable adaptive sync, turn off the overdrive/make it extreme, and the re-enable adaptive sync. It will say normal but it will actually be off/extreme. Testes freesync and it works. So you can definitely activate adaptive sync with custom overdrive

I just got started using Davinci Resolve for my videos and now I need a bigger monitor to display everything. A 1080p monitor no matter how fast doesn't cut it anymore.
The Best, i have aoc 24g2, acer vg271p, xb271hu and x34... 24g2 is very nice. No backlight bleed, no biggie glow. Very nice colors and very very similar to vg271p. 24g2 has clunkier menu controls but better stand, however 24g2’s stand do not rotate every direction like you would assume, but it’s not deal breaker for me. Xb271hu seems to have faster response times and clearer motion, but worse backlight glow. 24g2 and vg271p have also better colors and look a little better than xb271hu, if you don’t factor in resolution. One thing you should know 24g2 is very bright, even at brightness 0 it’s still maybe little too bright for easy watching in a dark room for some people. Other than that, no really complains, especially at this price point. Freesync works pefrectly with nvidia graphics. At least i haven’t had problems. Oh, and yeah 24g2 far better monitor speed wise for multiplayer pvp than that x34 but that shouldn’t be surprise as x34 is only 100hz. Overall i’d still pick x34 over any of these, you can’t beat ultrawide unless you solely only pvp multiplay. Hope this helps. EDIT: One last thing, 24g2 stand doesn’t go as low as my acer height adjustable stands. You can’t go as low as hugging the table, 24g2 stands little higher from the table. That could be also because it’s physically smaller as my other monitors. I don’t know but i thought that might be something to mention.
@@jaybee0507 And can you activate free-sync with overdrive extreme mode at the same time? Does this monitor have the same problems as the monitor from the video? What about backlight bleed in the lower right corner? Do you have it?
@@Ephas Yes, actually there is slight glowing in the lower right corner. I'm not sure if it's from the backlight or the power indicator light. I'd say it's pretty minor, far from my xb271hu and x34 glowing and bleed problems, especially considering those are far more expensive monitors. But yes i guess it isn't perfect either. Regarding response times, i can't do side by side testing with vg271 anymore since i gave it my son and it's physically in different location. Sadly i also won't be home until monday, but if you like and i remember i can then check if the extreme overdrive works with freesync (nvidia) and maybe freshen my memory about it's motion blur and response times as it's not my main gaming monitor or even second.
@@Ephas Hi! I can confirm Aoc 24g2u ips 144hz monitor does indeed let you use freesync with strong overdrive or with any overdrive mode for that matter. Aoc seems to call it "strong" while other monitor manufacturers usually call it "extreme". I have no idea about any response time figures as i don't have any tools to measure those. Maybe i could test that monitor out again later and give my impressions, but now i'm too hurry to play battlefield with the monitor i have used to play with, xb271hu :) EDIT: For the record, i have nvidia graphics card. I would assume it will work the same way with AMD, but i cannot really say for sure.
Great review video, as always! 'Why would you want a 144Hz 1080P monitor, a few reasons given...' OR I want to run triple monitors for racing at high FPS and top settings. I bought three ASUS VG279Q monitors and am totally satisfied, GSync works perfectly with surround on a 1080Ti :) A review on the ASUS VG279Q would be interesting to see how it compares to the Acer as they are very similar on paper specs.
Keep doing these reviews jsut like you do cobber, being honest, it's refreshing and was one of the main reasons I watched it from end to end, I had 3 of these in my cart at Officeworks, just emptied it so you save'd me 900 bucks, thankyou.
I have never seen such an indepth monitor review, and I almost wish I hadn't. Every other review said that this monitor was fantastic, but your analysis on the response times really opened my eyes, and now I'm questioning whether I want to buy this or not. Thank you, I guess?
Are there any plans to make a review of LG 27GL650F you briefly mentioned at the end of the video? I think it's a lot more interesting product rather than Acer's VG271P
Great work guys! Right on time! In my country this monitor is on sale at many retailers right now! Much appreciated, since I basically dodged a bullet thanks to you!
