3d ready 120hz monitors

so i know that if i play a game on this and the game runs at more then 60 fps i WILL see the extra fps... but i was wondering

if i play a movie (24fps) on a 120hz 3d ready monitor.... does it process the signal and make the interpolated frames or does it just repeat each frame 5 times?
 
Luger, since there's been no reply... I would presume that YOU... are our knight; our galant single warrior, diving into the darkness... hopefully to return with the ability to type, and enlighten us all as to your quest's end. Or, you will be swallowed up by the dragon of misery, and slowly slink to the floor and not say a thing. Which, btw... WOULD BE REALLY WIMPY !

I would believe still run @24fps but since i find all movies boring i don't know much about how dvds are read so i'm not certain about it
 
120hz justbasicaly allows more refresh rate so if you play a game that runs over 60fps on a 60hz monitor, after 60fps you start to see Vsync issues. However with a 120hz monitor you can go up to 120fps befor you see any overlaping or sync issues with the picture. Running a 24fps film will make no difference on a 60 or 120hz monitor because the 120hz is what tue refresh rate goes up to.
 
See, this is what tricks punters who buy 200+hz televisions and such. No program is going to be recorded at such a framerate, if a TV show or a film is at 24 fps, that's all you're going to get out of it. Right now it's only really suitable for PC gamers, since nothing else can really push it.

Not unless your watching some ultra slow mo explosion on Sky HD or sumin

LED HD monitors are the way to go. i have mine (iiyama E2472HD) HDMI'd up, and it eats everything i have thrown at it.

it's the response time that may show motion blur on some monitors.

you need to be looking for HD monitors with 2ms response times or less, for the best options.

Viewsonic 27" 1ms FTW!
 
on the contrary....

there is a little trickery involved, but slow-mo is the same frame-rate at any-mo. it's all done with post-processing shaders on the GPU.
 
My monitor does 60Hz and when I play CRYSIS V Sync'd it clocks down to 50Hz. Right now in Internet Explorer my monitor says 67.4kHz 60Hz PP

I must be duplicating frames for Windows stuff. Windows runs at low FPS. I ran FRAPS and it say Windows iss 5-15 ish FPS
 
i know that 120hz lcds and 240hz lcds process the signal and *sometimes* (i said sometimes! dont eat me up!) make movies look more smooth...but do the 120hz 3d ready monitors like the asus and BenQ ones also do this or do they just repeat the frames

did i make it more clear? ive looked around and havent found anything about watching movies on one of these monitors

Windows runs at whatever it needs to. If you don't move mouse will sit at 1 ~ 5 fps, if you are on youtube or scroll up and down a page rapidly will increase a fair bit

As far as i understand it just raises your frame cap, so 35fps on a 60hz, when you upgrade to 120hz, you still get 35fps. However you won't have any real need for V Sync with a 120hz monitor, and disabling that boulsters frames

yea i think the 120hz 3d ones dont process the signals at all if they did they wouldnt have 2ms response time...maybe theres a model out there that does
