Suggestions are not perfect or fully thought through, but it might spark some new ideas for you.
I'll update post for more or comment for new.
Ghosting / Pursuit Camera Test
- Add more narrower Pixel Separation options, maybe 100 pixels min. I'm aware there will be blur overlapping with slow panels, but its good for fast ones. That is why it's optional.
⠀ - New graphic preset 'UFO Compact' with decreased row height for average smartphone cameras that can't do true high resolutions. Came across this problem many times.
UFO Classic - 360px high
UFO Compact - 260px high prefer this one
UFO Compact v2 - 290px high
- more detail fit into frame, closeup pursuits, sharper, better focus
- more UFOs in addition of narrower separation
- reduces chances of user capturing only middle row ufo
- possibly reduces image cropping, reviewers might like this (ST moved to top and bottom edges)
Here is same camera setup before and after.
⠀ - For MBR out of fullscreen mode Pattern Positioning should be automatically adjusted to aprox. middle screen for high resolution displays (if possible). User shouldn't take MBR shots outside full screen but I've seen people doing so. At 1080p its around screen center, 1440p top-mid, 4k up too high. This is related to number and size of browser bookmark bars and windows task bar.
1440p centered
⠀ - Had this idea of 'Status Track', which won't work well, but here it is anyways. It is supposed to hook test setting so that user don't have to state each time when publishing shots. Needs to be in 'BFI mode' to reduce sample-and-hold blur, still looks bad at low refresh rates. Would also require hooking model name, overdrive, adaptive-sync or other settings... which is impossible at this point.
Strobe Crosstalk Test
- Add some type of cycle ruler for better vertical screen location coping
- option to toggle OFF/ON
⠀ - Add Sync Track to full screen mode
- Requires much larger ST for whole screen capturing from further distances, something like in 'Moving Photo' test. As resolution increases it gets smaller. Replace top and bottom ufo rows for ST. One problem with this is leaving areas where ST would be uncovered. One way to get around this issue is with panning Vertical Sync Track. For crosstalk screen width don't matter anyways (landscape pivot). Can add multiple of them. Not sure how effective would this be.
- option to toggle OFF/ON
⠀ - New Pattern 'Line 1 Pixel, 5 Screen Divisions' (or more)
This is meant for finer crosstalk pursuits. Great for debunking duty cycles with strobing and vrr strobing. With few tricks even strobe duration can be measured from photos.
- classic PCST could be used here.
- default colors: line RGB 255, background RGB 63, or leave cyan and red default but exchange line color for something with longer curve for all panel types.
Video Game Motion Test (and VRR Simulation, Moving Photo)
- Add new photos of popular fps games like csgo, rss, ow, quake
- Option to toggle static crosshair for stroboscopic effect
Frame Skipping Test
- Add refresh rate in full screen mode. Maybe even hook display parameters
Overall
- Add new test somewhere (maybe in Ghosting Test) with multiple colored thick lines and backgrounds in same frame so camera could capture more of the transitions at once, the more the better. Problem with this is image can get huge. Singling out some of the more demanding ones can shrink it.
cyan, gray - 260px high.
gray transitions only
- optional line thickness
⠀ - Since TestUFO doesn't state actual moving speed it requires:
- addition of approximate (∼) symbol to each speed preset in dropdown list
- statement of real pps speed instead of preset
⠀ - Add quick pause/play button next to Speed selection box that pauses/continues panning. This is to reduce nausea from watching repeating patterns for too long and reduce unnecessary screen retention from PCST. Selecting pause from selection box is slow. I found my self opening another tab as a solution to this.
- add to all tests
⠀ - Add quick properties in full screen mode when mouse hover screen edge. Maybe even add option to pin it. Currently changing any setting requires exiting full screen mode and entering again.
⠀ - Exiting fullscreen mode with esc key doesn't work properly. Esc only partially exits, required another mouse click to fully exit.
I have one if not my favorite idea, but it requires VRR support... I encourage to make VRR finally work with TestUFO.
