HP Omen 27qs 240 Hz Gaming Monitor: Great Value & Results

Two gaming monitor value options exist. Some low-cost displays sacrifice features. The second kind sacrifices nothing and delivers 98% of premium screen performance for 30% of the cost. That category has many 27-inch QHD panels.

HP’s Omen display series offers good gaming performance, accurate and saturated color, and sturdy build quality for the price. My test product is the 27qs, a sweet spot product. The 27-inch IPS QHD monitor has 240 Hz, Adaptive-Sync, HDR, and wide gamut. Let’s look.

The Omen 27qs has a QHD (2560×1440) IPS panel. Ideal pixel density is 109ppi. It’s ideal because it produces sharp images with less processing than 4K’s 8.3 million pixels.

HP’s Adaptive-Sync and front-mounted G-Sync badge indicate Nvidia certification for premium video processing. You also get an effective backlight strobe (MPRT), that almost eliminates the phasing artifact on many other monitors. It’s a good alternative to Adaptive-Sync and works up to 240 Hz on the Omen 27qs. Multiple artifact-free options and smooth motion resolution make the overdrive well-implemented.

Very accurate color and a wide gamut mode that covers 90% of DCI-P3 ensure picture quality. VESA DisplayHDR 400 supports HDR10. My tests showed over 500 nits peak with a nice bump from 9,000:1 thanks to eight-zone edge dimming.

Standard gaming features include aiming points, timers, frame rate counters, and alignment marks. An LED ring in the back plays different colors and effects for light shows. HP’s sturdy chassis is built for long-term use.

Accessories and Assembly

HP Omen 27qs packaging is mostly plastic-free and foam-free. A few Teflon bits prevent scratching on molded cardboard pulp. A captive bolt connects the base and upright, and the panel snaps on. Fasteners and a 100mm VESA pattern are protected by a plastic shroud. The bundle includes high-quality USB and DisplayPort cables and IEC power for the internal supply. A metal VESA mount adapter is included.

No sharp corners or molded trim lines define the Omen 27qs’s sleek design. The white Omen logo is the only decoration on the front. An oversized version with a smooth taper is on the back. HP’s diamond motif appears on the LED ring, square base, and tiny white power LED.

The minimalist stand is sturdy enough to prevent wobbling. Ergonomics include 3.9-inch height adjustment and 5/20-degree tilt. Despite not swiveling, the base pivots as a unit on the desktop, allowing for unlimited swivel adjustment. Also included is a 90-degree portrait mode. Using a snap-on clip keeps cables tidy.

The usual up-and-under input panel has two HDMI 2.0 and one DisplayPort 1.4. The latter supports 55-240 Hz FreeSync and G-Sync. USB 3.2 has one upstream and two downstream ports. Plug headphones into the 3.5mm jack or use the three-watt internal speakers, which sound better than most. Their frequency range is wide and they play loudly without distortion.

OSD Features

The HP Omen 27qs uses nav pad keys with four directionals and a central selector instead of a joystick. Separate button toggles power. A quick menu opens with any key press, and the full OSD appears with a second select button press.

The Omen 27qs OSD has another diamond in the top left corner. Gaming has all video processing options. You get a five-level overdrive without trail artifacts until level four. MPRT, the backlight strobe, has five pulse widths. High settings reduce blur but reduce light output. Four was my test level. Level five is dark and best used in a dark room. Aiming point, frame rate indicator, and timer are available.

The rear LED ring can play three moving effects or be static. Variable breathing speed, and Random Color changes hue every five seconds to an hour. You can also turn off or adjust all effects’ brightness over 10 steps.

In the Image menu, you can enable dynamic contrast for SDR content that uses field dimming to reach 5,000:1. In HDR mode, the screen’s bottom backlight array dims eight vertical zones.

HP’s picture modes are unique and thoughtful. All eight Omen 27qs presets can be calibrated with RGB sliders. A gamma control is the only thing missing. Standard is the default and nearly matches the sRGB gamut, 2.2 gamma, and 6500K color temp. Native provides wide gamut SDR color. It needs calibration but looks great afterward.

The Audio menu has Voice, Music, and Video modes. Each is unique and favors different frequencies. You can assign the four directional buttons to quickly access color mode, brightness, and more in the Menu section.

HP Omen 27qs Calibration

To use sRGB color for SDR content, leave the Omen 27qs in Standard mode. No calibration or adjustments are needed. It matches grayscale, gamma, and color. Choose Native for SDR wide gamut color. It needs tweaking due to its slight blue tint. Auto-switching HDR signals gray out all picture controls. Its edge zone dimming and color accuracy give it over 9,000:1 contrast.

Game and Hands-on

The best thing about 27-inch QHD gaming monitors is that they do everything well yet are affordable. You can increase resolution by buying a more expensive display and video card and sacrificing frame rates. Higher speed requires sacrificing pixel density and paying more for 360 or 500 Hz.

It was ideal for a single daily monitor. Though measured average color gamut volume, high accuracy made using the wide gamut for SDR enjoyable. The pixel-free image is sharp. A density of 109ppi delivers most of Ultra HD’s clarity and allows higher gaming frame rates.

Doom Eternal was hard to leave due to the Omen 27qs’ premium feel and response. Virtually no input lag and super-fast panel response. Overdrive was perfectly tuned to eliminate motion blur. We could use the backlight strobe instead of Adaptive-Sync without penalty. A GeForce RTX 4090 video card locked frame rates at 240fps, preventing tearing. MPRT works without obvious phasing. Level 3 balanced light output and motion resolution. To offset narrow pulse widths, overhead brightness is ample.

