MODERATORS
After having a TCL smart TV that constantly smells like burning plastic, even a year after using it, I'm not sure I would want another of their product in my home.
Mine burnt out half the led strips in 3 years. Will never buy again. Idc how affordable they are. I miss when appliances and electronics were built to last, not break after a few years.
It's so that you know it's working hard
Now tell us the pixel response time.
Hitting a locked 1000 Hz and nitpicking the frame-pacing is not the point of high refresh rates. It makes exact framerate irrelevant. Even for mundane double-digit framerates - this would work the same as FreeSync. Frames would appear the instant they are ready. There is no difference between 60 FPS and 59 FPS.
You can limit an efficient game to 240, and if it doesn't hit that, who gives a shit.
Please stop
Why?
(Genuine question.)
Genuine answer is that it's just not necessary. Current displays are sharp and smooth enough. I'd rather a display that lasts for a few decades, since the only reason to replace these is when they break down.
Your eyes can't possibly tell the difference. We're past the max eye resolution at this point.
What does refresh rate have to do with resolution?
I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.
Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I'm on the road and haven't delved too deeply into it
Edit: Type to Typo
And nothing you’ve stated refers to resolution
Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn't disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It's still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.
I'm hoping that people stop giving an actual fuck at around 400 so that they can just simply produce that and stop.
I would be happy with a 240hz 4k that doesn't have a subtle hum when it's going that hard. It's hard to test for because shops are too loud to hear it, but in a quiet office it gets very noticeable.
