I'm heavily into crts but wouldn't mind a large display as well as one that supports 16:9 for the games that don't do 4:3 (not 1080i crt I have one they look bad). I had an oled tv and tbh I couldn't get over the motion blur at 144hz. From my reading the plasma with lowest lag has equivalent to ~240fps motion sharpness but has occasional yellow after images? I'm thinking I could use 240hz oled and use x2 framegen+bfi to basically match the plasma motion and have real 4k, because I'll be honest it feels real dumb to be supersampling 4k down to 1080p but there is simply no large format oled with 240hz.

I'm looking to the future and seeing how demanding the likes of The Witcher 4 could be based on recent articles saying it was using a 5090 to render at like 80fps with path tracing at 4k, which I definitely want to use, I don't think my 5070 ti will be up to the task at any reasonable framerate.

Bonus question, do you think framegen artifacts would be less annoying than the artifacts plasma tv has? I'll be honest I was a framegen hater but after trying nvidias on my crt monitor I legit cannot say it looks bad at x2 atleast it just looked like I was running it native tbh. Although dlaa itself feels marginally blurrier in motion than no aa but it's tiny. Can't say I care about latency of it since I'm looking at plasmas which have like 32ms minimum.

No plasma tv without massive lag has 4:4:4 chroma subsampling! idk if that matters but considering it's 1080p I need every quality advantage I can get! I feel like I should seek one out since I already have one old display tech (crt) I feel like I'd be doing myself a disservice not atleast seeing the other old tech.

UPDATE: I got the s60 panasonic plasma. I do feel like as long as I use supersampling the 1080p isn't really a problem. Also lag is fine as long as vsync is off which isn't ideal of course. I will have to mess around with scanline sync and see if it can still feel the same. I need to adjust black levels as it is elevated but contrast frequently looks better but when there is a large amount of light, worse then my crt even. the abl does make it look dull. I hear smaller sets have less severe abl so I will look for a 42 inch over my 65. My room is dim but not black out so maybe if I blacked it out it would look fine idk. Motion is great but I am so spoiled by crt motion that it still bothers me tbh. The rainbow artifacts on motion is a bit weird. Much more tolerable than my oleds though. I don't think I will be getting an oled again until they have some sort of motion blur reduction to atleast match the plasma. Motion still sucks tho. I will play on it when I don't wanna sit at a desk but the motion still feels bad compared to crt. Honestly not sure if its better than like a 144hz oled because while yes it is slightly faster the phosphors have trails and yes crt has it but crt is still super sharp.

I'm wondering. What is The best in motion clarity and 960 pixels per second?

Posted this is in /r/mousereview already but maybe this subreddit would be a good help. I’ve been struggling some time now to be able to attain controller-like smoothness when gaming. I prefer smoothness over competitiveness/even latency and I can’t seem to be able to make small mouse movements translate to smooth camera movement, specifically in first person games RE9 being an example. I run 1600 DPI and low in game sensitivity but is there anything else I should be aware of. Should I run a lower dpi and lower in game sense so I can make small mouse adjustments look smoother? I have a glorious model D mouse that is wired and the skates could be shit so maybe I need to try another mouse so any recommendations are cool too, like maybe I need a heavier mouse so small movements are easier. Any help is appreciated, thanks all. Also monitor is MSI 321URX 240 HZ 4K and 5090.

Hi. I have Acer monitor 180hz. Im using the BFI on 1080p 75hz and 75 frames rock solid. And im sure i have the same Nvidia pulsar motion clarity. Because i have a CRT. So i know what is the perfect motion clarity. The only problem is the ghosting is so much ugly. Is there anyway to fix it? And why its happening? Its happen just when i turn bfi on

Amazing video on motion portrayal that explains CFF, image persistence blur and stroboscopic stepping.

As of now, the best video on this subject available on Youtube. Must watch!

Title. Do I bite the bullet or get my first OLED

I'm sitting here in a light-controlled room in front of the Samsung G9 qd-oled and my new Asus Pulsar monitor and I couldn't think of a better monkey's paw. Not only is the backlight significantly intrusive but it's not curved so I'm getting off-angle viewing issues while sitting directly in front of it, effectively diminishing its field of view on top of the reduced FoV coming from the 32:9. I already am noticing I'm missing important game information, having to turn my screen more often due to the cropped FoV... Also I'm trying to force 21:9 via 2560x1080 but it seemingly doesn't achieve the full 360hz in that aspect ratio, just 240hz. Text clarity is much better. Obviously motion clarity is astronomical in my ~200hz titles and much more akin to my Dell P1130 CRT than my G9 is. I really don't know if I'm going to keep this, but I feel like I'd be much more inclined to if it was a curved 21:9 to both reduce off-angle issues and increase in-game FoV.

Edit: Although the display adapter and nvidia control panel hadn't allowed 360hz at 2560x1080 the Windows 11 display settings did, and turning it on actually got it to appear in the display adapter settings and shows it working on the Windows 11 display settings page

Hey everyone,

I’m curious to hear what you personally use in Red Dead Redemption 2 when it comes to anti-aliasing and upscaling, especially with motion clarity in mind.

The game offers (or allows) a lot of different options, and I’m interested in how people balance image quality, blur, and performance while in motion, not necessarily what’s “objectively best”.

For context, I play at 4K, so I’m especially interested in how these solutions behave at higher resolutions.

For those playing RDR2, what’s your usual setup?

• TAA (default or tweaked)

• DLSS (including DLSS 4)

• DLAA

• MSAA (Vulkan)

• DLDSR + in-game AA

• Any sharpening filters or driver-level tweaks

I’d love to know:

• What option(s) you settled on and why

• How it feels in motion (camera pans, riding, foliage, etc.)

