Guys, why don't you game on a 144hz monitor? Are you

Too expensive for a monitor in my opinion.

Because I love this shit.

what is the difference?

>>259038772
Just about nothing. Refresh rate != frame rate. There IS a limit to what the human eye can detect with refresh rate.

>>259037420

What monitor is that and why is it awesome?

>>259038963
Refresh rate is very much the same as frame rate for a not-shit computer.

What kind of shitty toaster are you running on?

>>259038963
there might be
but it sure isn't 60fps

>>259037037
because I can't find one that has really good colours

Waiting for 240hz to be standard or at least not so expensive.

>>259038963
If you were shown information at even 10 fps you wouldn't be able to take it all in.

However being shown something for 1/1000 of a second just once you can still tell what it is.

Human eyes don't work on fps.

>>259037037
Because I work and play on the same 30" monitor, and I value view angle/color stability and more vertical resolution over deeper blacks or maximum frame rate.

My ideal display would be a 40"+ 4k IPS/PLS/*VA screen with adaptive refresh that could do at least 90Hz.
120 would be nice, and 144 would be wonderful, but diminishing returns and rising GPU-induced power bills keep me from demanding it.

Because my Chinese cartoons don't even get above 30

>>259037037
But I do, op. It's either the same one in your picture, or one that's bloody similar.
I stick to 120hz though

>>259037037
Because muh IPS.

>>259040440

For now, 60 fps is enough for me.

Maybe in the future when I'm not a poorfag anymore.

>>259037037
I don't play at a level that would benefit from it so better colors and size is more important to me.

I'm okay with going 1080p@60fps and I would have to buy a new table for the monitor

>>259040378
Speaking of NSA, this thing has this little thing at the bottom, that looks like a hidden camera, it also has a light flashing inside of the monitor, even when it's turned off, you can see it through the ventilation things on top.
I'm not making this up.

>>259040491

Is that always there or can you disable it?

>>259041847
No. That's like saying that out would be stupid to program gpgpu using opencl. NVidia sets the standards here.

The new DP1.3/HDMI2.0 one won't be out for a while, but speculation is that it could be notably more expensive as they shift their branding from Cheap Chinese Shit to "almost as good as Korean, we swear" shit.

CS weapons have terrible accuracy if you move at all but still it would probably be easier aiming no scope with AWP

>>259042318

>>259042617
It's like playing at 40fps on a 60Hz screen. You'd need a 120Hz monitor to not get tearing at 60FPS.

You can disable it and there are some other crosshairs to choose from also, all in that same awful size though.

>>259041921
I'd had loved a tiny standard crosshair as a feature, just to have a consistent crosshair between multiple games.

Also, what is this thing in the pic, can someone tell?
I'm getting paranoid

>>259041681
Seems to be the colors are gude too
I have another question though, when you play for several hours, is it easy on your eyes?
In comparison to your previous monitor / a laptop monitor

I find that my 2009 Laptop with an absolute dirt cheap shit screen seems to be less stressing than most older Desktop LCDs

Now I recently built a decent PC, so I'm wondering if newer LCDs are better

>>259039464
This guy is kewl, cuz he has same GPU as me
But then is a pleb cuz he doesnt have a 4790k like me.

>>259042905
My FS2333 has one of those. You can have it detect the amount of light and adjust the screen brightness.

>>259042889
So you agree that owning a higher hz monitor is superior then?

>>259037037

Not enough of a benefit between 120Hz to 144Hz to justify the cost.

>>259043505
Oh, that's nice then.
I don't have to be paranoid about fapping anymore.

It's just that I don't remember this kind of feature being mentioned anywhere, and then there's the constantly flashing leds inside of the monitor when it's turned off.

>>259042889
That shouldn't be a problem, I'm pretty sure you will be able to switch to 72fps, which I'd prefer over 60hz anyways

Oh and if you want to use it for 3D you'll also have 72hz (for each eye seperately)

I haven't actually compared 3D on 120hz vs on 144hz though, it might just be a minor difference

>>259043281
So far it's been easy on my eyes, even when playing and browsing for hours straight.
Colors are nice for a TN panel, but can't compete with IPS monitors.

>>259037037
Because my 120 Hz monitor is the best for its price/size.

>>259044358
Which one?

If you have a BenQ monitor, it's inferior to ASUS and AOC.

