"cost-effective choice for budget gamers" according to Tom's Hardware review. See More
The picture quality of the ASUS XG27VQ is one of the best among all gaming monitors in this price range. This is due to its VA panel that offers high native contrast ratio, excellent peak brightness, great gamma, and fair color accuracy. The XG27VQ does an excellent job of reproducing deep dark scenes, bright and vivid colors, and some eye-catching intermediate tones. The monitor can reproduce beautiful dark scenes thanks to its native contrast ratio of 3000:1 which allows it to display intense blacks. Colors look bright and vibrant thanks to the monitor's high peak brightness of 300 nits. Mid-tones look life-like because of the panel's nearly ideal average gamma of 2.25. Additionally, the monitor's color inaccuracies are almost invisible to the human eye as its average color error dE is only 2.6. See More
This monitor has multiple tools that enable it to display clear and blur-less motion even in the fastest FPS games, allowing this VA panel to compete against faster TN gaming monitors in this price range. First, the artificial motion blur effect is virtually eliminated by the aid of ASUS's Extreme Low Motion Blur feature, which makes this LCD monitor behave more like CRT monitors. Second, the monitor doesn't suffer from heavy ghosting as each pixel of the ASUS XG27VQ can change its color in 4ms. Finally, the motion appears smooth and fluid because of the monitor's native refresh rate of 144 Hz, which enables it to display up to 144 frames each second. See More
Even though no one has tested the monitor's input lag yet, it seems to be within the four-millisecond range according to the general user reviews and the input lag tests of other ASUS ROG monitors from 2016-2017. Such input lag makes the ASUS XG27VQ one of the most responsive monitors in its price range. The input lag of a monitor corresponds to the time delay between a GPU producing a frame and the monitor processing it. The lower the input lag, the more responsive and connected your gaming experience will be. See More
The ASUS XG27VQ makes your overall gaming experience more immersive as its 1800R curved panel gives you the sensation of the screen surrounding you. Additionally, the panel's curvature minimizes viewing angles on the sides of the monitor which noticeably improves the overall visual consistency of the panel. See More
The overall picture quality of the Acer Predator XB241H is on par with the majority of gaming monitors in this price range. It has reasonable contrast ratio and high peak brightness. The monitor can display crisp and vivid colors as well as some average-looking dark scenes. Colors look genuinely luminous thanks to the monitor's peak brightness of 350 nits. Dark scenes look mediocre as the monitor's native contrast ratio of 1000:1 is not high enough to push its blacks to highly intense levels. See More
The XB241H doesn’t have the best viewing angles as even a slight, 10-degree angle between the viewer and the panel will result in total color and shadow degradation. This is a common issue for TN panels in this price range. However, as the monitor has an extensive range of ergonomic adjustments, you can regulate its position so that your viewing angle remains ideal. See More
The Acer XB241H displays motion smoothly, without artificial motion blur or ghosting effects because of the monitor's fast pixel response time and high refresh rate. Fast-moving objects on screen don't leave noticeable trails as each pixel can change its color within only one millisecond because of the monitor's full pixel response time of 1 ms. The image looks clear and fluid since the monitor refreshes every 5.55 ms. This is caused by the monitor's native refresh rate of 180 Hz. See More
Even though no reputable source has tested the input lag of this monitor yet, after evaluating the overall user experience and the input lag tests of other Acer monitors from 2015-2016, it is clear that the input lag of this monitor is most likely to be within the 4.5 ms range. It's a rather good result because it is on par with what the most responsive panels in this price range offer. Input lag is a monitor's delay that is caused by the onboard image processing. Having this value as low as possible is essential in gaming. See More
The Acer XB241H has one of the fastest panels in its price range. Once overclocked, its native refresh rate can reach a whopping 180 Hz. High refresh rate can give you an advantage over your opponents who play on slower monitors because you'll receive faster image updates. For example, a 180 Hz monitor will be on average 11 ms ahead of a corresponding 60 Hz one, entirely due to the higher refresh rate. The overclocking procedure for the Acer XB241H is straightforward and can be done via the OSD. It imposes no danger to the hardware. The native refresh rate of a monitor corresponds to the number of frames it can show each second. For example, a 180 Hz monitor can display up to 180 frames a second. See More
