Topic: Custom resolutions - no need for reclock?

As a way to avoid needing to use reclock (for good reason I want to  I decided to create a custom refresh of 47.952hz (2 x 23.976) since all of my film library is at 23.976 fps.

I set my output to my new refresh rate of 47.952 and confirming in MPC-HC that the refresh rate is working correctly (CTRL-J) I set SVP to do "Movie x 2" and sit back and hope that things were just as smooth as when I ran at 50hz with the same settings and using reclock. It's nowhere near, it's really juddery and something clearly isn't working correctly. I used CRU (custom refresh utility) to carry out the custom refresh settings. What can I be doing wrong?

Ultimately I wanted to set a custom refresh rate of 71.928hz in order to use "Movie x3".

Cheers

Re: Custom resolutions - no need for reclock?

Here is some additional info, including what I set in CRU. What I can say is that even with SVP disabled and the refresh rate set at 47.952hz, viewing 23.976 material is more juddery than when I have my refresh rate set to 23.976. I am assuming there should be no real difference when it's an exact multiple of 23.976. So I don't believe this is a SVP problem.

Re: Custom resolutions - no need for reclock?

I believe this's because the E6's panel itself is always working at 120 Hz regardless of the input settings.


BTW have you ever succeeded to make it switch to HDR mode with madVR?

Re: Custom resolutions - no need for reclock?

Ok, is there any reason I can get it all to work on 50hz with 48fps and reclock doing its thing then? Slightly confused!!

Re: Custom resolutions - no need for reclock?

Hmmm, not sure then... It is just a theory smile

The point is we don't know the actual panel working mode in each case.

Re: Custom resolutions - no need for reclock?

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Having read what you said I did a bit more searching, specifically about the LG OLEDs and CRU and see there are some discussions on AVForums specifically about custom refresh rates. I will further my research there, and see if I can involve Toasty in the discussion. Depending on what I find I may update this thread.
