Should i get Asus Rog Swift PG279Q?

[Sabir]

My main question is if i buy this monitor. Can i get 165Hz refresh rate any video i watch like Movies, YouTube , etc ? Is refresh rate and fps is same? 

Info: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q Gaming Monitor - 27" 2K WQHD (2560 x 1440) IPS, overclockable 165Hz, G-SYNC™

Not really. Most movies are recorded in 24fps and youtube (AFAIK) only goes to 60fps. As for games, whether you will be able to hit 165 depends on what system you have.

The monitor's nice, I have one.  You'll have to turn down the default brightness though unless you want an indoor sunburn.

Yeah true. This monitor would really only be useful if you were gaming (and you had a system that could run it)

No. 

 

• Refresh rate is the times per second your monitor refreshes the image (or more accurately, each rgb led on each pixel (assuming led monitor))
• FPS is how many frames per second your graphics card (or iGPU) has rendered.
  • If your graphics card is rendering more frames per second than your refresh rate of your monitor, then you might experience tearing. Click here for example. It's basically where your montior picks up part of one rendered frame and part of another which appears as a 'tear' on your screen.
  • If your graphics card (or iGPU) is pushing fewer frames that the refresh rate of your monitor, then the monitor will display the same image until it receives the next frame.
  • If you have exactly the same FPS and refresh rate then it will be all good

However, getting back to the point about tearing. The montior you linked in your post has Nvidia G-Sync which will match the refresh rate of your montior (assuming you have an Nvidia graphics card). This will prevent tearing without the need for V-Sync which is software based.

 

Hope this helped

Whats that mean?

I'm saying the default brightness is very, very bright.  You'll likely have to turn it down.

It will be bad for my eyes if i don't turn it down? And how much % you down your brightness? When you play games or watch movies?

I suppose it's subjective per person.  To put it in numerical perspective, I believe the default brightness setting was 80 when I powered it on the first time.  I turned it down to 35.  I haven't had a need to change brightness, modes, color temperature, etc. when I do different things on the monitor beyond that initial change.

 

There's a lot of options to customize the output on that screen.

This monitor is beast. When you brought it? And peoples said there is back light problem. When you play some dark or horror type of games it will bother you.

IPS monitors sometimes have light bleed.  Some more than others.  I've never had a problem with it.  However, I also don't play in the dark that often, but I have played games with dark color schemes, example, sneaking through caves, and I've never had a problem with it.  I suppose because of its brightness gamma adjustment can sometimes be a pain, but you could manually adjust the brightness or contrast for that as well.

Thanks for the help. But still not much understand about fps and refresh rate. Because my English is bad But i think i kind of understand.

Nice.Should i check dead pixel , bright pixel , stuck pixel before i buy? And how to check them? 

[PineyCreek]

You're going to have to buy it and take it out of the box.  There are standards each manufacturer follows for returning monitors for dead pixels or stuck pixels (number, location, etc.), which is why I would rather have a local store with a return policy for things like that.  My monitor had one pixel that was stuck on red near the bottom but it didn't have a problem after about a day of use.

If you're not planning on Gaming with it, and your Nvidia Graphics card, there is no point in getting an expensive G-Sync monitor.

 

For Youtube, videos etc only, this Monitor is a very very bad choice.

 

i really wonder why noone was asking if you even plan on gaming or not... 

 

 

So.... What is the Rest of your PC Hardware?

What all do you want to do with this Monitor?

 

OT: gotta love the Asus marketing-people... Advertising the Monitor as 2k, when 2k is actually 1080p

Refresh Rate: How often the Monitor refreshes the Image it shows.

 

Example: 60 Hz = new Cycle every 16,67 milli seconds.

Every 16,67 milliseconds it refreshes the Image, and displays whatever the latest information is.

 

Higher Refresh Rate = it refreshes the image more often.

You can see the difference in slow motion here: 

 

 

 

fps = Frames per  Second. How much frames per Second your Graphics Card can calculate when playing a videogame.

 

Maybe you can understand a Youtube video more easily, where they might visualize it for you: 

 

I see you're from bangladesh... sorry, if i'm totally wrong.

 

If you speak hindi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_soGEGxeTEw

Found it randomly on Youtube. But i have no idea, if he explains it well.

I have an ips display which does have noticable backlight bleed along with one dead pixel right in the top left of the screen which puts a red dot on my recycle bin in windows