Audio quality from the Omen 27qs impressed me. This is exceptionally clear and full. Quality op-amps allowed me to crank the volume past a comfortable level without distortion

Takeaway: The Omen 27qs offers great value with premium gaming and everyday usability. Its vibrant image is perfect for work or play. It can satisfy casual and professional gamers with its excellent video processing and low input lag.

Naturally, a better decision 4K monitor is going to each price even greater and calls for even extra energy to drive. Are the more display pixels really worth it if you need to have a higher gaming revel in? In 2018, should you ditch you old full HD 1080p gaming reveal and get a better resolution one? If yes, need to you go with 2K or 4K? The Best 4K G-Sync Gaming Monitor With VRR generation, the screen refreshes on every occasion the pix card is finished drawing the next body. Variable Refresh Rate Another important feature on this reveal that game enthusiasts are going to like is the FreeSync feature that gives excellent-smooth pics by eliminating display screen tearing while in play mode.

Unfortunately, its assessment ratio is low and even though it supports HDR, it lacks a wide shade gamut and cannot get shiny sufficient to convey out highlights, so this mode sincerely would not add much. However, it can provide a outstanding overall image satisfactory, making it the satisfactory 1440p reveal we've got tested to this point. A recreation like Rocket League won’t be too worrying to run and so it won’t take as powerful of a videogaming computer to run on a 2k monitor as some different words selectable. Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ Viewsonic Elite XG270 With the right setup, a G-Sync reveal will slow down and velocity up (to an extent) its refresh fee to in shape whatever framerate your laptop is able to deliver. It thereby guarantees every frame your pc sends may be proven in its entirety for your screen. What does that imply for you? Clear imagery on your games regardless of your computer's ability to hold a stable body fee. G-Sync additionally manages to avoid the issues of standard V-Sync, which can introduce considerable latency. If you’re someone who performs today’s most worrying games (The Witcher three, Far Cry 5, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, etc.), you’re going to want a better pictures card on the way to play those types of games on max settings on a 1440P screen with ideal framerates.

If you need to get a high-quality display that's able to G-Sync thanks to Nvidia's extended help to FreeSync video display units, then the Asus ROG Strix XG279Q is a champ. This monitor gives you a 27-inch, 1440p show that may run at as much as 170Hz, devliering buttery clean gaming. The smoothness is in addition along through a 1ms response time.

Nvidia vs. AMD GPUs when used with an Adaptive-Sync display, how they compare | Part 2 of 2

Contents

Introduction

Test Setup and Methodology

Monitors Tested

HP Pavilion 27q

Nixeus NX-EDG27

Nixeus NX-EDG27240

G-Sync Compatibility Certification

Conclusion

Introduction

This is a conclusion to the prior post linked here - https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/afqnei/nvidia_vs_amd_gpus_when_used_with_an_adaptivesync/

The purpose of this was to define, explain, test, and validate the differences between using an AMD GPU and an Nvidia GPU with an adaptive-sync capable display that is not G-Sync Compatible certified. And while numerous tests from respected reviewers and the community at large have already shed a lot of light on this subject, I feel as if I should finish what I started by posting my findings here. For those of you who have already read through more than enough tests, I hope there's something new and interesting in this post to make it worth your while.

Test Setup and Methodology

Testing on all monitors was done with an EVGA GTX 1060 SSC 6GB and a Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB. The purpose of using these two models was to ensure that performance was virtually identical. If I had used two GPUs with different performance levels, I may have difficulty telling if the additional fluidity was due to adaptive-sync, or just superior frame pacing from one of the GPUs.

The game World of Warcraft (DX 12 API) was used for all of my testing. WoW and a few others games made my list because their visual environment allows for easy detection of tearing and judder with V-Sync off. Benchmarking shows that the 1060 and 580 had virtually identical performance in specific areas, within 1-2% of each other. This used to not be the case, but the 8.0 and 8.1 patches brought with it significant improvements for AMD hardware.

Nvidia driver version 417.71 was used as this is the first driver with adaptive-sync support. AMD driver 18.12.2 was used as it was the most recent WHQL release at the time of testing. Had I been doing performance benchmarks, a newer driver would have been used.

Monitors Tested

While at least one of the displays listed below supports Freesync over HDMI, I did not test this. Nvidia's implementation only works over DisplayPort.

. HP Pavilion 27q Nixeus NX-EDG27 Nixeus NX-EDG27240 Size 27" 27" 27" Resolution 2560x1440 2560x1440 1920x1080 Panel Type IPS (PLS) IPS (AHVA) TN Refresh Rate 75hz 144hz 240hz VRR Range 48-75hz 30-144hz 35-240hz Adaptive Overdrive No Yes No LFC No Yes Yes

Most of the above is self-explanatory, but I'll try to explain anything that seems out of sorts or uncommon.

PLS is Samsung's variation of IPS technology. AHVA is AU Optronics' (AUO's) version of IPS.

Adaptive Overdrive is the display's ability to adjust the overdrive on the fly based on the currently displayed refresh rate/frame rate. All G-Sync module-based displays have this feature in hardware (called variable overdrive). So far the Nixeus NX-EDG27 is the only Freesync certified display confirmed as having the feature. It is not yet clear to me if the method used by the EDG27 is the same as what Nvidia employs.

