Blur Busters Forums

So, I purchased an LG32GP850-B 32" 1440p 165hz monitor, which OCs to 180hz, for my arcade cabinet.

I was originally planning to utilize it with RetroArch's BFI at 180hz.. but, actually, the monitor really runs at 179.96hz when OC'd, which introduces a slight flicker now and then in RetroArch which is undefeatable.

I can do the BFI at 120hz when I set the monitor to 120hz and it's solid, no flicker, but then I get after images on my monitor when I'm done playing, which has me concerned for the longevity of the monitor.

I was hoping to find a 240hz 32" monitor, but I can only find the Samsung Odyssey G7 which is 32" and curved, which probably won't look good in an arcade cabinet. (Haven't tried, just guessing here.)

Part of me wants to try the Gigabyte M32Q which is 1440p and 165z as well, but would just run it at 120hz. I'd imagine I'd run into the same after image problem, though, because I'm not running the refresh rate at an odd divisor (like 3 or 5, which would be 180hz or 300hz) and I'd be in the same predicament...

So, now I'm sad, because all I can do now is just use the monitor's built in strobe which works at 120hz, but does the whole double image thing...

I can't win!

I think that if I could find a 32" 240hz monitor that isn't curved (or just try the Samsung G7 and see how it looks), or if I could find a 32" that strobes at 60hz, I'd be in business...

Any ideas if a monitor would be coming soon or any alternative 32" monitors I could look at which would strobe at 60fps?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Actually, ignore this!

My LG 32" 180hz monitor actually does BFI solid now once I turn off all RetroArch shaders and audio sync to "OFF".

If I turn on any sort of shader, no matter how basic, it does the random flickering from time to time.

Video shaders completely off, no problem at all.
