I've managed to move the industry needle a little bit. People have long been whining, "Please Add 60 Hz Single-Strobe". It flickers badly like a CRT but some of you still love the nostagilia CRT-clarity zero-blur at 60 Hz refresh rate for video, for sports, for emulators and/or for gaming consoles limited to 60 Hz. And we know framerate=Hz is a requirement from the CRT Nirvana Guide for Disappointed CRT-to-LCD Upgraders. And that's tough when framerate is 60 frames per second.
This is a sideways movement, a feature-addition to accomodate additional specialized use cases:
- 60fps videos
- Emulators
- Gaming Consoles
- Improve accuracy of CRT tube simulators (CRT filters)
These current & upcoming displays support 60Hz single-strobe for users who want CRT motion clarity for:
- Oculus Quest 2 + 60 Hz Mode + Virtual Desktop app
This is the best CRT motion clarity LCD I have ever seen, zero strobe crosstalk, and OLED quality colors. Switch its 72 Hz refresh rate to 60 Hz via instructions, and now you're ready for emulator action, including MAME HLSL running on a PC, wirelessly transmitting to a virtual floating "CRT" hovering in front of you. Can wirelessly stream a Virtual Desktop to your headset cordlessly, the Oculus Link cable is optional if you are near your WiFi 5/6 router (11ac or better). 0.3ms MPRT while staying plenty bright, it is shorter-persistence than many medium-persistence CRT tubes.
Amazon: Oculus Quest 2
Cons: Won't work with gaming consoles, has a very slight latency (~20ms)
. - Upcoming Blur Busters Approved Version 2.0 Monitors in 2021+
ViewSonic XG2431 supports single strobe, and a few other Blur Busters Approved Certification Version 2.0 monitors supports 60 Hz single-strobe. It is a mandatory criteria of Blur Busters Approved 2.0 in year 2021 onwards.
. - BenQ XL2411 Series
The long-time old 60 Hz single strobe standby, many BenQ XL2411 series (XL2411, XL2411T, XL2411P, XL2411) support 60 Hz single strobe, as does certain other models (XL2420, XL2720). (Further testing is needed on XL2411K to determine its capabilities).
Amazon: BenQ XL2411P
Cons: Old TN panel technology
. - Upcoming Eve IPS monitors (4K 144Hz and 1440p 240Hz)
In an unofficial capacity I am now helping Eve with their strobing. In full equality, I help any manufacturer that asks for help about strobing. Big and small. Well financed or strapped startups. Rising tide lifts all boats, I say! Capable of 60 Hz single strobing, both with PCs/consoles.
Amazon: Not available until 2021
Cons: KSF phosphor, but tolerable
. - Upcoming big-company monitor (unannounced)
It's a 1440p 165Hz Fast IPS panel, capable of 60 Hz single strobing too, both with PCs/consoles. I will disclose the brand once it hits the market.
Cons: KSF phosphor, but tolerable
. - LG CX-Series 4K 120Hz G-SYNC OLEDs, 48", 55", 65"
The 48" and 55" models make amazing big-screen computer monitors at 1-meter viewing distance. Such bliss when running 60fps console games and/or emulator games. Configure "OLED Motion Pro" maximum setting. 60Hz single-strobe and 120Hz single-strobe options. LOWER your brightness a lot, to prevent 60Hz flicker headaches, CRT tubes were not this big in the old era.
Amazon: LG CX-Series OLED Televisions
Cons: Large screen than most CRTs, and a bit higher latency