LFC is AMD's branding for the feature that allows a monitor to multiply the refresh rate over the frame rate to allow for additional VRR support. Basically, the panel/scaler can't operate below the minimum VRR range, so instead, a multiple is used. For example, if the range is 30-144hz and you run at 28fps, the display will run at 56hz. For the HP Pavilion 27q, LFC is not supported because the range is too narrow, IE, 47fps would be 94hz, which is out of range. G-Sync displays do this automatically, despite the lack of additional branding. Nvidia's driver supports it in G-Sync Compatible mode for both certified and non-certified displays, provided the range is wide enough.

By default, the monitor has adaptive-sync disabled. Running at 75hz may cause frame-skipping as the scaler isn't designed for that. My sample worked fine at 75hz, but this is not normal behavior and should not be expected in the default setup.

Enabling "Gaming-Freesync" under View Modes makes adaptive-sync work. You lose the ability to adjust the RGB values in the OSD. Color accuracy takes a hit as well. Delta E Average went from 1.62 to 3.4. Delta E Max went from 5.3 to 11.84. Contrast took a small hit, going from about 950:1 to 920:1. However, 75hz works with no frame-skipping. This is an intended tradeoff.

Once enabled in the OSD, AMD's drivers automatically enable Freesync and reflect a range of 48-75hz, or 48-60hz if you drop down to 60hz.

Nvidia's drivers require that you enable G-Sync for the selected display (one additional step over AMD). I could not find a spot within the driver that shows the VRR range.

Both GPUs performed identically within the stated range.

Conclusion: Performance is identical for both GPUs. Nvidia requires an extra step for enabling adaptive-sync compared to AMD. The display's picture quality takes a small but noticeable hit when Gaming-Freesync is engaged. This allows the scaler to run at 75hz without frame skipping.

Nixeus NX-EDG27

Please note that this display was provided free of charge by the manufacturer for the purpose of this comparison.

The monitor does not have a toggle for adaptive-sync. It is always on and available to the GPU.

AMD's drivers have Freesync on by default and reflect a range of 30-144hz. Nvidia's drivers do not show a range, and must have G-Sync enabled manually for the selected display.

Both GPUs performed identically within the stated range. The monitor's OSD allows you to look at the currently displayed refresh rate, which should closely match the in-game frame rate if within 30-144 (it may not be an exact match due to difference in polling rates).

When below 30fps, the monitor's refresh rate was a multiple of the currently displayed frame rate, confirming that LFC worked fine on both GPUs.

Conclusion: Performance is identical for both GPUs. As with before, Nvidia requires one minor, additional step for adaptive-sync to work.

Nixeus NX-EDG27240

Product Page | https://www.nixeus.com/nxedg27240

Please note that this display was provided free of charge by the manufacturer for the purpose of this comparison.

The monitor does not have a toggle for adaptive-sync. It is always on and available to the GPU.

AMD's drivers have freesync on by default and reflect a range of 35-240hz. Nvidia's drivers do not show a range, and must have G-Sync enabled manually for the selected display.

Both GPUs performed identically within the stated range. The monitor's OSD allows you to look at the currently displayed refresh rate, which should closely match the in-game frame rate if within 35-240 (it may not be an exact match due to difference in polling rates).

When below 35fps, the monitor's refresh rate was a multiple of the currently displayed frame rate, confirming that LFC worked fine on both GPUs.

Conclusion: Performance is identical for both GPUs. As with before, Nvidia requires one minor, additional step for adaptive-sync to work.

G-Sync Compatibile Certification

Nvidia has a strict set of requirements for G-Sync Compatible certification. The exact requirements are not made public, but we can guess a few based on their statements and prior announcement at CES.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/g-sync-ces-2019-announcements/

G-SYNC Compatible testing validates that the monitor does not show blanking, pulsing, flickering, ghosting or other artifacts during VRR gaming. They also validate that the monitor can operate in VRR at any game frame rate by supporting a VRR range of at least 2.4:1 (e.g. 60Hz-144Hz), and offer the gamer a seamless experience by enabling VRR by default.

Right off the bat we can use that to explain why the HP Pavilion 27q would not pass certification. Its range of 48-75hz doesn't meet the 2.4:1 ratio specified by Nvidia. Additionally, adaptive-sync is a toggle in the monitor's OSD that is off by default.

But the two Nixeus monitors tested don't seem to have any glaring weaknesses when matched up against that rubric. Adaptive-sync is always on and not a toggle. The ranges greatly exceed the 2.4:1 ratio. There are no visual artifacts and ghosting is held in check. So, I reached out to Peter Trinh, Director of Product Development at Nixeus Technology for a comment.

On whether the Nixeus displays were tested by Nvidia:

I’m not sure as Nvidia never reached out to us and we never provided them with our monitors to the best of my knowledge. They never reached out to us with some questions or confirmations, too.

And on the ghosting, specifically, was adaptive-overdrive employed on the NX-EDG27240?

No, it does not due to our FreeSync Certification testing - the NX-EDG27240/NX-EDG27240S and NX-VUE24A/NX-VUE24B displayed ghosting in our testing with FreeSync ON with the monitor’s Over Drive set to OFF so we decided to market them without Adaptive-Over Drive. With the monitor’s Over Drive set to Low or Med, ghosting was eliminated or minimized with FreeSync ON. However when we tested the same monitors with Nvidia’s G-Sync compatibility drivers, there were little to no ghosting when those monitor’s Over Drive setting was set to OFF with our internal test tools.

