Uncalibrated – Maximum Backlight Level
Though the P2510S isn’t the brightest monitor of the group, it has enough output for use indoors. It exceeds its 300-nit rating and in the contrast test, rises to third place thanks to solid black levels. At 1,157.8:1, it is slightly above the IPS average in this test.
After Calibration to 200 nits
Calibration adds a few points to the P2510S’s contrast score; it’s now a bit shy of 1,200:1, which is excellent performance. The ASRock is a clear over-achiever among IPS screens, but if you want maximum dynamic range in an LCD panel, the VA-based CQ27G3Z is a great choice.
The P2510S maintains consistent contrast in the ANSI test with a score of 1,130.6:1. This shows excellent component selection and quality control on Titan Army’s part. This is a budget screen built to a premium standard.
Test Takeaway: The P2510S has better than average contrast when compared to other IPS monitors. It shows excellent consistency across all the tests which puts it on par with many more expensive displays. It isn’t super bright, but it is more than bright enough for indoor use. With solid black levels, it delivers a satisfying image with good depth and saturation.
