The TV in question is the Vizio SV420M. The problems I have been having lately include the noticeable flicker on my previous smaller TV. Upon getting this "supposedly" 120hz tv I notice much of the same. From what knowledge i gained in the short time, i understand there are several reasons for screen flicker but having a 700watt power supply and correctly seated radeon hd 5770's in crossfire i find the problem being the refresh rate. The reason i believe this is because when running games with vsync off (ive started doing this with my newly acquired pc since i like the extra frames) flicker is noticeable much more, but when i enable vsync it doesnt which makes sense since 60hz refresh rate + 60 fps = sense.
The problem is here that my tv claims its 120hz yet only shows up to 60hz refresh rate at the most. My understanding is I may have been gipped or Im missing something when it comes to movies vs using the tv as a monitor for gaming. Now i notice an almost 3d effect and amazing and smooth fluidity like ive never seen before with my last monitor when watching movies but the screen flicker when playing some game is unbearable. Can someone just clarify whats the issue and what im doing wrong and possibly enlighten me with what im not understanding as far as 120hz display vs refresh rate?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
FYI Im heading off to work as i post this so dont expect a response till the evening. Regardless, any information and opinions as well as recommendations for a different TV thats not poopy if this one is would be appreciated.