I have an acer vg270p. i can use freesync and switch overdrive mode. extreme mode shows minimal if any inverse ghosting. normal mode is blurry. looks like vg271p is buggy. no flickering problem. only bad thing is the startup time is longer than my benq when coming out of monitor sleep and sometimes doesn't wake up with display port. works fine with hdmi. this is on amd rx580.
Here is how you will Enable Overdrive Mode to Extreme Be sure G-Sync or Adaptive Sync is disable in PC Settings. 1.) Use a Display Port 1.4 2. Open Monitor OSD 3.) Set Overdrive Mode to Extreme 4.) Enable G-Sync or Adaptive Sync in PC
I don't really think we've got a "trivial oversight" here. Acer might have not allowed access to the extreme mode while using adaptive sync, because the overdrive performance deteriorates to much when dropping to lower refresh rates - a problem many adaptive sync monitors without G-Sync module face. Still they would have needed to provide a faster OD mode for use with AS, though. This way, the monitor basically does not have AS at all (which, in my opinion, is not that big a deal, but I realize I stand pretty much alone with that perspective nowadays :D).
I just received this monitor today. This guy is WRONG! You CAN turn on Over Drive and freesync at the SAME TIME. It is a bit confusing so it's understandable that he couldn't turn it on. To turn it on, you have to first go to mode, then select user. Then go to menu > gaming then turn off free sync, turn over drive to normal mode, then turn on free sync, then turn free sync off, then turn over drive to extreme mode, then turn on freesync.nFree sync will stay on and nothing will be greyed out. It does work! To the creator of this video, please make an update. I ALMOST sent this monitor back because of your video. I'm really glad I didn't, it's a really amazing monitor! Edit: just found out you can't turn it on at 144hz, I had a displayport cord that was only running at 60hz, but after reading, I believe you can turn both on by turning the monitor down to 125hz. I haven't been able to test this though because I just got a new cord today and had to go to work before I could test it.
@@reyesong9569 thanks for the reply! That's very interesting. I just bought a display port cable able to run 144hz 2k, but it still locks me out when I try to turn on freesync and extreme overdrive. It will however, set overdrive to normal mode when I turn on freesync.
Have you tried 144hz, freesync enabled, and overdrive on extreme via displayport yet? I just ordered it yesterday and will be filing a refund before they can even ship it if this is the case. Someone please respond asap. Thanks in advance.
I own the vg271up 1440p and vg252q. Honestly, those issue you mentioned doesn't really concern me. I usually play rainbow six, dota, Cs and recently Halo. The colouring is amazing for the price I paid for. So what I recommend is, if those OD and monitor software is an issue for you, you should try AOC as an cheaper alternative, or get LG or Aorus. Just sharing! I'll try to answer as much question to help if anyone needs it :)
Is power usage something important to consider in monitors? Is it pretty inconsistent throughout? If so here is me requesting some testing for it, if possible.
Tim you should test this monitor because of extremely good price for this specs ViewSonic® VX2758-2KP-MHD 144hz, 2560x1440, IPS, 10 bit (8 bit + FRC) 3ms. Here in europe it costs only ~ 325€ even cheaper than LG 32GK650F that costs ~ 375€ with VA panel.
To enable overdrive extreme and gsync at once on this monitor you first disable gsync if its currently on then go to monitor turn on freesync and set overdrive to extreme now also save the preset to 1 of the pre made profiles now go enable gsync in pc and itll stay on overdrive extreme this works for all tha VG0 monitors 23inch 27inch as long it has this OSD it should work, While 60FPS content looks really bad with overdrive extreme you switch your profiles with the acer software for instant switches of overdrive without going thru all the hassel.
Here’s to hoping we get a Red Dead Redemption 2 graphics guide. So many settings. Even with a 1080 Ti at 1440p I’m unable to hit 60fps at high or ultra settings.
