Quote:There’s one glaring omission from the screen details above, and that’s the screen type they are using. The astute among you will have already realised that there’s not a popsicle's chance in hell this is going to be a VA or IPS panel with response times that low - it has to be a TN. Urgh.

Except, apparently, not. Urgh.

“I saw this TN panel, they were doing a demonstration in Taipei,” Clemente says, “and the picture quality is probably better than IPS. It’s not quantum dot, you can’t put that on TN, but the quality was really reminiscent of quantum dot. The market has never seen a TN panel with this colour quality. Viewing angles are TN viewing angles, but you don’t care about that.”

If they’re going to be able to qualify the AG273QCX as a HDR screen, then it absolutely has to be the most colourful TN panel ever, and that’s pretty exciting. It’s not going to have the same eye-searing luminance as its G-Sync HDR cousin, but FreeSync 2’s demands are much more relaxed than Nvidia’s.
