So I just recently got a 144hz monitor, specifically the Samsung C27HG70.
I have it set to 120hz, because my GPU is a GTX 680, which apparently can't handle 144hz. When I watch 30 fps Blu-rays (youtube videos for that matter), the video is incredibly jarring. I tried to google what the problem may be, and looked up "ghosting", but it seems like that's not the issue, because it turns up the UFOTest and what I'm seeing with my Blu-rays is definitely not what I see in the ghosting test.
HOWEVER, what I'm seeing with the Blu-rays is pretty much what I'm seeing with their FPS test, which shows the UFO sliding across at different FPS (30, 60, 90). The 60 and 90 look fine, but at 30, the UFO basically looks like it's split up into two. That's very similar to what I see in the Blu-rays, in that I can see a bunch of the "in-between" frames, instead of it being blurry, as it would normally be.
Is this normal, and what most people get when they have 144hz monitors? Or am I experiencing some kind of defect?
Because what I'm also getting with this monitor is a flashy red screen whenever I boot up, before the Windows splash screen pops up. This isn't the "red screen of death", though, because it boots up perfectly normally, and I don't see the flashing red once I get into windows. Could the flashing red screen still be an indication something is wrong with my monitor? And the jarring 30 fps video is somehow related to that?
Or are those two unrelated things, and the jarring 30 fps is normal for 144hz screens?
