    This video neglects to mention the primary cause: eye tracking-induced blur. This is because your eyes are moving while the frame is being shown. This causes blur. Backlight strobing is to combat this by flashing the frame for a short time then showing just black. Your eyes' image persistence will make the image still visible, and it will move with your eyes, thus no blur. While backlight strobing also hides pixel transition artifacts, that's not its main purpose. A CRT is effectively strobed, and why CRTs give such blur-free motion. A higher frame rate helps, but strobing can act like a much higher frame rate without the need for massive GPU processing.

Color gamut, brightness, contrast, hdr, color accuracy/oob calibration/delta error, and more into what makes a good response time, what is refresh compliance, how bs advertised response times are, resolution to monitor size (ppi) to viewing distance, what is acceptable overshoot, and on and on!

      You need to match the games fps to the refresh rate of the monitor to take advantage of strobing and avoid artifacts. Usually you want your games to run at 120fps minimum with 240fps being the sweet spot for strobing. Really only useful in some shooters that are well optimized unless you're running a NASA pc.

    • @rodryguezzz

      They are advertised as HDR monitors because they support a 10bit signal and that's it. TV manufacturers have been pushing HDR for years, but on PC nobody cares and companies spend more time designing RGB lights on the back and other nonsense instead of focusing on improving panel's picture quality. We need mini-leds to become cheap and then we might finally get good full array local dimming and real HDR on monitors.

In the past I would double, triple, quadruple check the video settings to see if motion blur was on, and make screenshots to discern whether the game was actually blurring the scene, because I couldn't understand why it was happening.

      Just watched this on a dumpster dive Dell 16" tube.
      Another hard part of using one of these in the modern era is that they're analog, and require the VGA port.
      The best response times could only be achieved when the GPU could natively output the analog signal.
      These days though, no GPU manufactured since nVidia 900 series has native VGA support.
      Meaning you need to add an adapter. Meaning latency. Usually about one frame's worth.
      And also a hit to reliability. Last time I ran a CRT on a modern PC, my adapter burned out in less than a year.

    This is something I've realized long ago and was probably also because of ltt and other tech reviews. The monitor is the main and very thing that we look at when we use a computer. But for budget builders and even mid range builders, the monitor are one of the components we cheapen out. I had several friends and including me, built our mid to high end ranged pc, but bought cheap monitors and had bad experiences as a whole. So while there are over the top and really expensive monitors, you really can't just buy the monitors by getting the cheapest one with ________(insert whatever feature you are looking for, kike refresh rate, size, etc).

      I have recommended a few people the Acer SA220Q monitor for budget builds. They're surprisingly good for the price offering 1080p 75 Hz with an IPS panel. As long as the response time and color reproduction is good, it probably won't affect your experience much. That said, I regret cheaping out on my 4K monitor. Sure it's 144 Hz but somehow the backlight bleed and color reproduction is worse than my old 1440p panel even though it's from the same brand and even uses the same IPS technology. Might be getting an OLED as I don't see local dimming as a good solution.

    Now I'd like to see something related to this but how it relates to different display types. Riley briefly mentioned OLED, and I know OLED can "actually" hit 1ms (or less) unlike many edge or backlit LED displays that claim 1ms. I've also seem some claims about mini LED having bad response times or smearing. I was hoping mini LED would be a good alternative to OLED for gamers (cheaper, no burn-in), but I may as well skip mini LED if the response times suck and just get something like an LG C2/C3 or B2/B3. I just wish the price for 55"+ would reliably drop below $1000 freedom bucks.
    One of you needs to do a follow up either on here or on LTT about the different display types specifically as it pertains to gaming and use as a monitor. Oh, almost forgot, I also read something about the OLED subpixel layout not being great for text. Maybe it's BGR or something. Sure wish a tech/gaming channel would cover it rather than the TV review channels... 😉

    Guys, I do need some advice about watching 1080p videos on 1440p monitors that no one is talking about !
    Tried some high-spec 1440p models but all of them were blurry, shockingly worse than 1080p native monitors while playing 1080p videos.
    Then I unfortunately learned that the scaler won't be able to precisely transpose the 1080p image onto the 1440p screen. Meaning, blur and other visual artifacts make the video look substantially worse than 1080p native monitors and it's not related with bitrate or compression etc.
    Mainly watching 1080p shows, movies (not streaming on youtube/Netflix etc) and have a huge archive... Tried 4K monitors/TVs with 1080p videos and they look just fine, equal to 1080p native ! 4K is exactly four times 1080p resolution; this means that for every pixel in 1080p, there are four pixels in 2160p, so you just make each pixel four times bigger. Looks exactly like a 1080p display.
    I want to upgrade to 2K for games, web & work but "to watch 1080p videos blurry with artifacts" is holding me back.
    4K is hard to drive and it's expensive but definitely clearer than 1440p !
    - Should I skip 1440p & invest in 4K monitors ? Can you do a video about the elephant in the room ? 🤔

