That should be the name of the next big virus.

Lets hope not

My system is infected with Matt.Speller!!

Quiet afternoon here. Needed one of those.
-
Here too. Of course I bought that by working since 6am. So my "shift" is done in 20 minutes and my day is over.
-
The family leaves for Florida tomorrow afternoon. I get a week mostly alone after that.
-
Ugh, Ran into one of those avid gamer types. Yeah, Yeah brag about you FPS and how much you spent on it. while everyone else know you can't see that many. Else you'd be seeing the lights cut on & off too with the AC mains frequency (or twice for some type light)
-
Actually, lights are only at 60, a lot of people can see that. Not the majority, but a lot. That's why traditional florescents are so often uncomfortable, the constant high speed flicker.
-
Lots of people will notice as the ballasts in them age. Another fun fact is in North America they all hum at the same pitch, I don't recall exactly but I think it's a B flat.
-
I can see lights flicker, I can also hear them, it sucks. But I can't see games at that same speed, the movement makes that unrealistic. I do know one guy who can see over 65 Hz. It really sucked for us in the pre-LCD days. We always had to buy "special" monitors that could do 85 Hz. The difference was unbelievable. One was a continuous headache and this odd, not quite there, but not quite not there flicker thing going on. The screen was unstable. That is partially why I loved non-GUI systems back in the day, the old terminals had low refresh rates but they have very high persistence screens so they were blurry rather than flickery.
Once we moved up to 85Hz the screen would be rock solid.
-
Nearly time to call it a day. And tomorrow is Friday!
-
@dominica is dealing with a rental house that she and her whole family are renting tomorrow that, at the last second, tried to cancel on her and force her to pay a huge extortion fee to have a place to stay. Not fun.
-
@scottalanmiller Same reason I'm very unhappy with my 30hz 4K monitor. Should have waited and got the 60.
-
I don't see the lights flicker, but I could definitely tell when someone was using 60 Hz on a monitor. Anything higher and I was fine.
-
Ugh, I can't imagine trying to use a 30Hz display!

Almost everything professionally made is recorded at 4k or 6k Not everyone is doing 4k deliverables yet.

Now that I read this, I do seem to recall hearing that before.. Damn how fast do you fill a 64 GB flash stick?
