<div dir="ltr">Hi Phillip,<br><br>What you can accept in terms of LCDs really depends on your requirements. If you just want a reliable 120 Hz update, then there are plenty of gaming-level LCD monitors that won't drop frames. That's the easy part of monitor characterisation though.<br><br>Apart from the Display++ and ViewPixx (which are both excellent, and no I don't have an interest in either company) we haven't found any non-CRTs that meet our relatively simple requirements of:<br>- Uniform luminance and contrast across the entire monitor surface, from a wide range of viewing angles<br>- Rapid onset and offset, such that you get good luminance and contrast control for single frame stimuli.<br><br><div>If you're just interested in reliable 120 Hz to present long-duration, non-moving stimuli, you have plenty of options. If you want static stimuli that are presented for 3+ frames, then you're also reasonably safe. If you want moving stimuli, as long as you don't care about contrast too much, then I think you're also safe. If you care about contrast, then make sure your stimuli are small and always presented in a small part of the monitor so you don't get viewing angle artefacts. At this stage, I don't care about colourful things, so you're on your own there! </div><div><br></div><div>Basically, whatever monitor you get, you'll still need to characterise its timing and luminance outputs (at a minimum). For my money, it's worth the investment in a Display++ or a ViewPixx. <br><br>nic</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 1 March 2017 at 09:55, Phillip Guan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:philguan@berkeley.edu" target="_blank">philguan@berkeley.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I'm wondering if there are alternatives to CRTs and the ViewPixx3D ($12,000 each) displays that can be used when fast response times are required for temporally varying stimuli.
