There is also a G9 model which is 49″ in size with a 5120 x 1440 ultrawide resolution. This includes the G7 models which are available in 27″ and 32″ sizes and come with a 2560 x 1440 resolution. Samsung have now released their new “Odyssey” line-up of screens, boasting high 240Hz refresh rates in a range of sizes and with some impressive additional specs.
ODYSSEY G7 REVIEW 1080P
That first venture in to 240Hz VA was also limited to a 1080p panel and it appeared that this technology was not ready for the jump to 240Hz, and may never be. To be honest we were not impressed by the performance as the response times were not nearly fast enough to keep up with the extra frame rate and it was plagued by usual response time limitations on black transitions, resulting in the normal “VA black smearing” problems. VA panels were a little bit later and we reviewed the first to market in the form of the Samsung C27RG50. We’ve also more recently tested the Asus TUF Gaming VG279QM where the refresh rate has been overclocked even further up to a whopping 280Hz. We tested the first IPS technology panel with 240Hz back in November 2019 in the form of the Acer Nitro XV273 X and were very impressed by its performance. Our high refresh rate monitor and panel roadmap article talks more about all the high refresh rate options. It is only recently that other panel technologies have been pushed up to 240Hz, which is likely due to their underlying slower pixel response times and the need to improve things quite significantly if they are to keep up. We’ve tested quite a few 240Hz TN Film models over the last few years, most recently the AOC AGON AG273QZ which was the first we’d tested with 240Hz and 1440p resolution, and the Acer Nitro XF252Q which is a 24.5″ sized model which had impressed us with its fast response times and excellent motion clarity. In the past 240Hz native refresh rates had been restricted to the fastest TN Film panel technology. This may arise from the improved frame rate support, additional benefits from the higher refresh rate for eye tracking of content, and also sometimes because of the way that the pixel response times improve. There is a smaller, but still noticeable benefit in some situations when increasing refresh rate higher to 240Hz. There is a major improvement in motion clarity and performance when jumping from 60Hz to 120/144Hz. Refresh rate has a direct impact on perceived motion clarity for fast moving content and gaming, due to the way that LCD monitors operate. We also see some screens with higher refresh rates than that, all the way up to a native 240Hz being increasingly common nowadays and occasionally beyond. 144Hz has rapidly become the norm for gaming displays as some 2019 market analysis revealed.
Long gone are the days of LCD monitors being limited to only 60Hz input, and we now see a wide range of models from many different manufacturers offering 120Hz+ refresh rates today. Over the years we have seen a major investment in the gaming monitor market with one of the most significant improvements being the support for higher refresh rates.
