There is no perfect monitor just yet, that much i know. But what are the best options right now and the near future?
My current rog gaming monitor isn't bad but not the greatest either.
I'm still using the ROG PG279Q back from 2016.
In short, 2560x1440p, 165Hz, Gysnc, IPS, 8bit panel depth, 24bit colors, responsetime 5ms, power 90W.
Here are the full specs if you are curious, https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/b8a2229
The PG279Q supports ULMB with max 120Hz, ultra-low-motion-blur looks very good in my opinion due to it's nature drawing the world very clear even during movement.
The downside is this doesn't work combined with gsync and anything above 120Hz, using ULMB also modifies the brightness and color apperance.
I switched back to gsync because the colors with ulmb looked washed out, similar to a grey filter.
Playing videogames also looks bad on this monitor, atleast during motion the scene appears very un-sharp / blurry. And this with 165Hz.
So much for the current situation.
What i would like to see with a new monitor:
2k or 4k resolution, 240 or 360Hz, Gsync or Gsync-Compatible, 10Bit panel depth, 24bit colors, responstime <1ms, optimized power consumption.
I didn't mention the panel type because i can't make up my mind on this, i see alot of new monitors using OLED or similar panels, well.. burn-in is not something i want.
When it comes to the panel what's important for me is good colors quality and fast response times (low input lag).
As for responstime, it's bad marketing advertising monitors with 1ms GTG (grey to grey) because the true value that matters for me is the MPRT (moving picture response time).
Not sure if HDR is realistic combined with the above specs but you can surely let me know your thoughts. Is HDR important for color quality? If so which certification?
One last thing, if you are going to recommend monitors with massive fans on the back, just don't..
