anyhow -
i am really close to buying a XG2431 because of its great BFI functions, but after using CRTs and OLEDs I am just concerned that the contrast is going to be such a big downgrade that I might regret the purchase, plus 24" 16:9 is small.
i read that dough will have the spectrum black out soon and it's only about twice as much as the XG2431 if preordered, and while most of my questions are about BFI i also wonder what people think about the image quality differences between the two.
1) one reason I considered the xg2431 is that it does BFI down to 60hz input which sounds good for old consoles. from the spectrum website it isn't quite exactly stated that the monitor will accept input that is 60hz that is from a console instead of a computer and then BFI that. they write it "works up to 120 fps" but does that mean anything from 48hz up can be divided into the 240hz max of the monitor with bfi? and the same whether its from computer or from consoles/video players?
2) the spectrum monitor says it has updatable firmware. i know the panel tech is different and so the options wouldnt be the same but does that mean it could get something on a firmware level that offers more custom settings like the pc-based blurbusters utility that makes the xg2431 so much better than stock? another reason im reconsidering xg2431 is you can only tweak it best through pc, so consoles miss many blurbuster settings.
3) i have an oled hmd and if it were more comfortable/convenient to wear for several hours at a time i would just use that all the time instead of any monitor.
its refresh is max 90hz so with the spectrum black monitor being 240 (divided for BFI) will i get similar, worse or better image quality, brightness and persistence blur removal?4) anything else you'd consider before deciding between these monitors? is the spectrum black better in every way or just at some things? the goal of the purchase is to have something as close to crt as possible...without risking ebay frustrations for an actual crt.
5) is spectrum black the only OLED in sight with really good BFI now that the LG CX series is done? or are there any other options maybe just as good in the next year? for the price i wish it was closer to 40" instead of 27".
thankyou
