Im pointed to plasma, which dont always have a nice Refresh Rate or are very high priced. Seeing as i run dual cards, i want to get the highest resolution i can to have the greatest impact on performance so im considering getting one of those monitors. It seems cool and all but can i just get the monitor for its ability to have such a high refresh rate to play at max performance without screen flicker or do i have to go all the way? Thanks for all your answers as always, but to finish things up what do i need to consider as far as ports for purchasing these monitors?
I see that people mention going dual dvi, keeping the HD display, the hz refresh AND have reduced input lag The monitors mention there is less in DVI mode only, but the alienware monitor i mentioned only has one DVI port. Is all that required? How bad is the lag if any if i just plug a HDMI cable in to one of those babies? All in all id like some good recommendations for a Hz Monitor not worried about the price and what to look for when shopping for one.
Are you definitely going to use 3d vision? Are your graphics cards capable of a sustained fps in the games you want to play at the intended resolution? Do you think you can tell the difference between 60fps and fps? With CRTs the flicker is produced by the image being re-drawn in front of you 60 times a second 60hz.
Some people can detect the little gap between one image being drawn on screen, it fading away, then the next one being drawn. So it is only the colour of the pixel that is being 're-freshed' 60 times a second, not the entire image on screen. So with LCD, 60hz translates into a maximum of 60 fps displayable on the monitor. This is why you need to enable vsync, so that it caps the output from your gfx card to the maximum that your 60hz monitor can display - 60 fps.
Getting back to the point, you won't see any less 'flicker' on a hz vs a 60hz, as there is none, what you might be describing is ghosting due to a high response time, but that is separate. What you have to do is find out if you can see the difference between a solid 60fps and a solid fps on two low response monitors, then work out if your rig can output a solid fps at your desired settings.
There will be a difference in smoothness, fps will undoubtedly be smoother than 60, but can you tell. Its all down to the person, and personally I find that I can tell the difference between a constant 60fps, and a varying rate of say. A solid 60 is perceptively smoother.
So for me, personally, I would rather have a rig and low response LCD that are both capable of showing me a constant 60fps without any fluctuation, than one that is capable of fps, but in reality will be fluctuating all the time. First of all id like to thank you for your very descriptive post of very important information, it further helps my understanding of monitors. Now that you explain what it was that i really saw im starting to wonder what it exactly was.
I noticed the supposed "flicker" on two games, one being WoW and the other being Dawn of War 2. Now that you mention the vsync, I did have it disabled and my system specs DO allow me to run very high frame rates.
This lead me to believe this is what i really saw and enabling vsync made this disappear. Not exactly all at fps, but the idea of capping your framerate makes me feel like my rig specs go to waste, which is why im turning to a hz monitor. Even on battlefield bad company 2 with 8xMSAA max settings id consistently get fps And as far as how much ill notice the change between 60hz vs hz id say its damn noticeable with my HDTV just watching movies.
Just watched my Blu-Ray Evangelion 2. In case you dont know, the movie in question is a flippin animation. The fluidity of the animation and video itself just blew me away. Not sure if its my eyes or just the fact that i wear glasses, but things like that become very noticeable for me very fast.
This all considered, am in the good to where a hz monitor would benefit me? Apr 23, 1, 0 19, Depending on games you are playing, in order for fps to be a regular occurance you would be needing to update your GPUs very very regularly.
I cannot really state whether it is worth you getting mhz or not as a constant Framerate is all that matters to me - once I am beyond 30fps games are playable and if I have a steady constant fps above that I am perfectl happy and cannot tell the difference at higher fps - maybe my eyes just aren't good enough But you just have to keep in mind that games push cards to their limits so quickly these days, and we have seen from benchmarks that Direct X 11 really cripples FPS, IF you even can tell much difference between and 60fps, how long will you actually get to have fps?
Also, with 60mhz and vsync, as MMc stated, you get a constant FPS particualrly if your card exceeds 60fps and most will find that gives a smoother looking gameplay than having your fps jumping from Personally, I don't see 60mhz as a capping of my expensive GPUs, I see it as a license to push my GPUs as hard as they can with all the settings to make the game look as good as possible.
At mhz you will want to try keep your fps at that kind of lvl which means sacrificing quality settigns for it otherwise you are in the opposite side of the same boat - instead of feeling capped by 60mhz thus wasting the power of your GPU, you have all the settings maxed and an FPS much lower than and feel you are notgetting the most out of your monitor.
In all honesty I think it depends on what games you will play that will truly cripple the framerate. Im sure your thinking since i mentioned battlefield that ill be playing the new crysis and all that shiny shtuff. In that respect i say nay, rather I plan to play mmorpgs since im more of that type of gamer.
However with every advantage there comes a few disadvantages. As shiny and amazing hz monitors are, they are very small and i dont expect them getting bigger any time soon. After taking a break from my 24" monitor and getting a 42" hz HDTV i would say it would be hard to go back to another little monitor when i get my hz one. Support UI. X Donate Contact us.

Nov 2, 2 0 18, 0. After being talked into buying hz vs 60hz, why is my hz tv running at 60hz? Jun 3, 0 18, I'd e-mail someone at samsung. Looks to be automatic, what happens when you play a Bluray disk as the signal source. It could be that it needs to be set up in the TV via the menu and dropdowns. It could be that it automatically switches depending on the input.
It would help us if you provided the manufacturer and the model number and the signal source and its model number. I don't know what the signal source is. Apr 19, 7, 4 50, 2, This are the only exception. Sorry if I sound a little harsh, but if you are looking for a specific functionality then you gotta do your own research and not solely rely on other people to make your decision.

Or on the other end of the "dial," it's cranked up so that there's even less motion blur, but the movement is hyper-realistic and for many, distractingly unreal. Some TVs let you choose how much of this processing gets applied to the image, others have just a single setting.
More on these settings further down. The other alternative is black frame insertion BFI or a scanning backlight. This is where all or part of the backlight of the TV turns off goes black. This effectively means the image doesn't "hold" in place, so your brain doesn't blur it. Do it poorly, however, and many people will see the image flicker.
The light output of the TV also drops, as it's not outputting any light for a period of time. Both of these techniques are what manufacturers use to come up with their "effective refresh rate" numbers. For example, a TV with a 60Hz refresh and a scanning backlight might claim to have an effective refresh rate of A TV with a more elaborate BFI mode, and frame interpolation, might have a claimed effective refresh rate of " It's also possible these features, when enabled, are bothersome over time.
Some people are especially sensitive to a flickering backlight, so you might need to turn these features off. If you're concerned about that, or notice motion blur, it's best to find a TV that actually has a Hz refresh rate. There are two things at play here. The first is simple, and one we've said many times before: don't trust marketing. At least, don't trust it at face value. Marketing is designed to sell you a product, not give you information about a product.
That's secondary. The second is being able to reduce motion blur. When Hz p TVs first hit the market, they offered a noticeable improvement in motion resolution. The technology has only gotten better. But if you're sensitive to motion blur, or you want to get the most from your Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 , it is worth checking for a true Hz TV.
It would be a shame to let all that extra 4K resolution go to waste due to blur. It's also worth checking reviews for measurements and subjective takes on how the TV handles motion -- that's more useful than any manufacturer-supplied spec.
