Just tossing around the idea to jump into 4K now that they are shipping with HDMI 2.0.

Is there an easy method to assess whether a panel can offer true 120Hz @ 1080p? (vs the marketing hype)

I'm just eyeing the LG 55UB8500 right now....

They disappeared after a reboot of the TV. I tried to reproduce the effect afterwards without luck though. In the end I decided that given the state of the package in which it arrived and the aforementioned artifacts I decided to just send it back today.

4k was pretty cool, but 120Hz was not as ...

Initially it was in fact frameskipping as I did not upgrade the firmware. However even after the upgrade UFO is still not reporting properly for me.

I shut off multimonitors in the nvidia control panel and have only the 4K active. Aero is in use.

I'll do up a video tonight to demonstrate.

But in ...

Got mine today but I left the firmware as is. I created a custom resolution in then vid is control panel for 1080p at 120Hz but none of the UFO tests acknowledged 120 -they all still said 60. The downloaded multitool though showed 120FPS via Afterburner though.

Games with Vsync on also showed ...

K Thanks!

Is it specific to monitors or will something like a 3D capable Plasma TV be able to do the same?

What is it that lightboost does that some monitors cannot handle? I wanted to try it out on my a Dell U3011 but it's not listed as LightBoost compatible.....

The photo test says 90/90 and valid however if I let it run for a minute or so a tear will appear on the picture and move from top to bottom. What would this be indicative of?

I assume there is no impact to having a second monitor running while performing this test?

- Slow LCD response increases ghosting/blur during motion, that obscures benefits of higher refresh rate
- Frame rates far lower than refresh rate will not show noticeable improvement.
- Lack of 1000hz gaming mouse will add mouse micro stutter that obscures benefits of higher refresh rate ...

I used both the frameskipping and framerate tests along with the RefreshRateMultitool.

I was getting 90FPS as observed by MSIAfterburning monitoring tool
