UPERFECT GR16DQ: what it gives up
- It draws power from the host and passes none back, so the laptop battery drains faster
- 9 ms grey-to-grey is slow for a 120 Hz panel — the refresh rate is smoother than the pixels are
- 100% sRGB is a standard-gamut panel, so wide-gamut photo and video work is out
- No adaptive sync, so a game that drops below 120 fps tears
Arzopa Z1FC: what it gives up
- 13 ms grey-to-grey undoes much of what 144 Hz buys — the panel cannot keep up with the scan rate
- No adaptive sync, so frame rates that wander produce tearing
- It takes power from the host and gives none back, so a laptop or handheld drains faster
- 300 nits and 1000:1 is an ordinary panel; the refresh rate is the only standout number
- No VESA mount and no height adjustment — the built-in kickstand sets the angle
