Any word on 1920x1200+ 120Hz LCDs?

[Chaotic42]

I know that DVI is a limitation in getting 120Hz LCDs out on the market, but freaking Displayport has been out for a while, my 2008 monitor has a DP port on it. The new ATI cards have DP ports.

Anyone heard anything about 1920x1200+ 120Hz LCDs coming soon?

Would make for awsome gaming. I think some are available at 1080P on newegg.

On an aside. Are HDTV's that claim 120hz capable of taking 1080P(120hz not 60hz?) or is it something where the TV is fed a 1080P60 signal and it does it's own magic to double the hz? Can HDMI cables carry 1080P120?, the 1.4 spec may. The only 1080P120 material would be coming from PC's and perhaps new 3D Bluray players, but a lot of 120hz sets won't support 3D so it leads me to believe the 120hz spec on a lot of HDTV's is a bit of bullocks.

The majority of them just double it internally. The point is to allow smoother display of 24FPS source material.

Film is 24 frames per second.
...
The problem is, most TVs run at 30 frames per second... You can't divide 24 by 30 without filling in the gaps with some junk. That junk causes stuttering in the video. This is a jerky-looking phenomenon that's particularly noticeable when the camera pans across a scene. The conversion is better known by film and TV wonks as 2:3 pulldown.
...
How does this relate to an 120Hz HDTV showing frames at 120 frames per second?
...
These new HDTVs avoid this awkward 3:2 pulldown process altogether by changing their frame rate to something that's a multiple of 24 by using either frame doubling or interpolation (also called "tweening").

At Frys there was a PC monitor 120hz , it was 4k it was a samsung and I think it was LED ... it was 30 inches,, loookss better then apple cinema,, and what not

Given the trend with 16:9 monitors, I don't expect that we'll ever see a 1920x1200 120Hz monitor. The current 1920x1080 monitors will be as big as they get for a while. Meanwhile monitors the next size up (2560x[ZZZZ]) have been rather unpopular due to the price, which hasn't been moving down at all.

Plus as it relates to DP, DP 1.1 only has as much bandwidth as dual-link DVI (more or less), so you can't drive anything over 1920 at 120Hz. You'd need DP 1.2, for which there isn't any silicon yet.

anxiously waiting for a decent 24" 120Hz LCD 1920x1200. patience young jedi, it will come to you soon enough.

Thanks Zap.

For those waiting for 1920x1200@120hz, why not just got with 16x9 solutions that provide almost as much real estate?

Room for two windows 7 taskbars are a considerable amount of real estate. 16:9 is good for movies, but for everything else PC, 16:10 is much better. Especially with hte new ribbons menus, tabs and of course the windows 7 task bar. I¨ve used both 23" 16:9 and 24" 16:10 and definately waiting for a 1920x1200 120hz monitor, extra height givbe better immersion in FPS games

Everyone knows that 1920x1200 is dying because everyone is moving or has moved on to 1080. It's just the way it is.

Quite sad. 1080 is great for those coming from smaller res screens, but coming from 1680x1050, its such disappointment. But cheapness, low cost sells. Thats the main reason for 1080. If 1920x1200 completely disappears from the market, I will fork out the cash for a 2560 x1600 rather go for a 1080.

I think 2560x1440 could replace 1920x1200 but i woudln't be surpised if they were actually getting ridculous price margins by selling it in the same "price per perfomance" as 30 inch 2560x1600 monitors to get massive amounts of profits.

Again, this still baffles me. I made a post about it several days ago:

I went from 1024x768 19", to 1680x1050 21" (16:10) and finally to 1920x1080 24" (16:9). Honestly, I don't notice the difference in aspect ratio at all except when playing a game.

Yet this is exactly the opposite of what the general consensus here seems to be, anyone that went to 1680x1050 doesn't seem to like 1080p at all...

Because you haven't used a 1920x1200 or 1600x1200 monitor. You really start to miss those 120 pixels once you have them.

 

[Zoeff]

I can't say I've used a 1600x1200 resolution, but I did go from a single task bar in XP to a double height one when I moved to Win7. That was when I was already using 1920x1080 for a year or so. So I did loose some pixels overall.

I've also got a bookmarks toolbar in my firefox above the tabs, then again most people probably do.

And yes, I do a lot more non-gaming than gaming.

Perhaps I'm just lucky that it doesn't affect me as much?

1600x1200 FTW!!!

If they insist on 16:9 bullshit I demand 4:3 options

Im gonna keep rocking my 24" 1920x1440 72Hz CRT untill they stop fucking people in the ass with crappy LCDs. My monitor keeps getting older and older and LCDs keep getting worse and worse. Even the most batshit insane expensive LCDs are crap in comparison, color banding, quality issues, screen blotching, backlight problems, and all manner of stupid crap. I dont think my CRT will hold out untill I can print my own OLED screen...

How is it that I got a heavy duty super high quality accurate beast of a glass screen monitor 10 years ago for less than a modern platic peice of junk? I am more than willing to drop a grand if only someone would make something NOT garbage...GAH!

Fast response 4:3 FTW!!!

Yeah, and how much did that CRT cost back in the day new/retail?
