Hello! First time poster here and I guess this a question for the software developer of desktopbfi or another software black frame insertion software….
I have been trying out the DesktopBFI software, which has worked great for 60hz on my LG b7a
I was wondering if it’s possible to change the interval to get an effective 48hz or 72hz from the 120hz signal with the software?
I was able to do this with my Plasma as it interprets 24fps content at 48hz and it pulses the images, but I would love to do something similar with my OLED even though it doesn’t have hardware BFI.
Basically I really like watching 24fps content at 48hz or 72hz with BFI because it reminds me more of what I see at the cinema.
If anyone can help me with this, I’d really appreciate it and I’m hoping some other people will find it useful too. Thanks!

Re: LG B7 and Desktop BFI
Hey,
Have you tried Special K's new black frame insertion feature? That's a new one that just came out. It only functions during games rather than the WIndows desktop.
As for 72Hz, you need to create a custom 144Hz mode. Does your LG support 144Hz?
As for 48Hz, you need to create a custom 96Hz mode. Does your LG support 96Hz?
(probably not)

Re: LG B7 and Desktop BFI
Hello and thank you for your response! Also I apologize as I definitely posted this in the wrong category...
I have used special K before, but not for this application. Although I didn't mention this in my initial post, I would like to use it when watching movies.
I'm pretty sure by LG B7A only does 120hz although I would be happy to be wrong.
Is there a way to have something like DesktopBFI black out something other than half the frames on a 120hz only monitor (like for 48fps more black frames or for 72hz less black frames) ?

Re: LG B7 and Desktop BFI
120 is not divisible by 48 or 72.
However, 120 is divisible by 5 so you could do 1:4, 2:3, 3:2 or 4:1 black frame insertion with 24fps cinema material but it would flicker very badly, like 48Hz. You could use 144Hz to double-strobe 48Hz in a cadence of 1:2:1:2 or 2:1:2:1 ON:OFF:ON:OFF
Unfortunately, neither DesktopBFI nor SpecialK supports this.