Conclusion

It's tough to draw a definite conclusion from a sample of only three monitors. However, care was taken in choosing these monitors. We have monitors with a narrow range and a wide range. We have LFC and no LFC. High quality scalers and a low-quality scaler running in a dual mode. Adaptive overdrive and standard overdrive. All that we're missing is a Freesync 2 w/HDR sample, and a sample that runs the Freesync range in 2 modes (typically LG or Samsung), but I was unable to obtain any of those in time for testing.

Based on the testing here it's fair to say that Nvidia GPUs SHOULD behave virtually identically to AMD GPUs with any display that uses the DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync Open Standard. The key exception is that Nvidia's implementation doesn't use the ported version over HDMI that AMD has made use of.

My takeaway from my testing and the testing I'm seeing elsewhere is this - users should feel safe in buying any adaptive-sync display (that works over DisplayPort), provided there's no review or discussion showing that the monitor in question absolutely does not work with Nvidia hardware. Because both Nvidia's driver and the adaptive-sync monitors are using the open standard, they should work together with the exceptions of shoddy implementations from the monitor manufacturer, or potentially a bug in Nvidia's driver-based implementation.

Four gaming monitors for showing off your skills

Play better when you see better. (Florian Olivo via Unsplash/)

Gaming monitors are high-powered versions of everyday computer monitors that are designed to elevate players’ performance and create a more enjoyable gaming experience. Among the features that set gaming monitors apart includes a high refresh rate—that is, the image on the screen updates more often, ensuring that you’re seeing the action in real time with little to no lag. To most everyday users, this distinction doesn’t mean much, but to gamers, it can mean the difference between winning and losing.

Here are some of our favorite gaming monitors currently available.

Comes with a tactical edge shield to help you focus. (Amazon/)

This smartly-designed gaming monitor from BenQ comes with multiple factory settings tailored to every type of game from RPG to FPS. Its refresh rate is a blistering 240 Hertz, with a response rate of 1 millisecond, and you can adjust its swivel and tilt as it sits atop a height-adjustable stand or bring your own VESA-compatible mount. Its plethora of ports and an included removable shield to keep distractions away make this monitor a fantastic choice for any serious gamer.

Built-in speakers and automatic blue-reduction. (Amazon/)

Sceptre’s gaming monitor is a stylish, decked out option with unique design features that help it stand apart from others in its class. For one, it has a snappy 100-Hertz refresh rate packed into a 34-inch curved, 21:9 aspect ratio surface that’s designed to match the contours of the human eye. Go for a curved monitor for a surprisingly natural gaming feel that, unlike traditional designs, keeps all images equidistant from your eyes.

A 3000:1 contrast ratio that doesn’t let you miss a detail. (Amazon/)

This curved gaming monitor from Samsung boasts a super-fast refresh rate of 240 times per second and a four-millisecond color change rate for a virtually instantaneous response feel. You can use it to play on multiple systems without constantly messing with plugs thanks to its multiple HDMI inputs, and its red-shifting eye saver mode allows for extended play with less fatigue. It’s also Nvidia G-sync compatible, allowing the monitor to perfectly sync its own refresh rate with your computer’s graphics card.

Super responsive with deep, vivid colors. (Amazon/)

Risking Your Privacy Is More Fun Than the Librem 5

Our verdict of the Purism Librem 5 : With a solid operating system and privacy-focused hardware kill switches, the Librem 5 is bulkier than expected and eats through battery. While the philosophy behind the phone is sound, Librem 5 is unlikely to be picked up by anyone other than Linux users and privacy advocates.510

Smartphones deliver untold conveniences into our lives, barely thought of 20 years ago. Mobile internet, email, social networking, gaming, productivity, shopping, even media production. The list goes on—but it comes with a price.

Your phone is tracking you. GPS can detect your position; the mic and camera can eavesdrop; online services record your activity. We’ve traded privacy for convenience at a slow-burning rate that continues to smolder.

Social purpose technology company Purism believes it can change this. It’s developed Librem 5, a Linux-based smartphone with built-in kill switches for internet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, as well as the camera and microphone.

It sounds promising, but does the Librem 5 deliver on the promise of a “security and privacy-focused phone” that can replace your Android or iPhone?

What’s Inside the Librem 5?

Two versions of the Librem 5 have been announced: Librem 5, and Librem 5 USA. Purism kindly sent us the original Librem 5 for review.

Inside the phone is a Quad-core Cortex A53, 64bit ARM CPU running at a maximum 1.5GHz. 3GB of RAM is also squeezed in, with a Vivante GC7000Lite GPU. The Librem 5 has 32GB eMMC storage with a microSD card slot for up to 2TB more.

Also behind the 5.7-inch 720×1440 IPS TFT display is a choice of baseband radio (Gemalto PLS8 or Broadmobi BM818), nanoSIM tray, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4. The phone features a TESEO LIV3 multi-constellation GNSS GPS receiver. Note that NFC is not included. However, there is a nine-axis accelerometer, (gyro, accel, magnetometer) and ambient light and proximity sensor.

Two ports are included: a USB-C input for power, data, and DisplayPort, and the “Courage Jack”. This is a 3.5mm headphone jack—Purism states that unlike established competitors, it has “no intention of doing vendor lock-in.”

