00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:06.799
normally I wouldn't have thought to make a video explaining refresh rate but a

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:08.840
couple of days ago a gift of me I I

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

00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:19.240
to vomit after using a monitor running at 30 HZ front paged imer thanks to a

00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:20.800
post on r/ PC Master Race by IP charger

00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:25.080
this alone wouldn't have Justified the creation of this video but some of the

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:29.560
discussion that went on under the posts showed me that y'all need something to

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

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:38.640
refresh rate of a display is the number of times per second measured in hertz

00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:43.480
that your display will update with new information the benefits are simple with

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:48.079
older CRT tube monitors having a high refresh rate was critical because it

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:52.879
reduced perceptible flickering and improved user Comfort but because modern

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.399
LCD and OLED displays don't work quite the same way the big remaining benefit

00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:01.559
is that as long as the source material is running at a high enough frame rate

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:06.119
your will receive more updates per second resulting in a smoother moving

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:10.520
image kind of like what you're looking at right now the drawbacks are a bit

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.680
more complicated to send more images per second we need to send more data which

00:01:12.479 --> 00:01:19.040
means faster interconnects and higher quality cable Solutions but there's more

00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:23.600
for video capture and creation we need faster processors and more storage space

00:01:21.479 --> 00:01:28.360
to work with high frame rate content and for gaming we need much more powerful

00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:32.840
graphics cards to even render the scene fast enough to get any benefit

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:36.720
otherwise the high refresh rate display will simply display the same image over

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

00:01:39.360 --> 00:01:45.960
human eye can see a maximum of 24 frames per second anyway otherwise how would

00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:52.040
movies look smooth they run at 24 frames per second movies look smooth because

00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:57.000
motion blur gives that miraculous brain of yours the hints it needs to fill in

00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:01.439
the gaps not because your eyes can't perform any better well hold on lonus my

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:07.320
game support motion blur too same difference right no not at all in games

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

00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:15.959
camera sensor or film strip it looks unnatural and on top of that it adds

00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:20.480
more latency between the input of the user and the action showing up on screen

00:02:18.519 --> 00:02:25.280
which makes the controls feel less responsive another factor that affects

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.840
the perceived smoothness of an image especially an interactive one but you

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

00:02:30.959 --> 00:02:37.560
from 2001 like back when the internet was text that addressed this issue

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:42.200
pretty well I thought the way your eyes work is much more complicated than

00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:46.800
frames per second they're designed to perceive motion changes in light levels

00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:51.120
and even certain colors better than others and further complicating matters

00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:56.360
sensitivity will vary from person to person so really measuring the

00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.480
performance of eyes in images per second

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

00:03:01.760 --> 00:03:07.159
rupees okay fine but the point is that

00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:12.120
representing the real world limit isn't just as simple as one number and we

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

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

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:24.040
or 30 or even 60 if that were true then

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:27.840
surely no one would have noticed that the high frame rate 48 FPS version of

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:33.480
The Hobbit looked weirdly smooth then right also this trick I easily picked

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

00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:42.239
impossible also those 960 HZ clear

00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:45.519
motion TVs at the store would be snake oil then I okay well those actually are

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:49.680
kind of snake oil they're using predictive algorithms to make like Foo

00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:52.599
tweener frames and then playing around with backlight refresh tricks to

00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:57.879
increase the refresh rate that you perceive but it still reinforces my

00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:00.680
point that your eyes aren't that simple

00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:04.720
don't fight it while filmm and Cinema goers still need to work with each other

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:10.439
to figure out the best format for their future for gamers we need to all be

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:12.239
United under one banner and ask for more

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

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.720
30 FPS because if it was this image wouldn't offend anyone since they

00:04:18.799 --> 00:04:23.880
probably wouldn't see it thanks for watching guys I hope you learned