Regarding its picture quality, the ZOWIE XL2720 is on par with the majority of gaming monitors in this price range as it offers sufficient contrast ratio, peak brightness, color accuracy, and gamma response. While the monitor's dark scene performance is mediocre, it can still display vivid and accurate colors and eye-catching intermediate tones. It can recreate average-looking dark scenes with blacks that are neither overly flat, nor profound as the monitor's native contrast ratio is limited to 915:1. The colors pop and appear relatively accurate since the ZOWIE XL2720 combines relatively high peak brightness of 315 nits with almost unnoticeable color accuracy error dE of 2.2. Mid-tones look good and saturated thanks to the monitor's gamma response of 2.06 which is only 6.3% away from the ideal value. See More
The monitor's excellent motion handling capabilities allow the BenQ ZOWIE XL2720 to display fast-paced content free from motion blur and ghosting because of its panel's high native refresh rate and fast pixel response time. Motion blur and ghosting effects are eliminated by the panel's quick pixels that need only one millisecond to change their color because of the monitor's full pixel response time of 1 ms. Such fast color change prevents fast-moving objects from leaving artificial trails. The monitor’s 144 Hz panel refreshes every seven milliseconds making motion appear smooth and fluid. See More
The monitor's input lag stays at the fantastically low value of 3.2 ms making the ZOWIE XL2720 one of the most responsive gaming monitors in its price range. A monitor’s input lag represents the delay between your GPU generating a frame and the frame starting to appear on your monitor. See More
The ZOWIE XL2720 causes noticeably less eye strain than the majority of competitors in its price range because the monitor is flicker-free and has a mode that reduces the intensity of blue light. Backlight flickering and high-intensity blue light emitted by LEDs are among the main factors related to eye fatigue that is caused by extensive use of computer monitors. See More
When using the sRGB preset, which is particularly useful for color-sensitive work, the grayscale error readings of the U2879VF are quite low for a relatively inexpensive panel. The error measures 0.93 Delta E which is only a tad worse than specially-designed graphical displays which retail for a much larger price. For comparison, a standard 28" TN panel measures at 1.60 Delta E, with lower values being generally better. See More
The AOC U2879VF uses a 4K-display with a resolution of 2160 x 3840 pixels, which is four times the amount of pixels of a Full HD display. This results in an extremely sharp image and overall great image quality. In terms of pixel density (measured in pixels per inch), this display measures at 163 ppi. For comparison, a Full HD display of the same size will only achieve half of that at 81.5 pixels per inch. See More
The ASUS VG248QE performs on par with the majority of gaming monitors in its price range as it offers lag-free gaming experience with reasonably well-handled motion. With this monitor, you will never feel behind because of its small input lag of only 5.1 ms. Even though there are faster gaming monitors in this price range, it is almost impossible that a regular human being might perceive such tiny delay. The motion also looks quite good, since it is handled by the monitor's fast full pixel response time. Measured at only 1 ms, it ensures that each pixel of the ASUS VG248QE can change its color within only a single millisecond. Note that to experience the 1 ms full pixel response time, you need to max out the monitor's overdrive setting, which might introduce some unwanted artifacts. See More
Being one of the fastest gaming monitors in this price range, the ASUS MG248Q offers smooth and lag-free gaming experience. Even the professional players will not feel any monitor lag while playing on the MG248Q as its total display lag of 3.75 ms isn't something a human body can perceive. The monitor's input lag is very important in gaming, as it tells us how much time does it take for a monitor to process a frame generated by a computer's GPU. Also, the ASUS MG248Q doesn't suffer from motion blur, and, thus, displays clear and good-looking motion. This is possible mainly because of the monitor's rapid full pixel response time, which forces each pixel of the MG248Q to change its color within only 3.2 milliseconds. Additionally, the monitor's 144 Hz panel displays a new frame every seven milliseconds, which makes the motion appear much smoother than on a corresponding 60 Hz monitor. See More