>>259039241

>240hz
>standard

What game that does not run on a toaster reaches 240fps?

Because there aren't any 144Hz 30"+ 4K IPS monitors yet.

Until then, i'm happy with my current 30 incher.

>>259044495
Turning off sngle settings can often bump fps by 30-40.

>>259043537
He's saying you need an integer multiple of 60 to not get screen tearing.

>>259044464
BenQ XL2720T for 330 6 months ago.

Not for that price.

>>259044495
I think it's to be able to play smoothly in 3D, so you can play 3D but still at 120hz

Then again there's indeed not much software for that anyways and yeah for new games to support this you'd probably need a beast of a machine

>>259037037

>Guys, why don't you game on a 144hz monitor?
Because I don't play any games competitively right now where high frame rate matters, only one I do much MP in is SupCom and before that EVE. My PC is also my workstation for graphics design and such. So Resolution + Color > refresh. I'm waiting for 5k+ displays with 10-12 bit/channel (Rec 2020) for my next refresh, and if that means staying on 60 Hz I'm fine with that.

Sure, all else being equal if those displays are 100 Hz or 120 Hz or 144 Hz then great, I'd even pay a tiny premium, but it's by far the least important part of a monitor to me.

We're in sight (harhar) though of the end of display advancement for human eyes. Can't wait for wearable displays with retinal scanning displays that exceed the resolution, dynamic range, and refresh of the human visual system. Hopefully within a decade and that'll be it, no more differentiation between mobile/desktop, awesome everywhere, normal use/VR/AR. Shit has so much potential.

>>259037037

Because free/2$ crt at 60hz is smoother.

As far as I know, 4K monitors are pretty much limited to 30 fps and I don't think 5K will break that limit any time soon.

>>259045328
>CRT at 60 hz
That's absolutely disgusting. The CRT flicker below 90 hz is unbearable.

>>259045328
60hz CRT is not smoother than 144hz LCD. If you think so, you must have never tried them side by side.

Sure, CRT's are still amazing, but if you have a 144hz monitor, it most likely also supports lightboost. If you go 120hz + lightboost, it's VERY similar to how oldschool CRT's look and feel.

>>259045626

I guess, I wish it was just a general industry standard though rather then nvidia only shit. It's not much good if it's some special feature rather then just a normal thing that's everywhere. It doesn't even make sense to be greedy over, it's not a money spinner. As a result it's going to get replaced sooner rather then later. GG nvidia, you made a graphics version of firewire.

>>259045328

The best resolution for gaming is 1920 by 1200.

>>259045873

>>259046035
>Assuming typo, not assburgers.
Yup.

But how much will does 60Hz affect the price of the 4k's. Last time I checked, they were incredibly unreasonable and not worth it at all.
That said, I'm probably far behind on monitor tech.

>>259046497
Because 16:9 is awful for playing games, and 1200p gives you enough detail while being a manageable resolution for your graphics card.

>>259045897
Lightboost just makes the colors even worse.

what's the point if the human eye can't see past 60 fps?

It's not about human stability, it's about the rate of information being summed into a rate that can't be processed anywhere else. Don't get all your knowledge from Wikipedia, refresh rate is what separates you from being able to tell your first double jumps from your last mistake.

>>259046035
>Also, WTF is 5k? Assuming typo, not assburgers.
Not a typo. "5k" is one informal naming of a doubling of 2560x1600, technical reference is WHXGA. A lot of you guys purely talk in terms of 4k, doubling 1080p, but that's for TVs (and initial screens that share production lines). Computer monitors aren't restricted that way, and can have many different aspect ratios and resolutions. Standards have been defined all the way up to QUHD, 15360x8640, though that's of doubtful value outside of massive projection systems or perhaps very specialist applications (like a large xray imager). Still, engineers have thought ahead.

For me 4k isn't very interesting, too small to be a useful jump over what we've got right now. 5k is about the minimum I'd want, and really full 16:10 8K (WHUXGA) in a 32" would be perfect since I could have double PPI for sharp details and fonts combined with lots of workable area. That though is likely a long way off, in the mean time I'd settle for less.

>>259047194
IPS 1440p 27" with 144hz and G-Sync.

It will never happen though.

>>259047227
Nothing can fix the colors man. Lightboost just makes the monitor about 40% dimmer for just a little less blur. Calibrated it as close to my IPS monitor as I could and it's still way off.

