  • The transmission is still the same with the exception of things like VRR and DSC. We still send a VBLANK signal which is the electronic signal to tell a CRT to move up to the top of the screen. We don’t change the way things are sent. It’s still top down, left to right. VSync and HSync are still used but make less obvious sense on LCDs. Digital displays translate this.

    Because LCDs convert these signals, we call the time it takes to do the conversion “draw time” but this isn’t as important today. What matters now is the time it takes for a pixel to change one color to another (response time). Because a CRT would fire electrons, the next frame would essentially vanish pretty quickly. LCDs don’t do this.

    Conversely OLEDs are plenty fast, but can’t reproduce the same pixel response without inserting a blank frame with Black Frame Insertion which sacrifices brightness and is being slowly removed.

    Still, most “lag” comes from transmission time. It takes 1/60s of a second to transmit a full frame at 60hz. Divide that 2 to get the “average” lag and CRTs would measure at 8.3333ms. LCDs were happy to get to 10ms.

    Now we can do 120hz which is way more important since even if CRTs are faster, you can get the whole image out in half the time, which “averages” at 4.1666ms, making even a “4ms” slow LCD on PC better than the console running at 60hz on CRT.

    And while CRTs could reach high resolution, these were limited by their HSync speed which usually means lower resolution, because a CRT could only move ever so quickly horizontally.

    Today that translates to an OLED is best for emulating any console that ran at 60hz and better or as good pixel response time if you are willing to do BFI. The main reason why the competitive Melee community still uses CRT is mostly pricing, second to FUD.

    That’s three ad-hominem attacks. But sure, those are your “arguments”. Well argued. /s

    But of course, when you have nothing meaningful to say, you just attack people. I guess that’s to be expected. Just blame the person when you get called out. You could have taken this as a lesson and admitted you were wrong, and learned, but you decided to double down and insult people instead. Well argued.

    Stop deflecting and stop trying to gaslight me. If prisons are the same as jails in this regard then why dispute? Why even bring it up? You’re retroactively trying to save face.

    I am fully aware how prisons and jails are similar and how they are different. You’re the one who was trying to correct somebody and then got downvoted to oblivion.

    Oh, but now you were just randomly bringing an unrelated technical point about how jails can hold innocent people now that you’ve been confronted with the facts. /s

    I don’t have to distract with cheap ad-hominem attacks when I can quote your words right back to you:

    Prison. Not jail.

    Jails are temporary holding areas until you get to see a judge. Which means you could still be innocent at that point.

    Yep. That’s the right definition. Not what you said. You said jail is for innocent people. You also said the definition doesn’t differ no matter where you are and the link clearly defined the US can have a different interpretation (see interchangeable use).

    You should read what you link to (emphasis mine).

    Jail and prison are often used interchangeably as places of confinement. If you want to be specific jail can be used to describe a place for those awaiting trial or held for minor crimes, whereas prison describes a place for criminals convicted of serious crimes.

    You said:

    Jails are temporary holding areas until you get to see a judge. Which means you could still be innocent at that point.

    You can be convicted and in jail, which makes perfect sense in Monopoly, since it’s generally for a shorter period of time. They are both synonymous for the purpose of imprisoning somebody but different on how drastic the crimes you are behind bar for. In my opinion you should be in jail for minor crimes and not put in prison and it’s perfect for Monopoly.
