use 100-110 fov, yes it feels big and slow + awful damage feedback, but when you get used to it ... >:D

ASUS VW222U is that a good recommendable monitor for gaming? It seems cheap so it looks nice but I want to make sure that I'm going to be satisfied with the monitor I choose :)
Parent

h8m3 8 Dec 2008, 14:17
YES that one or LG 227wt
Parent

i got same monitor and use 960 * 600 75 hz 110 fov
▼
dejx 16 Nov 2008, 22:28
r_mode 6
fov 90
r_displayrefresh 75

still pretty awful
▼
jetro 16 Nov 2008, 22:29
Using the exact same monitor :o)

just playing on r_mode 6 ..

fov 105
▼
h8m3 16 Nov 2008, 22:29
only this:
r_mode 8 or 6
r_displayrefresh 75
com_maxfps 71/76

Squall has one of the best LCD's for gaming btw, my brother has the same and it's so much better than mine 2nd LG 226wtq or samsung 226bw: zero ghosting, the smallest overdrive errors percentage ever and 75hz@fullscreen without sensible scaling fuckup, so awesome
▼
Yossarian 17 Nov 2008, 00:01
Haven't been following LCD's for a while, is it worth changing 226BW to Squall 22" ?

I am quite unhappy with colors of 226BW :/

h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 00:18
well it has been on the market almost for a year, dunno maybe there're better ones already, actually i dont care at all after we chose the monitor for my bro, while i sticked to my crt.

I use the LG 226wtq @ r_mode 4 @ 75 hz looks so shit with jagged fat medics waddling everywhere :<

h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 00:40
fucked up aspectratio? play like this:
image: cc69ec392e39
that's "use your display in-built scaling" or smth @ nvidia control panel
as you can see it's totally normal 4:3 ratio, xhair is absolutely round, though it feels like the screen is 19'' :]
r_mode 6 @ r_displayrefresh 75 & com_maxfps 76 and you will own
Parent

Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 01:15
Is syncing displayrefresh with fps necessary?

I usually run at 125fps

Also my in build scaling just stretches it to full screen

Other scaling letterboxes but with vertical black bands.
Parent
▼
h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 01:23
yes, try 71fps, it will be much smoother than 125 since there will be constant ~1 frame per hz, while atm you have 1-2 and that's not stable at all -> not smooth + you will have more packets per second sent + the lowest recoil with pistol possible
76fps may cause tearing, it's not exactly 76, but 75-76-77, and when it's on 75hz you will get tearing (feels like lag when turning horizontally), that's why I advice 71
as for 60hz ofc 125fps is the best
if it feels that 125fps is much better than 71, you might have not 75hz, but 60, just check in the monitor menu.

Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 01:33
I have it at 75hz and I use 71 fps on my pistol and that seems more laggy than 125 fps on smg :/
Parent

h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 01:34
cant be
Parent
▼
Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 01:37
It says on osd @75hz I never found syncing fps with refresh rate to make any difference on a TFT
Parent
▼
h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 01:39
ehm, dunno, i find it much smoother
and what about scaling?
Parent
▼
Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 01:42
Yeh when I scale instead of getting black bands on either side vertically like your picture, the black bands letter box horizontally.
Parent
▼
h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 01:49
changed ARC to original??

Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 01:53

Parent
▼
h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 01:59
set reso to 1024x768 for example
press menu
choose setup
press AUTO/SET about 5 times, find ARC
change it
..........
PROFIT!
Parent

Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 02:03
In setup i have:

Language

Osd Position

White Balance (blacked out)

Power Indicator

Factory Reset

Could it be bacause I am using a dvi-d cable and not an analogue?
Parent
▼
h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 02:13
im also using DVI lol
what firmware version do you have?
to watch it: turn it on with menu button holded, then press menu again
ive got 1.20
if it's less than mine you might have some HUUUUUUUUGE ghosting problems btw as i read on forums
Parent
▼
Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 02:14
1.14
Parent
▼
h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 02:16
omg :[
i advice you to RMA so they update the firmware
your ratio is really fucked up now + mouse feeling is horrible :[[[
Parent
▼
Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 02:19
No way to update the firmware myself?
Parent
▼
h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 02:23
oh, just read they fixed the ghosting right in the 1.14 :) so at least you have no ghosting
but ARC is a nice feature, update would be nice. And no, you cant do it yourself :[[[

Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 02:28
I was thinking about getting a tft with a resolution of just 1280 1024 so then I would be able to run it full screen with no fucked up aspect ratio.

h8m3 17 Nov 2008, 02:29
1280x1024 is 5:4
wolfenstein is 4:3 (1024x768, 1280x960, 800x600 & so on
Parent
▼
Shuki 17 Nov 2008, 02:31
r_mode 8 = 1280 1024

What would you recommend instead, baring in mind I am not going to drive 100 miles to buy a crt.

toxic 17 Nov 2008, 00:00
I play on me 19 inch LCD at r_mode 6 because I can reach 75 hz @ it

I would go for higher resolution if my LCD could pull out more HZ .

ofc 75 fps + fov 100 I belive. I like these settings,got used to them.
▼
unblind 17 Nov 2008, 00:16
exactly same but 90 fov

edit: so clearly lower fov makes you shit
Parent
▼
toxic 17 Nov 2008, 01:01
It's just no good on this rig, CRT and diffrent res/ FPS/ HZ could work better with low FOV.
you have to squize all from your rig .Mine offers me only 75 hz so I have to adjust.