>>259041921
The only one I can think of is Killing Floor since weapons are accurate without aiming, but after a while you don't even need the crosshair

>>259037037
I bought one last monday. The difference to 60hz is huge. Everything is so much smoother. I use TN for my chinese cartoons.

I experimented with lightboost, made everything too dark for for my opinion.

Yeah. The color yellow does not seem to adjust at all. If you turn the constrast and brightness to 100% it looks almost the same as 10%. The other colors sort of change, so I was able to calibrate it to get blacks and darker colors to show up.

>>259047609

That though is likely a long way off, in the mean time I'd settle for less.
Also, for WHUXGA current and even the next cable standards aren't really enough either, we'd probably want silicon photonics and in turn cheap optical links to make that happen. Back when Intel was demoing LightPeak, before it became the copper based Thunderbolt, I'd hoped we had that just around the corner but they seem to have backed off for another few years unfortunately. We're probably going to have wait a while for 100 Gbps links even though it's on roadmaps.

As a 2560x1600 bro, I have never heard of this and am highly skeptical.

I think 16:10 will sadly die with the 4k generation, and that 5120x3200 is almost certainly never gonna happen.

I'm so smart I designed my monitor to run at 75Hz under 720P conditions.

Now I can't tell what the fuck is going on 5 meters away from me on my 21'' monitor.

Because I'm playing at 4K. It's more future proof than 61Hz and will get more optimization and support from the industry.

That's stupid. You can not get tearing if you use V-sync with triple buffering at any refresh rate your monitor supports. Just use a program to force it. G-sync works as a replacement for that.

>More future proof
>4k
Nigga that word doesn't even apply to this. However let me break it down to you like this. There currently isn't a big difference in detail between 1080p and higher resolutions. I run a higher resolution. I can tell you this first hand. However you can tell the difference easily between 60 and 120hz. So you are guaranteed to be able to get full advantage of 120hz. Not true of 4k. At least not anytime soon.

Of course with a higher resolution you get less aliasing, but there is AA for that.

>>259049123
Pretty much. However even if you can still only get 100fps, you can just set it to 100hz and the smoothness will still be very noticeable compared to 60hz.

>>259049478
Why set it to 100? Why not just let it get 100fps?

>>259049123
Not entirely.
Tearing and motion blur is drastically reduced even is your framerate is inconsistent.
And no vsync means significantly less input delay.

Refreshrate = Framerate is mandatory though if you have a strobing backlight display.

>As a 2560x1600 bro, I have never heard of this and am highly skeptical.
Wat. This is all standard stuff, literally, the standards and naming have existed for years and years. 4K was defined long before any products were actually created outside of labs, same with the rest. You can read about stuff like Rec. 2020 or others at organizations like the International Telecommunication Union and so forth. If you don't follow any of that fair enough, most people don't follow any of it either and it probably doesn't directly affect you until products exist. It's not just a real thing though it's an old thing.

As far as 16:10, I'm hoping it survives at least on the high end. It still seems to be popular for graphics design work and other higher end displays, and Apple also continues to push it hard and like it or not they've definitely got the money and volume to make it happen. Their high end notebook is 2880x1800 remember, they could have gone 16:9 when they made that but they didn't. If they, NEC, Eizo, and some of the others can keep up some volume, well it's not out of the question.

>>259049123
>the game

Realize that some older games or stylized modern games can easily do 120Hz even at high resolutions.

I'm perfectly convinced that various standards bodies have tables of resolutions that people might theoretically ever want to support, but I don't see the industry ever bothering to support almost any of them.

>>259048898
>DP 1.3 will bring VESA compression as well.
There's no magic in the compression world, it's a hack that's useful some but not all of the time. Fundamentally there is display stuff that just is not losslessly compressible, though I guess in practice most of the time it may work pretty well, and probably better then nothing. I don't consider it a true replacement for just having enough bandwidth however, but I know engineering is the art of the possible. If we always waited for perfection we'd never get anywhere.

Not sure what you mean by "support" here anon. As long as the bandwidth is there and someone wants to manufacture it then it'll be "supported", the resolution definitions don't need anything else. Every takes into account scaling. The only times it would get weird is with some non-defined resolution or with non-square pixels, but anyone could use anything from the tables if they wanted to, just a matter of money.