Adjust volumetric quality and don't use full resolution ao. That should lift performance pretty well. Also opt for no msaa and only use taa (if you can tolerate taa that is, some people don't like it).
I would love to see a review for the DELL S2719DGF which is really popular in Europe. I will probably buy it on black friday... but I would like to have seen a review from Tim's expert eyes!
Please make a review of the Asus Tuf Gaming VG259Q. There are no reviews yet and I would love to know if it is worth the higher price over the AOC 24G2u.
As some people mentioned already, you should really have a look (and review) the new Aoc 24G2U and 27G2U. It looks like the best budget 1080p 144hz IPS monitor out there right now.
I don't suppose you will ever review AOC G24C1 monitor. Specifically it's pixel response with Medium overdrive across the refresh range like 60hz and 144hz. And Strong overdrive setting on 60hz and 144hz. As I have some info on the fact that Medium is the only viable overdrive setting if you plan to use freesync.
rewatched for comparison. nice review guys. been happy with the way u guys aren't doing the lookatme lookatme i'm cute lookatme behavior+filllers in your videos.
Any chance we can get videos on over building your system. Starting to get a lot of people pairing a 3600 with a 2080 super and then bringing the 2080 super back to the store because it is limited by the 3600
had the 24inch version of this for a few years and im gonig to upgrade to something 144hz 1440p so im curiosu to see whats avalible these days for a decent price
Is it possible you can review the Sceptre C305B-200UN. It is an oddity because it is a 29.5inch 1800R curved 2560*1080 VA panel with a freesync range of 48-200hz and a price tag of $299.
I had two VG271UP monitors (same as this but 1440p 144Hz and the price was 350€ a piece) and they were really good but the white uniformity was bad so I returned them. Now I'm allmost happy with my LG 32GK850F-B, picture is good but that black to white smearing is awful.
I was considering VG271UP but heard the stand was too wobbly. In the end i took Viewsonic vg2758-2kp-mhd which seems has same panel, freesync and 144Hz for 328€. So far very impressed.
i bought one of these about 2 years ago and now wanting to buy 2 more monitors for a 3 monitor set up. Should i just buy 2 more of these or some other model?
4:19 I think HDR only works over HDMI and not DP on this monitor, because its DP port is only version 1.2, which doesn't support most HDR stuff Same reason why HDR only works over HDMI and not DP on a GTX 900-series GPU It might work at lower resolution / refresh rates though
Is there a reason why there are no 24" 1080p 144hz IPS or even just 60hz IPS monitors but their color accuracy is to the level of monitors meant for photo and video editing?
even tho the ps5 doesnt support 1440p120 as of rn, im still thinking about buying this monitor since sony might add that feature in the future. If i dont want to downscale to 1080p fullscreen because i dont want a blurry image, is it possible to change the resolution on the monitor to a smaller 1080p screen (with black edges)? If so i can run 1080p120 with a sharp imagine and have the ability to use 1440 in the future or on my pc.
Hey man was thinking between this and the asus tuf vg27aq, is the Elmb sync worth it for the Asus or does this really beat it because of the price point thanks!
Can anyone answer my question. I've read a lot of reviews about this monitor and A LOT of people have said this monitor has a ton of flickering issues and bleeding. However, most of those reviews were posted last year, so I'm not sure if any of the 2020 panels fixed this issue. If you've bought this monitor, let me know how its been and what issues you may have with it (also tell me when you bought it). Thanks!

