I have some pictures incoming for you and at 100hz it is skipping frames and at 85 hz its not so bad but i think still present.

the last 2 pics are at 85hz others are at 100hz, will this be a problem when gaming at these settings?

ps i now have this monitor too.

that's some bad frame skipping lolz. go to 75hz and check. my dell u2913wm drops frames past 75hz

if you don't notice anything in games, then you can use that frequency, but i bet you will notice some jitters and whatnot.
 
85hz

74 if i want no frame skipping, will test in BF4 to see how smooth it doed or doesnt feel, i know at 60hz i can see the difference going from 120/144hz.

100hz

feels a lot smoother in game when playing BF4 and i cant see any skipping with my eyes even though the test shows it is doing.

Can anyone recommend a good software to test for dead pixels on a ips monitor? Iv never tested my LG, and Iv always wanted to give it a test

If you can't notice it, I think it'd best just don't test it. Because if you ran the test and it tells you there are dead pixels, it will make you feel bad psychologically, even if visually you can't see it when you try hard to find it with you bare eyes.

That's true, I'm already very pleased with this panel :)
 
Yeah, don't test it if you are happy.

Unfortunately I started using an app some time ago for testing and it's the first thing I do... I say unfortunately, as there are probably screens I would not have noticed the problem had I not tested :)
 
got 120hz pretty easily with this monitor, it does concern me how long it would be before potential damage if any would occur to the screen, but in BF4 its a noticeable improvement over even 75hz, More smooth.


It does show frame skipping going by the test, but i cant see it when testing on the test range in BF4.

I've been keeping an eye on these screens for a while now, and I'm getting more and more tempted.

Problem is I'm running 2x 7970s and whilst I think they'll have sufficient grunt to run the display I need to use display port as they're only single link DVI cards.

Any recommendations?

edit - actually it looks like the AOC could be a winner...

my 120hz is via the display port connection if that helps.
 
;)

just remember @120hz and 3440x1440 res`s you will need to enter service menu then toggle product mode from off to on then exit service menu ;)
then set your panels monitor settings then leave alone and use :)

everything will work and you will get no input not support messages poping up...
its a small price to pay for 100-120hz and 3440x1440 res for games.

just remember if you manually power off the panel you will have to do it all again
but there are work arounds like putting your panel to sleep instead of turning it off that way you don't need to touch it and it will still work
and also if you want to change any of the menu settings after doing the fix make sure your in a resolution and refresh rate that the monitor supports before pressing the monitors menu buttons to do changes ect ect....


though i might have a permanent fix soon.... im trying to figure out a way to rip out the monitors EDID and modify it then reflash ;)

EDIT: update ok guys well for those that are on a mission lol
here is the link to a guide http://blog.komeil.com/2008/06/fixing-edid-dvi-monitors-no-signal.html
tells you the basic steps to overwrite your edid, using powerstrip the problem is im stuck lol the program requires you guy it to get edid pin number thats specific to pc hardware its running on so before i jump in $29 dollars in i need to know this will work.... ok who is gonna be the guinea pig :D

Woah mighty impressive 120hz on the Dell or AOC? And at 3440x1440? Seriously? How can you manage to get the res to 3440x1440 and get it to handle even 100hz?


Also what improves with running that res? Do the pixels get smaller? More on screen? I thought you needed native support for the res to get the better ppi and such? Little confused here :)
 
AOC model here.

120hz frame skip test, 4 pictures of the test for you.





I cant see the skipping with my eyes but i can see how much smoother the games are at 120 hz vs 60 hz.

EDIT: this is at 2560:1080, i havent tried the 3440x1440.
 
Been playing around a lot and getting a much better understanding of monitor refresh rates (hz) and fps.
I have set the AOC to 72hz which does a few things for me. This stops the input not supported message and so stops the need to have to go into the service menu to disable the warning message.
This is also the most hz i can get without frame skipping happening, now i have been playing around and found at 72hz in BF4 with vsync off which give a FPS of around a 100 in the test range on average, i get a not so smooth feel to it, like blur or slowness.
Now with vsync on at 72hz in BF4 this locks the FPS to 72 (never drops below) and the game feels much much more smooth, glides around in the chopper and is clearer in view.

The strange thing is at 120hz with vsync off its smooth, but at 72hz with it on its as smooth if not clearer and smoother. So Vsync in my limited usage and experience makes the game better with the hz lower and there for locked at 72hz.

Not having to mess around with setting the monitor to not show the unsupported message and having a loss of DP connection this morning forced me to learn more and i prefer it as i have it set at present, less messing about more fluidity :)

Hope this makes sense, essentially frame skipping is easily seen if you turn vsync off and then on at 72hz, at 60hz and vsync off it feels much less smooth than at 60hz with vsync on.

72hz frame skipping test

Should also say im now using 14.1 betas and testing mantle api

Monitors are weird my old Dell 2007WFP does 63HZ with frame skipping but if i restart and reset it i can have 63fps vsynced with no frame skipping figure that one out. The next reboot it will frame skip awfully so much the cursor even with sync is not smooth ;)


You will get worn down by it eventually nice to test with but not practical at all. I think people with 72-75HZ and no skipping should probably just call it a day and be happy. Whats this about 60HZ frame skipping though? Surely not at 60HZ is that a typo?

oops yes typo, and i read it twice lol
Ultimately im happier with it at 72hz and vsync on :)
