    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...

    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.

    Best gaming monitor 2013

    Even before the Lightboost zero-blur trick the difference in motion clarity between the fastest IPS and a 120hz TN was huge. Now the difference is astronomical. For gaming, IMO, there is no longer any argument: TN with Lightboost is the only thing any self-respecting gamer should buy. The catch...

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

    Correct me if I'm wrong. You're saying that, even though it's no longer crystal clear due to the double image effect, 60fps @ 120hz with Lightboost looks better than 60fps @ 120hz non-Lightboost (in your opinion at least). Also, sans-Lightboost, does 60fps at 120hz looks no better than 60fps at...

I'm also concerned about how bad it looks when games drop below 120fps in Lightboost mode. A blurry mess? Double images...

    IPS Monitors for Gaming

    Perceptibility of flicker on zero-blur Lightboost and CRTs should be very similar at similar refresh rates. Mark Rejhon has said that flicker has more to do with the strobing frequency (which is 120 times per sec on Lightboost) than with the length of each strobe, so a Lighboost monitor with the...

    IPS Monitors for Gaming

    Be mindful of terminology. What people think of as ghosting isn't the main contributor to motion blur anymore (maybe never was AFAIK). That means lowering pixel response times only goes so far. All conventional sample-and-hold displays (including LCDs) appear blurry when your eyes are tracking a...

    Advice on a 3D monitor?

    I don't think there's anything out there that can do 3D satisfactorily except Lightboost (need an Nvidia card) monitors. Everything I've seen (LCD passive and active, plasma active) suffers from crosstalk and low brightness. I haven't tried Lightboost, so for all I know even that might not be up...

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

    I'm not quite sold yet. Zero-blur needs to be a supported feature that works independent of source. You should be able to hook anything up to one of these and get zero blur (consoles, blu-ray players, etc).

    Monitors make me sad... Gaming on 120hz or IPS panel?

    Gotta throw my vote in with the "120hz minimum for gaming" crowd. I had what is probably the fastest/lowest blur IPS around, the Asus VG23AH, and IMO it was unusable for gaming. When it comes to gaming on an LCD, minimizing blur should be your #1 priority, far and away. I'm still trying to find...

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

    Hey Mark, any idea if 3-4ms strobes would be enough to avoid obvious flickering at 60hz/70hz? I think my ideal would be to run games at 70hz with vsync on to balance graphics/input lag/motion clarity.

    Yeah I like those headlines better too. Overcoming disbelief has been a big hurdle, and not just because people don't think it's possible. Many are so used to LCD they don't even notice the blur. I'm getting "Huh? What blur?" from a lot of people.

    The VG236H isn't a lightboost monitor, and there's no way to make it so. It doesn't have the necessary hardware components built in.
