27" Nixeus EDG 27 gaming monitor performance benchmarks: response, input and full specs review

The Nixeus EDG 27 is a relatively new monitor. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. For the extremely fast frame rates, the Nixeus EDG 27 has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Nixeus EDG 27 has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 30 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. The Nixeus EDG 27 has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. For graphics color quality, the Nixeus EDG 27 has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The monitor has a VESA mount. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. In terms of pixel density, the Nixeus EDG 27 has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. For the average response rate, the Nixeus EDG 27 scores 12 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. The brightness of Nixeus EDG 27 is lower than other monitors. The minimum response rate of Nixeus EDG 27 is 4 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. Nixeus EDG 27 has a total input lag of 21.5 ms, which is bad among the competition.
