60hz, and 27" monitors

(1/3) > >>

tp4tissue:
Should we just retire these?

Is there a good reason to keep making 60hz.

 :D

Findecanor:
You are 60hz. :-Þ

Not everyone needs a gaming monitor.

tp4tissue:
But there's no advantage, and the chips cost the same.

Leslieann:
There's more to a screen than just a chip and the typical office has no need for anything more.

And there is a reason to keep them, power efficiency.

tp4tissue:
But they already invented adaptive refresh, so the display can go down to 20hz if necessary. Offices are all plugged in, the fraction of a watt only makes a huge impact on cellphones, about 8.5%, On laptops the difference is 1-2% (properly designed).
