I could ask you, “Why is it accurate?” I don’t know, how do you test it?
If we are talking about a laptop, I guess you hook up a CRT to the VGA output. Lets say the LCD on the laptop lags behind the CRT, but why does it lag? Is it because of the screen? Is it because of the video card? Is it something else? I don’t know, I don’t know any way to test it.
If we are talking about a desktop, I guess you could hook up two CRTs to it and test the lag between the two, but who the f@ck has two CRTs floating around and lets say one person tests it, and gets good results. That does not mean that when you do the same test you will get the same results.
By running the output of the computer through a splitter I can eliminate all that headache and doubt. You might wonder if one port on the splitter is faster than the other, but I can easily test for that, by switching ports and running the test again.
I can’t claim that clone mode is, or is not accurate, but I do believe that it could cause issues, and is a variable I can easily eliminate. Since I don’t have a CRT to test with, I am already testing off an assumption that the Evo monitor is lag free, so I’m just trying to make the tests as reliable and controlled as possible.:wgrin:
So in about a month ima buy a tv, Anyone have any recommendations? Im working on about a 900$ budget, Can probably stretch it out about 200$ more. Im looking for something in the 37-42" area, With as little lag as possible. A coworker has one that showed as little lag as I could see, Anyone know what model samsung that would be?
The most important variable you miss out on however is HDMI connection testing. It’s fine if you’re running a VGA connection to your 360, but doesn’t test HDMI, probably the most commonly used connection these days. Sounds stupid, but given the tendency for TVs to force a whole lot of post processing on the HDMI and not the VGA it’s worth noting.
Not that I would think a budget brand monitor like this would really be affected. If it can upscale 720p as well as the Evo monitor then it should satisfy anyone wanting something slightly larger than that.
I have a question. in the next few weeks i will be purchasing a LG w2753v-PF 27 and was wondering if using this dvi to component would help out with any lag from a ps2 or should i just stick with the hd box pro.
HDMI is not a variable in my testing, it is a whole other test unto itself. It is a test that I don’t have the equipment to perform. The best I can do is, pick up a Rock Band 2 guitar with the sensor in it, and do a test that way. I will see if I can find a used one at a nearby EB.
That converter is going the wrong way. You want a converter that takes component as an input and outputs DVI, I assume. That converter does the exact opposite.
If you don’t have the money for an XRGB, I highly recommend the HD Box Pro. It does have some issues, but it works well, and induces very little lag.
Also, I was looking at the same monitor before I bought the Hannspree. Beware that it does not accept wall mounts, you must use the stand that it comes with. Otherwise it looked like a great monitor, post up some tests after you get it.
The result looks fine. One of those photos looks like your monitor is actually slightly ahead of your CRT. Your CRT refresh might be low though. I’d call it lagless for our purposes if it performs as well in 720p.
Sorry to just drop in but i need some advice. I’m after a monitor (really only for SFIV, general PS3 usage). Since Evo used an Asus monitor i thought that would be a good starting block.
I cannot buy the Asus VH236H from anywhere reputable in UK. My only option is to find a similar spec Asus i thought. The only thing i could find was the Asus VH226H, which i can buy in UK. The only difference i could see was the VH236H has a 20,000:1 contrast ratio while the VH226H has 12,000:1.
Is it a good choice to opt for the VH226H? I could not find any information on input lag.
Not quite the same monitor… VH226H is the 21.5" and VH266H is the 25.5"… fail model numbers.
IrnBru: My friend uses the monitor your looking at for Blazblue at our ranbats and it looks fine. Contrast ratios numbers are almost as bullshit as input lag, thankfully there is an easy way to get around it. Look at the monitor on display somewhere.
This is a TN panel, that means viewing angles are worse than other panel technologies, but with less input lag compared to S-PVA panels.
Thinking of getting the E2400HD, with minimal input lag. Any suggestions if i should or should not buy it? Are they any other better monitors out there?
I got a benq2400hd and also work with an HP LP3065.
Multiple forums have tested the benq vs a crt monitor and it seem to be the same as the evo asus monitor in terms of lag(0 or less than 1 frame of lag).
LP3065 has more lag and the aspect ratio is 16:10…but not too bad for a 30" monitor.
Im running the lag test from http://tft.vanity.dk/inputlag.html and I’m not seeing a difference after I take a picture with my camera. I have to test running on my KDL46V5100 and my roommates HP 19inch LCD Moniter. Its a HP so I dunno if the visual latency is either as bad as my tv, or they’re both good.
Yet when I play SFIV, I see myself doing a jump in - only to have my friend grab me (he’s playing on a CRT). He’s literaly ground throwing me out of a jump in (LP+LK, no commands) and he says on his TV my character is already on the ground, while I see myself in the air and then directly being thrown.
Pretty much gives him free throws everytime, so I don’t jump in at all. I can’t see what’s he seeing, I’m wondering if it’s either net lag or visual lag. At this point, I’m leaning towards net lag killing it for me. I dunno - has anyone else experienced thsi?
