Finally proper motion tests in mainstream! RTINGS

Post by RonsonPL » 17 Apr 2024, 15:39

It took so many years, but finally the day has come.

Finally proper testing, moving camera method and even tests designed to catch the flaws like red ghosting on some types of LCD tech

They went from being completely ignorant years ago, where their motion quality scores and opinions were completely useless or downright wrong and misleading, through the much improved recent time, where they started to add backlight strobing info and photos. And now to this. What a nice development :)

I think this is very good news for the gaming industry. This page is the "go to" for many, many gamers looking to buy a new monitor. This will greatly increase the mainstream's exposure to motion related knowledge and test results.



It wouldn't happen if not for Mark, so again: thanks Chief

So did they roll this thing out yet?
Seems like they only rolled it for monitors and they still don’t seem to review the BFI in detail, just give you info if you can do adjust strobe width and whatnot.

The thing is, i've ALWAYS saying that their test lack so much things like Refresh Compliance date or Cumultative Deviation stuff but when i've mail them / contact them on their website they didn't care aby far just by saying "we took what you saying and maybe one day these date will come on our tests for more informations"
Previously, before they announced that new methodology if you say that their test lack of things and they are "average", you would look like a clown or something at the eyes of people's but today we can say it officially : their old methodology and motion test was BAD and they were not a reference at 100%.

Finally we get a proper test methodology, hope to see some of monitors they tested and saying "this one have perfect overshood handling etc" while in reality it's horrible (VG259QM for example) they also said that this one is pratically perfect in terms of colors, like...tf.
Also for the XL2566K when they said it was perfect while in reality/in on their new test you can clearly see that's is not true.
