Re: Odd 54 Hz display on Chinese tablet - What does it mean?

Might have been a battery-lengthening tweak for an underpowered processor that is a power hog. 54Hz uses less power than 60Hz, while looking almost as smooth. Does motion look smooth at 54Hz? Check www.testufo.com/frameskipping I want to verify that this is a perfect 54Hz, not a perfect "54Hz-simul...

Odd 54 Hz display on Chinese tablet - What does it mean?

I just bought a cheap Chinese tablet for reading books and whatnot. Surprisingly the reported refresh rate turns out to be 54 Hz, which I have never seen before. What is the meaning of this? My guess is the display is some type of factory reject, but I really have no idea. Maybe someone has an expla...

Re: Vertical line defect fixed itself?

Yes, be careful moving around the monitor. The "electronic equivalent of a loose wire" is usually embedded inside the glass or panel so it is not user-fixable, and probably not professionally repairable either. If it happens again, and your warranty is expired, and you have nothing to lose by openi...

Re: Vertical line defect fixed itself?

Temperature changes and panel settling can make a big difference in this kind of borderline defect. That said, a tap on the monitor could also worsen things for this "electronic circuit equivalent of a loose wire" -- so be careful when moving around the monitor. Alright, thanks! I'll be careful. :m...

Re: Vertical line defect fixed itself?

This would probably be a borderline panel defect. One pixel column addressor glitched -- possibly address-line corruption or something similar that caused one vertical pixel row to go all black (zeros) for a single refresh cycle. Noise in address lines or data lines could have caused that to happen...

Vertical line defect fixed itself?

A few months ago I bought an off-brand 4K monitor. It was particularly cheap because it had a visible vertical line defect and it was seemingly a permanent defect. So I thought: "for what I paid for it I can live with it, it's no big deal." But to my surprise, recently this vertical line started to ...

Re: Why are refresh rates "off" by a bit?

With the new GPU, I was trying to downclock the refresh rate of the monitor below 60 Hz - I set it to 59.95 Hz in CRU but the real refresh rate was 59.99 Hz, so it doesn't seem like I can go below that. I tried 60.003 Hz next to get it as close as possible to real 60 and that made the GPU clocks ent...

I can confirm that it works. All I had to do was plug it in and G-SYNC got detected & enabled automatically. :)
