    Dolby Executive Indicates Brightness Is Next TV Tech Battleground

    Actually brightness (nits) can be extremely important if you care about reducing motion blur. If you want to get anywhere close to CRT-grade motion clarity you have to strobe (aka flash, aka turn the image on and off rapidly) the display. Of course, if you do that you dramatically reduce the...

    Trying to recall: a recent TN monitor with a feature that fixes vertical gamma shift

    Can anyone remember which monitor this was? I think it was reviewed on tftcentral or pcmonitors.info. I remember that it did help alleviate gamma shift, but added input lag due to the extra processing involved.

    My new IPS has worse colors than my TN from 2009.

    Just got a Dell IPS. It's quite a solid monitor. Came almost perfectly calibrated according to Lagom (using custom mode), but colors are noticeably unnatural compared to my 2009 ASUS VH236H (TN). Even when I threw off the calibration of the ASUS, flesh tones still looked more natural than the...

    U2414H vs. P2414H

    I just got the 22-inch version of the P2414H. The AG coating looks identical to my TN monitor (ASUS VH236H, made in 2009). It's pretty much the exact middle ground between older, super-grainy Dell IPSs, and semi-glossy monitors like the VS24AH-P, VG23AH. I was recently surprised to find out...

    Best 24" 16:10 IPS/PLS Monitors for Gaming?

    Yeah I saw it in a store for the first time the other day and was impressed. I just wish they made a version for gamers (higher hz, etc). IQ-wise it makes all those 120hz 1080p monitors look like shit.

    Any upcoming monitors that have built-in strobe modes but aren't GSYNC?

    PCmonitors.info is now saying the 24" versions (XL2411Z and XL2420Z) will be available in the U.S. this spring, March at the earliest. The 2411z is described as having "ultra low 0.001-frame input lag,” which sounds like the low-lag "instant mode" on the older 2411t. Looks promising.

    Any upcoming monitors that have built-in strobe modes but aren't GSYNC?

    Basically I just want a otherwise-normal 1080p monitor with a proper 2D Lightboost implementation... by proper meaning one that doesn't require hacking/trickery, is much brighter, and supports strobing at more refresh rates (like 60hz and 85hz). I know Gsync monitors will feature proper strobed...

    From CRT to TFT - your recomendations

    Yeah I was referring to the G-Sync monitors mainly. G-Sync itself doesn't do anything to reduce motion blur. It's just that G-Sync monitors (or at least the G-sync monitors we know are coming) will also support blur-free modes. It's an Nvidia thing though so you'll need an Nvidia card (600...

    From CRT to TFT - your recomendations

    Been searching for 3 years myself. Just can't stand to play games with motion blur. Fortunately, early next year we *should* finally see the first blur-free LCDs that are good enough to satisfy any gamer, and are in your price range. NCX knows his stuff though. If blur-free gaming isn't critical...

    Anyone else think 16:9 aspect ratio is far from ideal?

    I'd really like to see a 21:9 monitor that was just a little bigger vertically, say equal to a 24". I've begun to realize how much cooler it would be have that much more width to your perspective in games. It would feel significantly more immersive.

    Sony HDTV -- "Motionflow Impulse Mode" (Sony strobe backlight; eliminate motion blur)

    Tried this out on a Sony 4KTV at the store. Worked as you say. Clearer, but not 2D-Lightboost clear. I'm tempted to say it's the first LCD I've ever seen that I could play a console game on and be happy, but the brightness really takes a hit in impulse mode. Even in a dark room I don't know if...

    Better LightBoost Color -- Upgrade to Geforce Driver 320.18

    People using the VG278H driver on the VG248QE?

    Better LightBoost Color -- Upgrade to Geforce Driver 320.18

    This isn't aimed at improving 2D Lightboost color quality though, right?

    ASUS/BENQ LightBoost owners!! Zero motion blur setting!

    This is incredibly exciting for someone like me who hasn't gamed in years due to LCD blur, but we need lower refresh rates for non-Titan-owners and consoles. Any hope of seeing 60-85hz strobed?

    Asus VG248QE 144hz 3D Vision 2: The Official Thread

    Anyone else notice a pinkish color shift? A white screen will have a pinkish hue that increases in intensity from bottom to top, similar to gamma shift. My other ASUS TN doesn't have this discoloration. It was visible with and without Lightboost enabled and with every color profile I tried.
