![]() Keep the thread civil with constructive informations and feel free to share everything, from 280hz windows/game implementation to more technical informations. This monitor is still not Freesync certified to this day, the 144hz version of this exact same monitor, the VG259Q, is Freesync certified. The native Freesync range of this monitor is limited to 48-240, you need to manually set it to 48-280 with CRU to make it work above 240hz. ![]() I highly recommend using something like MPC-HC/MPC-BE + MadVR to make good use of high bitdepth processing, trust me, you'll stop downloading x264 after this trick! Now you can watch 10 bit x265 content with no banding at all without having to rely on dithering that is just an ugly workaround to make 8 bit look slightly better. I don't have an Nvidia GPU so I don't know if you have to manually enable 10 bit after this, if you have an AMD card open the Radeon Software -> Display-> Color Depth and make sure that it's 10bit (if you want to use it for games go into Games -> Global Graphics -> Advanced -> ENABLE 10 bit Pixel Format. You cannot run 10bit at 280hz but you can switch Windows refresh rate to 240hz (without the need to disable Overclocking in the OSD) to automatically switch from 280hz 8 bit to 240hz 10 bit.ģ) Reboot or run restart/restart64 which are contained in the CRU pack. ![]() It was interesting to see the values changing when setting different PreEmphasis and Voltage Swing levels, altough I don't see any practical benefit in using these two settings unless you are using a cheap or long Displayport cableĪs stated in many reviews the VG259QM is natively an 8 bit panel but it can display 10 bit (8bit + FRC) at 240hz with a simple trick.Ģa)f you are currently running your monitor at 240hz click on your Detailed Resolution and set the Timings to Automatic - LCD Reduced.Ģb)If you are currently running your monitor at 280hz you have to click on Extension Blocks, click on the 239.XXX Detailed Resolution and set it to LCD Reduced. The firmware used for this guide is MCM104, newer products are shipped with MCM105, there are reports of early batches running MCM103, none knows the actual difference between these 3 firmwares and not a single firmware has been publicly released by Asus as of Now go UP with the 5-way joystick (If you scroll down it will change GameVisual Mode to sRGB->9300k->.) and click on OD Strong Weak, if it's ON by default set it to OFF and back to ON. ![]() OD120 is achievable by entering the service menu ( press the power button and hold menu (5-way), then press menu again and it will pop up on top left, there will be a small "F" for the service menu, click on it) Now take the best from OD60 and OD80 and you'll get OD120, it is something in between these two overdrives, the perfect sweet spot, there is no ghosting regardless of the speed of the ufo(I generally test at 1440pps to make sure that fast transitions are inside the 240hz window) and the amount of overshoot is noticeably lower than with OD80. I'll start by sharing a secret overdrive.Īs a premise I want to specify that this secret overdrive, as far as you might erroneously tell by the name, doesn't scale linearly in terms of overshoot, it actually provides less overshoot than OD80 and OD100, this is extremely good at 280hz, at this refresh rate OD60 provides no overshoot with the downside of slow dark transitions and OD80 has no ghosting but suffers from noticeable overshoot. Due to having every single discussion about this monitor scattered around many different and often unrelated threads I decided to create this thread with the sole purpose of sharing settings and tips for the VG259QM.
