Our New Monitor Testing Is The New Gold Standard

Love to see these improvements. Personally what I'd really like to see though, is testing whether monitors exhibit hot plug disconnect behavior since it's infuriating to deal with on a multi-display system and can be difficult to find out which models do it.

I want a T-Shirt with that image test

Presenter straight up copying the LinuxTT speaking style. Find your own lady.

Good stuff.

This is awesome. Thank you Abby and co.

Please, test Asus PA32KCX, almost 1st 8k monitor

RTings is what LTT Labs wishes it was.

You guys are catching up to the Chinese channels for level of detail in the reviews. Awesome work!

I just wonder why big gaming monitor manufacturers why does not implement strobing with with more powerful LED backlight. The overall consumption will be normal as the LEDs. For example driving 30W LEDs at 100% uses the same power as driving 300w LEDs at 10% duty cycle. Needs no extra cooling whatsoever just a bit larger power supply. Motion blur will be similar to 500Hz displays but at 60hz...

Why is the camera not on a motorized gantry? if precision is the name of the game, would it not be better to use a motor to control the speed perfectly?

Rtings: "Hey look our new shiny display testing methodology! Ain't it just awesome?"
Monitor/TV companies: excessive sweating


I hope this monitor testing is moved onto TV testing as well... Integrate it into the motion testing of TVs... To get better understanding which TVs are best for big screen gaming (since for movies specifically a lot of TVs get a pass if their color/contrast presentation is on spot (good saturation, accurate EOTF tracking, gamma etc...) as for movies each frame is shown for 41ms since movie/show FPS is 23.976 so even with 10/15ms pixel response, motion will still be pristine lol).

It's just ratings? I'm going to keep saying r tingz

Could you guys do a review on the aoc 24g4/24g4x (same panel) thanks!

Rtings is great for lots of categories but I’ll be watching closely to see if you can match the excellent TFTCentral for monitors. Thanks!

Hmmm.. boxes.. yeeees.

This is super impressive!

My question is, why is manual tracking required at all?

You could attach the camera rail to a potentiometer that would then cause the image to always be in sync with the current camera position on the screen,
Then you attach that to a stepper motor controlled belt to control the camera movement entirely hands free at a pre-defined speed.

Voilà, precise motion blur target tracking even Abby can handle.

This is so awesome, rtings! You're doing god's work on motion clarity testing, something not a lot of people even knows is a thing you should look out for! Thank you!

This is fantastic. Looking forward to the rest of the videos. I would also be interested to see a video of 2 people with different personal speed perception rates comparing notes......

It’s a crime you guys only have 37k subs with this sort of analysis. Only a matter of time before you guys get to linus levels.

Huh?

Will this test image make its way to bb so we can test our own monitors superficially at least?

Im curious how an crt would do at this test

Great work! You guys need a motion controlled slider though

interesting

Don't forget to mention that a 500hz monitor having no blur is only true when the game or content itself is running at 500FPS, which is very unlikely to happens.
BFI solves this, yet nobody really mention it.

Nerds :-D

certainly a big upgrade, but it feels more like you're catching up than taking a distant lead.

That's a good new gold standard BUT you still missing one thing that i've mentionned 2 years ago : The refresh compliance result by OSRTT Tool.
It's an interesting information that show the compliance of the screen to the actual refresh rate, you miss this thing to get your test to be perfect, please consider to include that thing too !

Anyway i've always find your previous motion blur test a little bit "lackluster", like...the VG259QM which are popular because of your test and his price, in fact this screen even at best parameters have either tr*sh motion clarity or a lot of overshoot, that can't be seen properly on your previous test.

And like you said, it was the same story for a lot of screen that you have tested (ex: Zowie XL2566K Aka the perfect motion clarity with DyAc while it's not true at all in real test condition like games at 360fps lock constantly ofc) so when people's in the past say to me that i'm crazy/a liar about that, i can now see that in reality I was just right.

Glad your motion clarity test will finally be good !

LTT Lab is a "we have RTINGS at home" meme lol

Dell ultrasharp u4025 and samsung g9 57" ETA?

Now imagine if they tested more than 5 monitors each year so their website would actually be useful.

there is no way you cannot automatically have a camera rig set up to pan along in sync with the pursuit photo, get some engineers on that.

Is it possible to download this photo somewhere?

How come some "gamer" 240Hz displays do worse in input lag at 60Hz than a ProArt display with 60Hz cap? There's also some monitors capable of <3ms input lag at max refresh rate, that suddenly go aboven 16ms at 60Hz. That's twice as slow as the fastest 60Hz display...

The improvements on overdrive testing alone are amazing. I have a Samsung Q80T and gaming at 120Hz in gaming nose mode in unusable due to how strong the overdrive is - something I would've liked to know before getting it to game at 120Hz.

Thanks, Abby!
What a fantastic update to your testing methodology.
Between you guys and your peers at monitors unboxed, we have some amazing information on monitors and televisions now.
I really appreciate all the effort you all put into your data. And I really enjoy you as a host. You seem to actually understand your data, and you have a great personality.
This is quality content.
Thanks again, guys! I look forward to the next one.
In fact, idk how I missed this one bc I keep notified about this channel.

i always go to rtings for monitor/tv reviews. you guys are the pros!

Abbey is awesome, she balances enthusiasm and watchability. we have all seen boring tech videos, but we have also seen over-enthusiastic cringe fests. You can also tell she's an absolute nerd and loves what she does. Rtings will continue to be my go-to for data-driven purchase decisions.

Stay Rad

Is there a big noticeable difference between the LG C3 and LG G3?

The 77" C3 costs $1900 rn and the 77" G3 is $3800 USD. There's no way the 2×$ is justified, right..?

The 65" G4 is $950 more than the 77" C3. Is it worth it to spend an extra grand on a little smaller G4 instead of the C3?

inverce ghosting is most wanted hate

AWESOME, CAN U ADD THESE TESTS TO ALL 500HZ MONITORS PLS I WANNA COMPARE

What an amazing channel! A great find!

This channel is my next intellectual challenge! Understanding everything’s going to be allot of fun. Love it!

Very interesting and shows the most obvious Hz refresh rate isn't telling the full story.
