Laptop's LCD > Any Crt? (in terms of vertical refreshrate)

Today i seemed to accidentally discovered that i can in fact run my laptop, Asus v6j, vertical refresh rate to 109 hz (oh and it can go as low as like 6 hz [rofl multiple ghosting is fun]) Anyways from this i can actually game well on my laptop now because of this little neat trick. No image tears and i guess i can say it's really all that i wanted from a LCD. 1400x1050 getting 109 fps makes everything i do now sooo SMOOOooooottttthhhhhhh. But neways..

I used powerstrip to change my vertical refresh rate(windows or driver cp doesn't Truly change the refresh rate at all)
I'm estimating that my lcd screen has a response time of about 9 ms at most

was anyone else aware of this?

 

LCDs don't refresh the same way as CRT. Where as on a CRT the dots dim after each refresh LCDs hold their setting until changed. Setting your LCD panel to 109Hz is unnecessary. Image tearing is caused by the refresh rate not matching the game's frame rate. While your change may alleviate the problem it's not the ideal solution. Many games have a sync setting. And of course there's the very slight chance you might be damaging your LCD.

 

i believe we have a winnar

 

Yes I understand they refresh differently, but I'm comparing the amount of complete frames that can be changed in any second and at what resolution. (I don't know of any crt that can achieve 100 refresh rate @ high resolutions) I would at the very least use 100 vertical refresh rate because of the most optimum level of fps of the game(Counter-strike 1.6 btw) i play is 100 no less no more.

I see your point in image tearing and i forgot to mention that the game has to be running at 100 fps(or else the entire game play changes) so i can't limit it to 60 (which is the default refresh rate) if i want no image tearing.In other words vsync on + 100 fps

also for some unknown reason having 100 hz refresh rate somehow makes your mouse seem to accelerate faster?? anyone notice this?? or is it just the same speed and that the smoothness of the movement of the mouse kind of tricks your brain into thinking that it's moving faster

Hmm and I agree with you a little about the dmging lcd thing but really not sure, I was running at 150 hz at one time of course since it can't sync correctly i saw rainbow colors but i could still see feint outlines of stuff. I ran a little to long in this mode and all of a sudden entire screen like turned white. This scared me, but i hibernated, unhibernated, and it was back to normal. So maybe at the xtreme ends yes, probably not permanent damage, but i wouldn't bet on it + i only need 100, Most lcd screens on the market (desktop ones) should be capable of achieving this if their response(the real one gtg is it?) is less than 10 ms

 

I wouldn't gamble with it. I have played games at lower framerates and then increased the framerate, its not going to be life or death, and I am sure there is a patch to fix whatever the image problem you are having is, otherwise laptops wouldn't be capable of gaming.

 

in most games that's the case but in counter-strike 1.6, it's a different story because of the gldsrc game engine that it uses. The fps affects the game play (even though it's not suppose to)

 

Well it's your laptop, good luck.
