AORUS AD27QD

[robfosters]

It needs lots of tweaking. Out of the box Aorus setting is pure eye incineration.

Drawing your own crosshairs on these models is quite neat and being able to import and export.

Tempted with this actually, same panel as the Acer XV272UP, i think?

What's the anti-glare/coating like on it?

Better than on Asus Rog Swift PG279Q.
Less grainy look.

Ideally i'd be looking for something similar to that of what i have now (Dell 2515H)

Read a few reviews where people say the Aorus is still quite grainy!

Had two of these and had nothing but trouble with them, nice construction but bad panels, just like mine was here and here

Got a refund - ordered this one instead: LG32GK850F - I'm not a fan of backlight bleed one bit so hopefully this should fix that.

It's such a lottery, mine was perfect. People can have nightmares with new monitors, sending one back after another. Panel QC is abysmal.

Funny that isn't it. The same conversations were happening here in 2005 for Dell 2405FPW's and here we are in 2019 and not a damn thing has changed. From panel buzzing, stuck/dead pixels, bleed, banding, you name it.

Gonna give it a go and order one from the forest. - I'd seen your review on there. I think?

See how it is when it turns up.

 

[superleeds27]

Turned up today.

Manufacture date was May 2019
FW shipped with 2, updated to 7.

So far so good. Feels and looks a lot better than the MSI I had. Feels premium!

Little bit of glow in the bottom left at default brightness but dropping that down to 120cdm (14) it's no really noticeable.

Running it through DisplayCal now.

How did you go about updating to firmware 07?

Did you notice any "improvements with games"?
Those firmware descriptions leave a lot to be desired.

Just updated it via the OSD app.

Not sure re changes. Didn't really checkmor test anything in the Version it shipped with - 2.

I can only assume G-Sync compatible stuff.

Does that happen with the kd25f too? That is pretty cool you can get firmware updates. VF did you swap from the kd25f to this one then? Hope its all well

 

[V F]

No. 240Hz is too good to ditch.

 

[robfosters]

I don’t understand this 240hz faff. Unless you’re playing old games like CS, no graphics cards can pump out 240fps at ultra settings,

Closed mind much?
