Performance
Now we will run the 192T through several intense display
tests and see how it holds up. To ghost or not to ghost, that is the first
question. The first person shooter Tactical
Operations was used to test out whether or not the 192T ghosted during game
play. Here is your answer...
While I was
playing the game I did not see any ghosting what-so-ever. I even asked
two friends of mine if they noticed any ghosting while I was playing and they
agreed that there was zero ghosting occurring. I decided to take a picture while
they were playing to see if the camera could pick up on something that we could
not and, as you can see, it did. When I looked at the pictures I honestly could
not believe that they looked the way they did because I hadn't see any such
ghosting when I was playing. So technically yes, there is ghosting. Will you
notice it? Highly unlikely.
Since I am "reviewing" the monitor's performance I feel
that the in-game ghosting test was a relevant test to add to the review of the
192T. However, as stated earlier, the 192T is aimed towards the business, SOHO
and high-end graphics users. That means people that deal with designing high
quality graphics or movies. Are movies as demanding as a first person shooter?
No because movies run at 24-30 frames per second while most games run at well
over 60 frames per second. With that said, if you use the 192T for "high-end"
purposes (designing movies, graphics, ect..) you really don't have to worry
about ghosting.
The next test will use the
Display Mate program to run
numerous display tests on the 192T. The below images are an example of some of
the display tests...
This test definitely applies to the targeted
market of high-end users because of the high demand images required to be
displayed. The Display Mate program not only tests black and white images but
also many colored gradient images as well. Dispite the program's best efforts, the 192T passed all of the
tests with ease. I might also add that I have read a few other reviews of the
192T saying that they had a problem with dead pixels but I encountered zero dead
pixels during testing.
(Yes that is a blackjack table and no it's not for real money)
The last thing that I wanted to "test out" was the viewing angel
of the 192T. Obviously to do this I simply positioned myself at extreme angles
to the monitor and took a picture of what I saw. The viewing angle is 170°
for both horizontal and vertical positions from the screen. As you can tell, you
can still very much see the objects on the screen at high angles. The only
change in display that occurs as you angle yourself from the screen is the
brightness and contrast are only slightly degraded.
