Detailed Test Results

Gaming Responsiveness: Good gaming responsiveness - The motion blur was mediocre but AMD Input lag was Very Good and Nvidia Input lag was Excellent. Motion blur was noticeable where text and graphics were moderately legible and generally identifiable at its highest FPS. Yet a significant improvement when compared against 60Hz motion. Ease of Use: Provides a convenient way to select gaming mode presets. Controls: Adequate button labeling and controls aided by an Excellent On-Screen Menu. The monitor rotates conveniently for portrait or landscape use but, the monitor tilts with some effort. Very good versatility - Has many useful features.
