[SOLVED] ASUS monitor 144hz vs HDR10 (60hz) LG monitor

[darkalexgr]

Hello guys, so i want to buy a new monitor for gaming, internet, movies, series and writing essays and i found those 2.

LG 27UK600 (400Euro)
Asus MG279Q(600Euro)

Soo should i sacrifice those sweet 144hz for HDR10, or its not worth it? Also i have Nvidia graphics card, and both of the monitors are freesync, does this mean something? Can i use HDR with v-sync? Will the ghosting in the LG monitor be strong? . Does LG have better colors?

Note, im not competitive gamer(means i prefer better image(better colors, graphics etc) than performance), i play stragety and fps games. I hate monitor ghosting.

Currently monitor UE32H5500AW

My PC
asus GTX1060 6gb turbo
inter i5-4440 3.10GHz
12gb ram
SSD

Sweet 144hz without ever getting 144 FPS on 1060, though. I'm comfortable with 60Hz display, and would rather get HDR.

Ghosting is about response time, not refrash rate. With a slow response time, pixels can take a while to fully transition from their previous state to their new one. This can result in there being a trailing, or ghost, image behind the new one. The slower the pixels take to respond, the longer the trail and the less clear your image.

This was a particular problem with the AOC C3583FQ, for instance. It has a fast 160Hz refresh rate that initially, at least, means the image responds quickly. However, the VA LCD panel’s slow response time meant that it had very long, distracting trails that made the display feel nowhere near as responsive

The pursuit of faster refresh rates is crucial for competitive gaming, since it allows the screen to keep up with the rapid movements of a player. For instance, a modern mouse can report its position up to 1000 times a second, while modern PCs can run competitive games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive or Overwatch at hundreds of frames per second. Having a monitor that can keep up with all that can potentially give a gamer that crucial split-second advantage.

That said, you also should read about and see how HDR actually works, which games support HDR, etc.

Then decide which one you want.

Thanx for reply, what happen if you have nvidia card connected to freesync HDR10 monitor (ofc with HDR on)?

HDR and freesync are different metter here. HDR will work.

Free-Sync monitors working with Nvidia GPU are called G-Sync Compatible.

So far the list of Free-Sync Monitors working with latest nvidia cards are as follows:

Acer XFA240
Acer XG270HU
Acer XV273K
Acer XZ321Q
Agon AG241QG4
AOC G2590FX
Asus MG278Q
Asus VG258Q
Asus VG278Q
Asus XG248
Asus XG258

BUT
Nvidia says it’s tested more than 200 monitors for G-Sync compatibility so far, and if your model isn’t in the list, don’t worry.

You can try to manually enable G-Sync support if you wish, by going to the Nvidia Control Panel > Display > Set Up G-Sync, checking the ‘Enable G-Sync, G-Sync Compatible’ and ‘Enable settings for the selected display model’ boxes, and hitting Apply.

If these options aren’t available, Nvidia says you can instead go to Manage 3D Settings > Global > Monitor Technology > G-Sync Compatible and hit Apply.

You may also need to change your resolution and play around with resolution and refresh rate settings for this to stick. We’ve yet to try this method out ourselves, but will experiment with some FreeSync monitors connected to our testing rig and let you know how we get on.

Basically, search google for people who already enabled the monitor you want to buy to work with nvidia, or search for user feedback on which monitors have been proven to work

I cant find anyone that used g-sync on this monitor. I ordered the monitor and i will test it.

The LG doesn't get very bright for an HDR display, 400nits which by HDTV standards is not good for something advertised as HDR capable. My TV has over 800nits of brightness in HDR content. Maybe this works differently for monitors but I would worry about HDR content looking quite dim on that monitor.

Well, i have pretty dark room , but i only work with lights on, so i dont care about brightness.