The Best, i have aoc 24g2, acer vg271p, xb271hu and x34... 24g2 is very nice. No backlight bleed, no biggie glow. Very nice colors and very very similar to vg271p. 24g2 has clunkier menu controls but better stand, however 24g2’s stand do not rotate every direction like you would assume, but it’s not deal breaker for me. Xb271hu seems to have faster response times and clearer motion, but worse backlight glow. 24g2 and vg271p have also better colors and look a little better than xb271hu, if you don’t factor in resolution. One thing you should know 24g2 is very bright, even at brightness 0 it’s still maybe little too bright for easy watching in a dark room for some people. Other than that, no really complains, especially at this price point. Freesync works pefrectly with nvidia graphics. At least i haven’t had problems. Oh, and yeah 24g2 far better monitor speed wise for multiplayer pvp than that x34 but that shouldn’t be surprise as x34 is only 100hz. Overall i’d still pick x34 over any of these, you can’t beat ultrawide unless you solely only pvp multiplay. Hope this helps. EDIT: One last thing, 24g2 stand doesn’t go as low as my acer height adjustable stands. You can’t go as low as hugging the table, 24g2 stands little higher from the table. That could be also because it’s physically smaller as my other monitors. I don’t know but i thought that might be something to mention.
@@jaybee0507 And can you activate free-sync with overdrive extreme mode at the same time? Does this monitor have the same problems as the monitor from the video? What about backlight bleed in the lower right corner? Do you have it?
@@Ephas Yes, actually there is slight glowing in the lower right corner. I'm not sure if it's from the backlight or the power indicator light. I'd say it's pretty minor, far from my xb271hu and x34 glowing and bleed problems, especially considering those are far more expensive monitors. But yes i guess it isn't perfect either. Regarding response times, i can't do side by side testing with vg271 anymore since i gave it my son and it's physically in different location. Sadly i also won't be home until monday, but if you like and i remember i can then check if the extreme overdrive works with freesync (nvidia) and maybe freshen my memory about it's motion blur and response times as it's not my main gaming monitor or even second.
@@jaybee0507 it would be nice, dude, thx for answers
@@Ephas Hi! I can confirm Aoc 24g2u ips 144hz monitor does indeed let you use freesync with strong overdrive or with any overdrive mode for that matter. Aoc seems to call it "strong" while other monitor manufacturers usually call it "extreme". I have no idea about any response time figures as i don't have any tools to measure those. Maybe i could test that monitor out again later and give my impressions, but now i'm too hurry to play battlefield with the monitor i have used to play with, xb271hu :)
EDIT: For the record, i have nvidia graphics card. I would assume it will work the same way with AMD, but i cannot really say for sure.
Great review video, as always!
'Why would you want a 144Hz 1080P monitor, a few reasons given...' OR I want to run triple monitors for racing at high FPS and top settings. I bought three ASUS VG279Q monitors and am totally satisfied, GSync works perfectly with surround on a 1080Ti :)
A review on the ASUS VG279Q would be interesting to see how it compares to the Acer as they are very similar on paper specs.
Hey do you still like your 279q
if you turn off sRBG mode you can enable both Freesync and extreme overdrive mode. Although I am not aware of what having sRGB on or off does.
Just grabbed one for $210 on Amazon. The 3 year warranty sold me.
Just did the exact same thing today!
@@TheAimlessMage Hey same, can i join this comment chain?
@@MrIrishfireball of course!
Haha Just got mine last night too for 210, I think the price went back up to 288 now
Lmao I bought it yesterday too
Keep doing these reviews jsut like you do cobber, being honest, it's refreshing and was one of the main reasons I watched it from end to end, I had 3 of these in my cart at Officeworks, just emptied it so you save'd me 900 bucks, thankyou.
I have never seen such an indepth monitor review, and I almost wish I hadn't. Every other review said that this monitor was fantastic, but your analysis on the response times really opened my eyes, and now I'm questioning whether I want to buy this or not. Thank you, I guess?
But his response times is because he didn't set it in user mode and set OD to extreme... so no, not a good and in depth review.
@@mortenrobinson
What do u mean, u can't change Over drive setting when freesync is enabled.
Hey Tim, could you please check the AOC 27G2? An IPS 144Hz panel that might have better features than this one
Are there any plans to make a review of LG 27GL650F you briefly mentioned at the end of the video? I think it's a lot more interesting product rather than Acer's VG271P
Many thanks to PC Case Gear for supporting Hardware Unboxed.
