Nvidia Unveils G-Sync Pulsar Backlight Strobing
Nvidia on January 7 unveils G-Sync Pulsar, a display technology that combines G-Sync frame-rate syncing with row-based backlight strobing. Nvidia says Pulsar pulses the backlight in rows four times per frame, claiming a 250Hz Pulsar display can feel like 1,000Hz; it requires 1440p panels at a minimum 360Hz, with four 27-inch models starting at $599.
Key Points
- 1Combines G-Sync frame-syncing with row-based backlight strobing pulsed four times per frame
- 2Reduces motion blur and LCD pixel transition ghosting, with Nvidia claiming 250Hz feels like 1,000Hz
- 3Requires 1440p/360Hz panels; launches Jan 7 with four 27-inch models starting at $599
Scoring Rationale
Official Nvidia product launch with novel strobing claims, but confined to niche high-refresh 1440p/360Hz gaming displays.