The Librem 5 features a removable back panel. Here you can access the user replaceable 3,500mAh battery.

As you look at the phone in your hand, the right-hand side features a power button and volume buttons. The left side features the kill switches. These are for Wi-Fi, cellular, and the cameras and mic. Activating all three kill also disable GPS.

An RGB LED is provided for notifications and the phone features two cameras: a front facing 8MP camera and a 13MP main cam with LED flash.

The review device we received included the Librem 5 phone, a USB-C to USB-C cable, mains adaptor, and earbuds.

Do You Need a Secure Phone?

Your phone is leaking data about you all the time. Either that data is recorded by Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, or any number of online entities, or your mobile provider is logging activity. A VPN is a smart way to encrypt internet activity, but that doesn’t stop GPS, cellular and Wi-Fi positioning. Cameras and mics aren’t easily encrypted either.

The Librem 5 is described as “a security and privacy focused phone” and comes with software trackers disabled by default.

Throw in the kill switches, the Linux operating system, free and open source software, and drivers, and Librem 5 is secure in a way other phones cannot hope to be.

While it’s straightforward enough to disable GPS, cellular and wireless on an Android or iPhone, kill switches simplify it and give peace of mind. These physical switches can enhance security and privacy wherever you are.

Meanwhile, the Librem 5 is almost unique in not relying on any chips compromised by the Meltdown or Spectre vulnerabilities. This alone makes it more secure than many devices.

Operating System and Software

It doesn’t run Android or iOS—so what is running on the Librem 5?

PureOS is a Linux distribution maintained by Purism for its own devices. Based on Debian, this is an operating system with a focus on privacy. For example, the default web browser is Mozilla Firefox with DuckDuckGo providing search.

First impressions are odd. After logging in what you see is a blank home screen. The only indication of what comes next is a single chevron, a keyboard icon, and notification icons at the top. Quick note about the keyboard—having it accessible on every screen is an excellent idea. Sadly, implementation of text entry is terrible, from finger accuracy to access to secondary characters. A software keyboard that works shouldn’t be a big ask.

While the app drawer is easy to access via an upward swipe, the Librem 5 is short on apps. Linux apps are available for almost every purpose, but few are suitable for the phone user interface. Happily, HTML5 web apps run the browser. Meanwhile a small number of dedicated apps and games are also available.

In addition, standard Linux apps with ARM compatibility can also run. These are subject to hardware and privacy limitations, however. For example, capturing a screenshot from the Librem 5 proved impossible.

However, a word of warning. The Librem 5’s Linux phone predecessors running on Ubuntu Touch struggled with the reliance on web apps. While in theory web apps are preferable to apps that install on your device demanding resources, they’re slightly less usable. The comparative speed of Firefox limits things further—it’s unclear whether the seemingly slow browser is limited pending optimization tweaks.

Our review of the Librem 5 has taken several weeks, partly due to battery limitations. The review device seemed prone to running dry with just a few hours use. Regardless, I was able to spend more time than usual evaluating the phone and how it feels to use.

Overall, the user experience of the Librem 5 is pleasant—it’s just that using it as a phone is currently limited.

Updates Philosophy for the Librem 5

Purism has clearly spent a lot of time considering the state of the smartphone industry. From the challenge of providing an alternative mobile operating system to working to enhance security and privacy for users, there is much to reflect upon.

An issue with iOS and Android (and other platforms) that is often overlooked is that of updates. Consequently, Purism states it will provide security updates, privacy improvements, bug fixes, and new features for the device’s lifetime.

This is a welcome change from the Apple and Google approach of issuing updates that only cover recent releases.

Booting Librem 5

Switching on the phone is as simple as you would expect. Hold the power button for a second, and it boots up—remarkably fast. I timed it at five seconds, which is about as fast as you can expect for any phone.

At times, however, I found that the Librem 5 would not boot. Despite my initial concerns, this wasn’t a power issue; I tried reseating the battery, recharging again, the usual tricks. Fortunately, I was directed to a support page revealing the solution. Within seconds the phone was up and running.

While frustrating, this support issue was nevertheless effectively solved. Having support pages in place for the phone at this stage is good news for all users of the Librem 5.

But this bulky phone gets hot when charging. No doubt an issue for future correction, you basically need to power if off before plugging in to charge.

Using Librem 5 for Calls

With so few options on the software side, the Librem 5 handles calls and contacts reasonably well.

However, call volume is impossible to change while the call is taking place. Meanwhile, speaker mode is… disappointing to say the least. It appears to push the same audio through the main speaker at exactly the same volume as the call.

So while calls are easy enough to make, and the audio quality is good, basic accessibility suffers.

As a phone you can pick up and take with you, the Librem 5 is unsurprisingly chunky. It weighs 230 grams, a good 100 grams more than average, although this is due to the components and build materials. It feels comfortable in the hand, however, which is always a good thing.

A Glimpse of the Future

The Librem 5 promises much, a whole new attitude towards digital privacy. But there is a long way to go. There’s no working camera app at this stage; the browser is slow; battery life is terrible; desktop convergence mode is absent. Call volume is strangely quiet and speaker mode follows suit.

At this stage, the Librem 5 is far from a write-off, however. In terms of using it as a basic phone, the hardware is sound. The privacy aspects are sound. But it feels that PureOS offers less of a mobile experience than Ubuntu Touch did (and UBPorts continues to do).

