This is only the second time in almost 4 years that we have had to withdraw the award from an article. As much as we dislike doing such things, in the end it is always a matter of decency and respect for our readers to implement and explain such things. The item has an MSRP of 183 Euros, which is not justified by anything, and is also only sold [...]
Yes, NZXT now also has monitors in its own product portfolio, and we’ll take a close look at one of them today. It is the 24.5″ Full HD NZXT Canvas. It comes with an IPS panel and a refresh rate of 240 Hz. This also makes it clear which target group NZXT wants to address with it. The eSports players, or those who want to be. Even [...]
So far, we’ve basically only looked at high-end gaming or a content creator monitor. We have not yet tested a pure office monitor. So today is the day. The MSI Modern MD272QP from 2021 faces our test program. It is indeed – a pure office monitor, as you can find it in almost every office. Expectations should not be too high now [...]
Today I will introduce you to the new SDR measurement standard for our monitor tests regarding color performance. Regarding HDR, there will be a separate article. Nevertheless, from now on it’s “We used the Calman color calibration software from Portrait Displays.” All previous monitor tests are still valid. The results were/are [...]
Today there is my second test monitor, which I use for my articles concerning DLSS/FSR etc.. UHD gaming is becoming more and more popular and thus you also need a monitor that can reproduce this resolution natively. Thankfully, LG supported me here and provided me with the LG UltraGear 27GN950. The LG 27GN950 dates back to 2020 and had an MSRP of [...]

Today we have something for the readers who don’t only gamble. The MSI Summit MS321UP is a monitor made for content creators. You notice this after unpacking at the latest, because you inevitably stumble across a measurement log. This monitor has a factory calibration for the DCI-P3 color space. But that is by far not all. The MSI MEG381CQR [...]
We are through with the basics, then we can get started now. The MSI Optix MEG381CQR Plus is the first monitor to prove itself in our test. Yes, in terms of naming, all monitor manufacturers are trying to generate their own Da Vinci code. Basically, however, there is a certain logic behind it. MEG (MSI Enthusiast Gaming), 38 refers to the screen [...]
Since Igor is currently at the Games-Com, I can today – once again – a little romp on the homepage. So far, we had already dealt with the various panel types, the basics about colors, color spaces, and so on. For those who missed it, here’s a quick read. With the third part of our journey concerning the monitors and the [...]
After we have dealt with the monitor basics in the last part of our journey – especially with the topic of color space – we will go one step deeper into the matter today. I already mentioned it briefly in the last article: color depth 8 bit vs. 10 bit vs. 12 bit, what does the user need? And, what does Rec. 2020? Is there already [...]
After dealing with the topic of LCD and OLED panels in the last article, today we take the next step on our journey around the basics when it comes to monitors. From the advantages and disadvantages of the last article, we were able to take away a few things for today’s topic in the transfer. Not all LCD panels are the same, and not all [...]
Small and super fast, the 24-inch IPS Oculux NXG253R has a 360 Hz refresh rate. A real e-sports monitor! On the other hand, the MEG381CQR Plus is very big, still fast enough and packed with a lot of gimmicks. The basis for both is an IPS panel. But that was it. The two monitors are worlds apart in terms of price, and the target groups are [...]
After a long hick-hack with my internet provider and a professional special case – the time has finally come. We’ll start with the basics on the subject of monitors. Today we’ll look at the topic of panel types, screen sizes and resolutions. However, I will not do a total deep dive into the technical level, but only go so far [...]
What’s on the other end of the graphics card? Right! A cable leading to the monitor. In most cases, this will be a DisplayPort cable. The connection to the monitor is now established. The monitor can now render everything the GPU outputs to your eyes. Or at least it could. In almost all the articles you have read from me so far, I refer to [...]

I had already disassembled my new AOC Agon AG353UCG monitor the other day in search of the cause of the unpleasant background noise, where I then encountered the G-Sync Ultimate module with its massive heat sink. Since running it passively without a fan caused it to overheat and shut down, modifying the cooling solution is on the agenda today so [...]
A lot has happened since the first G-Sync monitors from Nvidia came out. G-Sync with Nvidia graphics cards has also been possible with cheaper “Freesync” monitors for a long time. The difference here is that the frame synchronization between GPU and monitor is only done via the DisplayPort protocol and no additional hardware is [...]
Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy with work for the last few weeks. Therefore, the next articles from me will be a bit delayed. Very annoying! After we already looked at NVIDIA Reflex and various sync technologies in terms of system latency, I have prepared another short review for you. In the article about NVIDIA Reflex and [...]
When it comes to the topic of latency, you often hear/read that adaptive sync technologies are supposed to have a negative impact on latency. Hmm? If you try to explain it to yourself, it could well be. Let’s say you have a 144 Hz monitor with FreeSync or G-SYNC and you’re beaming it at 300 FPS. Which, yes, means that sync technologies [...]
