Unlike other ultrafast video gaming displays, the Samsung CRG5 does not make use of a TN panel, however rather a brilliant VA panel with “240 Hz RapidCurve” technology. By utilizing this type of panel, the Samsung CRG5 displayed more brilliant colors and darker blacks than any other ultra-high frame rate TN screen I have actually seen.
While playing Devil Might Cry V, I also didn’t witness any of the screen tearing that normally pesters VA panels. This is mostly thanks to the addition of Nvidia’s G-Sync innovation, which integrates the frame rate in between your screen and graphics card. Without G-Sync, images on the top and bottom of the screen might potentially display different images at the same time.
In terms of other specs, the Samsung GRG5 includes a 4ms response time, which is a little on the sluggish side as far as VA monitors go. The monitor’s common 300- nit brightness likewise indicates this screen isn’t fit for HDR material, but this isn’t surprising as there aren’t any 240 Hz video gaming screens that sport a peak brightness over 300- nits.
The 27- inch Samsung CRG5 Curved Video gaming Monitor will show up later on this July for $399