>Fewer overlapping feature points are cheaper to develop and thus more profitable.
Only in low margin mass manufacturing. The other approach is to use these sorts of things as a differentiator that allows them to charge much more then the cost to increase. Again, Apple, NEC, Eizo and so on all show this approach can be extremely profitable. They don't go after 80% of the market but they make lots and lots of money. Most people don't demand 16:10 (sadly) or hardware integrated calibration support or whatever, but those that do are willing to pay good money for it.

Obviously this is all speculation, who knows. But I don't think it's wild optimism either, I think 16:10 has enough attraction with enough of the market to justify continuing smaller scale production.

Why are VA panels so uncommon? they seem like an extremely effective compromise.

>>259051418
IPS has gotten cheaper, TN has gotten faster. VAs have ended up in an uncomfortable middle ground, jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none territory. Those who pay the most (usually for display quality) want IPS or something better, the small savings of VA is irrelevant, those who want the absolute highest refresh go TN, and those who just want the cheapest possible go cheap ass TN. That's most of the market, in an industry that runs heavily on mass manufacturing or high margins. I've got a few VA displays and they were a decent enough idea at the time, but nowadays I don't know if I'd bother.

Also LCDs last a good long while, so somebody who wants more display quality but is also cheap can likely find very good IPS screens used with a bit of hunting. Just looking at some manufacturer refurb places right now I see some still very nice (but now a few years old) screens that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend for a lot of non-pro people that are like 40-60% off list. I don't think I'd choose VA new over a very high end IPS refurb usually when they're the same price.

Yes, I am aware of the pigeon-hole principle, and never even tried to claim it was lossless.

Go read the whitepaper, the compression scheme is probably much better than you think:
> http://www.vesa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/VESA_DSC-ETP200.pdf

Also, please be a little more reasonable about the state of silicon photonics.
Even carrier-grade communications with optical transceivers in the tens of thousands of dollars struggle to pass 10 Gbps per channel, with 2.5 Gbps being vastly cheaper.
Putting 10+ optical channels for a monitor to get something like 8k@120+Hz will not be economical anywhere in the next decade, given even best case scenarios for a new materials science breakthrough.

I run BF4 @ 60hz without aa/2xmsaa (high settings). I don't think it'll ever get higher if i use v-sync.
If i buy a 144hz monitor and disable v-sync.
Will i be able to run the game at at least 100 + hz without tearing?
OR, will it tear if i disable v-sync if i do not reach the max amount of fps for my monitor?
Sorry if i made it difficult to understand the question.

PWM is negative actually. But backlight strobing is good. It can induce headache for people sensitive to that, but it greatly reduces motion blur. Which is the main advantage of 120Hz screens really.

>>259052939
>although I wish there was more of a market for compromises, like cherry mx browns in keyboards (not sure how apt the analogy is but whatever)
Keyboards aren't subject to the same economy of scale requirements. It's possible to do far more niche runs. Anything that involves major silicon fabbing though tends to want to congregate around as few standards as possible, usually with a very high end and very low end, and even those often tend to squeeze together until something disruptive comes along. When your physical matter inputs (silicon, some metals, electricity) cost pennies/dollars but the facility itself costs billions that's just the economics. Winners win big, losers lose big.

>I'm aiming to get a p2314h for general use and gaming anyway, so ips is fine for me, just wonder what a VA would be like
I've got a very high end IPS, a solid older VA, and it's a compromise panel. Noticeably worse color and viewing angles then the IPS, but noticeably better then TN. It's got fewer features too but that's not the fault of the panel.

The thing is though that like 6-8 years ago a good big IPS was like $1000+ and the *VA could be half that or less. Now looking around and big IPS displays can be found for sub $500, even sub $400. They don't have as many features either but they've got good panels and calibrate alright, if not perfectly. VAs aren't made as much though so their prices haven't dropped as much either. When saving $600-800, that's significant even for a prosumer, particularly if it's a secondary display. But when saving only $100-200? For something used constantly for many years? Eh. Inclination is to just spring for the IPS, or if I wanted high refresh get that.

>Also, please be a little more reasonable about the state of silicon photonics.
Not sure where you thought I was unreasonable anon, thought I was pretty clear in saying that I don't see it happening commercially for a long, long time. I said that back during the LightPeak stuff I was hopeful but that was years ago and it obviously didn't work out at that point.

