In the defense of the Alienware oled, you can currently use it at 4k 120 with freesync, we will have to wait until gpus with hdmi 2.1 to do it on the LG c9.
The alienware price is still bonkers though...
Ah ok, looks like I will need to grab one to enjoy gsync on the C9. I imagine they are not able to offer 4k 120 from the RTX hdmi as it does not have the bandwidth? Looks like their hdmi on the rtx has some hdmi 2.1 features like vrr that can be enabled.
This is amazing news!! I have been using my LG C9 at 1440p at 120hz and the motion clarity is incredible and almost crt like.
Will this work with a 1080ti or do I have to get a RTX card?
How do you I use gsync? Do I turn off vsync? Is there any settings other then turning gsync on?
The Sony 43x720e has no pwm, is 4k 4:4:4 has no ABL in graphics picture mode and has 18.7ms lag. It is direct lit vs edge lit and has no vertical banding or dse, less then any tv i have ever used. Comparing it the LG oled c7 and the 43ud79, I prefer the Sony due to superior uniformity vs them...
I just got the 43ud79 a couple of days ago and compared it side by side with my Sony 43x720e. Both have 4k AH-IPS screens but the similarities end there.
LG 43ud79 has lowest input lag I have seen with my Leo Bodnar (top is 3.2ms, middle 10.4ms, bottom 18.1ms ).
The LG has much faster pixel...
Uniformity looks the same on both? You should notice much lower lag on the LG, right?
The sony has a bug where you hve to go out of game picture mode then back again to get the 19ms lag.
Did you update the LG firmware so it has 480hz pwm? If not then it is running at 120hz pwm which is...
Those lag numbers I provided were for the top bar, rtings reports on the middle/average number.
Make no mistake, the Oled picture is infinte amount better then any led tv. I currently have the One X on the oled and it looks bonkers on there!
I may just wait until CES next month to see if LG...
I have had a Sony 43 X720e for a couple months now and really enjoy it for pc and console gaming. I actually use it more then my LG oled C7 for gaming mainly due to lower lag as my Leo bodnar shows the first bar on the Sony at 11ms and the LG C7 is at 19.8ms and yes I feel a difference between...
Yea, I just saw they put up 4k native results for lag!! The sony is running 4:4:4 at 4k at 35ms, not bad at all as long as I turn vsync off.
The interesting thing with these new 4k results is running any samsung at 4k with 4:4:4 shows higher lag then the sony, about 38ms is what they are...
I just want to tell you that you explained perfectly the issue with input lag and that it is cumulative. Under 100ms total lag is great, if a display has 50ms of lag, more then likely your going alot over that total 100ms total lag number.
I have tried explaining this on soo many different...
You get the tv in pc mode by selecting the inputs button on the controller and then choosing the PC icon. Then you will want to change the picture to Game.
let us know if you can feel a difference.
Testing lag at 4k is tricky, the only option right now is to use a highspeed camera and compare...
Yea, with vsync off these displays shoul dbe fine for gaming, but with vsync on I find them too high for input lag. Trying ps4 on them wasn't enjoyable because of the lag so its nice to know that our pc can help with remocing some lag with vsync off :)
Interesting, its possible native 4k in pc...
