Right. Not only that, in my experience, TVs and monitors really don’t even support specific rates - what I mean is, they can usually accept a range of timings. It would probably require extra work to intentionally _not_ support some specific rates.
They might report support for specific rates in their EDID, but you can usually feed it almost totally arbitrary video timings and it will still work as long as your vblank, front porch, etc. values are somewhat reasonable and you don’t exceed its max rate.
Furthermore, if you were to send a display a video signal with timing parameters for 24 Hz but actually clocked at 23.9, I doubt the monitor would even care. After all, it must tolerate some frequency difference since the incoming signal is being clocked by the sending device.
The only time I’ve ever seen a display (in this case, an LG 4K monitor) act weird is when I fed it an interlaced signal.
- ddingus 5y agoMany HDMI devices will display a very wide range of inputs. A group I hang with are exploring all that with a micro able to output native HDMI / DVI. It has been enlightening. The industry support at the display level is good and can be even better. This really is all about streaming having to compete with a body of legacy media. To a lesser degree it is about the most efficient solutions between creators and distributors. The Xbox problem mentioned can be fixed with a firmware update. So do that... sheesh!
