Do you already have a graphics card that is compatible with Free-Sync? Then it’s easy to synchronize the refresh rate of AW2518HF to the GPU. It will allow you to experience a dynamic refresh rate. It will also cut any stuttering and screen tearing without increasing your input lag.
You're now using the VRR overdrive presets, which the manufacturer apparently set up to be different (lower) than non-VRR (regular) presets. On the other hand, if you are a hardcore or a professional gamer and want every millisecond of advantage you can get, you will definitely want a 240Hz monitor.low contrast and high brightness (for better response times), maybe contrast 42/68 and brightness 99/75 - you might not like it The above-par quality design of the monitor comes with an ultra-thin bezel and a metal tripod. The tripod keeps the monitor steady and also conceals all the cables behind. If you've watched the part of my video, which I recommended you to watch, you could see what changing overdrive gain looks like. Additionally, this OSD menu is easy to navigate and intuitive. The six OSD buttons are right at the base of the screen’s bezel.
The modest weight and size of this product are most suitable for e-sports gamers. They cannot carry a massive display on the road. Ergonomic functionalities include 130mm height adjustment, 90-degree pivot, 20-degree swivel to the left and right, -5, 25-degree tilt, and 100 x 100 VESA mount compatibility. The screen is covered with ananti-glare matte(3H) coating. I had the same monitor and same gpu, super fast would make most sense to use since it's highest OD and it doesn't introduce any overshoot/corona artifacts, maybe just a little bit @60Hz. You can further improve slight ghosting trail this monitor has with contrast and reducing the G gain out of RGB in osd custom colors (there's more in this thread discussion: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6601&p=48725#p48725).Monitor saturation setting changes panel colors internally, digital vibrance is software based. But It can be hard to differentiate the two. For other monitors that doesn't have adjustable overdrive presets (not all monitors do in non-VRR mode -- very hairpullingly annoying when I come across monitors like that. Zero overdrive adjustments...) for colors maybe "Custom mode" if Im correct. And I slightly modified RGB values for more pleasing colors.
I've now read the thread further... it's a shame that nobody else has corrected you and other people who have the same misconceptions. Thanks for the reply. What about gpu scaling or display scaling, I read on another post that gpu scaling is more consistent nowadays that it is mostly flawless? Does the rx580 fall into this category or since the aw2518hf is a pretty good monitor, the display scaling would have less input lag? From my own in game feeling, the display scaling feels faster/smoother?
There is no doubt that the Alienware 25 AW2518HF gaming monitor is superior. It sports high-end gaming performance without costing as much as the usual Alienware products. Compared to the other Alienware gaming monitors, this is quite a cheap model. We discuss all the other special gaming features in detail in this review. The Alienware 25 AW2518HF has combined gamer-centric features and impressive build quality. It has produced an eye-catching design that is going to keep the gaming enthusiast excited for a long time. The pixel response time speed of 1ms GtG eliminates visible trailing behind fast-moving objects, but such fast response time is nowadays available on IPS panel displays as well. There are bound to be many wires and cables which you can hide behind the stand to keep things tidy. That way, you won’t have to worry about the wires or untidy desk space.
You are probably right about the overdrive setup but IMO it does change the input lag too. I do not have any scientific way to test since I don't have the LED mod on my mouse. The TN panels sport one of the fastest response times for the minimum motion blur. The 1080p resolutions make it easier to let the PC system reach a higher frame. The Twisted Nematic or TN technology is not known for its representation of colors. It offers a 95% AdobeRGB and 96% of the sRGB Gamut range. These are standard numbers for the TN technology but not impressive. Karisha91 wrote:Okay so what do you want to say? I didn’t fix anything? Is there anyway to reduce coronas without using g-sync? TheDell Alienware AW2518HF FreeSync monitor offers a first-class quality design with ultra-thin bezels and a steady metal tripod stand under which you can conceal the cables. You're not increasing input lag (which you seem to confuse with response time) by using a lower pixel overdrive setting, and vice-versa, you're not decreasing it, by using the preset, which they misleadingly labeled "super fast".Using the one, labeled as "super fast" won't make your monitor faster... it's just a misleading name they gave to the stronger overdrive preset...
Great Deal
