In all the thrill of CES, it’d be simple to miss a product as we take a look at hundreds of pitches. Nevertheless, it’s unusual, however not unparalleled, to see 500 and Hz collectively in monitor specs, so we needed to take a more in-depth look.
Dell/Alienware has launched a brand new 500 Hz 24.5” FHD gaming monitor. With that sort of refresh charge, you actually need a tear-free expertise. Happily, this monitor is suitable with NVIDIA’s G-Sync, in the event you even have a suitable NVIDIA GPU.
This monitor is match for players who need to have the sort of {hardware} skilled gamers use in a gaming competitors. The 24.5” dimension matches the sight view the place you’re probably the most targeted, and the excessive framerate ensures the monitor gained’t restrict the interplay loop between you and the sport. The retractable headphones hanger is a pleasant contact too.
Extra doubtless, it will be the GPU or CPU that turns into a limiting issue. Sure, these two very costly objects ought to go along with such a monitor until you play the unique Minecraft at a excessive framerate (I don’t choose). If there’s latency, look elsewhere, and you need to use NVIDIA’s Reflex Analyzer to search out it.
Different technical information for this monitor embody a VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, 99% sRGB shade gamut, and a few blue-light discount options generally present in costly trendy shows.
The 0.5 ms (milliseconds) response time (GtG) is greater than sufficient to react even to a 500Hz refresh, which is about 2 ms between frames.
Design-wise, the monitor is agreeable, with a low-footprint hexagonal stand (intriguing look!) that appears to go away loads of room in your desk. The rear appears to have a 100×100 VESA plate, however we can’t confirm it now.
There’s competitors on this area, together with ASUS (RoG Swift 540Hz monitor) and BOE, a big show producer. BOE demonstrated 500 Hz shows final yr and a 16-inch 600 Hz laptop computer monitor only a month in the past.
Players would possibly rejoice, however GPU distributors like AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel are even happier since you want a linearly extra highly effective graphics processor to realize greater framerate. With fancy, AI-based, upscaling applied sciences, rendering in 4X decision would possibly solely require 1.6X extra computing energy.
