Response time!

[shihabbb]

Is there any way to check what response time my monitor is running? The one that I am using (ASUS VG248QG) is advertised .5ms and it has some feature called ELMB which can only be enabled if I am running the monitor in 120hz.

 

As per Asus's website:

0.5ms* response time for smooth gameplay, and ASUS Extreme Low Motion Blur (ELMB) Technology to further reduce ghosting and motion blur

 

So should I run it in 120hz to get .5ms or will I get .5ms if I am running it in 165hz?

 

Just a bit confused here.

 

I'd love for some feedbacks here.

Thanks.

General advice is that:

1. Manufacturer advertised response times are little more than advertising spiel; don't read too much into them
2. If you're satisfied with the experience at the moment, you will gain nothing from obsessing over exactly what response time you are getting

 

In other words: don't worry about it.

Yeah I did hear manufactures tend to do that and in terms of experience this is the first monitor I am using with lower response time and to be honest I couldn't tell any difference.. maybe I have faulty eyes  thats why I wanted to know for sure if it is running .5ms or whatever it is running..

ELMB is backlight strobing. Its used to reduce persistence blur. It can help, it will reduce brightness somewhat (in most cases).

It can however, also in most cases, cause strobe crosstalk (moving image duplication), so just turn it on and see if ur ok with it.

 

make sure your overdrive setting is set to the most appropriate setting* for the average refresh your screen runs at (if using variable refresh), as the setting u shoudl use will , in most cases, be different if ur for exampel running 60hz or 80hz, or 120hz etc.

 

 

*ull need to find a review that specifically tests for this, or just go by eye. generally speaking the highest setting isnt always the best, the one below it is.
