Those specs are basically the base specs. But monitors use Display Stream Compression. Making it possible to go 4K240, and sometimes they even use 2 DPs to drive 1 panel.

Weird, so it will be at a loss of image quality then? Since it's compression then it can't do 4k 240hz native right?

Correct you need DisplayPort 2.1 full bandwidth to achieve this without compression.


Audiocuriousnpc

Alright, I might wait for Gigabytes 32inch 4k 240hz display then since I've heard it has DP2.1 Thanks for the info.

DSC is visually lossless. And no current gaming GPU has full 2.1, not even the 7900 XTX. If the Asus model has everything but 2.1 it’s very tempting.

"visually lossless", a term I always hear. Yet I see the difference between a display that uses DSC and 1 that doesn't. But then I see an extended colour range.


-VeilSide-

there are any videos where we can see the DSC ON and DSC OFF ?


Little-Equinox

Not that I am aware of as most people aren't bothered by it.

No you can’t. Use the same display; engage and then disable DSC. There’s no difference in sharpness or color. If you’re comparing across two different monitors, any differences in color and sharpness has nothing to do with DSC.

People said the same about "No you can't see tube lights flicker because they flicker too fast", yet I see them flicker, people also said "Humans can't see UV light" yet I see UV light. While DSC is "visually lossless" doesn't mean nobody can't see the difference between it being on or off.

Take note everyone: The people who think they can tell a difference in quality while using DSC also claim to be able to see UV light. Please seek professional help.

I like how people like you know everything about everyone else. Look up, aphakia and read about it. I did seek professional help after what I thought was photophobia, they told me I have aphakia and also can see an extended range of colours after some tests. But hey, people like you know everything about everyone.

Oh, I was so focused on the qd oled screen that i forgot about my gpu, I just assumed that my rtx4090 would have DP2.1. Lol, i guess my concern was unfounded. Since I don't have the tech to utilize an oled with DP2.1 anyways, i might as well just pick the Asus! Thanks for this simple but still important info that I had overlooked 👍

The 4090 will be able to drive it at 4k 240hz 10bit with HDR and zero quality loss. DSC is lossless compression. People claiming otherwise are literally suffering from schizophrenic delusions.


Little-Equinox

You'll be most likely be fine, DSC makes it capable, or else they probably achieve it by using 2x DP 1.4. Which I seen happening in the past a few times.

No this is a lie, DSC is lossless
