ASUS VG278HE Monitor Packs 144 Hz Panel

I don't think there's a difference between 120hz 3D and 120hz non-3D - I think it's the 120hz part that makes it 3D-compatible (and maybe some doohicky to converse with the glasses about which eye it's showing).

there is. 3D monitors often take a 60Hz input, split it into 30FPS per eye, then double them.
so you really only get 30FPS per eye, and its craptastic.



true 120Hz monitors (of which some or many are 3D capable as well) actually allow you to set a 120Hz refresh rate in windows. HDTV's are the worst offenders for 60Hz inputs, while they advertise higher.
 
Have you taken to account of demand and yield issues?

The problem isn't demand it's that companies just assume it won't be a significant selling point. Considering the ones that could manage it carried a very slight premium then even if the proper engineering doubled the circuit board cost it still would be a small price increase. The massive response/smoothness boost will offset the $20 cost increase. Even people who don't get it are conditioned to know 120 Hz = good from TV specs. It's prime time to capitalize on that.

In which case you should write to the marketing dept of (insert display manufacturer here).

While we wait, I suggest you to get one of these great products:

Yeah, why 16:9 it's yesterdays product line news only true res is 16:10.
 
16:10 is dead. why wont people get over it.

Its a cool thing to do, just like bashing *insert a product/company/thing here*.
 
Lol it's not dead you can find 30" inch 16:10 monitors all over. :rolleyes:

Just because you can still buy i5 750 does not mean LGA1155 is not dead :shadedshu

Its on its way out, except for specialist applications (which uses 1440/1600 now anyway)
 
yeah the yamasaki catleaps are the bigboy of LCD's at the moment.
