About this deal

The default ‘DisplayHDR’ mode maintains standard screen sharpness, although we noticed a minor bug where if you change to one of the other modes, and then back to DisplayHDR, the accentuated sharpness remains. The ‘strong’ mode pushed things too far, and introduced some noticeable pale and dark halos behind the moving UFO test, caused by some moderate levels of overshoot.

Original observations 25 Feb 2022 review – In visual tests we found the brightness of any halos and blooms around bright objects to be quite subtle which was good news, they weren’t too obvious. This display does not feature variable overdrive unfortunately, a feature that is almost exclusively available from Native NVIDIA G-sync module screens and designed to control response times and overshoot across the refresh rate range, being particularly useful for VRR situations. Intel, the Intel Logo, Intel Inside, Intel Core, and Core Inside are trademarks of Intel Corporation in the U. The accuracy of each grey shade will be impacted by the colour temperature and gamma of the display. The speakers would push static noise as full volume at random, the right side of the screen would glitch for no reason and sometimes, it would just switch off, which required the power connector to be removed and you had to wait 10 seconds before plugging it in again.I'm growing tired of waiting for the perfect 27" 2160p 144Hz real HDR monitor to come along - I thought the Inzone M9 might be that, but . A high contrast ratio is desired, resulting in richer dark colors and more distinctive color gradation. The inclusion of adaptive-sync VRR will also help support varying performance and refresh rates, including less powerful systems. This helps provide measurements for response times and overshoot that are even more representative of what you see in real use.

If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The contrast ratio is not as good as VA panels, and on dark content you get a familiar pale glow from an angle, especially noticeable in darker room conditions. Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. Definitely a hard choice when you need a multiuse monitor still not a lot of good options that also support HDR if any.that's why I ideally want a review, or in lieu of that, to hear of someone else's experiences before pulling the trigger. We also measured a 6 x 4 checkerboard pattern on the screen which is probably a good simulation of repeating dark and bright areas but the contrast was not that great in this test, at only ~1850:1. The Mini LED backlight also allows for a high peak brightness here of 1000+ nits, and combined then with the wide colour gamut and 10-bit colour depth the screen earns certification under the VESA DisplayHDR 1000 standard.

The screen has a blue peak at 449 nm, and is unfortunately not part of the Eyesafe certified range of screens. I will say that I’m at least thankful that it admirably supports the AG274QXM’s hefty plastic chassis, with nary a wobble to speak of. The full native colour gamut of the backlight is active, producing very vivid and saturated colours, especially in red and green tones. The screen is based on an IPS-type panel cell from Innolux (M270KCJ-Q7E) with custom Mini LED backlight added by TPM (who are affiliated with AOC). Too much other stuff going on, and as I work from home I don't have the privilege of being able to leave my desk setup in shambles while changing out equipment, sadly.Was hard to see the PPI difference usually, or make use of the added resolution (I usually run 125% scaling on 1440p, had to up to 150% I think for 4K). RGB Balance and colour temperature – the RGB balance graph shows the relative balance between red, green and blue primaries at each grey shade, from 0 (black) to 100 (white).
