Many folks have told me more Hz is better and most recently @Remmy at Xi virtual happy hour this past Saturday. Finally as of last year my laptop and even phone are at 120hz. So I finally tried it out with my laptop's built in display and it definitely made a difference even on COD4's old software. Gotta do it. Looking at 144hz to 240hz displays right now any further advice from folks? baldie, Icequeen, bds1961 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

What's the difference between a rental car and a Jeep? There are some places you wouldn't take a Jeep. What do you call a rental car in Spain? A Barceloaner The penguin and the mechanic A penguin is driving a rental car through Arizona when, suddenly, the air conditioner stops working. The penguin, frantic with the heat, swerves into the first car repair shop he sees. Penguin jumps out yelling, "Quick, quick! Drop everything and fix my air conditioner. I'm literally dying from this heat! Really, it's an emergency!" The mechanic says, "Calm down, now. I can fix your car in about a half hour, and you should just go across the street to wait in the ice cream shop. It's cool in there, and they sell soft-serve ice cream." The penguin is thrilled, jumping up and down, and yells, "Yay!! Soft serve is my favorite!", and he scampers across the street waving his stubby wings. Exactly a half hour later the penguin rushes out of the ice cream shop with vanilla ice cream all over his face, and runs into the repair shop, yelling, "Did you fix it!? Did you fix it!?" The mechanic says, "Yeah, no problem. It looks like you just blew a seal." The penguin frantically wipes his mouth and yells, "NUH-UH! That's just ice cream!!"

My old 20" monitor felt much much faster. Doing a real MPRT test with my 27" Samsung monitor shows that it is actually 16.7ms response time which is absolutely fucking HORRIBLE. This monitor has 3 response time settings and set to Quickest it adds something like 12ms of buffering which feels like Input Lag and adds Edge smoothing which makes it look like crap in games.I would rather it be slower response time then have very noticeable input lag and that Edge smoothing crap. It's a Samsung SyncMaster SA550. Here is the test. Start at 0 Pixels Per Frame and adjust up until you see a perfect scrolling checkerboard pattern. Then look at your MPRT which is your Real World monitor Response Time. https://www.testufo.com/mprt YACCster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I should test my old faithful 50" Plasma TV just for the lolz. The thing has an absolutely beautiful picture but they have really slow gtg response times. Something like sub 1 second lol. I'm to broke and cheap to buy something newer and I rarely watch TV. I read that Refresh Rates higher than 74 make a huge difference in gaming. Especially in the E-Sports world where they try to get every advantage then can. Not really fair to us old broke farts that play on what ever we can afford just to have fun but "to each there own" I guess.
