Human eye can see at around 65 Hz. --- End quote --- My 21" CRTs were manufactured in 2001 and still kicking. I think 85hz is fine. :D |

torez, on a completely different note, I notice that you are the Omega Race champ. I just got a machine (in excellent shape!), so I might have to bug you for pointers at some point since I suck even worse than I did when I was a kid. :) |

whats the biggest factor for you? authenticity? cost? ease of install? a 19"VGA monitor would prolly be the easiest and least expensive |

There is an old study on precisely that subject dating back to sometime around WWII. As near as I can tell, that field of science has gone virtually untouched since the 40's or thereabouts. On a CRT (or even an LCD), there are other factors to consider of course, persistence, film (or game) image quality, transition, etc. But the gist remains the same, human eye has a much higher perception, recognition and (with the brain) retention than anyone wishes to give it credit for. |

I've noticed that with framerate, it REALLY pulls interesting tricks on the human mind. Uhh most films are 24fps and look totally awesome and 'real'. I recall putting Blackhawk Down through a 60fps interpolator program in PowerDVD or WinDVD, I forget which. Suddenly BAM, that 'real looking movie' the movement all felt super smooth in a cheap way, like that feeling you get watching handicam footage on Cops or something. My friend even remarked "Wow it's like it turned it into Cops: Mogadishu' somehow!" That's similar to why camcorders often have that 'camcorder feel' to the movement on screen. Cause you're looking at true interlaced 60hz while film, evne for TV is telecined 24fps. |