While the Librem 5 is available to buy today, it is important to appreciate that it remains a work in progress.

An Ultra-Secure Linux Phone With Potential

Open source phones have long been touted as a secure and workable alternative to Android and iPhone. Firefox OS, Meego, and others have been and gone, while previous Linux attempts such as UBPorts have stalled.

The Librem 5 represents an opportunity to change the way we use mobiles. Having the option to physically disable key tracking and surveillance hardware on your phone is obviously a massive advantage.

For this, however, you sacrifice the convenience that comes with an Android or iOS phone.

Like many others, I really want this phone to shape the future of smartphones and mobile technology. On this showing, it’s at least five years out of step. Purism’s good intentions are clear, but the Librem 5 is a far cry from the quality of its laptops. More worryingly for Purism, there’s a strong chance its efforts could be overshadowed by the PinePhone, another Linux project that is far more affordable.

Do we want a future where we have granular control over privacy? Of course we do. And that’s why Librem 5 must be admired. As a concept, it sounds great on paper, but in practice, it leaves much to be desired.

Ultimately, Librem 5 is a privacy-focused phone that limits you to HTML5 apps and a few bundled Linux tools. There is a lot to like here, but not enough for the Librem 5 to go mainstream.

Risking Your Privacy Is More Fun Than the Librem 5

It sounds promising, but does the Librem 5 deliver on the promise of a “security and privacy-focused phone” that can replace your Android or iPhone?

What’s Inside the Librem 5?

Two versions of the Librem 5 have been announced: Librem 5, and Librem 5 USA. Purism kindly sent us the original Librem 5 for review.

The Librem 5 features a removable back panel. Here you can access the user replaceable 3,500mAh battery.

An RGB LED is provided for notifications and the phone features two cameras: a front facing 8MP camera and a 13MP main cam with LED flash.

The review device we received included the Librem 5 phone, a USB-C to USB-C cable, mains adaptor, and earbuds.

Do You Need a Secure Phone?

The Librem 5 is described as “a security and privacy focused phone” and comes with software trackers disabled by default.

Throw in the kill switches, the Linux operating system, free and open source software, and drivers, and Librem 5 is secure in a way other phones cannot hope to be.

Meanwhile, the Librem 5 is almost unique in not relying on any chips compromised by the Meltdown or Spectre vulnerabilities. This alone makes it more secure than many devices.

Operating System and Software

It doesn’t run Android or iOS—so what is running on the Librem 5?

Overall, the user experience of the Librem 5 is pleasant—it’s just that using it as a phone is currently limited.

Updates Philosophy for the Librem 5

This is a welcome change from the Apple and Google approach of issuing updates that only cover recent releases.

Booting Librem 5

While frustrating, this support issue was nevertheless effectively solved. Having support pages in place for the phone at this stage is good news for all users of the Librem 5.

But this bulky phone gets hot when charging. No doubt an issue for future correction, you basically need to power if off before plugging in to charge.

Using Librem 5 for Calls

With so few options on the software side, the Librem 5 handles calls and contacts reasonably well.

So while calls are easy enough to make, and the audio quality is good, basic accessibility suffers.

A Glimpse of the Future

While the Librem 5 is available to buy today, it is important to appreciate that it remains a work in progress.

An Ultra-Secure Linux Phone With Potential

The Librem 5 represents an opportunity to change the way we use mobiles. Having the option to physically disable key tracking and surveillance hardware on your phone is obviously a massive advantage.

For this, however, you sacrifice the convenience that comes with an Android or iOS phone.

Ultimately, Librem 5 is a privacy-focused phone that limits you to HTML5 apps and a few bundled Linux tools. There is a lot to like here, but not enough for the Librem 5 to go mainstream.

Nvidia vs. AMD GPUs when used with an Adaptive-Sync display, how they compare | Part 1 of 2

Disclaimer 1

This article is highly speculative in nature. Please do not waste your money on a purchase based on this information. You can wait another week or so :)

Disclaimer 2

I'd advise that you skip to the summary near the bottom if you want the simplest comparison without the technical details. Then come back and read the rest if you're interested.

Intro

Right now there's a dearth of confirmed information and an over-abundance of misinformation circulating about how G-Sync compatibility will work. The goal of this series of posts is to set the record straight. Part 1 will delve into HOW things work. Part 2 will feature the results of hands on testing. Testing will be conducted beginning the 15th, with most of it likely over MLK weekend. Depending on the results, I may either do a Part 2 only, with aggregate results from multiple monitors, or multiple parts if I'm getting interesting results from each monitor that warrants a more detailed post.

VESA DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync, the underlying protocol

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) certifies many standards relevant to consumer displays. One of these standards is the DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync open standard. It's an open standard in that anyone is allowed to support it. It is not, however, open-sourced as some believe.

The DP Adaptive-Sync standard is an evolution of the embedded Displayport (eDP) standard used in laptops. eDP was originally made to allow for laptops to run at a lower refresh rate during static images and lower powered states as a means to extend battery life. It wasn't long before companies like Nvidia and AMD saw the potential gaming use cases for this technology.

G-Sync (module-based) vs. Freesync

Nvidia's G-Sync uses an end-to-end proprietary solution. You're required to use an Nvidia G-Sync certified GPU (most of the GeForce 600 series and onward) with a G-Sync monitor that contains a G-Sync module. We all bash Nvidia for the cost that this adds and the vendor lock-in, but there is a consumer-friendly reason behind it as well. Every G-Sync monitor gives a similar experience, subject to maximum refresh rate limitations.

