DegraderAre you really sure that this acer monitor supports DisplayHDR 1000? It sounds to good to be true, honestly. According to this site of Acer it only supports DisplayHDR 400.
PCM2That’s a completely different model from the same series, the XV275U V not XV275U P3.
DegraderWell, then it will be a very attractive monitor looking at the specifications for the price, indeed!
PCM2Definitely, I was shocked when I saw the XV275U P3‘s listing and received the spec sheet via Acer Taiwan’s PM. They wouldn’t reveal information on pricing outside Asia just yet, but I’m hoping the low price translates well internationally.
PCM2Our review of the Acer X32 FP (mentioned earlier in this thread) is now live. 🙂
PCM2It could still be some time before this is widely available globally, if the X32 FP is anything to go by. But a newer variant with twice as many dimming zones is now listed – the X32Q FS. Interesting to note that the design has changed and it now seems to include pivot adjustment plus features 2 HDMI 2.1 ports and 65W PD via USB-C. The X32 FP lacks pivot adjustment, features 4 HDMI 2.1 ports and 90W PD via USB-C.
DatoQuestion to PCM2
Do you plan to review AOC Agon Pro ag274qxm from 2022 or a never model AOC Agon Pro ag274qzm from this year with 240 refresh rate?
They both have mini-Led backlight with 576 zones, I dont see very detailed reviews on the internet about this screens, very interested how they perform.PCM2The AG274QXM is covered earlier in this thread, which I’ve moved your post over to. It has a poor local dimming algorithm and significant flickering issues. The AG274QZM is a possibility at some point, but I’ve got an extensive list of models to look at and I’m trying to focus on some cheaper models at the moment which have broader appeal.
DatoAccording to tftcentral in april 2023 they realesed firmware update that enchance local dimming algorithm and now you can activate it in sdr mode.
PWM flicker of the backlight is present, but it is high frequency, undetectable by the eye.
Right now this monitor offered with discount for around ~550$, making it an attractive option.
Model AOC Agon Pro ag274qgm with g-sync module amd innoLED backlight was announced back on CES 2022, but never see the light of dayPCM2User feedback I’ve received with updated firmware suggests it helps a bit, but doesn’t come close to eliminating the issues with its local dimming algorithm. I’ve also seen multiple users complain of visual discomfort when using that monitor, including reviewers with plenty of experience using bright HDR-capable monitors. That can’t be directly attributed to PWM as there are many viewing comfort factors, but even ~2kHz PWM will trigger issues in sensitive individuals and it is absolutely not the same as PWM-free or even several kHz range PWM. Feel free to try it out for yourself if you find the price agreeable – and if you do, your feedback would be welcome.
DatoWhat are current or near future monitor options in HDR space?
Iam looking for 27″, QHD, FreeSync, QD-miniLED 500-1000 zones with VA or IPS panel
Price 500-900$ range
Found only monitors from CoolerMaster, KTC and AOC Agon Pro right now(PCM2Progression and spread in the Mini LED space has been slower than I would’ve hoped, especially for QHD models. The Acer Nitro XV275U P3 is one to look out for, a budget 165Hz QHD VA option with 576 dimming zones.
PCM2Our review [video] of the Q27G3XMN has now been published. This really sets the standard for HDR on a budget, in my opinion.
