SAMSUNG Offers Two-Millisecond Response Time LCD Monitors
- Thread starter rpm
- Start date
quote: " Samsung managed to reduce the response times ........by using a device it calls the "response time accelerator," or RTA. However, the RTA only improves response times for changes that are close together in the light and color range. This essentially means that large color changes, or intensity changes, continue to function at higher response times. Represenatives from Samsung informed us that these changes were comparably rare, as most changes take place within a close range. For example, in a game like Doom 3, as you pan across the room with your mouse, most pixels will be changing from one dark color to another, and these pixels will fire at an 2ms response time. However, the region where the beam of a flashlight meets darkness will suffer in performance. /quote
so, perhaps it should be an "average" response of 5ms....then, in a few short months, the monitor guys will take a leaf from the printer cartridge guys and start quoting specs like "most users will experience 16ppm^^^^^3ms response times"
quote: "The little pixel takes "so long" to change from full black to full white. Any real decrease in this time is more likely due to choice words and specific marketing blurb rather than a substantial increase in available technology" - Werner, 2006.
the response times used to be a measure of how long it takes to go from full black to full white....
then "they" changed the specs to say 80% black to 80% white.
now, in 2006, it seems ok to quote response time as being "changing from one shade to another"
oh, my heartiest congratulations in managing to change the spec and once again bullsh1t the consumer even more.

Lol i fully agree with you werner, although with an LCD monitor (especially Samsung), you can expect a response time from black to white more in the region of 12 - 25 ms (Ofcourse monitors like Viewsonice would have better black to white response times, but they don't lie to you about it).
Basically, this increases the average of the response time drastically. Also, with most, if not all the quoted 'under 5ms response time' monitors, the response time is calculated from grey to grey, which is exactly what you've explained above.
So all-in-all if you find a monitor quoted with under 5ms response time, eye it with just a little bit of scepticism...

The problem is that every company has a different definition of "Response Time" Until a someone comes out with a specific a universal standard that has to be used, companies will/can say whatever they want. That's why I like the reviews on Toms Hardware Guide (www.tomshardware.com) for LCD monitors. They use one testing method to determine the actual Response Time. It's very interesting to see what the actual response times are.