Freesync, on the other hand, is a proprietary implementation of the open DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync standard. It is not open source (except for partial elements as required for Linux use), and it is not technically an open standard as it is controlled by one company that requires a certification process. However, AMD does run it in a very open way so it's not unheard of for someone to confuse it with an open standard.

Despite their differences in implementation, their goal is the same - deliver an experience that ends the stuttering/tearing associated with traditional v-sync settings. And both do it in an admirable way. G-Sync offers a more consistent, high quality experience at a higher price, while Freesync offers a wider range of experiences at a wider range of prices. It's almost like iPhone vs. Android.

G-Sync "Compatibility"

G-Sync Compatibility is a new certification from Nvidia that doesn't rely on the traditional G-Sync module. Instead, it runs on top of the same open standard that Freesync uses. This means that virtually any "Freeync" display will work with Nvidia's GPUs after the driver that gets released on January 15th, even those that are not certified by Nvidia!

Yar, matey! Thar be exceptions ahead!

Of course G-Sync via drivers won't work on every GPU nor on every Freesync display. First, even though the 600 series and up supports traditional module-based G-Sync, only the 1000 series and up will support G-Sync over Adaptive-Sync protocols as of the January 15th driver update. Nvidia has not commented about extending this support to older GPUs via future driver updates, or even if that would be possible.

Second, DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync is only officially supported via DisplayPort 1.2a and higher. HDMI VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) will be incorporated into HDMI 2.1 and up. There is no official VRR support for HDMI 2.0b and older. Due to this, AMD "hacked" the DisplayPort standard into HDMI so that it could be used with Freesync. There has been no indication yet from Nvidia that they currently do or plan to eventually support AMD's HDMI-based implementation. As such, any Freesync monitors and TVs that lack DisplayPort will not function as we'd want with Nvidia's GPUs.

Any monitor manufacturer is free to implement DisplayPort Adaptive Sync. If they so choose, they can submit their monitors to AMD and Nvidia for certification. Passing a certification means a guaranteed minimum in terms of features and performance, but it doesn't specify a maximum. You can have a basic Freesync monitor that performs better than a G-Sync Compatibility certified monitor, for example, but this will be the exception and not the norm.

Certification Differences - Refresh Rate

First we'll look at refresh rate ratio. This is the ratio of maximum to minimum, IE, a 50-100hz range would be 2:1, whereas a 40-240hz range would be a 6:1 ratio. A G-Sync module forces a 30hz minimum, or 2.5:1 ratio, whichever yields the greater ratio (so, 24-60hz, or 30-max). G-Sync Compatibility specifies a 2.4:1 or better ratio for certification. Freesync requires a 2:1 ratio or better. Standard Freesync does not specify a ratio.

If you had a 144hz display, here's what the ranges would be, at minimum, to achieve certification:

Standard Range Module-based (G-Sync and G-Sync Ultimate) 30-144hz G-Sync Compatibility 60-144hz Freesync 2 72-144hz Freesync Any

And why is that range so important? Having a 2:1 ratio or better allows for something called frame multiplying, or LFC (low-frame rate compensation) as AMD calls it. For example, if you had a 60hz monitor with a 40-60hz range, once you dip below 40hz your adaptive-sync is disabled. But with a 30-60hz range, 29fps would run at 58hz, ensuring a full 1-60fps range.

However, if it's exactly 2:1, the monitor can have issues if you straddle the line, causing flickering, blanking, stuttering, tearing, etc. As a result, a higher ratio is preferred. In this case, Nvidia is more strict in certification.

There's also the issues of monitors with two or more Freesync ranges. They typically come in basic and extended ranges. One example I've personally used was the Samsung C34F791. It's advertised as having a 48-100hz range with LFC. In actuality, it's an 80-100hz range with no LFC by default. When you push this to extended, you get the 48-100hz advertised range. However, this is technically overclocking the scaler. If every model could support this with no issues, we wouldn't have two ranges. The extended range would be the only range. This particular model has excessive flickering issues (though you could get lucky). Samsung and LG, especially, are well known for using cheaper scalers and dual ranges. Samsung and LG also have zero certified monitors in the G-Sync Compatible list. Hopefully this new certification drives them to use better scalers going forward.

Certification Differences - Adaptive-Sync Toggles

The next issue is an instant deal-breaker for G-Sync Compatibility certification. And this one is going to seem odd to anyone who has only used one brand's implementation over the other. For current G-Sync displays, G-Sync is on by default in your Nvidia driver and there's no toggle to enable/disable G-Sync in the monitor's OSD. Nvidia requires that monitors behave the same way with an Nvidia GPU in order to pass their certification.

On most Freesync monitors, you first need to enable the Adaptive-Sync or Freesync setting in the monitor's OSD. This option may be greyed out if an adaptive-sync compatible GPU is not present. When you enable it, you then need to enable Freesync in the AMD driver (and you will need to enable G-Sync in the January 15th Nvidia driver).

Certification Differences - Overdrive

That Freesync toggle brings with it another issue, and this is where critical thinking comes into play. If there was no downside to enabling the feature, why wouldn't it just be on by default? That's because when you enable the feature, other features in the OSD turn off or lock you out. Sometimes it's the color settings, but it's almost universally the overdrive setting.

