Hello everyone, I'm 100% at dusk, and today I bring you a 2K resolution, 360Hz refresh rate ant gaming ant27VQ max usage evaluation. It's a high-end display with both an ultra-high refresh rate and a high resolution.
Today we will take a look at how this monitor performs, so without further ado, let's drive.
Whether it is NVIDIA, AMD or Steam's resolution statistics, 1080P is an absolute leader, ranking first in the list of commonly used resolutions, the main reason for which is definitely the reason why new games have higher and higher requirements for graphics card performance and graphics cards** are always high, players can only get a relatively high frame rate at 1080p resolution.
With the launch of NVIDIA RTX 40 series graphics cards and AMD RX 7000 series graphics cards, high-end computers can provide high refresh rates for triple-A masterpieces even at 2K resolution.
The relationship between the graphics card and the display is always the left foot and the right foot, and the two have made progress in performance, after the graphics card is one step ahead, the display manufacturers are not far behind, and they have launched three new specifications of the display 1080p 500hz, 2k 360hz, and 4k 240hz.
Among them,2K resolution has always been a battleground for major e-sports display manufacturers,Major manufacturers have launched a variety of "big and small King Kong" e-sports displays under 2K resolution,Today I tested the ant e-sports ant27VQ max will use2K resolution、 360Hz refresh rate configuration,It is a high-end e-sports display that takes into account both ultra-high refresh rate and high resolution,This will also be the general trend of mainstream e-sports displays in the future。
Ant gaming ant27VQ MAX is equipped with a 27-inch, three-sided ultra-narrow bezel screen, the screen-to-body ratio is very high, which can greatly enhance the immersion during the game, the bracket adopts the traditional V-shaped e-sports style bracket, with the green logo projection under the bracket, which can greatly enhance the e-sports atmosphere of the desktop, in short, the appearance is very high.
Ant Gaming's ANT27VQ MAX gaming monitor provides a full-featured bracket that supports 80mm up and down, -5° 20° forward and backward, and -30° 30° 30° left and right rotation, which can meet the different needs of gamers.
In addition, the bracket of the ant27VQ MAX can also be rotated 90° to make the display vertical, whether it is used as a secondary screen to read files or as a main screen for vertical screen content design, it is very convenient.
The back of the ant gaming ant27VQ MAX still adopts a very three-dimensional design style, as well as RGB light strips and logos, etc., which can further enhance the gaming atmosphere of the desktop.
In terms of OSD control, the ant27VQ MAX adopts a five-dimensional joystick button control and 3 shortcut button design, which can be adjusted by simply dialing up and down, left and right and pressing the joystick, and the shortcut button can switch the display mode with one key, which is very convenient.
The ANT27VQ MAX is equipped with a new Ultrafast IPS-AUO native QHD 360Hz ultra-fast LCD panel, which uses a new type of liquid crystal material. This liquid crystal has a higher birefringence index and a lower viscosity, which is able to distort quickly and provide space for light to pass through. To put it simply, UltraFast IPS has the advantages of faster response time and higher refresh rate than traditional Fast IPS panels, making games smoother, and has the advantage of higher color gamut coverage compared to traditional high-end gaming TN panels.
UltraFast IPS has a GTG response time of 1ms, which greatly reduces blurring, ghosting, or smearing, and provides gamers with a smooth picture effect. Every frame is crisp and sharp, providing players with a realistic gaming experience, especially in cars, guns, balls, and other intense competitive games.
Because of the bandwidth, when using the HDMI interface, the display can only run at a maximum of 2K 240Hz refresh rate, and when connected directly through a DP cable, the display will run at a maximum of 2K 360Hz refresh rate, RTX 4080 graphics card and Ant Gaming ANT27VQ Max are connected through a DP cable, the measured display is displayed at QHD (2560X11140) resolution, 360Hz refresh rate, and the color depth is 10bit.
As for why you should use a screen with a high refresh rate, we will directly introduce the screen camera of UFO Test, which can generate the highest refresh rate (360 fps), 50% refresh rate (180 fps), and 25% refresh rate (90 fps) in the UFO Test web page. It can be clearly seen from the above diagram that the higher the refresh rate, the more timely the position of the object is displayed, and the closer the graphics are to the real position of the target, the better the player can hit the enemy, rather than drawing the enemy's ghost. In addition, high refresh rate monitors also have a smaller sense of smearing in games, which is especially important in FPS-based competitive games.
