First, foreword: 144Hz is out of time? MSI launches 200Hz Energy Satisfaction
To say the importance of high refurbishment rate, many students will think that you can make the competitive game screen more smooth, prevent screen tear, and more. However, the high refresh rate frequency also has a big role in daily use, such as 120h iPad Pro, whether it is open application, sliding screen, browse the Safari webpage, or written with Apple Pencil, the overall fluency is far from 60Hz Old iPad Pro.
For the display, the larger the screen, the better the high refresh rate screen. Many of the consumers are still coveted with the 144 Hz display, and the 200 Hz monetaries have quietly come to us. Today we have to evaluate a 200Hz refresh rate display from MSI, the model is Optix PAG301CR.
MSI Optix PAG301CR is a 30-inch curved fish screen display designed with a narrow border. It is a VA panel. The grayscale response time is 5 ms, the refresh rate is as high as 200 Hz, and the curvature of the display is 1800R.
Of course, in addition to these, Optix PAG301CR has many highlights, with 100% SRGB color gamut, 78% ArgB color gamut, and 74% NTSC color gamut, so it is a veritable gathered domain display. In addition, it also supports AMD FREESYNC technology, which can effectively prevent the tear of the game screen. The brightness and contrast parameters are also good, 370nit's brightness and up to 1700: 1 static contrast can be comparable to some HDR displays.
Durable, the biggest selling point in the table is that the horror refresh rate of up to 200 hours, what kind of experience can be brought about by 200Hz refresh rate, here is here to see.
MSI Optix PAG301CR Display parameters are as follows:
Second, the appearance: 3-sided narrow border 1800R curved strip fish screen
MSI Optix PAG301CR display adopts a 3-dimensional border design. The screen uses a 30-inch anti-transverse fog screen, the screen ratio 21: 9, the resolution 2560 * 1080, the refresh rate reached 200 Hz, the curvature of 1800: 1. In the middle of the screen, it is MSI LOGO, and the various features of the display are indicated down below.
At the bottom perspective, you can see the curved arc of this display or more obvious, in order to make the trace more beautiful, a small cover is also designed behind the video interface.
The 5 buttons on the left can adjust the various parameters of the display.
There is a DC power interface at the bottom, 2 HDMi2.0, 2 DP1.2 and 1 3.5mm audio interface.
The nameplate of the display, with the model, power, production address, production date and serial number of the display.
The back of the display, the upper left corner is LOGO,
The bracket of the display value can be seen that after the base can be used, the wall is supported.
Three pedestal, but this base is only supported before and after, it does not support lifting and left and right adjustment.
If you want to wiring, you still need to take the back of the small cover.
Side view.
The power adapter, the output power is 60W, that is, the maximum peak power consumption of this display is within 60W.
MSI Optix PAG301CR display has 100% SRGB color gamut and 75% NTSC color gamut, and the display effect is also very good.
After power-on, the light effect on the back of the display.
Third, screen test: 100% SRGB color gamut 1700: 1 static contrast
1, color gamut coverage
The bigger the color gamut value of the display, the better. The larger the color gamut, the more colors that can be displayed by the display of the display, the more pictures, the picture can be displayed, and naturally, it is more expensive, and it is also more pleasant.
74% NTSC color gamut.
100% SRGB color gamut and 78% Argb color gamut.
In general, the Adobergb color gamut of the commercial grade display can reach 72%, and MSI Optix PAG301CR reaches 78%, which is already very ok, it is already equally possible, its color coverage has been met The area where the human eye can recognize.
2, brightness & contrast:
When the brightness is 0, the contrast reached 19600: 1. Under other brightness conditions, the static contrast is very stable at 1700: 1, and it is also very good data. Generally, the static contrast can reach 1000: 1 has reached The requirements of the middle and high-end displays.
For the brightness value, the performance of this display is strange, 0% is 39.6 nit, but 25%, it has increased to 202nit, and the maximum brightness can reach 326nit. However, it is suggested that the brightness of 30 to 50% is expected everyday use.
