VG248QE
Can't believe we had these back in 2013.
144hz
~92% srgb
120hz backlight strobe via (light boost)
Standard mode (non-strobed), 829:1 contrast ratio @ D65
TN-panel
- Motion clarity is excellent in strobed modes. It's amazing that this monitor can "keep up" with the best out even today in terms of clarity.
- Calibrated to D65 white point, it has
676:1
contrast ratio
- Slight drawback in contrast ratio when strobe (lightboost) is engaged, due to them clamping black pixels limit.
- What's happening is, instead of going from full black pixel to target color, they go from a "grey" pixel that
still kinda looks black
to the target pixel, this way the transition time is "less" and it produces less crosstalk pollution (previous frame, inserted into the next).
The best strobed fast ips monitors
today
, can do 800-1000:1 contrast, so the VG248QE image isn't great for cinematic games, but that's really not what it was designed for.
THAT SAID, Tp4 would argue, even modern fast-ips monitors are still trash-image quality for cinematic games. it's 1000:1 vs 3000:1 on most VA monitors, and 5000-7000:1 on VA-tv panels. Cinematic games don't really "need" the best motion clarity in most cases.
As far as g4m3r requirements, it works very well, just with more floaty grey blacks.
The final drawback is that with lightboost engaged, it was really only designed to work for 3D glasses, as this was one of the first Nvidia 3D vision monitors.
So the entire screen goes into a
"bright purple"
tint. 3D glasses would've pulled that out and dimmed the picture quite a bit, accounting for it.
Without shutters, it has to be calibrated in vcgt "back" to D65, and it's just not ideal color and contrast wise.
