No. YOU couldn’t afford such a tv. Don’t assign your shortcomings to your betters
Is it a TV or a Monitor, DP 1.2 allows for 1080P @ 240Hz rate over a HBR2 connection (source devices were not common back then). Nor were TV's that accept DP common either.


EDIT: Nevermind HDMI 2.0 could do it too, which is far more common (though source systems still don't seem common).

Using personal wealth to measure your value in society? /cringe
What an interesting insight into your personality.

WilliamG's ignorance of the abilities of TV's at the time aside, there are plenty of people in this world with more dollars than sense. Perhaps he actually is richer than you and focuses on buying and selling real estate instead of personal electronics.

No ignorance. No TV 8 years ago was taking a 240hz signal INPUT. I had a 240hz TV probably a decade ago, too, and it was fantastic for watching 24p movies (10:10 pulldown), for 3D, or for that soap-opera effect (if that's your thing), but was quite incapable of taking a 240hz input signal (60hz input max). I suggest you read up about such things:


HDMI wasn't even capable of anything higher than 60hz back then.

I'm not at all. I have an LG CX OLED TV, with the very latest HDMI 2.1 technology, which can't even take a 240hz signal, - just 120hz. I do suggest you research what your 8-year-old TV is capable of. 240hz signal INPUT was not possible on your TV. If you'd like to post the model number of your TV, after all your petty insults - I'd be even happier to prove you wrong. :)

Meh, I didn't really care to research it when Black Belt replied to me on the previous page over the semantics of me saying "several years" instead of "over a decade" to reflect his TV's age. My point was lost on him already -- that gaming was hardly the reason such things were popular.

You don't need a panel that runs at 120 hz for 24 fps playback, really. The monitor I'm staring at as I type this is actually a combination TV/PC monitor and is a 60 hz panel with a native 24 hz mode. When I use the Blu-Ray player or the Fire Stick to play back 24p content it switches modes automatically. This monitor is 13 years old.
