Yeah, I've fiddled with sensitivity. And while I do have a protector on, it's the factory specimen -- almost too thin to even detect. Oh well. I've pretty much concluded that it is what it is. This was a hasty purchase that I didn't have much say in in the first place. Smartphones aren't...

Sure, as I stipulated, anyone who doesn't have a strongly accurate sense of the timing of a second, or timing in general, may be better off counting frames. A background in compositing can help. It's just what I use in a pinch. In my experience, when push comes to shove, such people are...

To the vast majority of living rooms (the TV market), it absolutely is not. A better argument could be made for HDR. Frankly impossible. You swipe your finger to scroll a page up and down. If the page doesn't follow your finger with frame-perfect precision (and no smartphone does), then its...

What matters to a given individual eventually is not a relevant datum. Once one maker catches on to something that is a legitimate improvement that not even the most painstaking "I don't see it" claims can deny, it'll become the norm. That's how we get 4K when 1080p is legitimately "good...

Granted. But you are phrasing it as if to conclude that 100% of that time is the fault of said software. Manifestly not. Before TV makers finally got dragged by LG into today's world of universally low latency, they were at least aware of the problem, and offered a "game mode" which mostly...

I wondered if anyone would ask this. There's a quite straightforward way of measuring the true latency. And by "true" I mean latency that hasn't been artificially faked with predictive algorithms. For the sake of accuracy, you might want to record yourself performing the following action...

Chief, the point made was the underscoring of how smartphone latency is a total crapshoot because it sits on that dubious edge between makers not giving a s*** and there being no reasonable technical barriers to improving it. Basically the same exact state of affairs TVs were in until the last...

You never know. Context helps. Until just a couple of years ago, TV makers were completely ignoring the topic of input lag. They had universally deemed it unimportant. Then LG had a minor scandal with their flagship OLED models and they got a lot of backlash over it -- something that could...

Not necessarily, bro. The S6 had sub-50ms latency -- well inside the best category for a smartphone.

I realize that basically no makers of smartphones or other devices with touch interfaces have jumped onto this particular bandwagon yet, but it's still just a little disappointing that my new S10 Plus has the same exact ~120ms latency as the Note 2 I upgraded from. According to what scant...