You guys deserve susbcribers in Billions.
Are you going to do a video on how to optimize Red Dead 2 for PC?! Those videos are fantastic and I wish I could give those vids like a million likes.
Will you do a RDR2 Performance benchmarks and optimized settings videos ?
Great work guys! Right on time! In my country this monitor is on sale at many retailers right now! Much appreciated, since I basically dodged a bullet thanks to you!
Unpopular opinion : I need IPS over response time because I like my colors, even in game with no AA.
same here
tn quality is trash. no colors. greyish blacks and bad viewing angles. no thanks. 1440p at 144 hz on an ips panel ftw.
I have an acer vg270p. i can use freesync and switch overdrive mode. extreme mode shows minimal if any inverse ghosting. normal mode is blurry. looks like vg271p is buggy. no flickering problem. only bad thing is the startup time is longer than my benq when coming out of monitor sleep and sometimes doesn't wake up with display port. works fine with hdmi. this is on amd rx580.
I can't trust any panel other than ips . But it has to have below 5ms response time
I just got an ASUS MG279Q, refurbished for $300, from New Egg.. Best deal I could find for an IPS Freesync 1440p monitor.
Here is how you will Enable Overdrive Mode to Extreme Be sure G-Sync or Adaptive Sync is disable in PC Settings.
1.) Use a Display Port 1.4
2. Open Monitor OSD
3.) Set Overdrive Mode to Extreme
4.) Enable G-Sync or Adaptive Sync in PC
Here is an alternative at 209$
AOC 27G2 27" Frameless Gaming IPS Monitor, FHD 1080P, 1ms 144Hz
I don't really think we've got a "trivial oversight" here. Acer might have not allowed access to the extreme mode while using adaptive sync, because the overdrive performance deteriorates to much when dropping to lower refresh rates - a problem many adaptive sync monitors without G-Sync module face. Still they would have needed to provide a faster OD mode for use with AS, though. This way, the monitor basically does not have AS at all (which, in my opinion, is not that big a deal, but I realize I stand pretty much alone with that perspective nowadays :D).
I just received this monitor today. This guy is WRONG! You CAN turn on Over Drive and freesync at the SAME TIME. It is a bit confusing so it's understandable that he couldn't turn it on.
To turn it on, you have to first go to mode, then select user. Then go to menu > gaming then turn off free sync, turn over drive to normal mode, then turn on free sync, then turn free sync off, then turn over drive to extreme mode, then turn on freesync.nFree sync will stay on and nothing will be greyed out. It does work!
To the creator of this video, please make an update. I ALMOST sent this monitor back because of your video. I'm really glad I didn't, it's a really amazing monitor!
Edit: just found out you can't turn it on at 144hz, I had a displayport cord that was only running at 60hz, but after reading, I believe you can turn both on by turning the monitor down to 125hz. I haven't been able to test this though because I just got a new cord today and had to go to work before I could test it.
I am using this monitor as well and is able to activate both freesync and extreme mode with 144Hz. Using the HDMI cable provided by Acer and not DP.
@@reyesong9569 thanks for the reply! That's very interesting. I just bought a display port cable able to run 144hz 2k, but it still locks me out when I try to turn on freesync and extreme overdrive. It will however, set overdrive to normal mode when I turn on freesync.
@@reyesong9569 You must have an AMD GPU then. NVIDIA cards only supports adaptive sync through DP.
Have you tried 144hz, freesync enabled, and overdrive on extreme via displayport yet? I just ordered it yesterday and will be filing a refund before they can even ship it if this is the case. Someone please respond asap. Thanks in advance.
@@nicolaspasquale5156 that's exactly how I tried it and it doesn't let me set it to extreme mode, so it might be the displayport but idk
Quality review and just saved me a grand on 3 of these in Australia, well done, I bought the 32GK650f-b after watching your review
I own the vg271up 1440p and vg252q. Honestly, those issue you mentioned doesn't really concern me. I usually play rainbow six, dota, Cs and recently Halo. The colouring is amazing for the price I paid for. So what I recommend is, if those OD and monitor software is an issue for you, you should try AOC as an cheaper alternative, or get LG or Aorus. Just sharing!
