I agree that the blur smooths it out a fair amount, but it still there, especially on panning shots. They really should get away from this format and make movies at a high frame rate.
Yeah, you noticed too.
I used to have one of those monitors. And if the computer drops a few frames, it's not half as noticeable, is it?
I agree on both counts, the movies really make my eyes go "WHAT?" on panning shots or fast action scenes. And about my 120hz monitor, I am often content with 90fps that I can SEE, especially at super quality settings, and I notice that I am often unsatisfied and start looking to diminish my quality settings when things slow down to... About 60 fps.
I certainly am looking forward to enjoying BF3 and Skyrim at 100+fps silky smoothness.
Oh, another thing I noticed: My wife games on the 40" HDTV downstairs (yes my wife is a gamer, be jealous) and 60fps looks good. But then again, that's seeing it from a much further distance than we generally look at our monitors from, so I guess that also makes a difference, and some sense if you think of it as the visual distance between frames. At the movies it is often simply too huge, no matter that you sit far away from the screen, due to its size, and so in my living room a compromise is made, but in front of a monitor, it's another ball game entirely. Hopefully this last paragraph makes some sense....
