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

For the extremely fast frame rates, the Nixeus EDG 27S has a maximum refresh rate of 144 Hz that allows smoother gameplay. To compensate for graphically demanding games, the Nixeus EDG 27S has a very good low end adaptive refresh rate of 30 Hz that can adapt to more lower frame rate drops. In terms of pixel density, the Nixeus EDG 27S has an excellent density of 109 pixels-per-inch, resulting in sharper text and picture quality. With the AMD FreeSync support, this monitor is compatible with both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards. The monitor has a VESA mount. The Nixeus EDG 27S has the Display Port and this is essential for NVIDIA cards to work with AMD FreeSync. The monitor panel has good viewing angles and offers better contrast and colors than TN panels. For graphics color quality, the Nixeus EDG 27S has an excellent color depth of 8 -bit, resulting in smoother gradients and more accurate colors. The Nixeus EDG 27S is a relatively new monitor. The brightness of Nixeus EDG 27S is lower than other monitors. The monitor has an unimpressive contrast ratio of 1000 : 1. The minimum response rate of Nixeus EDG 27S is 4 ms, which is can cause ghosting effects. For the average response rate, the Nixeus EDG 27S scores 12 ms, which can cause motion blurring due to ineffective synchronization with the high refresh rate. Nixeus EDG 27S has a total input lag of 20.5 ms, which is bad among the competition.