I'll try to answer as much question to help if anyone needs it :)
i cant get 144hz only 120
The AOC 24G2 is the best 1080p/144hz monitor out there. 1500:1, 126 RGB gamut, Very good response time and Gsync support.
Is power usage something important to consider in monitors? Is it pretty inconsistent throughout? If so here is me requesting some testing for it, if possible.
Tim you should test this monitor because of extremely good price for this specs ViewSonic® VX2758-2KP-MHD 144hz, 2560x1440, IPS, 10 bit (8 bit + FRC) 3ms.
Here in europe it costs only ~ 325€ even cheaper than LG 32GK650F that costs ~ 375€ with VA panel.
when ya say "WOW" looking at the IPS monitor screen while watching this vid on a TN monitor.
I am watching on amoled phone and saying wow ;
Lmao
To enable overdrive extreme and gsync at once on this monitor you first disable gsync if its currently on then go to monitor turn on freesync and set overdrive to extreme now also save the preset to 1 of the pre made profiles now go enable gsync in pc and itll stay on overdrive extreme this works for all tha VG0 monitors 23inch 27inch as long it has this OSD it should work, While 60FPS content looks really bad with overdrive extreme you switch your profiles with the acer software for instant switches of overdrive without going thru all the hassel.
Here’s to hoping we get a Red Dead Redemption 2 graphics guide. So many settings. Even with a 1080 Ti at 1440p I’m unable to hit 60fps at high or ultra settings.
Adjust volumetric quality and don't use full resolution ao. That should lift performance pretty well. Also opt for no msaa and only use taa (if you can tolerate taa that is, some people don't like it).
@@MLWJ1993 Settings are already where you're suggesting. I never use MSAA, too expensive. TAA plus Nvidia Sharpen filter does quite well.
Appreciate your videos.....Please do a review of ACER VG240YS 165hz 1080p IPS monitor... Thankyou
Take a look at the new AOC 24G2U please!
I would love to see a review for the DELL S2719DGF which is really popular in Europe. I will probably buy it on black friday... but I would like to have seen a review from Tim's expert eyes!
Most Acer monitors I've seen have dat IPS glow but they do look pretty
Please make a review of the Asus Tuf Gaming VG259Q. There are no reviews yet and I would love to know if it is worth the higher price over the AOC 24G2u.
I have the VG240.. and I can set it to adaptive sync while using extreme mode
me too lol on this exact same model though
Can you take a look at AOC 24g2? Its cheap and should be one of the best budget IPS panels right now..Thx
As some people mentioned already, you should really have a look (and review) the new Aoc 24G2U and 27G2U. It looks like the best budget 1080p 144hz IPS monitor out there right now.
We don't have that monitor in Portugal but now AOC 24G2 just arrived.
Do you recommend 24G2 or 27G2? The € difference isn't 2 much...
I don't suppose you will ever review AOC G24C1 monitor. Specifically it's pixel response with Medium overdrive across the refresh range like 60hz and 144hz. And Strong overdrive setting on 60hz and 144hz. As I have some info on the fact that Medium is the only viable overdrive setting if you plan to use freesync.
I'm watching this video with that monitor I got it for Christmas and I love it. It is a very good monitor
rewatched for comparison.
nice review guys.
been happy with the way u guys aren't doing the lookatme lookatme i'm cute lookatme behavior+filllers in your videos.
When will red dead redemption 2 game graphics optimization video will be out?
It'd still be useful to know its response times on the extreme mode.
Is 31.5" 1080p 144hz is a good monitor? Or is is it too big for 1080p? How blurry does it go?
