There are OLEDs with 60fps BFI, e.g. the LG OLED TVs (42", 48"). And other desktop OLEDs are working on BFI (albiet slowly).liquidshadowfox wrote: ↑06 May 2023, 09:22What about if you play the following games?
Elden ring : locked at 60 fps
League of legends: highest available
Valorant: highest available
Overwatch: highest available
Fortnite: between 120 - 240
Lost Ark: 240 but with many dips (the dips are due to limitations of the engine, wasn't made to run at anything more than 60 fps consistently)
Hunt Showdown: 144 fps (some minor dips, can be mitigated playing at 120 fps)
Star citizen: unknown (fps fluctuates a LOT in this game between 60 fps - 144 depending on scene)
Give me your recommendation Mark, I personally hate seeing blur in most of my games and personally I think backlight strobing is the only way to remove it from 60 fps content.
Due to the wide range of user preferences; It's hard to gamble on giving explicit recommendations, it's more risky than answering your spouse "Do I look fat?" question, and risks going into politics (like iOS vs Android, PC vs Mac, Democrats vs Republicians). So I'll plead the fifth (even though I'm a Canadian).
- I've seen people love 60fps OLED BFI more than 60fps LCD strobe.
- I've seen people love 60fps LCD strobe more than 60fps OLED BFI.
60fps OLED BFI looks superior (less eyestrain) to 60fps LCD strobe, due to the rolling-scan nature of OLEDs.
On the other hand, you don't get 240Hz strobing with OLEDs -- even the 240Hz OLEDs adding BFI will limit it to 120hz or less.
So pick-poison for each lineitem, and some items may be a wash (user preference)
Given your wide range of frame rates, and need for competitive esports games, the safer bet is a battle-tested LCD that's acceptable by esports players. You'll probably have more options with ViewSonic XG2431 or another monitor. The safer bet may be more boring/problematic for 60fps, but you at least stick to tried-and-true stuff for above-60fps.
What I try to do is convince monitor manufacturers to give users a choice -- but panel limitations does create some interesting compromises where it becomes superior (for some refresh rates) and worse (for other refresh rates).
