00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,799
normally I wouldn't have thought to make a video explaining refresh rate but a

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,840
couple of days ago a gift of me I I

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:12,719
don't care I'll say however I want a gif of me pretending to rush to the bathroom

4
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:19,240
to vomit after using a monitor running at 30 HZ front paged imer thanks to a

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,800
post on r/ PC Master Race by IP charger

6
00:00:19,240 --> 00:00:25,080
this alone wouldn't have Justified the creation of this video but some of the

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:29,560
discussion that went on under the posts showed me that y'all need something to

8
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:34,079
point at when people are all like oh 30 HZ is all we need so here we go the

9
00:00:32,079 --> 00:00:38,640
refresh rate of a display is the number of times per second measured in hertz

10
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:43,480
that your display will update with new information the benefits are simple with

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:48,079
older CRT tube monitors having a high refresh rate was critical because it

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:52,879
reduced perceptible flickering and improved user Comfort but because modern

13
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:57,399
LCD and OLED displays don't work quite the same way the big remaining benefit

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:01,559
is that as long as the source material is running at a high enough frame rate

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:06,119
your will receive more updates per second resulting in a smoother moving

16
00:01:04,559 --> 00:01:10,520
image kind of like what you're looking at right now the drawbacks are a bit

17
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:14,680
more complicated to send more images per second we need to send more data which

18
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,040
means faster interconnects and higher quality cable Solutions but there's more

19
00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:23,600
for video capture and creation we need faster processors and more storage space

20
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:28,360
to work with high frame rate content and for gaming we need much more powerful

21
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:32,840
graphics cards to even render the scene fast enough to get any benefit

22
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,720
otherwise the high refresh rate display will simply display the same image over

23
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,840
and over as long as it's waiting for a new one who cares lonus I heard that the

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:45,960
human eye can see a maximum of 24 frames per second anyway otherwise how would

25
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:52,040
movies look smooth they run at 24 frames per second movies look smooth because

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:57,000
motion blur gives that miraculous brain of yours the hints it needs to fill in

27
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,439
the gaps not because your eyes can't perform any better well hold on lonus my

28
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:07,320
game support motion blur too same difference right no not at all in games

29
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:11,360
motion blur is not a natural side effect of the way that light is captured by a

30
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,959
camera sensor or film strip it looks unnatural and on top of that it adds

31
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:20,480
more latency between the input of the user and the action showing up on screen

32
00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:25,280
which makes the controls feel less responsive another factor that affects

33
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,840
the perceived smoothness of an image especially an interactive one but you

34
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:33,319
don't need to take my word for it it isn't new information here's an article

35
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,560
from 2001 like back when the internet was text that addressed this issue

36
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:42,200
pretty well I thought the way your eyes work is much more complicated than

37
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:46,800
frames per second they're designed to perceive motion changes in light levels

38
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:51,120
and even certain colors better than others and further complicating matters

39
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:56,360
sensitivity will vary from person to person so really measuring the

40
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,480
performance of eyes in images per second

41
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:05,120
is about like measuring the tastiness of a bowl of craft dinner in I don't know

42
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:07,159
rupees okay fine but the point is that

43
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:12,120
representing the real world limit isn't just as simple as one number and we

44
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:16,959
plain don't know how to quantify it in simple terms what we do know however is

45
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:22,480
that if it was a simple number it sure as heck wouldn't be 24 frames per second

46
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,040
or 30 or even 60 if that were true then

47
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,840
surely no one would have noticed that the high frame rate 48 FPS version of

48
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:33,480
The Hobbit looked weirdly smooth then right also this trick I easily picked

49
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:40,080
out a 120 HZ monitor versus a 60 HZ monitor 100% of the time would have been

50
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:42,239
impossible also those 960 HZ clear

51
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,519
motion TVs at the store would be snake oil then I okay well those actually are

52
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:49,680
kind of snake oil they're using predictive algorithms to make like Foo

53
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,599
tweener frames and then playing around with backlight refresh tricks to

54
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:57,879
increase the refresh rate that you perceive but it still reinforces my

55
00:03:54,720 --> 00:04:00,680
point that your eyes aren't that simple

56
00:03:57,879 --> 00:04:04,720
don't fight it while filmm and Cinema goers still need to work with each other

57
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:10,439
to figure out the best format for their future for gamers we need to all be

58
00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:12,239
United under one banner and ask for more

59
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:17,199
until we reach the upper limits of what we can perceive and it sure isn't 24 or

60
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:20,720
30 FPS because if it was this image wouldn't offend anyone since they

61
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:23,880
probably wouldn't see it thanks for watching guys I hope you learned
