4 ms mother of God, that's a latency of more than half a frame on that monitor, how can they expect us to play with that? Huge blunder from ASUS, not sure how soon they'll recover from this

just as an FYI for a IPS this is about as good as it gets.

If anyone really wants a monitor that can do XXX >144 Hz plus having 1ms or less gtg, good colors, and a decent resolution, you're basically going to have to drop $10,000+ or wait for OLED monitors.

I have a 120hz 5ms mon and a 144hz 1ms mon. The difference is noticeable but not crippling.

I did a bit of googling and found this, which I guess is the previous model- PG278Q instead of PG279Q. Both are 1440p, the one OP posted is 165 hz and 4 ms but this one is 144 hz and 1 ms... so which is better?

Depends on for what you're doing.

The one you linked (PG278Q) is better for competitive gaming (the 1ms gtg makes all the difference up and then some for the lower refresh)

The one in the OP (PG279Q) is better for your Skyrim/Fallout 4/GTA V/Metro Series/Bioshock kind of games. i.e. Ones that you're not going to be doing heavy competitive play in. (technically Most people myself included would prefer this one for non-competitive play in any game, it's also better for standard desktop use)

PG278Q = TN panel = faster, but worse colours
PG279Q = IPS panel = better colours, but slower (gtg, not refresh rate) and more expensive

Has anyone tried those 600hz plasma TV's? Why aren't more people gaming on those?

I heard that that's not necessarily the image refresh but rather a color refresh or something, but someone here could probably explain

Are those the TVs that look like they're running off 60fps or is that a thing already? Because it looks so weird to me like it would give me motion sickness, especially if its a large flat screen around 45-60 inch TV.

100/200Hz LCD TVs use interpolation.
600Hz are simply run of the mill Plasma TVs*. If you're using that terminology there are 840Hz Plasma TVs.
Neither will accept more than a 60Hz input.

*Plasma works differently than LCD. LCD you got a continuous (or high frequency PWM) backlight. The crystals in front of it let a certain amount of light through. Rotating the crystals to a different position (->opacity) takes time. That's where ghosting/trails come from, the pixels need time to change. Plasma is completely different. You've got glowing plasma. It's either glowing or not. So to change the brightness they use a sort of PWM. The length of each strobe is variable, the number of strobes (correct term is subfield) is fixed. Guess what the standard is right now? 10. Add marketing and suddenly it's a "600Hz" TV. It used to be 8 subfields = "480Hz". Except for Pioneer, they've used 14 subfields (and didn't advertise it as "840Hz") for years.

Been curious for a long time why manufacturers stuck to 144hz. Weird number to pick when they could probably go up if they wanted to. I'd like to see some try to get even higher. Idgaf about color or res.

1080p, TN, 1ms GTG, 240hz sounds better than 4ms 165hz even if we're getting into really tiny differences.

High refresh rate means clearer picture and more enjoyable viewing experience. This is probably for people wishing to replace their tv with a computer, so it's for watching videos and movies, which is something that does not require low response time/input lag. It is also alternatively used for single player and casual games.

This was not designed for competitive gaming, more so to improve experience of casual and single player games.

@Setsul or anyone else who knows

I have looked this up before, but the answer seems to differ depending on the source. Response time is the time it takes for the pixel to be instructed to change colours by the controller in the monitor to the time it is actually displaying this colour, right? And how about input lag? Is that the total time it takes for any sensor input to run through your computer until you can observe the feedback, or is it just the time it takes for the relevant output(already processed, but not yet sent) to be sent to the respective controller on the output device by the corresponding device(in case of a monitor, the GPU)? Thank you in advance.

You are right about ips being way better in non competitive settings though.

I understand you are being sarcastic, but there are a lot of tv that run at 60hz, mine for example. For people wishing to have an even nicer picture than the standard 60hz tv, or what you rich people have, 120 hz tv, they should buy this monitor and replace their tv with it.
