It's converting 120hz to 240hz, not true 240hz

That said, I think running 240hz@1920x1080@24bpp would use ~16Gbit/s of bandwidth, I don't know if dual-link DVI can handle that, but I know a DisplayPort would almost be maxed out (without overhead).

Plus, QL is capped to 125fps anyway, right?

fake 240hz, 99.9% of the time that means its MEH.
bet it adds input lag by having post processing to smoothen out the image, useless for anything other than still images or interacting with it without using peripheral devices, which it seems to be made for.

I would like to see what this actually looks like, but probably never will.

Really they shouldn't be doing interpolation because it confuses matters, and there's nothing like the real thing.

I did play a quakelive video I made at 60 fps with svp interpolation and the result was pretty good. Maybe 120 interpolated to 240 would also look good. There has to be a price paid for the fake frames though.

Ye it's just like my 800Hz clear motion rate Samsung TV, its ultra smooth but with a TON of input lag, making it impossible to use as a gaming monitor

"23.5" Monitor with 240 Hz Refresh Rate for Clear, Stable Satellite Images"

Stable Satellite Images

btw this model is positioned as industrial monitor and not for gaming.
eizo have gaming monitor series (they are one of the sponsors of fnatic team) and i'm sure they plan to made 240hz gaming monitor in near future.
so there is something positive in release of this monitor )

and they did it

My TV = 1000 HZ

Lol

absolutely mandatory for all of the hundredandtwentyfive fps from quake

Eizo use LightBoost-style strobe backlight for 240Hz. No interpolation used.

Upon studying the Eizo FDF-2405W manual:

For Eizo’s upcoming monitor, there is good news on page 15:

Reducing motion blur “Blur Reduction”

Motion blur occurs when the eye recognizes liquid crystal transitions which comes from changing screens (frames). When “Blur Reduction” is set to “On”, the backlight flickers in sync with liquid crystal transition*1 so the change cannot be seen, thereby achieving clear images with less blur. (Default setting: On)

*1 This monitor converts 120 Hz input signals into 240 Hz within the panel, and doubles the refresh rate to draw two images per frame. By applying a voltage higher than the input signal to speed up response (overdrive) for the first image, and then drawing the second image with the original input signal, the liquid crystals are stabilized. The “Blur Reduction” function turns on the backlight only for the stable duration of the second image, and off for other durations.

This means no interpolation is used, so no input lag from interpolation! The Eizo “240Hz” monitor achieves 240Hz via a two-pass refresh. One overdriven refresh in the dark, unseen by the human eye, followed by a single backlight strobe flash on a very clean 120Hz refresh. This should produce excellent LightBoost-style quality, reasonable input lag, and excellent VA colors. Although this model is targeted at GIS/mapping, this could potentially become an excellent casual-gaming 120Hz monitor with great color! An interesting question is the strobe flash length, as shorter strobe flahes results in less motion blur.

well, '240hz' double overdrive&non-overdrive frames are basically 120hz' overdriven frames. They've just called it double to differentiate the overdriven part which they try to hide with backlight. But since this is VA it's kinda doubtful that they will succeed doing that within 8ms frames since VA is the slowest type among modern screens. And eventhough it should have noticiably better color than lightboost screens it will be slower than any of them. I'd rather expect their gaming series with this technology coming out soon(since they're the only manufacturer without 120+ hz screens left), with either TN or IPS(which is more likely cause this is eizo and really doable on 1920x1080 panels), that would be awesome since usually they don't fuck up with anything, should be low input lag and great color without the need to mess with lightboost which is the biggest plus.

Actually, VA is fast enough. VA has existed in higher quality panels in 240Hz HDTV's for two years now, so we already know that ckeaber 240Hz is already possible on VA panels.

Computer monitors are manufactured using older LCD panel technology than the LCD factories that manufactures VA panels for HDTV televisions. VA is definitely fast enough for 120Hz; it just takes the right kind of panel.

VA panels with less than a frame of input lag, has already been invented by Sony. I'll take half a frame of input lag, if it means much better 120Hz quality than TN panels.

VA is not without its share of problems though, horizontal gamma shift (not as bad as TN vertical gamma shift but still comparable) and "black crush" (loss of detail in the dark tones) - although I think it can be fixed by calibration on some models.

They always have a bit of input lag when they have good pixel response time too - because they require strong overdrive algorithms I believe. That being said if the input lag is less than one frame it'll be fine for even hardcore gamers.

my crt is 1024x768 @ 160hz with no input lag/motion blur/fake frame bs

what model?

sony g520

can you do 960x720 or is it a 16:9 ?
