Samsung 22" T220

by Bulld0g • 14 Jan 2009, 13:53 • Journals
I have tried all sorts of resolutions and like none, wish i had not spent £170 :(

seta r_mode "-1"
seta r_customheight "1050"
seta r_customwidth "1680"
seta r_displayrefresh "60"

I have been told r_mode 4 and 8 work ok but dont like them either :D just thought i would share the love!

/edit

finally found it doesn't play bad with max fps 60 it was too jerky with anything else :(

also 125 fps is sweet!

force the lcd via drivers (hmm, atitraytools/rivatuner) to work @ 75Hz (if it supports it) and play ET @ 75fps :o

i moved to lcd screens a couple of years back and found the only way to limit the tearing and jumpiness is to match or at least sync fps to refresh rate

as someone else has said you can 'hack' the registry to allow higher refresh rates.. but if you can run at 125/120 fps at 60hz it's a lot better than 75fps/hz

also if you've gone widescreen for the first time don't forget to tweak your fov (i use 90fov@4:3 and 100fov@16:10)

if your pc will pull 125fps it's a lot smoother at 60hz than 60fps... at 60 most of the diagonal lines and a lot of the textures refuse to render smoothly

yeah mate running 125 fps seems to help cheers! :)

i bought like 2 weeks ago LG w2284f and can't say anything bad about it, ok 4:3 wide what everyone said is the best for gaming is a bit shit, can't play at all with it, but 22" widescreen with it is kinda superb though it seemed wierd at first. Was also looking T220 but was worth to buy to buy LG i think

it has only 60 hz?
▼
EURUZZz 14 Jan 2009, 14:15
omg 60?
doesn't mean anything if it's 60/75/orwhatever number if ur talking about lcd screens since lcd changes only pixels not whole screen

Deactivated5784 14 Jan 2009, 14:17
well someone told me that you have to set the r_displayrefresh to the number of ur monitors hz. and he said that 100hz = perfect


thats why i thought that 60 must be pretty bad

EURUZZz 14 Jan 2009, 14:19
someone told me that if ur electricity is 50 hz and u have 50 hz TV then that's what it is and 100 hz is actually 50 hz TV screen since the power cable that comes into your house is actually working on 50 hz don't know much about this stuff but : / maybe they change someting inside tv

100 is far from perfect. and crt and lcd hz is diffrent, although 60hz lcd is pretty fucking shit

why would he play on a lower resolution when he can play on a higher one..
Parent
▼
fredd 14 Jan 2009, 15:52
for 75hz, obviously.

he said 60hz is choppy as hell and i agree, its near unplayable. 75hz is pretty ok after you get used to it.
Parent
▼
spiROZE 14 Jan 2009, 15:59
isn't it that 60hz is really 60Hz stable and when you activate 75Hz that it will sometimess switch between 60-75Hz... ?

edit: what has Hz to do with resolution?
Parent
▼
fredd 14 Jan 2009, 16:54
no, it doent randomly switch hz.. im pretty sure monitor hz isnt unstable, its not possible. maybe you're mixing it up with mouse hz

resolution has everything to do with hz. high resolution = less hz, for all monitors. 1280x800 is incidentally the highest 16:10 resolution you can get and still be able to use 75hz.
