You argument sounds good to an executive, however, it is simply not the case that games have rampant amount of hacking in general. EDIT: Why would you just downvote this, I already suspected you're one of those idiots who thinks everyo

They are being banned for the game code being modified in memory, the anti cheat knows nothing about the fact that input latency was decreased. And no, reducing input latency is not considered a cheat, anywhere, no game does that.

After researching this I believe the main je ne sais quoi of old console games on CRT in order of importance is vsync, lack of motion blur due to CRT, low black level (and thus high contrast that LCD cannot begin to compare to), and then ph

It wouldn't surprise me in todays market but humans are much more sensitive to audio than visual. That's why in audio production ~10ms is the max tolerable limit IIRC.

Well people have been trying that since Flash but it's just been nothing but frustrating janky games.

Here's how I see it: 99% of the time a game after 1998 or so says "vsync" it means double buffered vsync, so I'll explain that version. Let's say the game renders frames instantly. Without vsync but locked at 60FPS,

Yeah that "connected feeling" is what people should talk about when talking about input lag. > LED It's actually still an LCD. The manufacturers calling them "LED monitors" is a scam, they just changed out the ba

60Hz vsync literally feels worse than 50FPS/60Hz uncapped. I believe 32ms of input lag is not in itself blatantly noticeable. But on top of the base lag of every single game made after 1998, it's extremely bad.

It impacts even casual game play. Run a monitor at 60Hz. Run whatever FPS locker you want (whatever the game has built in, RTSS, etc) at 60FPS then run with the frame locker removed but vsync on. The average person will notice the huge diff

Yeah the range of CRT quality was huge and visible. Those were a type of product where price actually correlated to quality. With an LCD you could pay $1000 for a "gaming" model and still get something that has basic issues like h

You only want your brightness to be something like 120cd/m^2 which is well below what most LCDs even let you adjust down to (even though that's what sRGB and all such common color spaces were designed for). A new CRT will go way a

Yes I'm well aware of the consumer whore, but you don't understand, none of this is about money, it's about proper configuration. Vsync: Unbearable amount of input lag, feels like you're moving your mouse in molasses. It

Bad monitors are just a gimped setup. Ungimping your setup doesn't mean compensating for a lack of skill. 60Hz LCDs are extremely hard on the eyes because of the large amount of motion blur inherent to displaying something at 60Hz with

You already get 99% of that "wallhack" by having stereo headphones. The game is mostly flat.

One of the main parts of computer usage that causes eye strain is blur. CRTs only started solving this problem around the early 2000s and got discontinued shortly after. LCDs solve it for static images but not moving. E-ink will naturally h

You can get fined for having mic on now? I know games that have bugs where open mic will turn on without you enabling it from time to time. This will never change, as the current way people program is just gluing poorly made libraries with

What do you mean? That article says the claim is false. LCD monitors emit blue light whether you want it or not anyway. Merely setting something in the OS to change the color temperature does not eliminate blue light and I don't think
