Speaking of "TV input delay," ordinary consumers may not have noticed or heard about this issue. But for senior gamers, delay is the focus of their attention, and the size of the delay will have a major impact on the purchase decision.
First, what is the input delay?
TV originally was a product that received television signals and played video content. Therefore, the signal was processed and corrected to make the image more beautiful. Landscaping circuits that implement these functions are often referred to as image engines. Entering the digital HD generation, manufacturers are making efforts to bring better picture quality to users, but they also have a negative effect on display delays.
The display delay is the delay caused by processing in the beautifying circuit after the signal is input. In actual television products, the effect of delay caused by beautifying the circuit is greater. Regardless of the panel with a good response time, if the beautification process takes a lot of time, the delay will become very large.
Second, the importance of delay
Is delay really important? In some fast-paced games, such as fighting and shooting, the response time of the display device to the video input signal is very important. If the player uses some products with large input delays, then they will experience a noticeable delay in operation. Lost in the game where the details determine the success or failure. In fighting games and shooting games, 1/30 seconds is enough to determine "life and death."
For example: What is the concept of 63 millisecond input delay? According to a stable play game is 60FPS to convert, every 1 second s is 1000ms/60 - that is, 16.6ms (about 17ms) per frame picture, then 63ms is equal to 4 frames. In other words, the 63-millisecond input delay means that the picture on your TV has actually lagged behind the original four-frame picture, which is already not acceptable. For the FPS shooting game, the delay of four frames plus the person's reflection time, the goal of the headshot has long since left. When you move the mouse and see the position of the front sight, it will not hit the target. This is the gap. . Believe that PS4 and Xbox players have a deep understanding.
Well, speaking so much, it is time to enter the topic of today's article - "Mainstream Smart TV Delay Comparison Test"
Evaluation object: mainstream five smart TVs;
Specific models: Storm VR55X Warrior version, see still V50S, cool open 50A2, micro whale W55C1T and millet 3S smart TV;
Evaluation Tools: Smart TV, Canon 6D and Notebook;
This article uses the test method: Smart TV through HDMI connection notebook, open the notebook stopwatch, click to run. At the same time open Canon 6D camera video mode, the smart TV and notebook stopwatch screen recorded. Finally, video playback is used to compare the time difference between the smart TV and the notebook to obtain the delay result.
Editor's note: HDTV has also been specifically tested for TVs that have a "motion compensation" mode.
1, Storm VR55X Warrior Edition
Delay time: 0.03s
2, see still V50S
Delay time: 0.03s
3, cool open 50A2
Delay time (open motion compensation): 0.14s
Delay time (off motion compensation): 0.13s
4, micro whale W55C1T
Delay time (standard mode): 0.16s
Delay time (sport mode): 0.21s
5, millet 3S
Delay time (open motion compensation): 0.14s
Delay time (off motion compensation): 0.05s
Through the above comparison, it can be seen that the Storm VR55X and the V50S are the best of the five products, with a delay time of only 3 milliseconds, which drastically shakes up other competitors. After Xiaomi 3S turned off the motion compensation mode, the delay time was greatly reduced. The delay performance of Coocaa 50A2 and Micro Whale W55C1T is at the bottom, and the delay time is about ten milliseconds. Through the above data, I believe everyone has a comparison of the pros and cons of mainstream smart TVs. When choosing to buy, if you are a game enthusiast, then this comparative evaluation will help you!
