there are alot of lcd screens out there whtch are :thumbdwn: were you get ghosting it is not the hz it is the lcd

I have a dell 2407 and in Wow if I set it to 75hz instead of 60 there is a noticeable smoothness increase. Even in crysis the game skips seem to dissapear at 75hz. (running Vista 32/64 bit Ultimate)

my 226BW is no POS lol, look at the new LCD TVs. Why are they 120hz?

the 2407wfp cant do 75 at native without forcing it and you can kill it over time :p

LCDs work different from CRT but yes they also have refresh rates, which is the rate frames are updated on the screen. The difference lies in that CRTs have to update the entire frame where LCDs only update the necessary pixels, by changing the polarization of the correspondent liquid crystal, and that's where response time comes in, it's the time crystals take to change their polarization since the response to the electrical field is not instantaneous.
So yes LCDs runs smoother at higher refresh rates, and obviously with lower response times.

THANK YOU, so i'm NOT crazy! or blind..... :bleh:

Because they can handle 60fps (x2)and 24 fps (x5) with vsync.
Running VSYNC on a LCD will indeed appear smoother with high refresh rates.

Yea, I run with vsync and triple buffering.

lol, when I run this check on the Vantage page my system score is far to the right, beyond the "2" for recommended systems... But the test says: "Close, but no Cigar. Your system doesnt meet the mininum requirements" ... pwned

Pics look good.. although I don't see anything there that can't be done with DX9/SM3.

Those 3 screenshots/wallpapers look like they could be from the opening scene of Revenge of The Sith, especially the middle one. Very cool looking! :thumbsup:

Go ask him for a copy.

...........I know what a CRT is and I know how high a 24 inch Trinitron tube can hit refresh rate wise blah blah blah, been there done that. I know all about CRT refresh rates.

LCDs are theoretically stuck at 60hz. My LCD only gives me the native option of 60hz. When i override it with Reforce and the nvidia custom resolution tool, the limit is 77hz, anything over that and the monitor doesn't allow or the display becomes garbled.

Now back to my point. At 60hz, my mouse cursor has noticable skipping, ghosting and lag on the desktop, when I switch to a game, it the exact same problem. FPS games look like complete horse fecal matter when my refresh is at 60hz.

Now, when I raise it to 77hz, everything moves smooth as butter, comparable to like 100hz smoothness on a CRT. There is no more skipping, lag, or ghosting, all that is gone. Why is that so hard to believe?


What res are you running at ? Im using 1680x1050 with my 226cw.Guess it would be asking to much to run at 75hz then or ?
