@DayzMennis "we had 240hz on crt at 1080p years ago"? Hell no we didn't. 1080p CRTs were damn expensive and they didn't go nearly that high in refresh rate. If you had very deep pockets maybe you had a monitor that could reach 1080p or even 2048x1536 and 120 Hz, but the average gamer settled on 1600x1200 and 75 Hz if they had a decent 19". My last CRT was an entry level 17" and I settled on 1024x768 at 85 Hz; I could go as high as 1280x1024, but 60 Hz on a CRT was painful to watch because of the flicker.

You should have mentioned the double strobbing pattern that happens when you dip below around 100 fps. In that case, the display starts to flash the *same* frame multiple times which causes double vision while your eyes are moving. This actually cannot be avoided because the pulse width must be decided at the *start* of the frame and if the gaming system experiences frame drop it will be known only at the time the next frame should come. Unless the monitor can see into the future, there's no way to solve this perfectly. Basically, the physics force that you can select up to 3 of these: 1. Variable frame rate. 2. No double vision. 3. No motion blur (that is, black frame insertion is enabled). 4. No one frame input latency. ELMB-Sync is selecting 1, 3 and 4. Most gaming monitors select 1, 2 and 4. And VG27AQ can be changed to select 1, 2 and 4 by disabling ELMB-SYNC. TV sets that support black frame insertion may select 1, 2 and 3 (accept 1 frame lag to know how long a single frame will be displayed) or 2, 3 and 4 (black frame insertion without variable frame support, for example Samsung MU6100 series.). In reality, most TV sets actually select 2 and 4 because that's the easiest to implement.

Thank u for the review. What do you think about using this monitor for graphic professional work? for photography or print?

So I'd like to see some form of test if that would be the case with this one as well.

Bought, fine Monitor. One thing i did nopt notice in this video(but it seems to be present there): you have a "noticable" black border between what is used for displaying content and the actual monitor frame. Could not get it reduced. looking closer on this video, it seems to be present there, too.

Back in 2013 when I built my last system I thought to switch to 4k with my next build. Now in 2019 it seems further away than ever. A perfect monitor has IPS, 4k, 144hz, low response time, adaptive sync, back light strobing, full hdr (=high nits for brightness), proper illumination zones AND costs about 500 Bucks. Until that is available (and affordable) I will stick to my high end 1080p 144hz monitor. No reason to upgrade, especially since graphics cards can't run games at 4k 144 anyhow.

Mainly when it's below the flicker threshold for the person using it, and it depends on the person using it as well as the technical implementation used. Back in the day most people had 75-90 Hz CRTs (yes yes there were faster ones, but MOST people), and TVs were 50 or 60 Hz depending on your region, and these complaints were indeed more common, especially when using TVs as monitors/having them too close (it tends to be worse when the monitor covers more of your field of view, so watching at a flickering TV from many meters away isn't as bad as having your nose against it). But then again incandescent lamps also flicker at 50 or 60 Hz (mains power frequency), and fluorescent lamps can flicker at a variety of frequencies depending on their design and condition of the ballast, and most people don't notice that when the lamps are functioning as intended (a failing fluorescent light is very noticeable tho). Movies were traditionally shown by projecting the film to a big screen at around 24 frames per second (i.e. 24 Hz flicker frequency), though later double shuttering started to become used, increasing the flickering rate (movie still shown at 24 frames per second, but each frame shown twice for a flicker frequency of 48 hz). AFAIK movies get away with this partly because of the brightness, the higher the brightness, the faster the rate needs to be to prevent noticeable flickering. From what I can find your average movie theater might reach 50 nits, and IMAX might be 100 nits, vs. any decent monitor hitting 300 nits at peak brightness, best HDR ones hitting 1000 nits. So very much down to the technique used. From my personal experience (I'm fairly sensitive to these effects) the PWM flicker that happens at low brightness levels on some monitors, which has recently been the biggest cause of these issues, is worse than the CRT flicker back in the day was at 60 Hz for me (for reference 75 Hz was better but still a bit of an issue after a while for me, 90 Hz was pretty much fully OK). Worth noting is that the flicker on those is worse due to technical reasons, even if the display is dim, which should make flickering easier to avoid. On some modern TVs the black frame insertion modes are completely unusable flickery messes, but on others they're totally fine. The low persistence (i.e. flickering) behavior of the OLED screens on the Oculus Rift at 90 Hz is totally fine for me. Movie theaters are fine for me for the most part. So this is not a simple question of "backlight strobing causes headaches and tiredness" full stop, it's a complex bundle of things, where different technologies, implementations and personal sensitivities factor into the whole. A good implementation of the technology used at a reasonable brightness level, and the vast majority of people should do just fine, thoguh some are really sensitive to these issues and might never be able to use them. On the topic of brightness btw, almost all display calibration programs recommend 120 nits as a standard peak brightness to calibrate to, I prefer 90-100 nits for my lighting conditions. There's almost never a reason to use 300 nits or more unless you're using HDR, where the point is that the AVERAGE brightness is still fairly low, just that the brightest peaks can hit high numbers.