Still, Intel's continued to be busy with demos. They demoed a 100 Gbps silicon photonics fiber link at IDF Beijing this year, and for datacenters talked about 1.6 Tbps MXC last year. I think they still claim Thunderbolt is on track for 100 Gbps by 2018, though I haven't followed it closely and maybe the schedule has slipped. Since the cables have the brains though rather then being dumb they'd presumably be really expensive, even more so then copper ones.

Still, there's no real hope for screens with high enough res to need that before 2018 either I suspect. I'm not basing plans around it or anything, I just think it's promising looking forward.

4K is already a standard amongst high end TVs and the movie industry is supporting it with remastered releases, too.
Games will not get optimized for 120Hz, you won't achieve it with any new graphically or computationally intense release.
I'm sure you are aware that 120FPS are harder to achieve than 4K res as modern GPUs didn't increase clock rates but went with more simultaneous processing capability.
The extremly high PPI values displays can achieve relative to what is in use also spreak for the easy switch to 4K.

You shouldn't be using it to hook up a PC unless it's a laptop.

HDMI is for TVs. There's a reason why your GPU gives you underscan/overscan menus when you use HDMI. You should be using DVI or DisplayPort, because those are meant for monitors and correctly display the image almost 100% of the time and can go over 60hz. Plus why do you need audio on a monitor? The speakers are almost always shit in them anyways.

Because you run several years old games on hardware that almost doubled in transistor density every 2 years - or the game was a visually dumbed down console port or indy trash to begin with. It's like saying you can decompress a file (movie) faster or with less relative performance requirement than a PC from 2005 - doesn't come at a surprise as the algorithm didn't become more demanding over night.

Single link is, but Dual Link (which is more expensive and has tighter cable reqs) did 2560x1600 fine. How did you think all those screens were driven back in the early 00s?

These days though I don't know that you'd find anything without DP instead, which is much better in a lot of ways (including not having the clock signaling requirements DVI did). So it's a non-issue, we've got standardization in the PC world on something good happily. Too bad TV ended up on HDMI.

They always bandwidth starve everything and are commonly using bad sources too (many places still are using old MPEG2 digital tapes). Broadcast is irrelevant, but no one expects much from it anyway.

Where exactly do you live? Seriously. SD got entirely phased out years ago here, there isn't even a single channel left of it, let alone a "majority."

>>259059415
What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to convert an HDMI port to DP or a DP port to HDMI? Either way it's still going to be limited to that of HDMI, because in each scenario 1 end of the connection is using HDMI.

>>259059734
You can't claim it's an industry standard when the industry doesn't use it.

>>259059561
I'm aware, it's just the signal between both channels is not versatile.

If an hdmi signal is outputted you won't be getting a display port signal from the other end, but the vice versa works, and encouraging display port isn't bad, it's just if you're a consumer and own a HDTV or something another, chances are it doesn't come with a display port, enabling you with very few options regarding refresh rate and other benefits for the computer centric device, Displayport.

Is VGA @ 1920x1080 as awful as it sounds?

>>259059408

But the industry does use it. It's the standard. All BD, all standard Internet video, and all broadcast in first world countries (the ones that actually matter commercially).

Why would you need 4k when you can run at 1440p 120hz?

What's the point if it's still 60hz.

btw, not everybody runs 1 GPU

What about these new "ultra-wide" displays?
I saw a 25' ultra wide from LG that seems pretty good.
But I'm scared of playing games with shitty black bars or that new resolution being TOO taxing.

>Is 720p, not 4k.
>goalpost shifting
I responded to >>259058275 where you said "media has barely reached 720p" which is entirely, ludicrously wrong. 1080p has been normal for a long time now, and my first 720p show is from 2006, and everything shifted to at least 720p within a year or so after that.

4K has only just started to get going, of course that's not close to universal yet. It'll take 4-5 years probably, just like in the past. But all the parts are industry standards and coming together on time, and the normal progression is happening. Manufacturing is ramping up, software codecs are getting updated (HEVC), etc. It's not going to be in <$400 cheap boxes for a long time, but it's rapidly dropping into high-end territory too. Media will follow hardware penetration, with some early adopters, a large middle rush, and then some late ones trickling in, just like always.

