Detailed Test Results

Gaming Responsiveness: Very good - with slight motion blur having generally fluid motion and Excellent Nvidia Input Lag but AMD input lag was subpar - scoring in the Fair range. Text and graphics were moderately legible and more generally identifiable at its highest FPS. A significant improvement when compared against 60Hz motion. Ease of Use: Provides a convenient way to select gaming mode presets. Controls: Lacks button labeling, but the Joystick D-Pad style control and On Screen Menu are Very Good. The monitor rotates conveniently for portrait or landscape use but the monitor tilts with some effort. Excellent versatility - Very feature-laden -- more than most.
