Why isn't backlight strobing standard on all flat panels yet if it helps narrow the gap to CRTs in motion clarity?Using a professional LCD panel with its input lag and blurry movement feels horrible compared to the tube even with simple task like clicking on menus.
>>106995063Seems to me most newer monitors are offering it in some form or other now
>>106995063Bad comparison when the CRT is at 60 Hz
why not just driver-level BFI, so any high refresh monitor could benefit
>>106995105I heard that it's because the strobing takes much longer than it does on a CRT, that's why it still looks blurrier.
>>106995063It kind of is on gaming monitors, although the implementation 95% of the time is useless garbage. Only a few LCD monitors let you strobe at 60hz for example.>>106995272"Black frame insertion", BFI, isn't supposed to be thought about literally. You don't actually blank a real frame or something idiotic like that. It's a hardware feature, where (on LCDs) the backlight itself is turned off most of the time, and only flashed for a millisecond or two to reduce or eliminate sample&hold motion blur, emulating CRT-grade motion clarity, by mimicking what a CRT does.>>106995105It doesn't matter, it'll look perfectly clear at any refresh rate.
>>106995966>by mimicking what a CRT does.CRTs do this every time they refresh though don't they?
>>106997321Yes so do BFI LCDs, hopefully. When the LCD finishes drawing a frame, it turns on the backlight very briefly.There are some LCDs that flash the backlight more than once a frame, and those look horrible, it creates double images and other artifacts.
