When I went looking for displays to compare the P32A2S2’s performance, I only found 27-inch models in the QHD 240 Hz format. The group is HP’s Omen 27qs, RCA’s M27PG135F, BenQ’s EX270QM, and AOC’s AG274QG and CQ27G3Z.

Most 240 Hz displays can draw a full white field in 4ms with a few taking 5ms. This difference is hard to see in test patterns or actual content. As long as the overdrive is good, you won’t see much, if any, motion blur at 240fps. The P32A2S2 is in the quick group at 4ms, and its overdrive is excellent. Quick motion was super smooth with no ghosting whatsoever.

Most impressive is the P32A2S2’s very low input lag. I’ve only seen a handful of 240Hz monitors crack the 20ms barrier, notably Titan Army’s own P2510S and a couple of OLEDs. This screen is operating in 360 and 500Hz territory regarding actual response and feel.

Test Takeaway: The P32A2S2 is one of the fastest monitors you can buy regardless of price or refresh rate. While higher frame rates, or an OLED, will be a tad smoother, they won’t necessarily be more responsive to control inputs. In competition, a monitor like this gives a distinct advantage to the player.

Viewing Angles

The P32A2S2 shows off-axis image quality that’s equal to the best IPS screens I’ve photographed. The side view is slightly cooler in tone but has no apparent reduction in brightness. Gamma stays consistent which means the picture does not lose detail or clarity. The top view is visibly green with a 30% light reduction and some loss of detail.

The P32A2S2 stayed under 10% in my uniformity test which means it has no visible issues when showing a full black field pattern in a darkened room. There were no hotspots, glow or bleed in my review sample. Gray and primary color patterns also looked uniform, and no aberrations were observed.

    Stop saying "No internal speakers or USB ports" is a con, to some people it's a plus, it's all personal taste and not just a bias reporter !

    Exactly - why pay for speakers that are never going to be used?

    Well, USB ports on monitor could be useful, while internal speakers - absolutely agree with you, they are useless. They are just one step above old PC beeper. Sound quality is nonexistant. I don't know why they keep including them, if only to rise price.
