23' 120hz IPS monitor

[rintamarotta]

Im running 30" HP ZR30W S-IPS on my primary machine, 3 x 24" LG with TN-panel on my 2nd machine and on 3rd machine i have 24" ZR24W screen, and then is the htpc but thats whole different thing.

I use S-IPS on everything else exept FPS games where i use 3 x 24" TN screens due faster responce time and allmost zero input lag.

S-IPS have bit better image quality but while gaming it is not noticeable.

Id like to try one of those LED 120Hz TN and IPS screens and compare but i have litle or no use for it than just testing.

5.5ms = 181 fps, so i assume this can easily do it

Thats 5.5 GtG wont do, it needs be at least 8.3 B2B so its truly 120Hz panel and 240Hz panel would require 4.16ms B2B.
Short answer no. Long answer not with current panels, B2B tend to be at least around 10ms.
But TN panels, oh my theyre doing 4-5ms B2B (capable of 200-240Hz).

xactly! didnt know there are 4-5ms b2b tn panels... thats insane!
i did see 200-240hz tn demos at the display and led show after computex 2 years ago, and they looked awesome... i dont think they interpolated anything, it was incredibly sharp... they were running 40"+ demos with old chinese scrolls being pulled in front of the camera from left to right.
on the 200-240hz demos you could see every fine detail and there was 0 ghosting... no blur either... if that was interpolation im impressed...

anyways, when i asked them when i can buy one they said it depends on the display makers, as they only produce the panels... they told me display makers probably wont pick it up as its too expensive, even for premium tvs, and that they will wait until its cheaper, which will probably be 2013/2014... sigh...

until then 3d will suck it seems... :/

btw, i tried a samsung 40"+ 3d tv demo last weekend... the ghosting was terrible... i thought there was something wrong with the glasses, but then i realized each eye was seeing a blurry impression of the other eyes frames cause the response time was that bad...

this kind of 3d ghosting is way worse than any ghosting ive seen on 2d displays so far...

To bad...

Guess it's same reason why others can be satisfied with an entry level VGA, an integrated sound card or a pair of 10$ Headset which does work - as in, you get image and sound but some want better quality and so on...

Don't really care if it's IPS or other panel with similar potential... but I was never satisified with TN, when switch from CRT to TN models, tried 7 of them and eventually end-up with one that had a *VA panel which, which was the only one I could consider "decent"... After broking it, switched to e-IPS which has some advantages - but not as good when it comes to black level and viewing angles, yet still x times better than a TN.

what kind of games do you play?
you dont notice any probs?

All kinds if they're good, mostly RPG and some RTS...

- the other model (HP LP1965) - which was based on P-MVA panel, had a little input lag and some ghosting but the black level and viewing angles were as close as possible to an CRT.

- the new model (LG W2220P) - which is based on e-IPS panel, has no noticeable input Lang and no ghosting, which is a bonus for FPS games - yet the black levels are not his strong point (IPS glow related) and the viewing angles are pretty good but not as good as with the other one or a CRT. And also, the color reproductions - is better on this one...

....compared to TN's - well, there's no room for comparison... since games or one thing, but I also use this monitor for movies, some editing and so on... Yet, it's true this is not good for 3D movies, but I'm not that desperate for 3D to watch it on a monitor with TN panel... And when I said games or one thing, didn't mean it's not as capable as a fast TN:

LG W2220P vs. Asus VG236H

... was refereeing to a TN which beyond FPS games, on which you stay focused on the screen like a statue, the other games and watching a movie could be more enjoyable on the model from LG (for my standards at least - don't play FPS like CS 1.6 anymore, which was optimized with 90 FPS in mind for smoother game-play, wile new shooters work great even at 30+ FPS and nor room for complaining at 60 FPS).
