    How do LCDs handle high input lag?

    Perhaps temporal dithering for the purpose of increasing color depth, is not the only form of temporal filtering and perhaps another form of it is used to reduce response time and introduces lag due to frame buffering? The cited reference is just ONE method of improving response time that...

    How do LCDs handle high input lag?

    It isn't necessary to process the frames at all. Simply take what's given and stuff it into correct pixel position. That's what the very lowest sub-frame rate input lag monitors do. So, why do so many monitors go to the extra trouble to buffer and process up to 4 frames? I suspect that...

    Need pixel help please!!!

    Try the monitor on a different computer. If you did a screen cap and the bad pixels move with the picture, then I think that rules out the monitor. Perhaps you have something wrong with your video card? Maybe you've pushed the clock too high on the video card? O.O.

    DVI splitter

    You might be surprised how little gain in picture quality you get between DVI and VGA. Personally, I would connect the PS3 via VGA and put the PC on DVI input, as the PC is where you might see a very slight improvement over VGA. The PS3 like all game consoles, is expected to be connected via...

    faint horizontal bar

    another cable won't help, but a ground loop isolator will. I don't know where to get one, but perhaps a search will turn one up? There are multiple flavors and you need a cable tv version for RG-6 with F connectors. If you're really lucky, your cable TV company will even have heard of one...

    New to LCD, a couple questions

    Well, no. A CRT phosphor lights up for much longer than a few nanoseconds, due to a phenomena known as persistence, not to be confused with "persistence of vision". Phosphor persistence is measured in the multiple millisecond range and is generally, depending on your exact measurement...

    Survey of 32" 1080p monitors

    To be exact, displaying 16:9 source material letterboxed on a 30" 16:10 (actual 29.772") display, results in an image of 28.967" diagonal Vs. the same source on a 32" 16:9 display that gives an actual 31.65" diagonal, for a 9.2% difference. That's significant, but perhaps not overwhelmingly so...

    24" vs 30" - Desktop display/font readability?

    There is no magic upscaling possible that will make it look decent. 1920x1200 up to 2560x1600, is a 3 to 4 upscale and there just isn't any way to do that and make it look good. 1920x1200 up to 3840x2400 (doubling) would look ok at reasonable distance, but it would be a collossal waste of...

    Best output to Sony Bravia HDTV, hdmi in safe?

    It won't damage the TV to connect a PC via HDMI input. That said, it may not work as expected. It's possible that the TV does not accept standard PC colorspace RGB, via HDMI input. Most non-PC devices (Blu-ray player, STB, etc) do not use RGB colorspace, but rather YPbPr colorspace. Most TVs...

    good HDMI cable

    You only need dual-link DVI if the resolution that you're running is greater than 1920x1200. HDMI went a different way for higher resolution, by re-specing in the form of HDMI 1.3, which can handle clock rates up to 340MHz vs 165MHz for HDMI 1.2 and single link DVI. DVI solved the bandwidth...

    32" LCD TV as a monitor

    right-click on the desktop, choose properties, click the settings tab, click the advanced button, click the general tab and change the DPI settings to 120 or even higher. This will scale fonts to be much larger without changing anything else. O.O.

    1080i component cabling quality?

    Despite the inexpensive price of Monoprice cables, they're not of low quality. At the price, there is little to lose. Even in the rare event that they don't work well enough for you, you can still go for the Blue Jean cables. O.O.

    1080i component cabling quality?

    I assume that you're referring to the 1505F or 1694A cables which have way more bandwidth capability at 25 feet, than is needed for 1080i. From the charts on the Blue Jeans website, they show just 2.5db loss at 71MHz for a 100 ft 1505F cable and only 1.6db loss at 71MHz for a 100ft 1694A cable...

    Monitor Size vs Font Size

    You can also just jack up the "dpi" setting for the fonts in the display properties and get larger fonts. It horks up some idiot programs that assume that the entire world is 96 "dpi", but in general, it makes things much more readable even with a tiny dot pitch. O.O.

    1080i component cabling quality?

    1080i needs a piddly 37MHz analog bandwidth and RG-59 is already way overkill for that. Wasting money on RG-6 is.......words fail me. O.O
