On the other hand, if you are a hardcore or a professional gamer and want every millisecond of advantage you can get, you will definitely want a 240Hz monitor. You are probably right about the overdrive setup but IMO it does change the input lag too. I do not have any scientific way to test since I don't have the LED mod on my mouse.
DDC/CI (This is recommended to keep off, but I found no difference in testing. Your GPU might do some dynamic/automatic overdrive adjustments if you enable g-sync/freesync though, so I would keep it on with G-sync enabled)
Using the one, labeled as "super fast" won't make your monitor faster... it's just a misleading name they gave to the stronger overdrive preset... The gaming features of an AW2518HF gaming monitor are quite impressive. The OSD or On-Screen Display menu sports a plethora of excellent gaming features. Examples are the pre-calibrated screen pre-sets (RTS, FPS, RPG) and the three customizable gaming profiles. The OSD (On-Screen Display) menu offers a plethora of gaming features, including pre-calibrated picture presets (FPS, RTS, RPG) and three customizable gaming profiles. Overall, the measured contrast ratio is a bit shy of the specified 1,000:1, but the brightness performance is perfect as it peaks a bit over 400-nits with consistent and uniform luminance.
You're now using the VRR overdrive presets, which the manufacturer apparently set up to be different (lower) than non-VRR (regular) presets.
A slick and speedy gaming monitor
Anyway when I put it on normal overdrive it has more input lag and so much motion blur I get headache.
for colors maybe "Custom mode" if Im correct. And I slightly modified RGB values for more pleasing colors. In other words, the preset labeled as "super fast" (for example) now has what I assume to be roughly the same amount of overdrive gain attached to it, as the "normal" preset has in non-VRR operation. The Alienware 25 AW2518HF has combined gamer-centric features and impressive build quality. It has produced an eye-catching design that is going to keep the gaming enthusiast excited for a long time. Monitor saturation setting changes panel colors internally, digital vibrance is software based. But It can be hard to differentiate the two. In even simpler terms: You didn't fix anything. You're basically using the "normal" response time preset now, it's just labeled differently. (Which is by the way perfectly OK. One should use the overdrive preset, which results in the least amount of image artifacts, not the one which is labeled the most eye-catchingly.)
and 6-bit+FRC panels: On CRU, changing the maximum color depth from 8 bpc to 6 bpc could help a lot with ghosting issues. The difference in color depth is barely noticeable. Moreover, the OSD menu is intuitive and easily navigated via the six OSD buttons placed at the bottom bezel of the screen.
Great Deal
