Re: VG248QE, how to tune

I may be wrong, but installing a profile will only have an effect when running color aware applications (e.g. adobe lightroom). The color profile affects all desktop applications and games run in windowed or borderless windowed/fake fullscreen mode. Games running in fullscreen mode almost always ov...

Re: Moving from CRT to Eizo FG2421 [EIZO's strobed monitor]

Interesting, but you are comparing two different senses now. Our audible sense has a short reaction time / input lag then our visual one (as stated in the paper I linked in my earlier post). It would be nice to have such values for visual stimuli and reaction times. I think you're missing my point....

Re: Moving from CRT to Eizo FG2421 [EIZO's strobed monitor]

The first one was $60, but as I was about to leave to pick it up, he called me and said he had just dropped it, and reduced it to $30. The second I paid $300 + $40 for the guy to drive it over from oshawa. I believe I found both of these on kijiji. the third I picked up for $40 - non functional, but...

Re: Moving from CRT to Eizo FG2421 [EIZO's strobed monitor]

Yes, I also think that there people that can perceive input lag, even in the lower regions. But I find it very hard to believe that there a people who claim that they can perceive latency differences in the single digit MS area. The human perception of "time" is rather tricky, since our cerebral co...

Re: Moving from CRT to Eizo FG2421 [EIZO's strobed monitor]

It's not too metaphorically different from steering wheel lag -- and swerving on a road, back-and-fourth, back-and-fourth -- witness the accidents that occur when you swerve. For example while driving, you suddenly see obstacle, you successfully swerve, but then you go into a deadly-amplifying back...

Re: Moving from CRT to Eizo FG2421 [EIZO's strobed monitor]

At 18ms, the added lag against a zero buffered display such as VG248QE in non-LightBoost mode (~3ms) is relatively large. I am of the camp, that pro competitive gamers can notice latency differences. There's a "muscle memory" effect (aka preconditioned behavior) involved here. Gamers get used to a ...

Re: We need sub-millisecond persistence (<1ms) strobe backli

I think a very rough approximation is the halflife curve. Say, you've got a 0.2ms halflife for phosphor decay -- it takes 0.2ms to dim to half brightness, another 0.2ms to dim to quarter brightness, and then so on. However, the decay halflife seems to lengthen after some time has passed, so you mig...

Re: We need sub-millisecond persistence (<1ms) strobe backli

My tests confirm that motion clarity is bottlenecked by light output because the shorter you flash, the darker the picture becomes. CRT phosphor shine insanely bright (as much as ~5000cd/m2) for the short duration of illumination, often for less than 1ms. LED backlights can't shine that brightly, s...
