So I'm reading about 200 Hz tvs/monitors at http://DansData.com/askdan00043.htm
and a few questions come to mind. If a single-link DVI maxes out at 1920x1200 60 Hz, then 1920x1200 120 Hz should max out dual-link DVI. So even dual-link isn't fast enough for 200 Hz. A first order wild guess calculation says dual-link might be good for 1920x1080 at approx 133 Hz. Does HDMI or Displayport have a higher limit than DVI? Last time I looked at LCD speeds, they weren't fast enough to do 60 Hz properly. For 200 Hz you'd want the worst case change time to be < 5 milliseconds. The marketing numbers they throw around are *not* worst case. Dan neglects to mention this problem. Dan's writing is confusing. First he says that 200 Hz TVs "have a genuine 200Hz frame-rate". Then later he says " "200Hz" televisions are not the same as "200Hz" computer monitors " and "we'll be seeing complaints from poor schmoes who've spent all week trying to make 3D Vision work with their new $US2000 "200Hz" LCD TV". As far as I can see, the difference is that TVs include fancy image processing (and a tuner). Surely you can turn off the image processing? Or is there some other difference that would spoil shutter glasses 3D? Speaking of 3D, does anyone have a pair of the recent yellow/purple glasses they could run through a transparency scanner? Given the various descriptions of the colors (yellow-amber-brown, and blue-purple) it's hard to know what colors to look for to build a pair. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