You see, overdrive is a serious issue for adaptive-sync displays. Many people think that they need a "1ms" monitor, but this isn't how they work. Looking at IPS for example, a 5.5ms response time would be perfectly fine for 144hz, and a 9ms response time would be solid for 60hz. But flip them? A 5.5ms response time at 60hz on an IPS display would lead to gross overshoot/inverse ghosting, or dark smearing. A 9ms response time at 144hz would lead to constantly visible ghosting. This is why monitors have different algorithms for overdrive at each preset refresh rate.

All G-Sync module-based displays have a feature called variable/adaptive overdrive. This means that the algorithms change on the fly to ensure a balanced approach between ghosting and overshoot regardless of the currently displayed refresh rate/frame rate. Freesync? To date only one monitor supports this feature, the Nixeus EDG 27.

And monitor manufacturers know that this is an issue. Early monitors either disabled overdrive entirely or locked to a low setting when Freesync was enabled in the OSD. Asus with their MG279Q tried an interesting approach that got blasted (and is basically a meme today). They set the range at 35-90hz on their 144hz monitor. The idea was to have the overdrive algorithm tuned for around 60hz. If you left the range and capped at 144fps, you'd get the 144hz algo. If you were within range, you'd get the 60hz algo, so ghosting/overshoot wouldn't be too bad.

This means that getting past Nvidia's overdrive certification isn't easy. Of the 12 certified monitors today, 10 use TN panels. There's 1 each of IPS and VA. Bottom line is that manufacturers are going to have to start supporting variable overdrive if they want G-Sync Compatibility certification for their high-refresh IPS or VA gaming displays. Thankfully, Nvidia is pseudo-shaming them here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/g-sync-monitors/specs/

Certification Differences - HDR

There's two certification standards for PC HDR. First is HDR10, which is the overall HDR standard embraced by the PC on all fronts. The second is the VESA DisplayHDR standard, which outlines the specs of the monitor within the broader HDR10 spec.

G-Sync Ultimate requires DisplayHDR1000, which means 1,000 nits peak brightness, full array local dimming (FALD), and other niceties. Freeysnc 2 requires either proper HDR10 certification of any kind, or DisplayHDR400 certification, which is the minimum DisplayHDR certification within the HDR10 spec. Contrary to common misinformation, this is not "fake HDR" any more than the GT 1030 is a fake GPU. It's just the bear minimum. Just like the GT 1030 is better than an Intel iGPU, DisplayHDR400 is better than SDR...barely. Freesync 2 also requires that HDR-capable displays use AMD's low-latency implementation of HDR.

G-Sync (gen 1 module) does not support HDR. G-Sync Compatibility does not require it for certification, but it can work with it. Basic Freesync has no HDR certification.

Summary or "What do I need to know without all the technical mumbo-jumbo!?"

G-Sync Compatibility is just Freesync in a green color. Think of Freesync, Freesync 2, and G-Sync Compatibility as three different certification levels for the open DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync standard. Think of them as Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Your AMD or Nvidia GPU will work with any of them equally well. Want the best performance at a lower price than a traditional G-Sync module-based display? Get something on the G-Sync Compatibility list. Want something close to that in quality, but with certified HDR support? Get a Freesync 2 display. Want a form of adaptive-sync on the cheap? Go with basic Freesync. It will work, but no promises beyond that.

Something on the G-Sync Compatibility list isn't going to work better on an Nvidia GPU than an AMD GPU. And something on the Freesync 2 certification list isn't going to work better on an AMD GPU than an Nvidia GPU.

Upcoming Testing

As with the initial disclaimer, there's a lot of speculation in here based on what I think I know of how the DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync standard works. That means that I could be wrong, so I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I'll begin testing once the driver drops. I have two monitors headed to me now (one loaned from a manufacturer, and one purchased out of my own funds), with hopefully more on the way. I will be comparing these monitors with a GTX 1060 6GB and a Radeon RX 580 8GB. I'll specifically looking at the following areas, and look to see if the monitors behave differently with one GPU or the other:

How do the GPUs behave when within the adaptive-sync range?

How do the GPUs behave when below the adaptive-sync range (LFC engaged)?

How do the GPUs behave when paired with a subpar scaler that is overclocked?

Do Nvidia GPUs have any issues (quality, latency, etc.) with HDR enabled on a Freesync 2 display?

Would a Nixeus EDG 27 (best current Freesync implementation) work as intended with an Nvidia GPU as well?

Current 60hz monitors with a 75hz Freesync mode tend to frame-skip when OC'd to 75hz on Nvidia GPUs - will the new driver fix this?

Hands on testing will be wrapped up over my extended weekend (January 19-21) with Part 2 to follow shortly after that.

How can you help?

I only have two monitors on the way right now, and I'm loathe to spend more money. I just bought a GPU and a monitor specifically for this testing. One manufacturer has been kind enough to send me a sample for this testing after I reached out to them. I'll credit them in the final testing for sure.

But two monitors isn't enough. I'm looking to get my hands on a Freesync 2 display, and a display with a subpar scaler (displays that come with 2 Freesync ranges). Ideally, I'd get both in one (like many Samsung and LG displays).

So, if you live in the Seattle-Tacoma area, and would like to contribute, please post in the comments what you have to offer and we'll work something out. Please do not PM me without first posting, as this weeds out users banned form the sub. Additionally, any assistance provided and any terms (IE, if money changes hands) should be transparent. PMs will only be used for private info (address, contact info, etc.).
