Fast refresh rate lcd

Hello all,

Not sure this is in the correct forum. Moving on...

I need to purchase a fast refresh rate (>85Hz) lcd monitor. It's not for human eyes, but will be used to present a smooth moving target on the screen for an external automated viewer - 'smooth moving', hence the necessary fast refresh.

I'm finding it extremely hard to search for adequate monitors by refresh rates. Specs generally don't list it, I'm assuming since human eyes max out at around 60Hz so it's kind've useless.

Does anyone know of a specific fast refresh monitor? Is there a central database which I can peruse?

Any help would be amazing... Please end my frustration.
 
I'm afraid the best you are going to find is a 75hz in the general market, and that will probably be forced down to a real 60hz, its just not needed by the general public, supply and demand thing i'm afraid.

I hear good things (but no solid numbers) of the refresh rates on the new OLED technology, kodak seem to be supplying some screens, perhaps a phone call to the manufacturer is in order.
 
Many thanks ferg. You confirmed my naive suspicions...

Damn.

I'm looking at oleds, and there don't seem to be any ~20" monitors available yet. Will phone head office tomorrow. But until then... We need this for Official Research Purposes, so our budget is relatively high. Are there other options? Projectors maybe? Really all we need is a 20" screen that refreshes >85Hz and doesn't flicker.
 
Well I can't speak for the super high end PJ's but I know mine (an optoma 720p HD which manages a 92'' screen very nicely - and is rated up to 110'') Looking at the manual in my hand in the compatibility table the highest resolution it can handle that is also rated at 85hz is 1280x1024 - but that is analogue only - in fact all the 85hz modes are only in analogue - digital seems restricted to a max of 75hz

This leads me however to another point, get some manuals of some high end projectors dowloaded (pdf) and check out the compatibility modes table (hopefully they will all have them) and see if you can get something that suits your needs

Best of luck and do let us know how you fair.

EDIT - after careful examination mine can do 85hz at a pewny 640x480
