TRUE 8bit TN vs 8bit IPS - which has better colours? Why?

View angle and all that nonsense aside... If a TN panel has true 8bit colour. Can you really knock it for being 'less colour accurate' than a true 8bit IPS? I ask because - I think this 'viewing angle' nonsense isn't a deal breaker with 2015 screens, it's just a bad rep from early panels and that re...

Re: What cable do I need for 1440p?

Another question about the monitor. The monitor has the option for 'USB upstream' and/or 'USB downstream' as an input option (as shown in the quick setup guide) and the packaging came with 1x Cable that was USB on one end and what looks like mini display port on the other end - to support this featu...

Re: Input Lag G-Sync vs V-Sync vs No-Sync

anandtech is a website for casuals :DDD Yeah I hate it the guy thinks he is an expert and spreads misleading information this was also the case when I was trying to learn about load line calibration back in the day on X58 systems when I was a extreme overclocker. I never liked anandtech but it seem...

Re: 1ms 60Hz monitor vs 1ms 120Hz monitor

The 120hz monitor will generally have lower input lag, and the "1ms" probably isn't input lag, it's more likely GTG pixel response. My "2ms" LCD has an input lag about 6ms slower than a CRT at the same refresh rate. Basically, ignore anything the manufacturer tells you about input lag, and find a r...

1ms 60Hz monitor vs 1ms 120Hz monitor

Is there a difference on input lag? What difference does it have to the overall experience apart from more FPS. What I'm more interested in is there going to be a reaction time or ghosting difference between a 4ms 60Hz vs 4ms 120Hz display. Screw TN I'm waiting for a good VN release. But how would I...

Re: Input Lag G-Sync vs V-Sync vs No-Sync

Well if the article is wrong, not even Anandtech knows the difference between Vsync with no triple buffering and Vsync with triple buffering on. Then how is the average Joe supposed to understand it? What the hell is the difference? What is a "half frame of latency" can't a number be put on it? Is t...

I type faster than my display in desktop mode, why!?

As I write in word or sometimes in the browser... My sentences and words cannot visually keep up with my keystrokes. By the time I have finished writing this my monitor was only up to the word I have highlighted in BOLD letters. I know that it is not a CPU or RAM issue as the computer seems very idl...

Re: Input Lag G-Sync vs V-Sync vs No-Sync

There's a whole section for input lag. Thank you for your response and sorry if I posted in the wrong forum section. V-sync when bottlenecked by the display adds a lot of input lag. Q1) So you are saying if the screen is 60Hz and your GPU is producing 84 FPS or whatever, the input lag kicks in? Or ...
