2024-04-16 23:00:00

Esports players need the fastest and clearest display, and ROG has the latest Swift Pro PG248QP, which adopts the latest Esports-TN panel technology, plus comprehensive OSD setting functions and NVIDIA G-SYNC Ultra Low Motion Blur 2 ultra-low image retention technology. , allowing players with eagle eyes to grasp the reaction of each game screen.

In addition to the pursuit of color contrast and resolution, flat panel displays also have increasingly higher requirements for response time. Especially in the field of e-sports games, players hope that each frame of high-speed images will be free of smear problems and facilitate instant reactions. TN panels, which have traditionally had leading response times, have become more specialized in recent years. AU Optronics has improved the Esports TN panel specifically for e-sports applications, with response times as short as 0.2ms (GTG) and screen update rates as high as 500Hz. level. It is about 50% faster than traditional TN panels and has less residual images.

ROG Swift Pro PG248QP is using an Esports TN panel with a 1080p maximum refresh rate of 540Hz, which is faster than the PG27AQN 360Hz of the same manufacturer’s WQHD Fast-IPS panel. It can synchronize extremely high frame rates in games such as “Counter Strike” and “LoL”. Its biggest feature is that it supports G-SYNC Ultra Low Motion Blur 2 (ULMB 2) low afterimage mode, which can maintain a higher brightness of the screen. The RTX 4080 series graphics card performs best.

Although it is a TN technology panel, it still has a 125% sRGB wide color gamut and basic DisplayHDR 400 certification, a peak brightness of 400 cd/m2 and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. It has factory color accuracy correction, provides multiple scene modes, and low blue light protection. Eye function and other functions are aimed at the keyboard and mouse placement of e-sports players. The base has a telescopic design, which can adapt to oblique and standard placements. It integrates a built-in ESS audio chip through a USB hub to support high-definition sound quality output to headphones, and is more adjustable. kind of sound field. The input is equipped with DP 1.4 DSC, 2 HDMI 2.0, and of course the Aura Sync lighting synchronization function. The monitor comes with a 4-year warranty.

Actual trial

Because it is an FHD monitor, using an RTX 4080 series graphics card and the frame generation function, it can achieve more than 300fps in the “High” image quality of “Cyberpunk 2077”, and the dynamics are clear and impressive. Switching to “Counter Strike 2”, it has a 300fps+ level. The afterimage phenomenon is very slight under fast movements, and the position of the pistol is more continuously clear. In addition, in “LoL”, each frame can be synchronized at 540Hz.

PG248QP’s Ultra Low Motion Blur 2 supports 2 modes, which can be used independently or automatically set with G-SYNC. If it is a non-NVIDIA graphics card, it needs to be set manually in the OSD. Otherwise, just enable the G-SYNC function. Due to the accelerated dimming mechanism of Ultra Low Motion Blur 2, the brightness of the display is not significantly reduced by half. However, when the graphics card does not have G-SYNC, depending on the monitor estimation, at the highest brightness, the three-eyed boy of UFO TEST will have a “four-eyed” afterimage due to incomplete dimming. The brightness must be reduced by nearly half to maintain the “three-eyed” one. Eyes”, graphics cards with G-SYNC can be fully synchronized.

The three-eyed boy of UFO TEST with G-SYNC graphics card is clearly distinguishable (refer to shutter 1/500)

The OSD of PG248QP has extremely complete functions. In addition to gaming functions, it also has color temperature and color gamut settings. It eliminates the problem of weak color performance of traditional TN panels and can be used for basic document HDR video playback. However, its professional gaming-grade specifications also make the price quite high, which may deter users without special needs.
