Just got a new 240hz 3D TV

[Blockzillahead]

Still it's a gimmick. The normal human eye cannot percieve any difference past 70-100hz. Therefore it's totally useless.

thats because eyes dont work in hz or fps mr IT guy

Back on topic since this guy actually bought the loving thing and most of you have been ridiculing him for buying what he wanted.

OP, what are the rest of your computer specs?

And soap operas are regularly filmed in 60fps, for reference

well its just a 1080 screen. any video card from this decade should toss that thing around just fine.

its been proven that we can see at LEAST up to about 250fps differences.
there is no limit really

but any clown can see the difference between 60 and 100. 60 is very old school stuff

the low low low possibly lowest acceptable standard that i will acknowledge as playable. is 1080p at 60fps.
the consoles right now play things at 900p and 30fps... its disgusting. where is the revolt? why are consumers ok with this. its 2014 now

4 years ago i was bitching that televisions were holding the video game industry back. because they were not upgrading to current hardware capabilities.
now the tv's have, and the consoles are the ones far behind. and half of developers want stuff to work on the consoles, yet trick console gamers into thinking thats the best that there is. so they port dumbed down stuff to pc gamers. its brutal... do we have to wait until the stuffty ps4 and xbone are outdated before some new mediocre hardware gets released?

what audio card you have is far less important than the graphics card you have

He already said what he had.

"Sony Playstation"
"1080p 240Hz"
Someone was very very drunk while making this.

Does this kind of 3D even benefit PC in any way for like the 4 people that can run 3DVision?

Also it looks so bad since it's supposed to be a TV with the speakers on the sides but even so why the hell is it curved like that it looks like a PSP GO.

[Bisjac]

for the record. ONLY sony and samsung tvs have real motion compensation 240hz
other brands just use 120hz with the scanning backlight effect and claim to have 240.

So, mine should have true 240 then, right?

If so, Damn I got a nice deal

Hell, when one of the Hobbit movies was played in 48 fps, a lot of people didn't like it

Because 48 is a really odd number and looks really odd.

Either go with 30 or 60. From a money and tradition perspective, I can see why film wants 24 but we've moved on far past that. It's time that cinema started learning from games, not the other way around.

3d really is a waste, i mean look at the /lack of/ games that support 3d...

>durr hurr durr eyes don't work in hz or fps

Let me educate you...

Refresh rate is based off of hz. It determines how fast the screen produces an image on the screen. The more hz the faster it goes. Eventually it becomes so fast that the human eye can no longer tell the difference. You reach 250 fps and you can no longer tell the difference past that.

People also have problems with too low of a refresh rate. If you stare at a 20 or 10 hz for too long, you'll get headaches and eye strain.

Get educated m80 before you start talking stuff.

heres a simple test to try out
play at 500fps on your 500hz monitor for a week straight
then go to 250fps on a 250hz monitor
you will see a difference. its easier to notice changes better when you step down, not step up and especially not immediately afterwards. i see these tests all the time. they play at 60fps for 1 minute and then move to 120fps. thats not a real test. your brain didnt get enough time to adapt itself to your 60fps.

250 is a random number for a limit btw. there is no limit. because how our eyes work. also please dont initiate any argument here with me. this fps eye debate stuff is stupid anyway. but ill explain whats on my mind.

because eyes dont work in capturing fps(they dont snap a photo of a frame and send it to your brain), they work in capturing continuous streams of light and moving it immediately to your brain. a monitor doesnt produce a continuous stream of light. it stops every 1/whateverHZth of a second to change to black, then change its frame. even if it changes every 1/1000000000000000th of a second, not a continuous stream of light. your eyes will have no trouble perceiving it and sending it to your brain to decode it no matter how fast these changes happen, because its not continuous. but the question still remains at hand, does your brain even care anymore about how smooth something is going? no it doesnt. because smoothness doesnt make for a better game 

if your monitor was continuously producing light, and light that goes faster than light, well then you sir will have some trouble.

as for the 20/10hz thing getting you sick? i can see why. youre staring at a screen that is basically flashing black and bright every 1/10th or 1/20th of a second. your brain will notice these black leaps in between frames at this speed more accurately. even if you yourself dont account for them, your brain will.

bottom line, a monitor cant produce light faster than your eyes can perceive it. if you think it does maybe you oughta build a research paper that says this is possible and become famous
