Yes, its more than a year old, but this is an incredibly in depth look at some of the performace aspects of LCDs compared to others and to traditional CRT monitors, and what things are relevant given human Mk.1 eyeballs, including:
- Why very fast grey to grey response times have surprisingly little real world effect
- Why benq are actually making the backlight flicker sequentially like a CRT to improve performance at the cost of introducing some flicker
- Why setting your LCD to a refresh rate faster than 60Hz is actually likely to make things less smooth
- Why flat panel TV manufacturers are all introducing interpolated frames in video to improve image quality
That's just in the bit I've had time to read so far... a third of the article.
