Info Needed

This might seem like a bizarre poll but there's a point to it - I need the info for my mod.

Thanks!

70 hz for me, 60 and under gives me a headache!

bigboywooly · 10-20-07, 01:54 PM

Mine is 70 also

I have my LCD at 75 Hz. For some reason I have been getting a strange "tearing effect" whenever I pan the free camera. Also, waves will sometimes flicker where they meet a ship's hull. It's very annoying and my hardware had been working fine for a long time; this seems to have happened out of the blue. Adjusting the refresh rate doesn't help. I have an 8800GTS (640MB).

I have a LG Flatron Wide LCD 20.1 LG204W It runs on 60Hz at 1680x1050 or 75 1280x1024

I'm still running a CRT, so 72MHz is minimal. I've read vertical refresh rate is not a factor with LCD monitors, but I can't speak from personal experience.

TarJak · 10-21-07, 03:05 AM

70Hz CRT

tommyk · 10-21-07, 04:10 AM

always 60Hz (2407wfp)

LG Flat here to, running on 60Hz

You guys with LCD monitors do realise that refresh rate in terms of hertz is irrelevant, right?

(Although the current talk of 180Hz LCD TVs sounds interesting)

Refresh rate relates to CRT screens; CRTs must constantly redraw the screen, since the phosphor layer only glows for a short time. The hertz frequency determines how many times per second that the screen is redrawn.

LCDs don't have a refresh rate in this sense - the transistors on the screen maintain a color and brightness until the video card tells them to change. The total time it takes the monitor to make this change is referred to as the response time and is measured in milliseconds.

LCD monitors include hertz frequencies for supporting analogue connections/video cards (those that need to sync to a refresh rate). Most LCDs, if not all, support 60Hz and 75Hz for this reason. Choosing 60Hz is more than sufficient and actually is of no consequence: 60Hz ~ 16ms - I think all LCD response times are now less than this (mine is 2ms).

Have you got VSync on or off? Try toggling it and see what happens (by rights turning it on should reduce your tearing).
