Ufo-Testpictures / Text-Scrolling / Chase-Square Test / Eiffeltower-Test / sRGB / Homogeneity
Pros & Cons
Pro:
- Very good contrast ratio and clearly over the stated 2000:1
- Freesync with a range between 48-144 Hz + AMD LFC
(Low Framerate Compensation)
- Excellent blacks
- Good build quality
- Nice foot stand and good ergonomics
- Good OSD navigation
- Good VA viewing angles
- Good overdrive settings
- Very low input lag
- Included OSD navigation USB device
- Very good uniformity
Neutral:
- Good but not "perfect" gamma settings
- Added sharpness which cant be removed
- Half matte panel coating
- Loud Humming sounds on pixel inversion test pattern
(also a bit of brighter image content)
Update: Can be avoided when setting the volume to 0
- Some VA black crush issues
- A bit of clouding on the top and lower bezels
Contra:
- Vertical Scanlines + Text Inversion as same as on the Samsung CHG70 (a bit less visible)
- Colors have a red tint and look sometimes to oversaturated, even against the Samsung CHG70
- The VA typical "VA Glow"
- sRGB mode is pretty useless (blacks getting purple and huge color banding issues in sRGB mode)

No, but you can set the sound to 0 and the issue is solved :)
They can be different. It is hard to tell since I didnt test the 27 Inch version :/
