Re: 144hz monitor @ 60hz? Help!
Posted: 12 Dec 2016, 08:00
Note that 120Hz is better when it comes to your desktop. It allows you to watch 24FPS, 30FPS and 60FPS videos. 144Hz only works well for 24FPS video.

Could you please explain this? My monitor is set to 144hz and I never had any issues watching any video.RealNC wrote:Note that 120Hz is better when it comes to your desktop. It allows you to watch 24FPS, 30FPS and 60FPS videos. 144Hz only works well for 24FPS video.
What lexlazootin said. If you watch non-24FPS video, you get microstutter, also known as "judder", unless you're using a video player that does frame rate interpolation or applies some kind of "pull-down" technique. But then, you get motion artifacts since no interpolation technique is perfect, or weird blur on some frames since pull-down combines frames with each other, and can look weird, and still stutters. Pull-down just tries to make the stutter less noticeable.robicruz wrote: Could you please explain this? My monitor is set to 144hz and I never had any issues watching any video.
The next refresh rate that handles video just as well is 240Hz. Anything between 120 and 240 doesn't.robicruz wrote:Wow! that's a lot of new info there, at least new to me
How about overclocking the monitor? I know most monitors can be OC'd and probably mine too. I have to yet check how much. Would 180hz be OK? Or any other number would be more optimal or just shouldn't bother and stay with 120hz?
Player dependant.SAMURAIWARRIOR13 wrote:1) If setting a non g-sync 144hz monitor to 120hz in the windows display settings, will there be a judder or pull down affect?
It doesn't work quite that way.SAMURAIWARRIOR13 wrote:2) Will the frames match perfectly if I game gaming with a cap of say 119fps with 1 pre-rendered frame and set the monitor to 120hz in the windows settings?
If your goal is perfect motion fluidity (as a higher priority than input lag) for your particular situation, then yes.SAMURAIWARRIOR13 wrote:3) Should I enable v-sync if I am going to go though that?
Yes, essentially that's what the HOWTO does. But for VSYNC ON, you want to cap microscopically. e.g. 119.98fps at 120.00 Hz -- or 120.03fps at 120.05Hz. See HOWTO: Low-Lag VSYNC ONSAMURAIWARRIOR13 wrote:4) Will I get low lag v-sync if I do what i said in question 2?