>>259061740
Let's look at that post.
>4k isn't readily available

Yes. That's true. It's not an industry standard as you claimed in >>259057295.

That wasn't me. My first post was >>259058647 and I talked only about 1080p.

As far "industry standard" though yeah, UHDTV is in fact an "industry standard" published by the ITU. Rec. 2020 and all that were finalized and put up back in 2012. High end TVs are starting to use it, some media is starting to as well, and that's how it goes, we've all been on this ride many times before (well, those of us who aren't that young). Film intended for theater release is generally mastered at higher res then 1080p, so it's pretty trivial for them to produce high res releases and cheap easy money. Not sure what you find confusing about all this.

They aren't the same, but they are linked.

Refresh rate is how many times per second your monitor refreshes the image. FPS is how many images your GPU sends per second.

So a 144hz monitor is capable of displaying anything up to 144fps.

As for a limit, if there is one, we haven't yet reached it.

>>259062538
Listen, you were called out and you were wrong.
4k is a standard nowhere. It's no use to appeal to cinema because they have resolutions higher than that, and have done for decades.

4k is literally a gimmick at this point.

>>259062805
No, you have been proven objectively wrong. You obviously don't even have the slightest clue what a standard even is and probably live in BR land or some shit. You can have our table scraps in like 10 years, meanwhile the real world is moving on.

>>259060334
>A: DisplayPort-to-HDMI adaptors and DisplayPort-to-DVI adaptors are very simple and only operate one way. For instance, when a DP-to-HDMI adaptor is connected to a PC that supports DP++ (Dual-Mode) capability, the PC senses the presence of the adaptor and sends HDMI signals over the DisplayPort connector rather than DisplayPort signals. No signal conversion is performed by the HDMI adaptor. HDMI signals are merely passed through. The unique DisplayPort adaptor capability enables the PC to connect to a variety of displays via the DisplayPort connector including HDMI, DVI, and VGA. VGA adaptors are more complex and perform active signal conversion from DisplayPort to VGA. These adaptors also operate only one way. Unfortunately, HDMI does not support conversion to other display formats as does DisplayPort.

http://www.displayport.org/faq/

direct from the DP site.

HDMI signal is carried over DP, not sent exclusively or changed like most other conversions, it simply travels along it regularly. So DP is not limited to HDMI port range, but more accurately, the socket will only interpret HDMI. And it's still kind of bullshit because I've gotten my games to run at 75Hz before the recent catalyst update, so I don't know what exactly happened, if I changed HDMI cables or what, but it is possible.

I do. My monitor is more expensive than my stupid graphics card.
It's kinda dumb, but I play a few games on medium settings to get 144 fps. The others I just play on high settings and settle with 60 fps.

Why do I do it?
Because I'm a nerd who enjoys playing competitively.

>>259063063
>I-I win!
Hilarious mate, talk about grasping at straws.

>>259037037
I'm going to use this opportunity to correct myself: I recently posted that my ASUS VG 248 QE had "ghosting" problems or something of the nature. I have fixed the issue. The monitor has an option in its menu called "tracefree". Naive as I was when I first turned the thing on I went through those menu options and since "tracefree" sounds like a good thing I cranked that slider up. Turn that shit off and the ghosting was resolved. Least useful feature ever.

P.S. I don't think lightboost is helpful in any way either. Maybe my version was broken but I experimented - after fixing the "tracefree traces" problem - and without making the monitor really fucking bright I couldn't see any improvement in the demos they have on their site, flying saucers, scrolling images and whatnot. No advantage to lightboost. I have sensitive eyes and use a low brightness setting so even if there were advantages when increasing the brightness I couldn't benefit from them. So fuck lightboost, waste of time if you're like me.

No I explicitly asked first if I was going to get a loss of quality due to conversion and you're actually not losing anything at all.

>>259063768
Then what was the problem originally? I never said that you'd lose quality, I was only saying that you'd still get HDMI limits, as in 60hz limitations and whatever HDMI's resolution limit is.

>>259063887
That's the point of my question, I wasn't asking if you'd magically get Displayport signals, I was asking if the same signal was being sent or a conversion took place, enabling loss of color, refresh rate, etc.

