Screen for Gaming

zolly, I'm glad we seem to be on the same page here.

So 1920x1080p will be capable of fps of 48/50/60 hz (or fps) which sounds about right, at least in terms of TVs.

Now, SharkBait says the his experience with HDMI→HDMI, on PC LCD let alone LCD TV, was bad. His reasoning is because 1080p over HDMI is limited to 24fps.

I called bs from the start. I take it you do, as well.
 
It still is not clear to me.

Let's make this basic.

You say PC use/gaming was bad on your T260 when using gfx HDMI to T260 HDMI. Yes? Your reasoning for this, is because you say you were limited to 24FPS. Yes?

So tell me. If I was to connect my LA32C550 LCD TV's HDMI to my other PC with HD6850 that has HDMI out, you're saying I would be limited to 24FPS? Please confirm.

According to that wiki quote and without looking into the specs myself, because frankly I couldn't be bothered to right now, you're limited to 24fps at 4096 × 2160p, which is a hell of a lot higher than 1080p. This makes sense in that the HDMI standard is digital without an infinite amount of bandwidth and that amount sounds about right. It also explains why one would need 2 DVI connections in order to drive highend 30" displays running at very high resolutions.

So are you saying SharkBait is correct or incorrect, as per this thread?
 
Thanks for your input.

Settled.

Although interested to hear what SharkBait thinks...

Perhaps his T260 is faulty ?

It could also be due to a faulty cable or connector, which is the more likely cause in my opinion. Noise on the line could cause display issues.

Nope, I never said that. But test it for us, cause I don't care. Connection your lcd screen/tv to your pc via HDMI. In blops, or whatever game, set it to sync every frame. Now check your frame rate and report back?

I have other reasons for not using the HDMI cable.
 
you said that playing games over HDMI sucks, you've tried it.

when challenged on this you then provided info on what appears to be your understanding of a limitation on HDMI, and this limitation is your response to someone questioning you on why you think playing games over HDMI sucks.

It seems that you are not really aware as to why playing games over HDMI hasnt worked for you, and now, you also have "other reasons" for not using HDMI. But you dont state what those are.

Man - i feel like i have utterly wasted my time reading your posts.

I've played games at 1080p over HDMI, and it rocks.
 
First of all, I wasn't talking to you guys... Can you see that I quoted Slaughter there? He is one of my mates...

Secondly, I didn't say there is a 24fps limit or whatever on HDMI, I was merely quoting tomshardware.

My reason, when you restart, the screen "searches" for a source, when you go into a game, it does the same and bla bla bla. When I tried it, it was maybe 2 years ago, there might have been driver problems or whatever... I haven't tried since, cause there is no reason to. The graphics wont look better, you won't get more fps...

It seems the both of you are just here to flame other people all day long. :mad:
 
first of all you are on a public forum, posting nonsense that has the potential to derail this thread, or just confuse people reading it.

Secondly, you never said that 24fps was the reason that gaming over HDMI sux, right. When asked why you think it sux, you simply posted a link from another site that specifically spoke about 24fps not being good enough for gamers.

So further to point two you have:
a) Confused, again, another forum member, because he associates the article you posted in response to his question, as your reason for your prior statement, which you claim it actually isnt - are you following this?
b) totally ommited that the article in question relates to 3D screens.

Seems like you're not really understanding the standards in place for 3D and non-3D screens, resolutions, etc. And thats ok - because this is a murky topic that not many of us understand very well at all.

Whats not really ok, is you using your lack of understanding to mislead and confuse others. Rather just shut up, imo. or send your mates a PM.

From what I understand, the very first HDMI standard was capable of running at 1920x1200 at 60fps at True Color (24 bits). HDMI 1.3 could do 2560x1600 at 60fps at 30-bit color depth. So it becomes clear that playing games over HDMI should not suck, or be the reason for any graphical problems. Currently, you can play games in 3D on a 3D monitor at 1080p and 24fps. This is to say that playing games in 3D at Full-HD, might not be totally awesome. There is no 24fps limitation on playing games normally, like the majority of the world does at this very point in time.

Where did I get this info? From the wiki link you posted, but obviously didnt read entirely. If anyone is able to critically think about and respond to my interpretations of the available information, then that would be welcomed. I also encourage you, Shark, to read a bit more critically before posting waffle.

Sorry to hear about your weird screen issues when using HDMI. They are certainly not normal in my experience.
