Lag Free Setup

[Rorooze]

confused? it says on the spec sheet

1125 (1080)/60p (HDMI only)

[LN]

1080i =/= 1080p

[Rorooze]

Ok lemme get this right

from the spec sheet

Full HD
1125 (1080)/50i
1125 (1080)/60i
1125 (1080)/24p (HDMI only)
1125 (1080)/50p (HDMI only)
1125 (1080)/60p (HDMI only)

are the last three entries not 1080p at 24,50,60 hz? or is there some TV lingo i'm missing here?

[LN]

This is a far more important spec to consider:

Number of Pixels: 1,366 x 768

[Rorooze]

True, scrap that idea then.

:< Back to the asus methinks.

[LN]

Yeah, bit of a case of "too good to be true" (big, reasonably priced IPS panel that's somehow fast AND also 1080p)

[electric]

Yeah, I should have mentioned it only does 720p, but that's a good thing if you're only going to be using it for SF4 since that's the native resolution it runs at.

And from what I understand, TN > IPS > PVA. The benefit of IPS over TN in larger panels is price.

[Rorooze]

MVC3 is gonna be 1080p so no point buying a 720p monitor, otherwise yeah it'd be fine for SSF4. Grrr. Looks like the Asus is gonna win. Might pick it up this weekend, then just gotta do a lag test. hm

Rory, can you help me lag test mine one time? Just for piece of mind really.

After speaking with you on Facebook, I am glad to hear you have resolved your issue by buying a BenQ 24" model.
You have a PC monitor, not a television. The entire lag shitstorm, simply does not apply to you because you won't even feel it

Congratulations, good purchase.
Speaking from the P.O.V of the person who has done the closest to factual lag testing out of anybody here, and somebody who actually owns the S-video CRT + HD Graphics card + the cables required to attempt a true test.
If you wanted to do a test to see how close yours is the the giga monitors, Rory could help you with that.

Man I wish there were seminars on this type of thing. :/

[LN]

Well, do you actually need to understand the issues? For the vast majority it's probably better just to get a "buy this monitor" response.

Thanks, although i did buy it back in Sept after the recommendations here so i haven't worried about it since then.
Just thought IF i could check it, i would be interested.

best monitor i could find so far for no to less than 1 frame of lag

[fluxcore]

That's the 24" version of the monitor I got for my arcade cabinet. No complaints here.