3, color & brightness uniformity
100% color brightness uniformity: Delta E is between 0-6.1.
83% color brightness uniformity: Delta E between 0-5.0.
% Color Brightness Uniformity: Delta E is between 0-5.3.
% Color brightness uniformity: Delta E is between 0-5.2.
In addition to 100% brightness, the highest Delta E reaches 6.1, at other times, the worst value of the color brightness uniformity is about 5.0, which is also acceptable.
Fourth, 200Hz and 60Hz experience comparison: 200Hz daily operation and the game experience more smooth picture without tear
1, daily operation contrast
Simply put 200 Hz is a more picture can be displayed in the same time.
As shown above, when you use the mouse to drag the window, move from one end of the screen to the other end, the 200Hz refresh rate can display more than 3 times the same time in the same time in 60 Hz, so it will be more in the window. Joint flowing, 60 Hz will have a feeling of beating.
Below we temporarily temporarily 200Hz and 60 Hz:
The upper side is 60 Hz, and the lower side is 200 Hz, which can be obvious, 200 Hz is more smooth when moving. At this point, we use the computer everyday, there will be obvious feelings when you browse.
2, game display
We have chosen to do this with "Watching Pioneer".
In the advanced display settings, 60 Hz and 200Hz refresh rate are set, and then the corresponding refresh rate is also set in the video setting option in the game and open vertical synchronization. Use the Sony A7S2 camera to record the screen on the screen at a frame rate of 100 fps, and then put the video screen three times to the difference between 200Hz and 60 Hz.
This is the performance of 60Hz to open vertical synchronization.
This is the performance of 200Hz to open vertical synchronization.
The above video can only be used as a GIF animation at a 10fps frame rate, otherwise the capacity will be too large. Possible GIF animation is not very obvious, but in the process of our actual game, it is more fluent to feel the 200Hz screen in the steering, less.
In addition, at 60 Hz, even if the vertical pass is insufficient, the picture often tears in the fast steering; and under 200 Hz, the screen does not appear in the case of the screen tear.
PS: When 60 Hz is vertically synchronized, the frame rate of the game is 70fps, and when 200 Hz is turned vertically, the game frame rate is 210fps.
V. Summary: A heart-moving display
First make some evaluations in size and resolution of this display. Many people think that in front of now 4K, the resolution of 2560 * 1080 is not enough. But for a 200 HZ screen, even if it is equipped with a top grade graphics card with RTX 2080 Ti, it is difficult to ensure the frame rate of 200fps or more when more than 1080P is more than 1080p. At the resolution of 2560 * 1080, "Watching Pioneer", "Dota2", "CS: GO", "Jedi Survival" and other games, RTX 2080 TI can almost more than 200fps, at this time, 200 Hz in the game The advantage will be obvious.
In addition, an important indicator of the liquid crystal display is a spacing. The screen is too low, which will cause the spacing too much, it seems that the saw teeth is very serious, such as 28-inch with 1080p resolution; and the screen is too small, it will cause the spacing too small. Long-term viewing will accelerate eye fatigue, affect vision, such as 25 inch with 2K resolution.
For the current technologies, the optimal spacing of the liquid crystal display is 0.27 ~ 0.28mm, which is the 24-inch 1080p resolution display of our common.
MSI Optix PAG301CR display length is 690x291mm, the resolution is 2560 * 1080, his points are 0.27mm, which is still a spacing that is very suitable for text reading, we can also see it as a 24-inch 1080p display 2 Length to 30 inch products.
In summary, 30 inch, 2560X1080, 200Hz is a compromise and relatively perfect resolution size and refresh rate combination. It is far better than those of the 35-inch 1080p resolution.
In the case of a few days, MSI Optix PAG301CR monitors are in the game, or their daily office and web browsing, the flushing feelings brought by 200 Hz refresh rate allow you to return to 60Hz screen.
In another aspect, this display is 100% SRGB color gamut, 78% Argb color gamut, and 74% NTSC color gamut, plus 178 degrees visual angles can meet many players' demand for the wide domain. Read more
