I found an old abandoned CRT about 2 weeks ago and decided to connect it to my laptop. It's taking a shitload of space but having two screens sure is nice.
I did the test with my laptop screen (60hz) and scored an average of 249.33 ms on 12 attempts. Then I moved the browser to the CRT and tried : 220.5 ms on 12 attempts. A difference of 30 ms. Yes I know I'm still slow as fuck.
I don't think it's a luck thing, my LCD really must have a bad input lag. Or maybe it's just a matter of framerate? I have no idea what my framerate is on the CRT... How could I get that information? I searched on google but really couldn't find anything helpful. Are there specialized websites or something? The only thing I know about the monitor is that it's a Future Power 17db77b.
Hey, maybe I should set it as main screen to be able to play QL on it. Although it might feel awkward playing with the laptop keyboard on another screen... anyone ever tried that?
that's what i noticed too when i switched to a G400.
With other mice i got about ~250ms average(with aero on), but with the G400 i averaged at ~220ms(aero on).
I think it's the angle of mouse buttons. I taped some paper and plastic on my mouse1 to make it higher (more mx518 like) and it seems that from that angle you react faster (press button faster).
this is cheating! My reaction time fell from 230 to 170! watafak?!
edit: I'll just add that I'm using old shitty 60hz LCD so this aero trick really does work
I'm interested in a result of guy who left literally 1 pixel for rg to ra shot in tdm on dm6. I saw it on lvl^ stream a year or two ago and haven't managed to reproduce it yet.
I don't mean "pixel rail" like when someone is leaving the room.
This guy was ducking on rail platform and left himself one pixel space to rail someone jumping from ra to first column. Everyone knows this position but I've never seen anyone leaving himself such narrow gap not to mention hiting through it.
There is nothing about prediction - you cant see or hear what's going on on ra platform from this postition.
Yes, this or autoshot. Or maybe it's actually possible with smth like zoomfov 5?
It was one year ago or even more. All I remember is the exact situation and that it was highly stacked tournament match (I was watching it on lvl^).
I remember trying this on windows 7 and i think there was almost a 30ms delay with it. That only translates to the web browser not full screen games, i think!
but I didn't try really.... but I guess I could get better at least 20 ms if I trained that test ... and if I would play Quake on regular basis which would train my reaction I could get another 30 ms ...
I don't play games these days and I've done similar score like yours. Like you said if you practice the test you can drop the time dramatically because your learn the mechanics. I think the green is changing at around 6-7 seconds. Proof that reaction time and prediction is both needed to success :-)
Well i wont even post my results lets just say i suck lol, even tho im sure it cant be that bad ingame. It takes a while to warm up in a known enviroment like quake, i would prolly had to play hours to connect with this boring box. cool story?
