Poor display refresh rate during playback

When I say "display refresh rate" I'm talking about the various toolbars, level meter and the clock. I'm not talking about the time coding like in frames of a video clip vs. minutes/seconds/decimal but how fast those toolbars visually refresh their information. In Cool Edit Pro 2.1 they were real-time. Level meter and clock would refresh at the max speed of 61 frames per second (limited by monitor). However Audition refreshes at what I am guessing is around 12-15 FPS. The level meter is like watching stop motion animation and the clock skips along by fractions of a second instead of a smooth continuous spin. That rate makes the whole program appear sluggish and the level meter bars do not peak, just the resulting tic mark appears. The sound is fine and uninterrupted.
It is not a hardware issue. This is primarily a gaming rig (Nvidia 280 GTX, X-FI Fata1ity, Intel Quad core, 4GBs RAM, Vista 64x, etc.). I do audio editing as a side job. I've used versions of Cool Edit Pro for nearly a decade on many machines including this one and I want to upgrade to a multi-core/multi-thread version to make editing faster. Is there a setting somewhere to set faster display refresh rates?

I don't think so. That would be the setting that replaces any form of Vista with XP, I suspect, and M$ thoughtlessly didn't add that... but you could try turning off every single service that isn't needed, and try unplugging any form of networking connection - the polling these do can screw the response of your entire system. That's why dedicated DAWs are built - to get around all of the throttling that your average or gaming PC does. Look for an app like EndItAll, and run it before processing audio. No, I don't know why it happens, but there have been problems with video displays almost forever with CEP/Audition - simply because as an app, it doesn't prioritise video.

Solaris8+patch display refresh rate problem

I have installed the 109401-05 video patch for Solaris8 to update the video
card drivers. But now at 1600x1200 screen resolution the maximum display
refresh rate is always 60Hz, altough higher settings in kdmconfig. The behaviour is similar at 1280x1024, but the max. rate is 80Hz. I have tryed
this with the ATI Xpert2000pro and Xpert98 graphic cards.
Without the patch the refresh rate is OK (with the Xpert98 card). The
motherboard is Abit KT7.
Does anybody know what could be the problem?
Thanks, Albin

Hmm, if the refresh rate was OK before you installed the 109401-05
video driver patch, why don't you uninstall that patch? Or do you
need some other bugfix included in 109401-05?
Otherwise the 60Hz problem problem with certain old ATI cards is not unknown to me:
See this Solarisonintel posting for a possible solution.

Second display refresh rate lower in Mac OSX than Windows

I use a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB CRT monitor connected to my MacBok via a miniDVI to VGA adapter; I span the desktop on both monitors (i.e. I do not use the Mirror Displays option). I use this configuration in both Mac OSX and Windows (via bootcamp). On Windows, I can set the refreesh rate of my CRT monitor to 75 Hz at 1600x1200, but I am stuck to 60 Hz on Mac OSX at 1600x1200. To get a more respectable refresh rate on my CRT, I need to lower the resolution to 1400x1050.
Obviously, the video card of the MacBook can handle a second display at 1600x1200 at 75 Hz since I can do that on Windows. Any ideas how to get the same result on Mac OSX?

Either DisplayConfigX or SwitchRes X should be able to remedy this. But I am at a loss to explain why OS X would itself not allow for the 75Hz choice.

T61p Wuxga display refresh rates

Hi!
I suspect that my GNU/Linux installation sets the wrong refresh rates for my 15.4" WUXGA 1920x1200 display. It sets the vertical rate at 50, which seems very low.
I can't seem to find what the correct rates are in the documentation that came with the computer. Does anyone know? If you don't know the horizontal rate, I'm still interested in the vertical rate. What does Vista set? (I removed Vista, so I can't check myself.)
Please help!

Adamaxus -- searching the web I find a lot of such claims. I didn't know this. But I do know from my own experience that vertrefresh has a huge impact on my stationary lcd monitor. Are there different kinds of lcds that behave differently in respect to vertrefresh?
Anyway, I don't have any flicker on my T61p screen. It only bothers me that xorg and nvidia-settings report different refresh rates, and that some GL applications might get the wrong info and slow down because of it.This is one of the explanations floating around the net for slow gl desktops on T61p.
If 50 is the default refresh rate, I would think that xorg is right and nvidia-settings is wrong (it reports 60).

MacBook Pro 6,2 Display Refresh Rate

I'm curious, can we get an official stat on this from Apple?
For external monitors you can select a refresh rate.
I'm assuming it's 60 Hz, but sometimes I'm convinced it's actually higher. There seems to be less ghosting than on any of my Windows machines, even though one of them has an IPS LCD screen.
I'm assuming Apple doesn't use 120 Hz screens on any of its products, but it also seems impossible to tell!
Note that this is useful to know for Syncing to Vblank in games and also for video playback, especially for stuff recorded in 24 fps.

Apple uses 60 and 75 Hz typically.

Display refresh rate

Can anyone tell me what is the optimal refresh rate is for the T61p display with 1680/1050 resolution with the quadro fx 570m video card. mine is set to 40hz and max is 60 hz. which is better for viewing???

IPad Air display refresh rate for full screen movies?

What exactly happens if I play a movie on the iPad full screen with a rate of e.g. 24p, 25p or 50i?
The stated maximal refresh rate is 60Hz.
Will this rate be reduced when playing movies?
Or will frames be dropped / interpolated if the frame rate and the refresh rate don't match?
Or will the movie be sped up / slowed down?
When using the HDMI adapter, I can see that it always outputs 60p, regardless of the movie frame rate. But maybe this is different on the internal panel.
Thanks for any insight!

Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

MBP display refresh rate

MBP6.2, 8GB, 128SSD, GT330M 512 MB: when connected to a Dell U2711 monitor at 2560x1440 the only refresh rate available is 36Hz - is this normal? where can I get some more info about this kind of limitations?

Are the grey tones in text mate based on patterned pixels? You may have to zoom the screen to check for sure. If so, and if it's an option, change to true gray tones from patterned ones and see if that fixes the problem.

With 5th gen nano, how to display album artwork during playback at all times, it stays on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black? Is there a way to play and see artwork, at all times (using with a aux. speaker)

I have a 5th gen nano, and I play it often on a aux. speaker. I would like the album artwork to display at all times while playing it here. Right now it plays for a few seconds on each song, and then goes blank. Can this be changed?

The artwork turns black or the screen's backlight turns off? If the backlight turns off, simply disable the backlight timer, but keep in mind this will significantly reduce your iPod's playback time and battery life.

Stream 7 Display refresh rate stuck at 53Hz

60 and 59hz are very common, 59 is a fall back too the fact that SD broadcast is not 30fps but 29.97fps. The refresh may actually be just a bug in how it is being reported back to windows if it was something introduced in the newer bios. It had no impact on the buzzing headphone line problem.

jeffmdaemon wrote:I would HOPE someone didn't make the mistake of buying the stream 7 with gaming in mind. Its neat to beable to do some things with its capabilities, but the lack of basic dos support in the cpu itself, low memory, non dedicated gpu, and the allready limited touch support for games in windows, nothing about this tablet says it is made for games.
I doubt anyone would, as you mentioned there is no way anyone sees it for gaming. However we enthusiasts will always find a way around all those limitations you mention up there as long as the hardware permits it. I am not from the dos era, so anything that needs dos I probably wouldn't bother with. Just plug in a good old keyboard or maybe a gamepad, and most older games, especially emulation becomes easily playable. A tablet is after all, made for content consumption, and what do you see others do with theirs? They play games as well, and watch videos on them. In the end you are going to stare at the screen all the time, as long as the other hardware supports it, why not just give the best screen you can within whatever budget you set? Therefore, why would HP limit their own specifications to 53Hz, when it has been shown to run just fine at 60Hz? Why would they cripple their own screen which is the most basic neccessity of any content consumption device? Like I said, at least put a changelog to explain. It never brought any benefits, nor does it fix any problems that everyone here faces.

Gnome 3.16 Wayland Setting Display refresh rates

In X I have done this with xrandr, but in Wayland there is no such option that I know of.
What would be the way to do it?

Yes I did try disabling Wayland.
Unfortunately my system is facings bugs with the open source drivers, even the xserver has issues starting. It's just unusable

1) Accelerated Graphics Port - there is enabled if yes that that it is necessary to make that it became accessible.
2) whether Frequency of hertz with 60 can be raised even up to 75.

Hi
I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz.
The display refresh rate is not important on the notebook screens.
TFT matrix doesn't have such thing as refresh rate. It doesn't blink.
TFT like all other LCD screens doesn't have refresh rate parameter, only reaction time.
Your eyes are safe ;)
Ps: As far as I know the AGP port is not available.

Increase refresh rate of my LCD display

Hey hey hey. How can I increase the refresh rate available for my LCD display? Should I increase the refresh rate? I cannnot find where to change it.

There are different refresh rates that you can set, but I agree, 60 should be adquate. You can check this under Control Panel, Display, Settings, Then Click on Advanced, then Monitor. There you will see the refresh rate. Unclick the "Hide modes..." and you will see other rates which may not be able to be applied to your machine.

Setting refresh rate manuall in display options?

hi all,
I have recently received a Dell 1908WFP monitor, which runs at a native resolution of 1440x900x75hz.
When i connect it to my macbook pro using the mini-display-port-to-VGA-connector, this resolution is detected fine.
When connecting with the DVI connector, the resolution 1440x900 is setup properly, but the vertical refresh rate is set to 60hz. In display preferences the option for 75hz is greyed out.
Is there a way to force the refresh rate to 75hz?
thanks,
lennard

Hmm, I think I'm missing something here but I just looked at GraphicsDevice.java and as far as I can see it doesn't check for refresh rates.
     * Returns the current display mode of this
     * <code>GraphicsDevice</code>.
     * @return the current display mode of this graphics device.

        GraphicsConfiguration gc = getDefaultConfiguration();
        Rectangle r = gc.getBounds();
        ColorModel cm = gc.getColorModel();
        return new DisplayMode(r.width, r.height, cm.getPixelSize(), 0);//REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN = 0; ??

Photos not displaying during playback

Hi all
I added a few still photos from my iPhoto library at the beginning of a showreel I am putting together but for some reason some of the photos won't display during playback.
They appear on the timeline just fine but during playback they go black before it returns to the rest of of the video clip where normal play resumes.
I have tried to move the photos, delete then re-add the photos but still nothing.
The photos display perfectly in all other sources and devices.
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue.
There are several methods.
Hold option and CMD when iPhoto starts and rebuild the data base, then try grabbing them form iPhoto to iMovie.
Export them from iPhoto to the desktop and drag from desktop to iMovie.
Thats the 2 which I have limped through the last couple of issues I have had with it, but now I am having no luck at all with an of the solutions (check my recent post about this issue and Apples lack of sh*ts given about it), there are listed the solutions I have tried.
Hope this helps...