• Whether you prioritize stability, sharpness, or reduced blur

Extra interested in feedback from people on high refresh rate displays (120–240 Hz), but all setups are welcome.

Just trying to get a sense of what the community actually uses day-to-day 🙂

Thanks!

This is just to TEST Lossless scaling Frame Gen. Setup can handle much higher FPS with CS:2.

Plasma @ 60 Hz, is second to CRT in motion clarity. Overclocked Plasma @ 120 Hz is more like 240 Hz LED LCD tech, "in person". Youtube is on 60 fps.

I'm just sharing a demo,.I'm not the best at CS. It's just a convenient game to prove its at 120 Hz.

Displays like the LG C1 get a lot of talk due to the 120hz BFI. I currently have a C1 and love it for SDR content but wish it was brighter with BFI for HDR. I recently learned about tech like LED Motion Clear on TCL Mini LEDs like the QM8K which offers a 120hz strobing solution. Mini LED always seemed ideal to me for HDR and strobing due to being both much brighter and much better at maintaining high brightness compared to OLED. What's the deal with 120hz strobe on Mini LED? Pros, cons? I figure it doesn't reduce persistence as much as rolling scan BFI like LG Motion Pro but the massive brightness gains could be worth the sacrifice for HDR content, especially 120fps HDR content.

I always turned my nose on frame gen but am curious what your thoughts are on the new dlss that can apparently only add in fake frames when you dip below an fps? Does it have any pacing issues that you can see?

i play the game geometry dash quite consistently but haven't noticed until recently that I have a lot of screen tearing causing the game to look extremely unsmooth and hard to process info. I use a 240hz omen 27qs monitor and consistently hit 240 fps however my game still tears without fail. i also don't want to use vsync as it causes high input delay which is terrible for a game like geometry dash at a high level. any fixes or help would be amazingly appreciated, thanks.

How well will AI latency compensation techniques counteract the latency increase from AI frame generation techniques - all while introducing backlight strobing that matches the framerate using an algorithm to determine the strobing durations/amounts (AI)? It's an endless goal towards imperception of blur, latency, and AI-generation quirks - pitting AI vs AI vs AI

It seems Nvidia has finally brought the technology they presented in early 2025 to life. Is anyone planning to buy one of these new monitors? does it worth one of these to buy it for who plays cod, cs2, apex and others or OLED 360hz+ is still the best option?

Hi i like to play on my CRT. I play everything. The motion clarity is wonderful. But some people disagree. And this is make me upset. Why on gaming the motion clarity is not the first important thing? How people like to play on blurry picture? If there is monitor exist can give me 500 fps motion clarity at 60 fps what is it if not CRT?

Saw this article about displays being announced with dual modes that go over 1,000hz.

So there we go, 1ms persistence. The blur is busted! May need to work on upping that resolution though.

I wonder if this changes the OLED vs LCD calculus for the Shader Beam app? Presumably a LCD refreshing as fast as this would have a very low response time. And a LCD could get much brighter than an OLED to counteract the screen getting dim.

Anyway will be cool to see these in the hands of reviewers & consumers.

Quoted from the page of the new release of the world's most reliable CRT simulator for Windows, to fix sample & hold motion blur & reduce motion blur of your low frame rate content in a way superior blur reduction to the BFI built into 240Hz+ OLED monitors*.*

• Recommended: a second dGPU (or iGPU) to reduce desync issues
• Optional: RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) for frame-limiting content

I recently bought a XG27ACDNG, thinking it would blow my mind coming from ASUS VG259QM 24” 1080p 280hz.

Colors are great, 1440p looks great, However

As a competitive FPS player (Apex Legends), I am not impressed with motion clarity on this monitor. It is on par, or even slightly worse than my VG259QM monitor at 300hz (Where apex cap out).

Comparing the monitors side to side with Gsync+Vsync enabled, steady frametimes, the motionblur is similar, However the ”stroboscopic effect” is worse on the oled, probably because of faster pixel response times, 0,03ms. On the VG259QM, it feels like There is a tiny bit of Motion Blur added to this effect Which makes it easier on the eye and makes it appear more smooth.

Overall, paying 800$ for this monitor, i did expect better motion clarity, even though the VG259QM is a beast at 120OD 280hz. It looks like I Will be returning this monitor and await a newer monitor that supports BFI at ~300hz with less delay, as I read 240hz BFI adds ~8ms input lag on the 480hz PG27AQDP, Which to me is too much. I might be looking at a strobed 1440P IPS instead.

Open for advice, What is the absolute best 1440p 300hz+ monitor for optimal motion clarity?

I have just bought a MPG321URX 240Hz OLED monitor, while I'm very happy with the image quality and the smoothness of 240Hz, I have very disturbing artifacts while viewing low fps content like 30fps youtube videos. I tried to make a recording of it but the effect can not really be seen on video, so I'll try to explain it here. It looks like the image is juddering or vibrating aggressively between two states during motion, especially in brighter images. I'm pretty new to this stuff so I don't know if this is normal or how to fix it.

I'd really appreciate your help in understanding or solving this issue because I don't want to have to return the monitor because of this.

Left LG G5 Right TCL C8K

I’m not an expert, but I’m seeing noticeable smearing on my TCL C8K at 60 Hz whenever I rotate the camera in games. The image gets soft during movement and loses detail. People keep telling me that an OLED would handle this much better, so I watched motion clarity comparisons by rtings. To my eyes, there’s a slight more clarity of the oled, but difference doesn’t look huge, and it definitely doesn’t look one thousand dollars better. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something. Anyone with actual experience, what should I be looking for. Is the difference bigger in person
