Turning the display off and back on

[plasticbeach]

Hi all, I've been lurking here for years, desperately searching for answers without anything of my own to add. I have had varieties of the problem since at least 2017, but for me it affects every display I use.

One conclusion I've reached lately is that simply turning the monitor/TV off and back on gives the best feel. I've noticed it with multiple TVs, monitors and even an old iMac.

Prior to doing this maneuver, I get the usual suspects: poor mouse response, worse image clarity, lipsync errors.

Doing a full restart of the display will always reintroduce the lag, as will waking it up from sleep (for example, my Sony TV: if I turn it off and immediately back on, it feels great. However it goes into a "deep" sleep after roughly 20 minutes, and turning it on from this state reintroduces the lag).

I don't have the technical expertise that many of you have, so I cannot even begin to guess why this is. I am open to the idea that it is entirely psychological. But I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Hi, sorry for the late reply.

It has happened on every monitor and TV I've used, even an old iMac. No point listing them all.

They all seem to follow the same 'rule' if that makes sense, wherein there is a noticeably different 'feel' depending on the last state: post-shutdown, post-sleep, post-restart, post-display sleep, etc.

I know it sounds nuts...
