G-sync is meant for a different case. Variable overdrive is introduced in the beginning when G-sync is announced. When the frame rate changes, they found out the chip needs to tweak to the panel's overdrive setting when the next frame is coming so that the pixel inversion is less visible compared to a fixed fresh rate. In…

@qwertyuiopgfg Yes, a part of the issue is polarity inversion. Another part is crosstalk. I call them pixel inversion in general. You forget adjacent pixels are charged with the opposite voltage so that the flicker is largely reduced for human eyes when displaying normal images. Regulating voltage is hard enough to make…

@HAL_9000 I don't think so. Regulating voltage is hard. VA panel pixel transition to black takes longer because of high contrast. Improve response time means even more voltage. And the voltages are irregular enough. The 2nd workaround might work for most people. Lower the voltage. Get rid of the flicker. But Response time…

It is about voltage. The LCD monitor doesn't consider a human-eye perceived image as static output because the monitor is constantly refreshing itself. With each refresh buffer the monitor updates, the voltage changes from positive to negative for each pixel. Overdrive uses higher voltages. And higher voltage shifts are…

Deep down they are all LCD pixel inversion. When it is more intense, human eyes see "the scanline". When it is less intense, you may only see "the flickering". The X35 VA panel has high contrast to meet the HDR1000. Pixel transition is deeper. Response time is slower. To artificially improve response time, the monitor…

@HAL_9000 It will lose frames in dark scenes. I doubt people can notice them because the scene is dark. Regarding color itself, 200Hz doesn't have full HDR10 yet.

I don't care whatever you are accused of. I won't be hurt to be informational. You keep digging until getting banned by violating rules here.

@HAL_9000 Samsung and LG make their own panels. If that is what you are interested in.

I already told you I read that post. Then you should expect all the information I can drag from there. That stuff is rathe solid, is it wrong to bring it up here? 

@HAL_9000 It was never worth it. The monitor got HDR1000 and Ultrawide and high fresh for the first time. It got no competitor. Even it was busted now the price won't drop unless somebody made a similar one.

? I don't have PG35VQ. Mine is X27. I saw that post though. The links are all over the place.

If you had a chance to test it, it will be there. Just like the rest of the monitors. 

I checked that review. The test method is their own stuff though it shouldn't go wrong anywhere. On their response tests. They specifically mentioned if ignore particular slow black > grey transitions, the response time is around 5ms. And almost 90% transitions we see are above that, they are grey->white transitions. At…

The response time depends on the test method. And there is no standard test method for it. So everyone speaks differently about it. The monitor should be rather fast, it should be around 5ms and then the manufacturers won't lie about it. If it is claimed 2ms G2G 200Hz, then it is 99% true. The tricky part is that they will…

Pixel inversion is more common on the high refresh rate monitors. High-end TN, VA, even IPS. FALD actually doesn't affect it. Technically, it always happens when voltage switching is irregular, less perfect. And it is challenging to get it perfect on the high refresh rate. The rest depends on the competition between panel…

? B) I didn't remember to mention your LG doesn't flick. I just pointed out your claim PG27UQ doesn't flick. On the other hand, we tend to use a professional picture made for testing pixel inversion. Then you deny using it for testing but in favor of a random picture that is... less intense? From an old topic, PG27UQ and…

I doubt it will be fixed. Pixel inversion is a result of reducing LCD image persistence. The way of reducing persistence is by using voltage switching. Same as the former monitor, X35 didn't use a new method to reduce image persistence. So all the inversions we observed are expected. To completely fix this issue, somebody…

The high refresh rate monitor is expected to behave like this. The pixel inversions cover area is larger. So that is why you see flickering outside the browser.

Pixel inversion is a known issue and discussed topic. Down here it is flashing because of that 3000$ price tag. But no cash can buy out LCD barricade unless they invented a new panel, like LG? And general rules of support is to fall silent about known issue/bug and never over-promise anything. I was surprised Acer said…

Set the refresh rate above 120Hz. Open the below link and make image big enough then drag the browser left and right http://www.techmind.org/lcd/crosstalk2.html You shall see below vertical pixel inversion. Then, take a deep breath, chill it out. ;)