    • @existentialselkath1264
      @existentialselkath1264 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Watching at 720p will scale better but be less detailed. New Nvidia cards have upscaling for browser videos, but honestly there's no perfect solution.
      If you really can't stand it, just watch 1080p videos in a smaller window that fits a 1080p sized portion of your 1440p screen

    • @Hyperllam4
      @Hyperllam4 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There is no elephant in the room. 1080p video shouldn't be blurry on a 1440p screen. Video games do look shitty at 1080p on a 1440p monitor. That's why you pair a graphics card and CPU that can easily handle 1440p.

      Hey man, i own both 1080 and 1440p lg ultagear monitors and sony tvs. I also have huge library like you. I will be honest. There is no easy way. If you want to watch 1080p shows with perfect resolution, play it on a tv. Your tv resolution can be anything but they have inbuilt upscaling software for this. Preferably sony and samsung are very very good in this , i am using it. Else you can have a dark home wallpaper and play the video in monitor in 1080p small window. Its not a bad experience trust me. Getting a 1440p 27 or 32 inch monitors sole purpose is huge improvement in browsing , writing, using office apps. And with hdd prices going down you can slowly upgrade your library to include few 4k shows.

      But generally, don't take it too literal, and just indeed consider it as "strong", as well as check their warranty. Some of these brands for things like cables and cases have high claims for durability and will even exchange when something goes bad for about any reason within a certain period of time. - Not sure about Volta, though.

I frame limit games to 60fps too where possible because my monitor can't display more than 60fps which I guess saves me some electricity ( worlds most expensive power in the UK!)

    • @michaelmonstar4276

      Using a higher framerate than your display's refresh-rate still reduces latency, apparently. So you could cap it a little above (to where it doesn't tear with some kind of sync-feature to help). But yea...

      @flameshana9 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They did. I tested it a lot as well and it's only good for cartoons and very simple anime at 360-720p. For real life content and games it's only good if it's heavily compressed. At higher bitrates it's pointless and at higher resolutions it eats up more gpu power (sometimes by a factor of 4) for less sharpness than free alternatives. MadVR gives more sharpness at resolutions above 720p and for less gpu power.
      You can use both on the same system. Have a portable player set up for one and a regular player with the other, so you get the best of both worlds. For anyone interested there's guides for it, but it doesn't take long to set up.

      It's more for really fast motion and you need to keep track of things. - You can notice it when you want to keep an eye on a lot of details, but you need to move quickly and turn your aim a lot, whether it's in a multiplayer game or even just a casual adventure-game. - Action is just more difficult to track at 60/75Hz. - And yes, it's PLAYABLE, but there IS a blur that messes up your vision in motion. Even trying to read text on a slowly scrolling page, which you can test right now, is hard to do, cause of the actual blurring and relatively low refresh-rate.
      All of that is what annoys me personally and I can't wait to at least jump to 120Hz for a doubling. Going higher isn't realistic for a lot of games anyway, because you need the framerate to back it up.

    • @jessefisher1809
      @jessefisher1809 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@michaelmonstar4276 I've been thinking about it for a long time but well, for one, I have a really hard time finding small 1440p high refresh rate monitors in my area.
      It seems they are either small and 60/75hz or 27" or bigger, which would mean a downgrade in pixel density. That would bother me as aliasing is the bane of my existence.
      Which leads me to the other thing, dldsr. It doesn't play nice with high refresh rates. So then I think, okay lets look at 4k monitors so I can run natively, I mean I do have a 4090 after-all.
      But then its like, okay, what do I do when a game has bad or no AA? Right now its dldsr+reshade. If I'm already at 4k, idk if rending at an even higher resolution is realistic. And a 30" or 32" 4k monitor would have about the same pixel density as my current monitor. I remember when I upgraded to 1440p people were saying "you wont even need AA anymore" yeah that was totally not true. And if you go back far enough, people even said that about 1080p.
      And then there's also, there will come a time when playing at 4k with a 4090 is no longer realistic. Running a 4k monitor at 1440p is going to look like shite. Whereas returning a 1440p monitor, previously downsampled, back to its native resolution, is do-able to extend the life of the card.
      So with all this to think about, I just end up doing nothing. Year after year. Lol.