@@jubuttib a good explanation; also there is a difference depending on the backlight type: LED backlights are essentially squarewaves on/off/on/off constantly (this is with the common PWM driver, constant current drivers adjust the voltage to dim the LED without flickering, which if you ask me makes more sense if you are not drastically power limited), old fluo backlights for LCDs were more of a sine wave (much like the incandescent bulbs) so it was less "brutal", I found that purely OLED displays, tend to be less objectionable (at least the ones I've seen on mobiles) because of their slow refresh rate and because they are both the luminance and chroma source; so the "blur" in mobile OLED screens actually acts to smooth things out...

Yes. Almost nobody here actually knows about Pulse-Width Modulation or how backlights work; or the fact that all high quality monitors completely stopped using PWM years ago and have absolutely no flickering at all at any brightness. Direct Current is more expensive to manufacture than PWM; that's the only con, and only corporations care about that. Almost all these replies are confusing backlight modulation with refresh rate of the active matrix on top of the backlight. Linus' employees themselves don't know much about technology either and just google things to a very basic understanding to make production deadlines. Do not buy this monitor or any other that still strobes your eyes hundreds of times a second. It is not 2004 anymore.

Quick note that this is the price for the 27” version. There may possibly be cheaper ones at smaller sizes. This is still cheaper than the Ben Q, 27”, 60 hertz monitor I bought like maybe five years ago. Not by a lot, but still. This monitor looks appealing as hell!

I got a pair of these last week. It should be worth noting that the shape of the back of this monitor makes it hard to install them on a desk mounted dual or triple monitor holder, the particular holder I purchased made by Deltaco had these plates that were supposed to be screwed on the back of the monitor and then slid into the arm socket, but the shape of the monitor didn't allow for this so I had to slide on the plates first and then screw them on the monitors, which added to the difficulty of setting it up.

HDR aside monitor is very dim in the sRBG mode and unusablely dim with the low motion blur setting(many settings and presets disable the brightness slider, far larger hit to brightness than you would expect). all other visual presets are garbage extremely over saturated or discoloured colours blending and washing out. no "normal" mode preset or a way to create one. many settings get disabled whatever preset you choose(also wtf is the red and gray scale "moba mode" ?. The factory reset default setting is 60hz "racing"?? with the majority of the settings disabled until you change to fps, scenery or cinima modes, also no HDR in cinima mode which gives you the best contrast) I was primarily interested in it for the 165hz/gsync which works fine but mine will go completely black (emits no light, power LED stays on) for 3-4 seconds randomly, I can be playing a game or watching a video and the screen just conks out for a few once or twice a day. I have tried resetting all the settings and messing around with refresh rates, resultions and presets but nothing stops it from going black, as well as a couple different cables I am currently using the supplied DP cable and it happened while writing this. Asus support has not been terribly helpful, my only option is to mail it away for a repair (I feel they should really replace a two week old monitor acting up) and they will charge me if they are unable to reproduce my issues... which has me not feeling too great. When I informed them I never received the RMA shipping label they said they would escalate it to the appropriate department, I quote: "The escalate would take 24-48 business hours." six days later at time of writing and nothing yet. it just really feels like a mess back to the feature set, the gimmick "gamePlus" options are all useless and not customizable, timers are fixed length, crosshair is fixed position, FPS counter is ugly and MASSIVE, the sniper practice mode is admitidly kinda neat if you find a game that works with it. I went from feeling like I got a fair deal on it to feeling pretty badly burned at this time, also at this price point a cheesy two port USB hub would have been a nice touch. I am not one to have strong brand alegances but this has really changed my opinion on Asus.

