You're welcome! There is a lot of variables that muddies Hz quality geometrics. - It's why LCD seemed to have only ~1.1x difference between 240Hz and 360Hz (the nonzero GtG), instead of the expected 1.5x - In plasmas' case, it's the 3ms phosphor turning its ~600+ Hz into something slightly...

The nice thing is that 480fps 480Hz OLED has much less motion blur than a plasma now, and grandma can see 120vs480 OLED better than 60vs120 LCD ... That's the 4x geometrics and GtG=0 for the win, much like 1/120sec camera shutter and 1/480sec shutter (for 120fps vs 480fps non-strobed). For...

They do! That being said, it's a simple Arduino microcontroller project (photodiode on Zapper, a muzzle accessory), with a wire leading to the composite output of the Nintendo. You'd use a different method of triangulating light gun position such as a Wiimote bar or IR beacons at the corners...

They're definitely in study now -- and many double blind studies also exist by others at lower refresh rates, but they don't acknowledge certain variables, like how increased resolutions amplify refresh rate limitations. For example, not many people cover the stutter-to-blur continuum; see for...

See above diagrams. Just like 4K was $10,000 in 2001, and now a $299 walmart sale -- as long as cheap, high Hz has lots of mainstream benefits. Even Apple is prototyping 240Hz OLEDs for later this decade.

There's blind studies -- but you need GtG=0ms as well as massive geometric differences. With some blind variables like panning map street-label readability test (e.g. map scrolling at 1000+ pixels/sec) -- 240Hz-vs-1000Hz is now shown more visible than 144Hz-vs-240Hz, but it required a very...

Yep, TheOtherOne. But bragging rights aside, there's real practical and ergonomic considerations. 120Hz is currently commoditizing at the moment as a freebie feature. All LG OLEDs has 120Hz available, most new Samsung TVs have 120Hz, XBox/PlayStation support 120Hz, Samsung Galaxy phones...

Correct. There's a lot of limiting factors. 120Hz and 240Hz is diminished by a lot of game inability to run at max frame rate, and the slow LCD GtG that is a large percentage of a 240Hz refresh cycle, which can prevent some 240Hz screens from having half the motion blur of 120Hz screens in...

There is a very major error in your article. All current 360 Hz LCDs are all IPS LCDs. There are no TN LCDs at 360 Hz yet. Please make that correction, TomsHardware. Thank you!

As Blur Busters and inventor of TestUFO, I'm the research firm that cares. I've been cited in over 20 peer reviewed research papers now. For some simpler stuff than academic papers -- a lot of easier textbook reading is in Blur Busters Area 51 Display Science, Research & Engineering.

High Hz is not just for games. Doubling Hz halves Windows scrolling motion blur. Modern GPUs can scroll at full frame rate, so you get the full benefits of high Hz in everyday use; Your web browser scrolling begins to approach CRT motion clarity (without needing strobing) once refresh rates...

Not necessarily. If you own a 120Hz iPad, you'll notice web browser scrolling is 2x clearer. LCD motion blur halves when LCD Hz doubles. And my 360 Hz monitor has 1/6th web browser scrolling motion blur of a 60 Hz LCD monitor. I have the PG259QN here too, and it's absolutely lovely...

Founder of Blur Busters / Inventor of TestUFO here. I should compliment Toms Hardware for improved mainstream-writing description of how motion blur is reduced -- doubling Hz halves display motion blur, as an alternative to strobing. Yesterday's media used to dismiss high Hz, or was not...

Show your credentials. I did. Beyond the credentials I already posted, I invent free tests that several display reviewers (including TomsHardware!) use, as well as RTINGS, TFTCentral, PCMonitors, LinusTechTips, SWEClockers, and many others (proof)! I am considered famous among this crowd...

@spongiemaster @NightHawkRMX As the resident refresh rate celebrity -- Blur Busters may write "eagerly" like those silly HDMI stuff that often has no basis in science -- but we are 100% real science. I'm in research papers such as this NVIDIA scientific paper (Page 2) and pursuit camera...
