"Fast switch IPS" has become a bit of a buzzword in the last ~year, probably first cropping up in the VR sector. Is this Blue Phase switching in a commercial form with a new marketing buzzword (as Quantum Dot backlight films became 'QLED'), or is it some other IPS variant?
Thank you for asking my question. IPS has been refresh-limited for decades, yet there is little discussion about how the capability barrier was apparently shattered.
I'm sorry my pun didn't live up to your standards and I am grateful that the Internet Police have arrived to manage and control the totality of comments so they adhere to a well-known and published criteria -- I mean, you have gotten the rest of the world to agree to adhere to your criteria and dole out punishments for failure to comply, yes?
It's Alienware. Or ware from the Aliens. The aliens were also kind enough to give us the AlienFX RGB LEDs. They know us simple humans like RGB lights on everything.
let's hope it works correctly unlike the TN model:
every time i set it to 240hz i got massive ghosting (easily visible when scrolling up and down a grey website with black horizontal lines), and if i set it back to 120hz it was fine, the overdrive setting was messed up and could not be adjusted (the high low settings did nothing)
More likely, since this is an IPS panel, the ghosting will be even worse. TN panels have less ghosting to natively faster response times (though when overdrived they can look worse due to dithering). This monitor must be heavily overdrived, overvoltaged and motion interpolated at its default mode, and I have no idea if that can change via settings.
No person on Earth can notice the difference between 144 Hz and 240 Hz. Up to ~120 Hz tops is the limit of the best eagle eyes. Besides, native 120 Hz is *far* better than motion interpolated (with black frames, insertion of estimated frames etc) 240 Hz.

I don't see how altering a vehicle's gear ratio in relationship to engine speed will impact the performance of a computer monitor.Alistair - Thursday, January 2, 2020 - link

Don't see the joke, you sounded like you didn't understand. If you did, that was just silly; why comment?PeachNCream - Friday, January 3, 2020 - link

When your jokes span generations, things like this happen.(I got the joke FWIW)

"quick and deadly", that's what my partner labels my farts as.I get the need for faster displays but isn't 1080p super low res for 25 inches?
Ast1on - Friday, January 3, 2020 - link
1080p is the best resolution for 24 inches (25 inches still great) pixelwise.Alistair - Thursday, January 2, 2020 - link

If you read the link you posted to the tft site about overdrive then you'll see that ghosting is a side effect of the overdrive process.RSAUser - Friday, January 3, 2020 - link
Would rather have had 1440p if the pricing is going to be above the $500 mark pre taxes.Does anyone actually notice the gain past 144Hz?i do notice the 60-144 difference, but from 144-240 I can't tell anymore.

Nice try with your trollalphasquadron - Friday, January 3, 2020 - link
To be fair Santoval, humans cannot really notice a difference above 30fps. This has been proven by science.Ast1on - Friday, January 3, 2020 - link
In static no, in dynamic yes.star-affinity - Friday, January 3, 2020 - link
@alphasquadronYou're joking, right?

Your science isn't what you think it is, try another one.iaredave - Saturday, March 14, 2020 - link
yikes I wish you were joking but knowing how humanity is ur serious and that is deeply concerning
