looking for a video shot at 120fps to test monitor

Where can I find this? Preferably, id like a video at 26or30fps, 60fps, and 120fps. I saw this looking around the forums, and would just like to see what 120fps video looks next to 30 and 60.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong someone, but a video shot at 120fps would appear slower than one shot at 30 fps? Like high speed cameras.

But I think you're looking for one shot at 120 fps and then played back at 120fps rather than one that's shot at 120fps but played back at 30fps (reference high speed cameras again). I could find high FPS videos all day long, but trying to find one that's specifically encoded to play back at 120fps would be a challenge.

Then again, I could be all confused as hell and totally off base, so the grain of salt rule applies.

Edit: Maybe a 3D bluray rip that's encoded to maintain 120fps? Enh, random idea. I'm not too up-to-snuff on the 3D tech yet, hence my other threads.

well im guessing there probably arent very many video clips of 120hz video, because most are making the move from 24-30fps to 60fps. Im guessing there might be a video game clip or something out there, showcasing 120hz vs 60hz monitors.

Maybe theres a clip of someone playing a video game recorded at 120fps. i guess im looking for something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nU2_ERC_oE but for 60 vs 120.

I know i can see a difference in fast pace games when playing on 120hz vs 60hz, but i just want a quick video for more clarity, so i can convince myself further that i really need 120hz.

Id imagine you just came off of years of 60hz. Just give it time to allow your mind to forget how to interpolate 60hz. In a couple of months, just dragging a window around at 60hz will be hell.

This is something that I hate about having really nice computers. When I go to work I have to put up with rubber dome keyboards, 60hz monitors, and worst of all: mouse acceleration. It feels just I'm just trudging through balls trying to get my work done.

Yes, it all depends on play back speed, video shot at 120fps would only appear slow if it was played back at 60 or 30 or 24 fps, etc without dropping frames

@ 60 fps it would appear 2x slower than real time, 30fps = 4x slower, 24fps = 5x slower.

I am just curious, how do you intend to SEE the difference of a 120FPS video vs a 60FPS video?

What you really need is actually a camera able to record at about 200FPS, then film the screen of your display and play back at low FPS, to see the refresh line cycling through the image.

Well i can defintley see the effects right now while im browsing and moving my cursor. I also feel like its more responsive in games where I can produce a high FPS.

I would just like a video of a video game side by side to see the actual difference.

Im not as interested in what a camera can see as I am what my eyes perceive it as and how it feels/looks.

is it wrong that I prefer scissor lock keyboards? :$
Well built scissors are pretty decent... Until the scissor thing separates LOL. Every one of those that I have had to put back together is like the biggest PITA ever.

I don't know of a single LCD that refreshes line by line like CRTs did. It would be awesome if there was one though because it would lower input delay down to CRT levels.
