Missing 75Hz refresh rate!

Haha, that's awesome.

As much as it's somewhat of a non-issue, i think you should email them back that link showing it @ 75 Hz :laugh:

Pwned by their own site 😀
 
LCD monitors don't refresh. End of story, almost. The other half is that graphics cards drivers, knowing the former fact, implement 1680x1050 at 60 Hz ONLY.

Sure you can hack that one way or the other, but that's ultimately pointless because LCD monitors don't refresh.

I completely agree with you on this, but for this particular monitor, forcing that refresh to 75 actually got rid of banding issues for a lot of people, myself included.

So, would you buy an LCD monitor that only supports 2Hz and fails if you go to 3Hz?
I am not trying to argue. I want to understand what the limit is. You say the rate does not matter. Do you mean it does not matter period? So, even a 1Hz refresh rate would still look smooth in a game?

If not, what is the limit? 60Hz, 50Hz, 40Hz, ....?
 
60 Hz is plenty fine because (a) LCDs don't refresh and thus don't flicker when the frame rate goes too low, and (b) the rate of screen changes is capped by the LCD switching latency, which, if you look at actual figures not marketing, is about spot on the 16.6ms content update rate you get at 60 Hz.

Just for the record, 2 or 3 Hz update rate would possibly still give you a stable picture on the LCD, only that all movement would be rather slideshow-ish.

I don't care about 2D performance at this point.
Below what refresh rate does human eye notice the slideshow-ish behavior?
