Re: A95L BFI is Amazing but What’s Happening?

I did more testing this afternoon, I am now more convinced that there IS a difference to between 60hz and 120hz Motion Pro High.
The problem is I wouldn't be able to swear it is a x2 increase in motion clarity.
I just see a small difference between 60hz High/120hz Medium on one hand and 120hz High at the other, having switched back and forth between all of these.
I see that small difference in the text clarity on various game motion tests.
Maybe I'm an idiot because the MPRT test doesn't seem to work properly when I use it.
When I launch the test in 120hz MP High, at 480pixels/sec it shows the 2ms box with almost no gap, and when I launch it at 60hz MP High, it only shows the 4ms box also with an insignificant gap between the two lines.
But if I switch resolutions without relaunching the text, the results it gives seems incoherent results.
Sorry to derail the conversation about the A95L, my eyes tell me that my LG GX has clearer motion at 120hz High than it does at 60hz High, but I can't honestly say that it is 2ms/480hz equivalent. The difference for the same settings on my G1 are absolutely visible, but we're starting from a lower base. And my PG27VQ monitor at 120hz ULMB is noticeably clearer than the GX at 120hz Motion Pro High. I would say this is a true 1ms MPRT monitor.
Edit: Some online digging revealed that users have tested the GX/CX 120hz Motion Pro High to be ~3 or ~3.2 ms MPRT.
Which would mean that while 120hz Motion Pro High is indeed better than at 60hz, it is in fact the same as Motion Pro High on the G1/C1 (i.e rolling scan on a 38% window). It also explains the brightness difference on the GX between 60hz and 120hz and the fact that the difference in quality between Medium (240hz equivalent) and High (315hz equivalent) is not super obvious.
That's a big revelation for me, as long as you can get 120fps (or have access to frame gen) the brighter G1 is clearly the better compromise for HDR games with three levels of motion clarity/brightness arbitration.
The GX/CX with Motion Pro High remains the best Plasma alternative: Deep blacks, 4ms MPRT motion at 60hz, but the dim brightness is barely enough for SDR content.
