    NVIDIA Announces G-SYNC ULMB 2: Over 1000Hz Of Effective Motion Clarity

    He already knows -- he's the guy who did the triple-monitor LightBoost via hacked EDIDs. Here's a photo of Vega's LightBoost strobing rig, powered by a quad Titan SLI back at the time, almost a decade ago: That said, strobing has its pros / cons -- and some people do choose to move away from...

    NVIDIA Announces G-SYNC ULMB 2: Over 1000Hz Of Effective Motion Clarity

    I love ULMB2. I just posted a "Blur Busters Special Sauce" article on ULMB2 on the cover page of Blur Busters (I'll let someone else post the link, I'm bound by a promise to [H] not to be the one to post links except to TestUFO educational animations, but they say anybody can post Blur Busters...

    What can I do with a PCI-E 4.0 x1 slot?

    It's not critically important stuff to most people, but if you play competitively, it's a consideration. I am not sure how many USB root hubs this motherboard has to handle its USB ports -- but some very basic motherboards literally merge all USB ports via internal root hubs into 2 USB links...

    Virtual Desktop at www.vrdesktop.net is a fantastic third party alternative. It lets you render the desktop in many simulated rooms, from outer space or a walkable 3D render of an ordinary computer room. A workaround is to use multimonitor and treat each monitor as its own application window...

    What can I do with a PCI-E 4.0 x1 slot?

    USB ports, and don't bother with PCIe 4. Give your high-Hz USB devices a separate dedicated chip each, no hubs! Reduce the USB load on your motherboard's USB chip, if you have lots of USB devices -- give your 1000-8000Hz mouse its own dedicated USB root chip. Even the extra overhead of having...

    There's very annoying interacting scaling settings -- where 100% DPI needs to be scaled to work properly. The Amazon FireTV, I believe, for example applies a scaling setting in some software (e.g. browsers) that you have to "undo"; and the Aspect setting may interfere with another TV menu...

    The lighting industry did a study on real world PWM effects from a flickering fluorescent light, and they found that perception of PWM-style stroboscopic effects could go way up very high; This forced the industry standardization of 20,000Hz for electronic ballasts, replacing old AC ballasts...

    It's a false behavior at least for Windows 10. The select-monitor doesn't work. The problem really shows up if you have a television set that uses the upside-down B-G-R. Please see the research (by the author of Better ClearType Tuner) about this feature regression (see Conclusion)...

    It's an artifact of the limitation of Photoshopping it quickly -- in reality, it will be much more adjustable like the ClearType "Contrast" setting. ClearType vs Greyscale is also a matter of personal preference, vision differences between humans, and other factors. So for those of you with...

    Why OLED for PC use?

    In a lot of Journal of SID papers (Society for Information Display), tests are already done. Both Samsung and LG panels are already capable of well over 1000 nits when intentionally overdriven to destruction using specialized internal firmwares, slightly higher max-voltage driver, and a beefier...

    Why OLED for PC use?

    Good points -- everyone has different priorities with their displays. The compromise between resolution and refresh rate is tough. But, maximizing the compromise between resolution and refresh rate (for people greatly bothered by motion blur) is very tough. There is no 360Hz display at...

    Why OLED for PC use?

    AFAIK, some (maybe not all?) of these used a strange bounce-scan system (scan downwards in one refresh cycle, scan upwards next refresh cycle) that created weird motion artifacts during fast horizontal pans. This created an aberration in motion quality relative to a proper CRT tube. Some...

    Depends on what your eyes are most bothered by. Not everyone sees the same way. Eyeglasses Prescription? Colorblind? (12% of population) See tearing more than stutters? Bothered by color problems more than brightness? Everyone nitpicks differently. Etc, etc. Some of us get more motion...

    Yes, choosing the most efficient OLED color was the different approaches both LG and Samsung did. The current OLED main emissive color that both Samsung and LG chose, are what they (separately) believe are the longest-lasting OLED light emitters, and then using that emitter color for each...

    Why OLED for PC use?

    Unfortunately, that technique accelerates burn-in. OLEDs used to have separate R,G,B emitters, but they don't do that for PC monitors due to burn-in issues. Old direct-emissive RGB-OLED gains permanent burn-in very fast. Emissive displays using different chemicals can burn-in at different...

    It's just a matter of apps -- it simply that it needs software for 3D-movie-watching and VR-clip-watching. If it doesn't exist yet, it will exist soon as those are obvious applications to be added.

    Hmm. I am curious -- how does the quality of the Quadro M2200 compare to using a high-quality converter on a more recent GPU like the 3000 or 4000 series NVIDIA GPUs? The extra GPU rendering detail compensates somewhat for the need to add a higher Mhz A/D. It's hard to find 400Mhz+ RAMDACs...

    That's interesting way -- to use QFT to enable DAS. The bigger the VBI, the lower lag these OLEDs has, because it transmits the refresh cycle faster (higher horizontal refresh rate = more scanlines per second transmitted over video cable). Since many OLEDs fully buffer the refresh cycle (for...

    LG Ultragear 27" OLED 240hz 1440P 27GR95QE-B

    Based on what I now know about large-size OLED panel backplane behavior, I suspect we're hurtling faster towards 1000Hz capability (~2027-2030ish) than for subrefresh rolling-scan BFI. By the time 1000Hz OLEDs arrive, subrefresh BFI will no longer be critically important for large direct-view...

    Yep. But raytraced are modern titles, and raytraced applications can access reprojection-based optimizations; where 100fps is converted to 1000fps in a lagless manner (assuming UE5 integration, for example). I do think that by the end of the decade, I envision that one can simply use lagless...

    Incidentally, ~150 nits is just about perfect for very ergonomic office use too. During many games and HDR, you can still have that brightness leagues for typical content of many games -- especially space, cyberpunk, dungeon, horror, and other "dark and bright mix" games. You get stunningly...
