0.1s G2G? Interesting. As well as 0.5ms G2G. Because it tends to vary across different transitions, and we can be certain these numbers are NOT averages taken. Ergo, plain lies.
100 million : 1 contrast? Even dynamically there is no IPS in existence that gets there even if they have fald. Try 1000:1 static and maybe 1200:1 and we're being real here. Plain lies.
Not even with a ten foot pole, even disregarding the fact these cost about twice what they should.
Also, all these claims have been used for years by display makers, so why are you only getting into a huff over it now?
Also never seen the static contrast ratio not present on a spec sheet.
lol, why not just say it has a billion to one contrast ratio… lol (confusing a 10bit monitors color, with brightness… 30bits = billion colors/brightness levels lol)
Here's one example.
www.asus.com/bd/support/faq/1009178/
And reading such comments from a Representative of a tech site, makes it all the more disheartening.
Since most reviewers and tech journalists basically just brush all the specs off as a white lie and are fine with it, there is zero pressure to change stuff for years.
As a potential buyer, you have to read/watch through a pile of decent reviews (which you need to compile in the first place),
to even get a shortlist and make anything that resembles an informed decision.
It's not something that happened last week.
I don't actually know anyone that works at Acer any more, so I can't complain, but trust me, I haven't been brushing it off, I have told plenty of companies off over the years and I have always made sure to provide proper specs when I've written stuff on behalf of tech companies I have either worked full time or freelanced for.
Also, dynamic contrast ratio isn't a new thing, but yes, it's still as bogus as ever.
However, I do also realize that just not publishing them would mean bad news for the financials of TPU (Ad revenue through clicks).
Thank you for adding the technical sheets whenever possible!
Also those specs and promo articles fells like the '90 CRT monitors when SVGA@85Hz was promoted as the most amazing and advanced display technology.
Ah, good times. :)
Not likely it’s going to get significantly cheaper this year or the next. As long as there are only two panel suppliers and they are content to keep prices high-ish (from my understanding) I think the 4K OLED high-refresh will be stuck around the premium price point.
The specs are generally not a flat out lie but a very creative interpretation of the truth, with very specific but completely unrealistic scenarios in mind, with a lot of caveats and omissions, that will still leave room for some sort of plausible deniability when an actual review turns out they were exaggerated. The specs in this press release appear to be this kind.
Also, there's an expensive 4K 60 Hz monitor. Possibly not much different than the Samsung U28R55.
The main thing that sucks is it's advertised as the contrast ratio up-front, not the actual physical contrast ratio the monitor can actually achieve, which is buried or omitted.
