Re: Confused - Modern HDTV and blur reduction

You need to test the TV for its lag. Most TVs have too much lag. Some are at "acceptable" levels of lag. And very few are at low levels of lag. But AFAIK, nobody tests them for that. So... buy at your own risk. Also, TVs don't accept a 120Hz signal unless you happen to have an overclockable TV: http...

On the other hand, good luck in being able to visually detect a dead pixel without a strong magnifying glass :mrgreen:

Re: DVI-D vs DVI-I Input lag on MSI GTX 970?

Did you verify in your monitor's OSD that:

a) the connection is digital
b) it actually runs at high refresh rates and is not stuck at 60Hz

Re: DVI-D vs DVI-I Input lag on MSI GTX 970?

Unlikely.

You need a second person to do a test. He/she plugs the monitor in, doesn't tell you which port it's in, and you try to tell whether there's input lag or not.

You do that like 10 times or so. The more the better.

Re: Is there any media player that can do black frame insert

It is weird though that 120Hz produces 24Hz flicker. I would have assumed that using: [blank, clip, clip, clip, clip] would result in 96Hz flicker. But apparently that's not the case? But most probably I don't understand the whole vapoursynth/avisynth thing yet. It's the first time I ever touched t...

Re: Is there any media player that can do black frame insert

Got it to work. And in the end... it's not worth the effort. For 24FPS video, the flicker in 120Hz is extreme. However, 144Hz works perfectly fine with no flicker if you do this: (This is for MPV, which passes "video_in".) import vapoursynth as vs core = vs.get_core() clip = core.std.AssumeFPS(video...

Re: Is there any media player that can do black frame insert

Alright, will have to experiment. I'm on Linux (at least for video watching), and it seems I can only get Vapoursynth. Will need to see how to do this in Python.

Re: Animations Unsmooth / Ghosting issues

You don't need a better GPU in order to drive high refresh rate monitors. Refresh rate does not place any demands on your system. A $90 GPU does the same job at it as a $1000 GPU. A better GPU will give you more FPS though. But for just using 144Hz, any GPU with displayport or DL-DVI will do. If you...

Is there any media player that can do black frame insertion?

The usual suspects (meaning MPC-HC, MPV and VLC) do not offer any BFI mode. Is there such a thing? I would love to experiment with 60FPS video on 120Hz and BFI.

Re: Animations Unsmooth / Ghosting issues

Are you running the windows desktop at 120Hz? Try that, in the hope that Acer have tweaked their overdrive setting for that particular refresh rate. (Your monitor DOES use overdrive, it's just that Acer doesn't allow for tweaking it in their OSD.) In general, 120Hz is the recommended refresh rate ev...
