What reviewers say
Reviewers agree G-Sync Pulsar gives excellent motion clarity with VRR, and praise the fast response, low input lag and strong factory calibration. The common criticisms are IPS's low contrast and the lack of meaningful HDR; TFTCentral noted Pulsar only works with NVIDIA graphics cards, and RTINGS saw some image duplication with it.
