AUOptronics Develops 144 Hz WQHD IPS Panel

btarunr · Sep 9, 2014

Display panel OEM AU Optronics announced development of a new 27-inch AHVA panel. AHVA, or advanced hyper-viewing angle, is AU Optronics' equivalent of LG's IPS panel technology, and is not to be confused with AMVA (advanced multidomain vertical alignment). Codenamed M270DAN02.3, the panel offers stellar refresh rates of 144 Hz, and native resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. Other vitals include 1000:1 contrast ratio, 350 cd/m² maximum brightness, sRGB gamut, and of course, 178°/178° viewing angles. Its introduction could spur growth of "gaming" grade monitors, which come with technologies specific to gaming PCs, such as AMD FreeSync and NVIDIA G-Sync support, that dynamically sync the display's refresh-rate with the frame-rate of the graphics card, to minimize stuttering, and produce a fluid display output.

Not on this monitor, at least not according to the original post.

It isn't a monitor its a panel... which could be used to make a freesync/gsync monitor.

So, basically they made IPS that isn't stuck at 60Hz. That's a good news.

But there is no mention of the pixel response time, so it's probably still at 5 ms which is the speed limit for non-TN screens. So motion on this screen will still be blurry compared to high refresh TN screen.

well no one will be able to afford it anyway.

Why is there a picture of an ASUS monitor attached to this?

Katanai · Sep 9, 2014

ok, now maybe finally there will be no more bitching in the comments section of a monitor. 144Hz, IPS, more than 1080p, there ya go.

EDIT oh wait, just read the comments above this...

Yep.... always the little bitches that complain when a product doesnt do "XXXX" things and also complain when it finally does "XXXX"..... these are called 'idiots' OR, a more internet-goer friendly term, 'trolls'.

Personally, I find this tech more than welcome.

It's a bit confusing, I know, but the article is talking about a display panel, not a monitor. OEM's such as ASUS can source these panels from AUOptronics for use in their end products, wrapping the panel in whatever hardware and design they please.

I believe the inclusion of that particular monitor's image was likely arbitrary in that it's a gaming monitor and this panel is clearly feature-appropriate for use in gaming monitors.
