HZ front paged imer thanks to a post on r/ PC Master Race by IP charger this alone wouldn't have Justified the creation of this video but some of the discussion that went on under the posts showed me that y'all need something to point at when people are all like oh 30 HZ is all we need so here we go the refresh rate of a display is the number of times per second measured in hertz that your display will update with new information the benefits are simple with older CRT tube monitors having a high refresh rate was critical because it reduced perceptible flickering and improved user Comfort but because modern LCD and OLED displays don't work quite the same way the big remaining benefit is that as long as the source material is running at a high enough frame rate your will receive more updates per second resulting in a smoother moving image kind of like what you're looking at right now the drawbacks are a bit more complicated to send more images per second we need to send more data which means faster interconnects and higher quality cable Solutions but there's more for video capture and creation we need faster processors and more storage space to work with high frame rate content and for gaming we need much more powerful graphics cards to even render the scene fast enough to get any benefit otherwise the high refresh rate display will simply display the same image over and over as long as it's waiting for a new one who cares lonus I heard that the human eye can see a maximum of 24 frames per second anyway otherwise how would movies look smooth they run at 24 frames per second movies look smooth because motion blur gives that miraculous brain of yours the hints it needs to fill in the gaps not because your eyes can't perform any better well hold on lonus my game support motion blur too same difference right no not at all in games motion blur is not a natural side effect of the way that light is captured by a camera sensor or film strip it looks unnatural and on top of that it adds more latency between the input of the user and the action showing up on screen which makes the controls feel less responsive another factor that affects the perceived smoothness of an image especially an interactive one but you don't need to take my word for it it isn't new information here's an article from 2001 like back when the internet was text that addressed this issue pretty well I thought the way your eyes work is much more complicated than frames per second they're designed to perceive motion changes in light levels and even certain colors better than others and further complicating matters sensitivity will vary from person to person so really measuring the performance of eyes in images per second is about like measuring the tastiness of a bowl of craft dinner in I don't know rupees okay fine but the point is that representing the real world limit isn't just as simple as one number and we plain don't know how to quantify it in simple terms what we do know however is that if it was a simple number it sure as heck wouldn't be 24 frames per second or 30 or even 60 if that were true then surely no one would have noticed that the high frame rate 48 FPS version of The Hobbit looked weirdly smooth then right also this trick I easily picked out a 120 HZ monitor versus a 60 HZ monitor 100% of the time would have been impossible also those 960 HZ clear motion TVs at the store would be snake oil then I okay well those actually are kind of snake oil they're using predictive algorithms to make like Foo tweener frames and then playing around with backlight refresh tricks to increase the refresh rate that you perceive but it still reinforces my point that your eyes aren't that simple don't fight it while filmm and Cinema goers still need to
