Since Igor is currently at the Games-Com, I can today – once again – a little romp on the homepage. So far, we had already dealt with the various panel types, the basics about colors, color spaces, and so on. For those who missed it, here’s a quick read. With the third part of our journey concerning the monitors and the [...]
After we have dealt with the monitor basics in the last part of our journey – especially with the topic of color space – we will go one step deeper into the matter today. I already mentioned it briefly in the last article: color depth 8 bit vs. 10 bit vs. 12 bit, what does the user need? And, what does Rec. 2020? Is there already [...]
After dealing with the topic of LCD and OLED panels in the last article, today we take the next step on our journey around the basics when it comes to monitors. From the advantages and disadvantages of the last article, we were able to take away a few things for today’s topic in the transfer. Not all LCD panels are the same, and not all [...]
Small and super fast, the 24-inch IPS Oculux NXG253R has a 360 Hz refresh rate. A real e-sports monitor! On the other hand, the MEG381CQR Plus is very big, still fast enough and packed with a lot of gimmicks. The basis for both is an IPS panel. But that was it. The two monitors are worlds apart in terms of price, and the target groups are [...]
After a long hick-hack with my internet provider and a professional special case – the time has finally come. We’ll start with the basics on the subject of monitors. Today we’ll look at the topic of panel types, screen sizes and resolutions. However, I will not do a total deep dive into the technical level, but only go so far [...]
What’s on the other end of the graphics card? Right! A cable leading to the monitor. In most cases, this will be a DisplayPort cable. The connection to the monitor is now established. The monitor can now render everything the GPU outputs to your eyes. Or at least it could. In almost all the articles you have read from me so far, I refer to [...]

I had already disassembled my new AOC Agon AG353UCG monitor the other day in search of the cause of the unpleasant background noise, where I then encountered the G-Sync Ultimate module with its massive heat sink. Since running it passively without a fan caused it to overheat and shut down, modifying the cooling solution is on the agenda today so [...]
A lot has happened since the first G-Sync monitors from Nvidia came out. G-Sync with Nvidia graphics cards has also been possible with cheaper “Freesync” monitors for a long time. The difference here is that the frame synchronization between GPU and monitor is only done via the DisplayPort protocol and no additional hardware is [...]
Hello everyone, unfortunately I have been very busy with work for the last few weeks. Therefore, the next articles from me will be a bit delayed. Very annoying! After we already looked at NVIDIA Reflex and various sync technologies in terms of system latency, I have prepared another short review for you. In the article about NVIDIA Reflex and [...]
When it comes to the topic of latency, you often hear/read that adaptive sync technologies are supposed to have a negative impact on latency. Hmm? If you try to explain it to yourself, it could well be. Let’s say you have a 144 Hz monitor with FreeSync or G-SYNC and you’re beaming it at 300 FPS. Which, yes, means that sync technologies [...]
So what do NVIDIA Reflex and Boost really do in practice? Re-measurement in the self-experiment was announced, because I wanted to know it now nevertheless once more exactly. Blindly believing everything you read, hear or see is not mine either. Nvidia has more or less surprised us again and again with new technologies like ray tracing and DLSS in [...]
Introduction and specifications Ergonomics at the workplace and especially in the home office are often underestimated, but are becoming increasingly important. Whether it’s about preventing postural pain or simply being able to work more efficiently, it’s essential to perfectly adjust peripheral devices such as mouse, keyboard and [...]
I had actually been thinking about an Asus ZenScreen in the same size, because I would have liked to have had a portable monitor for both the smartphone and the notebook. But this monitor doesn’t have an hour in hands-on mode, because it unfortunately had a pretty good reflection and extreme halos. But the almost 270 Euros are a little steep [...]
What is the best way to test graphics cards in the workstation area? Of course with appropriate software and not just any dead-optimized synthetics. But it's not just the software that decides, but also the hardware. That's exactly where I started again and thought long beforehand. In the end, because the fastest CPU per thread is also [...]
As you know by now, I also do on YouTube. But more and more technology in the same space? I work with OBS and this is where AMD comes in with its APU and ASRock with the matching mini PC in the form of the DeskMini A300. Assembling and finished? Almost, because you can still optimize your own...
As you know, I went more or less voluntarily to the YouTubers, even though I don't actually stream games, but "only" have to make sure that the HDMI signals of my cameras get to the workstation as latency and loss-free as possible. With up to three cameras, an equipment can become quite expensive quite quickly, which also includes [...]
Today, we're clarifying what's behind Nvidia's announcement that adaptive sync procedures will open up, which krietria need to be fulfilled, and what it all means for desktop monitors and notebooks. Many details are also not to be found in the official statements. That's why we summarized all this as an FAQ in a guide once...
The fact that I prefer to play with my good stereo headphones has now certainly been talked about. That I used a good stand microphone for communication so far, perhaps less. Unfortunately, nomen est omen applies, because it stands on the desktop and thus automatically also usually grandiosely in the way. With the Yeticaster, a bundle from the [...]