>>259064697
You're not getting the point here. You have the definition of standard right, but what the anon is referring to is that 4K, let alone 1080p is not very common in the average home. Most people have 720p TVs still, and even if they have 1080p, they're not using 1080p all the time yet. Most of the people I know still rent DVDs, me included because I have a PS3 but don't care much for blu-ray.

4K won't be a common thing for at least a decade, if that.

>>259062094

Holy fuck this is great, it's like you're a living parody. There aren't even any physical rental places left in like 200 miles of me anymore, they've all gone out of business because they're entirely obsolete. Everyone gets video over the internet or via Amazon/Netflix in the total boonies. Like 92%+ of American TVs are HDTVs, there is barely anyone left without one since they aren't even made anymore and non-digital broadcasts were ended by law years ago.

>>259066584
>HAHAHAHA YOURE DIFFERENT WHAT A FAG

You're just looking like an ass at this point.

Redbox is huge here, because most movies aren't even on Netflix now, it's all indie flicks and movies that came out 5+ years ago. Sure, amazon prime is good but some people don't want to pay 100 bucks a year to watch movies here. Redbox is a dollar a day, rent your movie, pay $1 and return it

I've been using my PC since I got my computer. Want to get a monitor bad but even if I do I don't have a desk to place it on.

>>259066948
It's pretty good having a dedicated monitor.

>>259066584
>92% of american TVs are HDTVs

Nobody ever said they weren't, but that doesn't mean 92% of americans use HDTVs. Sure, most of them do but not all. And like I said before, a lot of them are still using 720p.

Can't I use a 60 Hz monitor with a 144 Hz one while running Strobelight? Or does every monitor have to be 144 Hz or it fucks with refresh rate? I have been having hard time trying to get a VG248 and VE228 to play nice with each other.

>>259067170
>Sure, most of them do but not all

So, uh, now your definition for "industry standard" is "100% use"? Yeah ok pal.

I'm not even the anon that was arguing about standards.

Way to ignore the last part of my post, too. Are we arguing about 1080p being a standard or 4k? Because you keep jumping back and forth.

I'd consider it a standard when ~55% of people use a certain type of media, which still isn't true for 1080p.

I'm waiting for the 27" 144hz 1080p benq monitor with gsync to come out, should be before the end of the year I think. I'm also ordering a new PC when the new nvidia cards come out, so I'm letting everything come together before I get ahead of myself. Hopefully the 780ti equivalent/successor releases earlier in the lifespan of the new cards.

>>259070172
It's a fucking word that means the monitor is good.

>>259070172
it's a better vsync.

With vsync you get really bad input lag because it tells the GPU to wait for the monitor to refresh.

With Gsync it just syncs up the monitor's refresh rate with what FPS your GPU is outputting, eliminating tearing without input lag

Because my options were to go cheap for 120hz 24" FHD monitor that lacks even a displayport connection and much more, or to buy a korean 1440p 27" IPS monitor FOR EVEN LESS thats reliably capable of at the very least 96hz.

I'll take a tiny bit of ghosting with the higher res, bigger screen, better colors and cheaper price.

A 144hz gayming monitor is great at gaming - and blows at everything else.
An IPS monitor, especially a better one is good at everything, including gaming - not great, but still good.

So to get an expensive ass TN monitor for my main one sounds extremely unwise considering the amount of time I spend using the monitor NOT for gaming. (and I dont even watch movies on a monitor, I have a TV for that)

>>259071456
My colors are fine on my 144hz monitor, the difference I see between my laptop's IPS panel and my 24" TN is negligible. I really don't see the big deal with muh IPS. Now higher resolution I would like, but 1080p is fine for me right now.

>>259072178
It's for 3D. Your refresh rate splits in 2 when using 3D. 120hz 3D = 60hz per eye; 144hz = 72hz per eye.

>>259071943

What monitor/laptop?
The difference is blatantly obvious even between the best of tn and an avarage ips.

Not to mention viewing angles.
Some people like it if the colors dont shift with their head movement.

That sounds good.

Playing with a refresh rate that syncs up perfectly with your monitor would mean games like Rez and Katamari Darmacy could become really popular really fast.

Most of the problem with werid and zany games is that the resolution and refresh rate they're displayed at actually clash with what you're supposed to be feeling. Namely, Killer 7 and Katamari Darmacy.

But with indie games on the rise, maybe with efficient programming the devs could make it so you can get exactly the intended experience you were meant to.