With the support of DLSS 3, the i5-13600K+RTX 4080 graphics card can still provide an ultra-high frame rate of 332 fps at the highest image quality of 2K resolution, with a maximum frame rate of 352 ffs. Therefore, we can say that the 360Hz refresh rate of the Ant Gaming ANT27VQ MAX is a perfect match for the RTX 4080 graphics card, which can avoid the overflow of the graphics card's frame rate, allowing gamers to enjoy an ultra-high frame rate of up to 360Hz while turning on the highest image quality and ray tracing at 2K resolution.
For gamers, screen tearing will greatly affect the game experience, in order to avoid the occurrence of screen tearing, we often need to choose a monitor that supports variable refresh rate technology (VRR), VRR technology adjusts the refresh rate by adjusting the vertical inter-frame gap of the picture, to achieve a high refresh rate, the picture is smooth, and the effect of no tearing, the ant gaming ant27VQ MAX tested today supports AMD-led Free-sync variable refresh rate technology.
In order to test the anti-tearing effect of this monitor, we will use the G-Sync Pendulum Demo, which is commonly known as the pendulum test, which is commonly known as the pendulum test.
This monitor only supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and is compatible with G-Sync, so it can only be tested in pendulum experiment in VSYNC mode.
Through the high-speed continuous shooting of the camera, it can be seen that the ant27VQ MAX has passed the pendulum test very well, and the picture has no tearing and dragging.
Regarding the anti-tearing effect of VRR technology,I use the comparison chart from the previous test TV to show it in detail:From the above figure, you can see that when you turn on VRR, the pendulum test screen is smooth and tear-free,And when you turn off VRR, there is obvious picture tearing。
After turning off VRR, the screen tearing close-up, the monitor supports VRR is still very important to improve the gaming experience.
Test the monitor,The screen quality of the color calibrator must be indispensable,I used the Datacolor Spyder X2 Ultra (Red Spider X2 Pro) I just bought here to test。
In user mode-DCI-P3 color gamut, Ant Gaming ANT27VQ MAX has 100% SRGB, 89% ADOBERGB and 94% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, the official nominal achievement is very high, this color gamut performance is absolutely second to none in non-OLED screens.
In terms of color accuracy, the Ant Gaming ANT27VQ MAX also performed surprisingly well, passing the Red Spider 48 color test, and its δE was only 082, fully stepping into the category of professional monitors, with a maximum value of 219, 1f blue.
In terms of tonal response, the measured gamma value is 22. Measured curve and luminosity 2The curve of 2 is basically a firm fit.
In terms of brightness and contrast, the measured Ant Gaming ANT27VQ Max has a maximum brightness of about 491 nits without HDR turned on, which is decent in gaming monitors, with a maximum contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a decent performance, with a white point of about 7200.
In terms of color uniformity, the performance of the ant27VQ MAX is also good, and the maximum delta E is only 49。
Of course, after testing with hardware, let's take a look at two more real shots:
The performance of the ant27VQ MAX in terms of contrast is very good, the light is bright, the dark is dark, the water surface and the sky at night can also be clearly distinguished, and the lightning also gives people a very strong shock.
Dark details are also well preserved, with textures clearly visible in the interior.
Ant Gaming ANT27VQ MaxThis monitor chooses the "sweet spot" between resolution and ultra-high refresh rate,2K 360HzThis gear is suitable for use with RTX4080,It can be said that it provides game lovers with ultra-high refresh rate at the same time,It can also ensure the fineness of the picture。
The ANT27VQ Max performs very well at 360Hz, with a very short response time of 1ms GTG, and a number of gaming assistance features that make the gaming experience enjoyable.
The wide color gamut, high color accuracy screen and full-featured stand make the ANT27VQ MAX a professional monitor that is not worth it for.
Of course, there is still some room for improvement in this monitor, first of all, it does not have built-in speakers, so additional speakers need to be configured on the desktop or plugged in headphones, which more or less increases the cost of the entire set of peripherals, so I hope that new products in the future can be equipped with two 3W to 5W speakers.
Well, the above is all the content of this ant gaming ant27vq max review, I hope it will help you, I am 100% dusk, we will see you next time.