Any chance we can get videos on over building your system. Starting to get a lot of people pairing a 3600 with a 2080 super and then bringing the 2080 super back to the store because it is limited by the 3600
finally a video that shows the GtG response time for this panel
i buy LG 27GL850 after i watch hardware unboxed review it. and LG 27GL850 is so awesome. i love it.
my asus stand weighs more than this monitor :O
Would love a review from you on BenQ ex2780q 1440p 144hz 1ms
had the 24inch version of this for a few years and im gonig to upgrade to something 144hz 1440p so im curiosu to see whats avalible these days for a decent price
Which one do you recommend me to buy Acer Nitro VG270 bmiix Full HD 1920x1080 75Hz or AOC 27G2U5/BK 27 75Hz ?
Is it possible you can review the Sceptre C305B-200UN. It is an oddity because it is a 29.5inch 1800R curved 2560*1080 VA panel with a freesync range of 48-200hz and a price tag of $299.
I had two VG271UP monitors (same as this but 1440p 144Hz and the price was 350€ a piece) and they were really good but the white uniformity was bad so I returned them. Now I'm allmost happy with my LG 32GK850F-B, picture is good but that black to white smearing is awful.
I was considering VG271UP but heard the stand was too wobbly. In the end i took Viewsonic vg2758-2kp-mhd which seems has same panel, freesync and 144Hz for 328€. So far very impressed.
Please review the Acer VG240YP, it's another 1080p 144 hz monitor at 24 inches
These acers with HDR10 have a hugh advantage BT1886 color space its perfect considering the selection of HDR games
i bought one of these about 2 years ago and now wanting to buy 2 more monitors for a 3 monitor set up. Should i just buy 2 more of these or some other model?
4:19 I think HDR only works over HDMI and not DP on this monitor, because its DP port is only version 1.2, which doesn't support most HDR stuff
Same reason why HDR only works over HDMI and not DP on a GTX 900-series GPU
It might work at lower resolution / refresh rates though
A week ago I bought this monitor and trust me i will never regret my decision. I mean 144hz ips with HDR ready too.? Fuck yeah
So it's worth it?
@@reecethegamer hell yeah man
Samsung VA is the same.When in freesync it reverts to normal mode as well
AOC released a new IPS monitor in that price range. AOC C27G2, what are your thoughts of this product?
1:25 YEEEEAS AND YEEEEEAS
Is there a reason why there are no 24" 1080p 144hz IPS or even just 60hz IPS monitors but their color accuracy is to the level of monitors meant for photo and video editing?
even tho the ps5 doesnt support 1440p120 as of rn, im still thinking about buying this monitor since sony might add that feature in the future. If i dont want to downscale to 1080p fullscreen because i dont want a blurry image, is it possible to change the resolution on the monitor to a smaller 1080p screen (with black edges)? If so i can run 1080p120 with a sharp imagine and have the ability to use 1440 in the future or on my pc.
Hey man was thinking between this and the asus tuf vg27aq, is the Elmb sync worth it for the Asus or does this really beat it because of the price point thanks!
Acer nitro vg271u 2k IPS 144hz 27 inch vs Lg 32gk650f-b 2k VA 144hz 32 inch which is better buy
1080p is still valid because of all the UI and font scaling issues that still abound using 1440p. That's my reason.
I have the VG271U and I CAN enable override extreme with adaptive sync...
Can anyone answer my question. I've read a lot of reviews about this monitor and A LOT of people have said this monitor has a ton of flickering issues and bleeding. However, most of those reviews were posted last year, so I'm not sure if any of the 2020 panels fixed this issue. If you've bought this monitor, let me know how its been and what issues you may have with it (also tell me when you bought it). Thanks!
I have acer VG240Y PBIIP and I am able to set overdrive on extreme while having freesync enabled! Overdrive never greys out when I enable freesync.
Would the overdrive issue even matter if you were using it for PlayStation or Xbox?
This for $200 or the Sceptre for $150. I think I really want the ips panel. And a non-walmart brand is also nice
what about Acer Nitro XV270P , i thought it's the same model until i check it up.
