1920x1080 / 60p/24p meaning?

[Matsy]

On a TV that says its 100hz on the website + everywhere you can buy it,

why does it say 1920x1080 / 60p when you turn the TV on?

(go to 0.49 in the video)

 

Does this mean its only 60hz and the 100hz is a lie?

 

Later in the video (at 1.45 it says 1920x1080 / 24p...what is going on here?

It then changes to a lower resolution and then back to 1920x1080 / 60 p o_o

it's displaying the current speed, windows selects 60 HZ itself with most monitors, he hadn't changed it before going on.

it means that the max refresh rate for the panel is 100hz. and that it can work with all signals up to 100hz, like 24P, and 60P.

Oh...you know I googled what it meant and got very little actual answers.

So if you connect a PC to it, you can change it to 100hz and it will display at 100hz (from the PC)?

 

guessing right click desktop - screen resolution- right click the TV - monitor and there will be an option in Screen refresh rate for 100hz?

 

If so, I've found my new TV! .... now to just wait for a sale.... <_<

steps are a little messed up the way you said it, but yea fiddle around there and you should find the refresh rate.

Yeh was just a quick type, busy trying to not die in tribes :c

Thanks for your help!

It may only be software emulated 100hz.

After some research I think you are right

Something to do with smoothing technologies, no TV's are normally above 60hz apparently, they all just use smoothing to make it go higher, but this only applies to TV viewing and doesn't happen when on the PC signal.

Oh well, not like I care, 60 is smooth to me.

[Helltech]

yeah most TVs won't "actually" go over 60Hz when you hook it up to a computer and fiddle around with it. Its all marketing/smoothing nonsense, similar to contrast ratio really.

Meh.

This is the best TV of this size that I could find, in this price range, with accurate colors, deep blacks (not as deep as plasma but yeh) with minimal input lag (16ms), compared to LG ones which have 30ms+

[Glenwing]

There are no TVs over 60Hz (HDMI doesn't support that much bandwidth anyway lol).

 

What happens in "120Hz" TVs or whatever, the TV analyzes each frame, then generates fake frames by calculating what a frame would look like in between each of the real frames.

 

Usually you want to turn this feature off for games because those calculations cause noticeable input lag.

To get high refresh rate you should go a for a gaming grade TN monitor that is advertised for running at that frequency, like part of the benq XL series and a couple Asus monitors too.

But you will get a TN panel with not as good colors, but you have to decide what you want. I prefer the smooth motion, fluid gameplay and just overall more fun experience over the better colors any day

This is just for gaming on a big screen (with a controller) sitting back and relaxing :C

Would you plan to get a TV if it's going to be used as a computer monitor? Just get a proper monitor.

I already have two monitors.

This is just to replace my current TV which is on its way out.

Also I want to connect it to my PC, duplicate my main display on it and use the big TV for games(not FPS) so I can sit back and relax with a controller and movies.

It's going to be used for freeview HD as-well though

Oooooh, in that case, I can see the desire to want the tv. I see where you're going with this, now.

Usually, the 100hz (or whatever number they put on the marketing material for these tvs) refresh is done internally.  Usually tvs support 1080p 60hz or 24hz at the hdmi port level....then the TV does interpolation if you want. If you connect a pc to it, it will most likely only see a 60hz/24hz capable display...you won't be able to set your videocard at 100hz.

Like everyone said. All TV's are 60Hz max.

But there is an exception. Plasma. They go to 120Hz, for 3D. They work like the 120Hz computer monitor for 3D, where you use active shutter glasses.

They are rare, as the glasses cost a lot, and well the TV is plasma, and it's not really the preferred choice by many.

You don't have TV's using TN panels (ok, fine, yes you do, the super crappy no names ones, but you know what I mean), due to the short view angles they provide.
