I have no idea who Riot Games are, but you go to their website and there second link is DEI. :p

That's pretty much everything I need to know. I will set it at 60hz.

Just searched google for F1 highlights, the very first video is a 50fps one. Using my macbook right now, it does seem jerky if you pay attention. My OCD has been successfully escalated. https://youtu.be/Q6InUqrk9F4

Because of the old PAL tv standard I assume? Incredible how these old standards still affect us. I imagine in the case of 25/50fps on 60/72/120/144hz monitors the playback software has to do some sort of frame interpolation to make it appear smooth?

Didn't think of that... There are probably a bunch of movie/show clips on youtube with 24fps source - affirming that a 120hz monitor is ideal for everything 24/30/60. I remember years back download UK Top Gear shows in the late 2000s, watching them on XP/7 using I think VLC or similar player...

Thanks for clarifying guys. Looks like a 72hz monitor can be the best of both worlds - set it to 72 when watching 24fps movies, or set it to 60hz for youtube videos, most of which are 30/60fps. For my wifes office use it wont matter at all, since MS office and Adobe Acrobat are not affected by...

Good to know, thank you!

Understood... but now I have even more question. Is flicker a concern at all with LCDs when VRR adjusts refresh rate to match fps? Most static refresh rate LCD monitors run at 60hz, and flicker is not a concern at that rate, but I remember back in the CRT days my eyes would hurt real bad at...

I think I used the wrong term, not frame interpolation but frame pulldown - when it comes to 24fps videos on 60hz screens they use a 3:2 pulldown. I read more on it, apparently the pull down is not preferable at all, when they play movies on traditional film projectors the movies play at true...

It is actually my wife's office computer, she used Chrome exclusively. I tried playing some youtube videos, and I think I they appear jerkier with 72hz refresh vs 60hz refresh, but it may be my mind playing tricks on me. Her computer has a Quadro P620, I will look for the g-sync options. I...

After reading up various threads all over the internet, I think I've decided on the PG42UQ. Matte screen over the LG/Sony TVs is my biggest deciding factor.

On the LG C2 vs Sony A90K, do they have matte or glossy screens? Are they acceptable as general use PC monitors, not just gaming? Working in Autocad and Solidworks?

Just bought a new monitor for my office, LG 40WP95C-W.AUS - an ultrawide display with 5K resolution and 72hz refresh rate. I wonder if I should be running it at 60hz instead, as most youtube videos are now at 30 and 60fps, and it does not divide even into 72 so I'll be getting frame...

As a 45yo genXer, I generally can't stand US born boomers and millennials, and zoomers are a lost cause whatsoever.

That is a good idea, but the military is also going south.
