Viotek 32" 1800R Curved 1440p 144hz Gaming Monitor Discussions | Drop

jlbourgeI'll give that a read, thanks! For some reason it seems hard to find a 1 ms monitor, most of the ones i am looking at are 4 ms. I'll keep the search going!

Sk3letrondepends on the resolution youre looking for but 144/hz/1ms 1080p monitors are easy to find.

jlbourgeThen you are a fool or simply don't care about color and image quality. This monitor slaughters the Benq in almost every way. VA > TN. There is no difference for the human eye in 1ms- 3ms.

Sk3letronDon't listen to this idiot. There is virtual no difference between 1ms and 3ms for humans. Refresh Rate does matter and I believe color and image quality matter as well. You may only use 1ms RT if you are a pro FPS player, but you will likely be forced to use a TN panel monitor. Which are outdated and have absolutely terrible image quality.
Trust me, I bought an ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278QR and returned it for this. And it's 100 times better.

sugaShane @Sk3letron This guy is right. In fact, most numbers don't even report the timings right. When you take processing times into account, "real" rates can differ quite a lot from numbers on the spec sheet.
For instance, even though my monitor lists a RT which is higher than OP's BenQ monitor, you can see that the real timings can get a lot lower when you factor BenQ's processing times. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/acer_xb270hu.htm#response_times No doubt the same for this monitor as well (though it's hard to say for better or for worse without taking measurements).

In fact, looks like many BenQ monitors which advertise 1ms RT can easily hit 25ms RT when not in OD (which can really hurt image accuracy / blur basically defeating the point of having a low RT). Now I'm not saying BenQ monitors are bad, I'm saying that RT doesn't matter enough to warrant spec numbers affecting your decisions, which OP basically proved by stating his BenQ is somehow "better" though real stats say otherwise.
TL;DR: Op doesn't know what he's talking about.

MacroPowerYep, exactly right. Not to mention if you care at all about color and image quality. Then stay away from TN panels. I own an LG OLED T.V and it has ruined monitors for me. They all look so bland. I can't wait for HDR, IPS panels to become main stream.

sugaShaneI’d say for sake of the argument, looking at only pure gaming performance, good VA or IPS monitors should outperform TN today. Was not always the case but monitor tech has come a long way in the past 3 or 5 years.
