Solar, so I was reading you post about 144vs240. So I have a Asus XG258 TN panel I "run" at 240.

 

I bought the AW 27" 240hz IPS, but if I push it to 240 the monitor blacks out for .5-1 full second. Is that because its all BS @240 still?

 

IPS seemed to have way better color, so is a 2k IPS at 144 better than 1080 240?  All I do it bame.  Thanks!

    When u say "when i push it to 240hz the monitor blacks out for .5-1 second" do u mean it constantly does that, or just does it once then its fine ?

     

    If its constantly flickering like that at 240hz it could be caused by a variety of reasons, from a software issue on ur PC, to settings on the monitor itself, and ofc just having a faulty display.

    I would 1st try disabling variable refresh rate on the monitor and within windows. If its the display i think it is, its a newer freesync display, and if ur running a Nvidia GPU and the monitors firmware, or more likely, ur drivers are not up to date it may not be entirely Gsync compatible without them updated.

     

    As for 2k IPS 144hz  vs 1080p 240hz.  It depends entirely on the displays ur comparing. There are a bunch of 144hz  1440p IPS displays that have been reviewed, some are good, but equality u can now find good 1080p IPS 240hz displays, i know of 1 particular 1080 IPS 240hz display that has been reviewed and is excellent.

    The Acer Nitro XV273X .

    it performed exceptionally well for a 240hz monitor. VERY good factory calibration, good image quality, great response speed for a IPS, and from the looks of it also very well calibrated BFi.

    if u want to stick with IPS but also want 1080p 240hz, then consider it. otherwise to stick with IPS ull be looking at 1440p 144hz with the likes of the ASUS TUF VG27AQ or BenQ EX2780Q

    Yeah in does it all the time, drives me nuts, but if I turn it down to 144 then its solid. I have the 2080 TI EVGA, so I called them and they suggested a VESA cable, so I bought them, and changed nothing.

     

    It is a freesync not a true gsync https://deals.dell.com/en-us/productdetail/42da

    So I guess Ill be sending it back lol

     

    All drivers are UTD on mobo and all software and hardware. Even downloaded dell's monitor software and no luck

     

    IPS for sure seemed to have better colors or is that just me? with their monitor and settings they have make it look better?

     

    Thanks!

    Also does the monitors today have the tech to use all 240 and can we as humans tell the difference?

    Yes IPS has better picture quality over TN

    Specific picture settings used can improve the image quality but it has to be calibrated properly for best results and the specific calibration settings will vary from panel to panel even within the same model of display.

     

    Out of the 3 panel types IPS have an easier time reaching higher color coverage.

    VS TN they are superior in image quality but somewhat slower on pixel response.

     

    VA 'can' be just as accurate as IPS but its harder to do so the ones that are good are expensive, VA do however have far better contrast and black levels VS IPS which for some can make much more of a difference on the perceived picture quality over any small % difference in color coverage.

    VA however have a very hard time with pixel response speed on dark transitions which results in most suffering from higher levels of 'blur' which isnt great for gamers. Though again there are a few that are good enough, but they to are expensive. VA is no good for 240hz though, and hile u may find a few displays that are VA and 240hz being sold, u should stear clear of them as VA simply isnt fast enough to handle 240hz.
