LG’s latest hits one frame per millisecond at a full 1080p resolution.

no clue.. I have 144 and usually don’t even have it enabled.

meanwhile i got my first 165hz monitor and now i get all snooty when games are capped at 60



The human eye can only see 999 FPS /s

Frames per second per sarcasm

Yeah, it’s the rolling of the eyes that really limits it.




“full 1080p” - Big whoop, that’s rookie numbers of pixels


Low Perceived motion blur looks amazing. I only seen 165hz and I can imagine how much better that would look (when or if we uncouple framerate from performance like i heard from Intel gpu guy)

Was he talking about frame generation? Otherwise I don’t really see how that’s supposed to happen.

That is one they used as example but there’s other things people been trying (with different pros and cons). I remember one where it just kept the old frames as needed but that causes a lot of weirdness but it felt really smooth.
