Mitsubishi's LCD Does 120 Hz Interpolated Full HD

[Ehsan w]

What if you can run games on 30 fps? Will it double that too? Oraybe bring that up to 120 frames aswell? I'm confused.....

[citation][nom]phoenix777[/nom]I'll buy a 120HZ 3D ready monitor when it's 1920x1200 res.16:9 ratio bothers the crap out of me, too flat.[/citation]16:10 does not make THAT much of a difference you know! Besides, my monitor has HDMI inputs and it's natively 1920x1200. When I run my HD cable box to it, it runs at 1080p and looks fine. It does show some slight rippling but you wouldn't even know if I showed you.

[citation][nom]Ehsan W[/nom]What if you can run games on 30 fps? Will it double that too? Oraybe bring that up to 120 frames aswell? I'm confused.....[/citation]No. That is completely dependent on the hardware in your machine/computer. What we are talking about here is the refresh rate of the monitor. If your monitor refresh rate is 60Hz and you lock the vertical sync on your video card and play a game, it'll only display up to 60FPS. If you unlock the vertical sync, it'll go higher, but it will "tear". Your screen STILL will only show you "visually" 60FPS worth of image data even though the FPS of your video game might be at 150. I honestly don't know why they even bother with this crap. And no, it won't make your 30FPS game run any faster. Does anyone have actual CONCLUSIVE data as to how this will help you see images more clearly??? The only thing I can think that is noticeable on LCD's is a blurring effect on 1st gen screens... like when text moves across (not the g2g response time, that would be ghosting).. with this 120Hz and 240Hz technology, it brings that to a minimum. Actual movement on screen is smooth and fluid. Right?

Come up with some new goddamn material...

For those that can't see a difference, i am sorry, the matter is very subjective, but don't try to convince other people that there is not. Also for those that can see a HUUUUUUGE difference, please don't try to convince other people as well. As i said the matter is subjective and it is up to anyone to make a decision on his own.
Obviously the best option would be to see it in real life, but since we are here...

Sooooooo..... what makes this better than any other 120Hz screen?

 

[darkguset]

The vertical resolution will be 1 more pixel, 1920x1081!

How about the new DisplayPort standard, so we have the bandwidth to natively run 240Hz with a single cable?
I'm going to skip 120Hz monitors, and just wait for 240Hz (I already have three 23" 2048x1152 monitors, not like I could justify buying a new one anyways).

[citation][nom]doped[/nom]real 120hz in monitors, and "fake" 120hz in lcd tvs, was what i meant, sorry.[/citation]

Yeah this is what I havent been able to understand from consumers for some time now. Everyone is like oh Motionflow blah blah blah 120hz this, 240hz that but its all fake. Watching movies on a tv with that crap turned on looks like the movie is going in slow motion to me. Playing competitive video games with that crap turned on is impossible. But everyone tries to sell you on that because they are like it looks better.

Well true the picture might look good, but its still fake. Trying playing Street Fighter on a tv with any motion enhancement stuff turned on and try to buffer some moves. Next to impossible the delay is horrible.

Where is the DisplayPort input? It seems that many hardware manufacturers are reluctant to embrace DP technology.

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]Come on, Ive had a 1920 x 1200 24" gaming panel for over 3 years now long before it was the norm, why would I want to go backwards in size and resolution?? I dont understand the push for the lower 1080p monitors from 1200p. Wish they would do a 30 inch monitor at 2560 x 1600 in 120htz....anyone....Bueller...[/citation]
Yes, 30 inch @ 1600p and 3D is what I'm waiting for myself. Come on Dell, give me the goods

The irony is that even with all the discussion and debate about which LCD technology is better, none of it can touch what we used to get with CRT. How can anyone call themselves a hardcore gamer when they sacrifice contrast, black levels, brightness, response times, refresh rates and ultimately FPS in order to save a few inches of real estate on their desk. I'm sticking with my CRT till it dies. And then I'll find another one.

Eizo has LCD monitors with LED backlighting on an IPS display that shows more gamut and contrast then any CRT. Something like 115 percent of the RGB Gamut is viewable. You will be paying big money to obtain one but it is still better then CRT's. Average gaming LCD's on the other hand, right now, are no match for a CRT, in terms of what you mentioned. It still displays a much more crisp picture regardless.

I wonder why manufacturers stay within the 300cd/m2 limits,
Those kind of limits are non damaging to the eye, yes, but when you're in a room where the sun shines in, or when you're working in a very low light environment, those displays just don't work!
They either give off too much light in low light, or are too dim in bright sunlight (looking grey).
Mitsubishi, originally a car manufacturer btw, can have all engine they want, if the display is used in a sunny environment (office with wide windows), the display will look grey, dim, and colors might look washed out!

I think you mean one more scanline. One more pixel would be 1920x1080+1.

LOL interpolation is another way of saying "hey we finally have put the 120hz/240hz tech from the hdtv market into pc monitors! And now we're going to trick you by calling it a fancy name instead!"

And now they will also market a remote control that comes with the monitor but for PC user's sake they will call it a "wi-fi control IR transmitter" and will make people think it's better than a TV remote.

Now we can use Nvidia 3D Vision with the glasses, im guessing this thing will be pretty expensive though

Hmmmm.....Based on the article I suspect we won't see any competent technical reviews until the end of the year, perhaps in time for the Christmas Holidays. I'd be interested in seeing benchmarks.