Watching this in 2021 with my Asus VG27AQ, couldn't be happier :D

lol so I can see LTT is catching on to MC being in rn. I like it

Why does this dude remind me of Kirk Douglas? Next video please try to impersonate.

I came out scratching my head more after watching this

When using the new function the screen is even less bright during gaming. Use G sync only if you already purchased this monitor.

I vouch for the tuf lineup. Got a TUF laptop with gtx 1650, performs fairly well !

This was a great video for educational reasons. I enjoyed the science of how our eyes work to track objects and motion. (:

bottles my mind how 429 usd comes to 831 cad on amazon.ca. how is there 260 cad in shipping

Just got one for 370 including tax through Staples. They've dropped significantly.

This was supported for G-Sync and LightBoost with a hack called Strobelight. I have been using Strobelight since the XL2411T came out...

My Eizo Monitor does this Backlight Strobing already for some years (w/o the variable framerate though). I've had it activated at the start for Counter Strike, but it made me tired really quick, so I0v e had it deactivated since.(120 hz to 240 hz with strobing, Monitor was 699 CHF)

So this over the LG 27GL850-B 27" you refrence in the video?

​@@Matt-sn2ub I doesn't even for most monitors, it still got the approved stamp. I would also select the LG for clear reasons. But I would really like to see a comparison of whether the ASUS motion blur reduction is worth it over the LG, as a gamer.

449 dollars = budget gaming.... Wow. The product is worth it's price, but not for what I would market as Budget.

I originally thought the same thing, but upon further reflection and Ignoring the marketing part of the use gaming", Budget "Gaming monitor", is not Budget "monitor". Similarly budget "gaming" video cards are quite a bit more expensive than budget video cards

check the other monitor prices 700 or even 1300$, yes 450 is budget in that market (as someone who bought and returned several of them including a 1300$ one I can tell you one thing prices does not reflect on picture quality or motion blur reduction at all ! actually the most expensive have HUGE flaws like the absolute shit monitor Linus has and who's shown in this video the HDR one with a giant whiteish bulb following your mouse, awful even for free I wouldn't use it)

I've heard the backlight strobing (ELMB?) can cause eye fatigue, is it possible to toggle it on and off with this monitor?

is the BQ version the same in terms of motion blur reduction and variable frame rate?

This is not budget, $150-250 is budget. This is on the higher-end. Those insane 240hz ones are enthusiast. And after that is the "Professional" tier ones.

This is how the elitist program the slaves to accept inflation.. to make it seem "normal". In a few years they'll say a month's pay check value is just enough for a "budget monitor".. As long as sheep pay these insanely inflated prices.. they will keep increasing them till sales slow down. Look at what happened to video card pricing.. Miners helped with the price increase and the miners who have more money than most kept buying the cards as the price increase giving the manufacturers and share holders the approval to keep on increasing the prices... Soon we will see videos on LTT that video cards at $600-800 is a budget card. Society will adapt to this and begin to save more money just to pay for these expensive over-priced necessities just to do their work and play games. A man once said he was a plumber in the 70s.. had the nice big house, the fast sports car, all the nice clothes, and all the food he needed. Now he can barely make ends meet with the same occupation. Why? Because society accept being scammed by the elitists instead of telling them to F*** off.

How many WLED lamps does this monitor (Asus TUF VG27AQ) have for the backlighting? Is the backlight bleed noticable?

Yeah but does it have a built in VHS player?

A good monitor is one that fills up my entire vision

I wonder if this tech could be applied to VR. They already use ULMB but no adaptive refresh rates

That background music is a few decibels too high I feel. Might be one of few with decent headphones enough to notice though
