Could you perhaps get into the service menu and tell us which panel it has? And do some testUFO ghosting tests at 960pps or 1440pps at max refresh rate! Thanks! Note that the monitor can also support 10-bit color depth, in which case you’re limited to 300Hz over DisplayPort 1.4 without chroma subsampling.

With overdrive setting at extreme and 240hz there is no ghosting with Gsync enabled with the UFO test Samsung Odyssey Neo G9/G95NC S57CG95 Review: 7680×2160 240Hz mini LED Curved UltraWide Gaming Monitor Now, while the jump to 360Hz from 240Hz is noticeable, it’s not as apparent as it is going to 240Hz from 144Hz, but you can definitely feel the difference. Monitor is wall-mounted so I can't comment on the stand but I did feel it and it is a solid beefy stand. Gamers buy a 360 Hz monitor because of its video processing, which is akin to the performance one gets from an exotic sports car. At 300 frames per second or more, motion blur is simply non-existent, and Adaptive-Sync is barely needed. The smoothness and response are on another level compared to 240 Hz screens. 144 Hz? Yeah, I remember when the first such monitors appeared, and reviewers like me said the same thing about them. Today though, 360 Hz is the pinnacle.
My gaming skills are decidedly average, but I felt like a king when mowing through monsters and zombies. Every mouse movement is met with instant response. And I noted that stopping my turn to shoot was super precise. I almost never overshot the mark. Circle strafe movements are much easier when the panning image stays in focus. You can control your position much more finely than even a 240 Hz monitor allows. MSI might not be the first to market with a 360Hz monitor, because there are a few options there already. However, the goal with the OCULUX NXG253R isn’t to be first but to offer the most, at a reasonable price. And oh boy do they succeed – the OCULUX performs admirably, and is more than you’d expect.
seems to be using a 360hz ips panel from LG. interesting that theyd release another 360hz ips when they already have the aw2521h. I have the in-game fps counter and I can see that the game floats between 160-240hz. I have it capped at 237 so that makes sense. Question #1, is there a tool I can use to measure my average throughout a match? It's well known that at the start of the game and/or the "drop-in" that FPS is the lowest. Once you drop down and are on land I think I'm getting above 200FPS on average. But that's a subjective view. I'd like to get objective there.
Alienware’s AW2523HF has an FHD/IPS panel with 360 Hz, Adaptive-Sync and HDR.
ULMB reduces brightness by around 12% if you start at 200 nits. Brightness can be raised to compensate. It only works up to 240 Hz, but it really makes a visible improvement to motion resolution. We thought there was no blur when watching BlurBusters test patterns at 360 Hz, but engaging ULMB at 240 Hz made it look even smoother. That means that if you don’t care about G-Sync, it’s actually better to do 240 Hz with ULMB than 360 Hz. It’s a shame ULMB can’t be used with G-Sync. But at 240 fps, tearing is barely noticeable, so some users might prefer to use ULMB. In fact, the monitor is factory-calibrated at Delta E ≤ 1.5, so you’ll get precise and consistent colors right out of the box with ~99% sRGB gamut coverage, while the wide 178° viewing angles ensure flawless image quality regardless of the angle you’re looking at the screen. Let's talk about optimum settings for me for Apex Legends. That's pretty much my main right now. Couple of questions:
This technology should also not be confused with NVIDIA Reflex, which does reduce input lag in supported games once enabled regardless of the monitor or mouse you are using, as long as you have a compatible graphics card (GTX 900-series or newer).
Addictive response
The stand is of high quality and offers a 5 inch height adjustment along with 20 degree swivel left and right, 5/21 degrees of tilt and a 90 degree portrait mode. Inside the upright, visible from the front, is a convenient graduated number scale so you can remember your height setting when moving the AW2521H from place to place. You can adjust Pulse Width from 10 to 100. The higher the setting, the higher the brightness and motion blur will be, and vice versa. There are nine picture presets, mostly game-type specific, three gaming modes and Custom Color if you want to calibrate grayscale. The gaming modes allow changes to color saturation only and let you set different overdrive speeds depending on game type. Performance Tip: use the Fast overdrive setting for everything; it works the best. The reduction in motion blur is visible, and the response is addictive. You won’t care that the resolution is FHD
at 24.5 inches is on the small and low-res side, but again, the monitor is designed for competitive esports gaming, where you want to be able to see the entire screen without darting your eyes around. The lower 1080p resolution ensures you can push as many frames as possible to reach that super-fast refresh rate, so while it isn't ideal for desktop work, it's all your graphics card can probably handle for gaming this smooth. And if you can't quite hit 360Hz, G-Sync is there to ensure you don't get any stutter or screen tearing.The Dell Alienware AW2521H is a rapid 360Hz gaming monitor aimed at high-end competitive gamers. Image Quality The alienware has very good overdrive tuning. Its standard overdrive is just as fast as the MSI, but its super fast and extreme has overshoot. Just because you don't see ghosting doesn't mean it's 1ms response time. The panel is the same as the Asus and the MSI, so if u dont' see ghosting, it's NOT 1ms, it's closer to 3-3.4ms ULMB also decreases the monitor’s brightness while active, but you can adjust the trade-off between brightness and motion clarity via the ULMB Pulse Width option in the OSD (On-Screen Display) menu of the monitor. The AW2523HF is certified for FreeSync operation but is not yet on Nvidia’s list. I suspect it soon will be since its slower cousins are certified G-Sync compatible. My sample proved flawless in all the G-Sync tests I performed.
Great Deal
