Crt Tv - 60 fps vs 30 fps
Posted: 13 Nov 2018, 21:34
Hello everyone im new in this website and i have some questions, long story short i became a collector and i started buying consoles, after going to a retrogaming convention here in latinamerica i noticed that games looked smoother on crt tvs, i found it odd and after trying out emulators and consoles on my hdtv i decide to get a crt to compare, and i was shocked at how smooth it looked with 60 fps games, it was crazy, now i have a small understanding of what is happening, but my issue comes now with 30fps games, i have noticed on a 30fps game
that when the screen scrolls left to right on a crt tv it has this notorious stutter that happens, like the background
shimmers back and forth when i play mario 64 or crash bandicoot 1.
This makes curious about a couple of things:
1. Since 60hz allows 60 fps games to look good when in motion (No blurr) does this mean that 30fps is never goin to look good or should i say smooth ?
I mean it looked less noticeable on my Lcd due to the sample and hold method of displaying frames but on my Crt tv it had that weird issue and i
guess it has alway been like this except that we didn't notice when we were kids.
2. I had to buy a crt tv to get a smooth quality of motion @60fps, is lcd, oled or whatever modern displays ever goin to give us that quality of motion ??
3. If 60fps needs 60hz to display smoothly, what happens with 30fps ?? Does 30hz even exist ?? Doesn't that depend on flicker and stuff, am i goin to get sick for looking
at a 30 hz screen for too long Lol, i mean can crt tvs get that low ??
4. Final question relates to the second one, in theory, an lcd with crt quality smoothnes of movement or whatever you call it, will be able to make 60fps AND 30fps games look
smooth ??
I know i have oversimplified some thing but i hope i can get at least a couple of answers from you guys, i swear after researching all that stuff last year and getting no answer, this website was a godsend, i mean its almost like no one gets why would i buy an old crt tv at all Lol i guess thats why they are so cheap still.
Btw my tests were done with a snes, a genesis, a ps2 and a wii with hombrew launcher, so i tested retro emulators and real hardware.
Thanks in advance.
