Must be zero flicker option. Tried to filter that, but not sure what it means that some of these say PWM 0HZ some say 1000HZ.

Regardless, which monitor of these is best overall with zero flicker? And which is best <$500? I need one that can play 23.9/24hz movies at 23/24hz or 47/48 or 71/72 or 95/96 or 119/120 or 143/144 hz.

Tysm
 
If the PWM is 0Hz, it means it doesn't use a strobing backlight to control brightness. If it's >1000Hz, it's basically imperceptible. If you absolutely must not need strobing, then get a 0Hz PWM monitor.

Regarding the refresh rates, you don't need something 24Hz. If it can do 120Hz or 144Hz, then it'll play 24Hz just fine without something like 3:2 pulldown or some other way to interpolate frame rate and refresh rate because either refresh rate is a multiple of 24.

Ty. So which of the ones left?

Also whats it mean pulse width strobing "no" vs "no bfi" ?

Same Q for pulse amplitude control.

Also shortest pulse width brightness and longest. They range from 100cd/m some say 407 cd/m. Whats better for eyes?

Most have same shortest and and longest number but Asus Rog Swift PG27UQR has 283 vs 407. Worse for eyes than consistent intervals?
 
What do you mean?

If you asking me to narrow the choice of monitors down for you, I won't do that. Figure out what specs matter to you and narrow down your choices through that and if you're stuck between a few that basically look the same, flip a coin or something.

Can do that best I can but unfamiliar with all of them. Maybe some have known issues. Maybe some brands better. Idk. Dont want to take ppls time but Im clueless.

One thing I found is does VA have worse motion than IPS? Cuz the two VA ones have best contrast.

Otherwise all are IPS, all are 144hz, idc input lag, so hard to choose without knowledge of ppl who know which is better.

LCD Monitor manufacturing technology has gotten to a point where the only difference you get between panel type is a tradeoff between contrast ratio or viewing angles. Everything else is determined by how well the monitor was manufactured.

IPS not even > color automatically anymore?

If anyone scrolling can help clear these up ASAP it would be a huge help!

https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/samsung/odyssey-neo-g7-s32bg75 has best rtings motion picture, despite being VA, top contrast, but only 3.9/5 on amazon. And expensive.

LOL and reviews say:

Customers like the picture quality of the monitor. They mention that the HDR looks great, and it looks good in games. They appreciate the excellent colors and contrast. However, some customers dislike flickering, and pixel quality. Opinions are mixed on size, quality, performance, value, and brightness.

Wtf!

Other VA's have bad rtings motion pics except MSI one looks OK.

If you mean color accurate, no. In fact, I recall a review where an IPS version of a monitor was tested to have worse color accuracy than its TN version.

The monitor has an issue with flickering when FreeSync is enabled and is displaying low FPS content. Though there's an option somewhere in there to mitigate this.
