| I've been wondering, what exactly does "Vsyncronous" mean? I know I've heard it before... Perhaps Grey Alien could give me a hint? |
| ||
| Vsync = Vertical Synch for me.. usaly means 50 or 60 times persecond on tv screen. But todays cheap flatt tv only updates 25 timers per second.. makes Super Mario Bross look like crap :( usaly gamers talk of FPS now days. meaning fram per second. Vsync is from CRT monitors. that time the electron beam is movning from bottom back diagonal to start position. Vsyncronous ? dont know LOL :) |

| I thought it meant it's syncronous with Vsync. |
| ||
| Thanks, that helps. I'd seen the word "Vsync" used, and I THOUGHT I'd seen "Vsyncronous" used, but I may have been wrong. |

| vSynchronous only 25 hitts on google Vsyncronous obly 19 hitts on google Vsync = 800.000 hitts on google. This must means Vsyncronous is not professional word. the word must be Vsync. Maby even Voice Modems. Or all here bad spell casters like me. iam more like a old fat viking warrior. |

| Vsync enabled apps/GPU's wait for the monitors vertical blank before they send the next frame to the screen. This means that whatever your monitors refresh rate is, Most TV's 50 times per second, LCD's 60 or 75 times per second and CRT monitors from 60 upto 200 times per second,your app will only manage this many loops per second because it waits for the monitor/GPU. You will however get silky smooth movement as long as your CPU/GPU can keep up with this many loops per second. |

| Only problem is that LCD display can only update 25 frames per second cause of LED techology is so poor. |

| LCD display can only update 25 frames per second Ummm... no? Since LCD monitors do not employ phosphors, refresh rate is not a concern. Basically, the transistors in the LCD remain open or closed as needed until the image changes. This can be a point of confusion for some consumers, however, since most graphics cards still "ask for" a refresh rate setting. This is due to the analog nature of existing graphic cards (see "Inputs" section) and their support for CRT displays. While refresh rates do not apply to LCD monitors, most LCDs are set up to accept any settings from 60Hz and above. http://www.necdisplay.com/support/css/monitortechguide/index04.htm And you're mixing LCD wit LEDs, which is slightly wrong as LED tech (LED Back Light Unit (BLU)) is not yet widely used - and it's hardly "poor"! :) http://www.digitalanimators.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=33128 |

| Hey Mustang, got an info link for this LEDBLU technology? |
| ||
| Hi Adam, check the NEC article... it explains how the LED BLU works and why it is better than current solution. Here's another link: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/10/28/a_revolution/index.html And SED monitors are coming too, although they will take some time to arrive: http://www.canon.com/technology/canon_tech/explanation/sed.html http://www.behardware.com/articles/593-1/close-encounters-of-the-third-kind-sed.html |

| Thanks man... Let's all hear it for SEDs!!! Bring 'em on!!! |
