I am a profiteer in Computer City, and my customers are begging me not to go bankrupt?

After hearing the news that Starry Sky Technology announced that it would release a 1080p 144hz monitor, Li Chengmin, the CEO of Four Stars Group, exclaimed, and his face showed panic and fear that he could not suppress at all.

144hz high refresh monitor?

How is this possible? !

Four Stars Group has not yet mastered this technology, and there are even disputes within the group.

Many people in the development team think that why the monitor panel needs such a high refresh rate?

The frame rate of the movie is only 24 frames, and the monitor frame rate can reach 60 frames, which is already very smooth.

More than 60 frames, what is the need?

Because of this, the Four Stars Group has not yet made a conclusion on whether to tackle the problem of high refresh monitors.

But at this time, Starry Sky Technology actually brought out a high refresh monitor? .

What does this mean?

It means that Starry Sky Technology will surpass the Four Stars Group in display technology for at least three to five years!

Fear is spreading in Li Chengmin's heart.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the TV screen with a hideous and distorted expression.

"High refresh monitor?"

"What's the use? What's the use? Isn't it just that the parameters look better? What's the use!"

"I don't believe that Starry Sky Technology's display technology can really surpass our Four Stars Group!"

"This is impossible!"

Richard, who was in the box, looked at Li Chengmin's performance, and his depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

It felt like when you are unlucky, you suddenly find that the brother next to you who is gloating is almost the same as you, and the feeling gets better all of a sudden.

At this time, many viewers at the Starry Sky Technology exhibition and in front of the TV were also confused about the high refresh monitor that Shen Langbai mentioned, and had no idea at all.

After all, even netizens who frequently surf the Internet at this time only have some understanding of hardware such as processors and hard disks, but they know nothing about monitors.

Not to mention that there are a large number of people who are not even computer users at the Star Technology Annual Exhibition.

Even many people can't tell which is the main body of the computer, the host or the monitor. It is really a bit of a luxury to expect them to understand the meaning of high refresh.

Therefore, Shen Langbai first took out a stack of A4 paper and demonstrated it to the audience.

He first showed the audience the situation of the stack of A4 paper in his hand. Some of the A4 papers were blank, and some were printed with a little tiger.

Then, Shen Langbai quickly turned the pages of the stack of A4 paper.

Whether it was the audience at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they all exclaimed.

The reason is that when the A4 paper is turned quickly, people can actually see the little tiger printed on it running.

Shen Langbai explained.

"This is why animations, movies, etc. seem to move.”

“Each frame is static, but after outputting multiple frames quickly, it looks like a dynamic picture.”

“And we just saw that there are still many blank pages in this stack of A4 paper, which means that the frame rate is not high enough. Although the little tiger on the A4 paper is moving, it looks very jerky and not smooth.”

“Then let’s change a stack of A4 paper with more pictures to see…”

Then, Shen Langbai changed a stack of A4 paper. In this stack of A4 paper, the number of papers with little tigers printed on them increased significantly.

After turning the pages quickly again, the running animation of the little tiger was displayed, and the movement was obviously much smoother than before.

After finishing this demonstration, Shen Langbai smiled.

“This is the difference between high-refresh monitors and low-refresh monitors.”

“When the computer performance is sufficient to render so many frames, a high-refresh monitor can make the picture extremely smooth and silky. ”

After listening to Shen Langbai’s in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation, the audience suddenly understood and had a concept of high refresh and low refresh monitors.

Soon after, Shen Langbai asked the staff to bring up a 1080p144hz high refresh monitor that he had prepared.

When he traveled through time in his previous life, a monitor of this specification could have been sold at a very low price.

You can buy one for about 300 yuan!

Of course, apart from the high refresh rate, this monitor can be said to have no advantages.

|= |

The brightness is not high enough, the color gamut and color accuracy are a mess, and the light leakage problem is serious...

But that is compared with the products of the same period.

But in this parallel world, even 1080p monitors are still rare. Sorry, the worst parameters of this kind of rubbish monitor are still quite good now!

Shen Langbai connected this monitor to a new Titan computer, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Let all users see the display effect of high-refresh monitors in the game."

"Flagship-level graphics cards like GTX690 can only play to their full potential when paired with high-refresh monitors. ”

As Shen Langbai spoke, the high-refresh monitor was lit up and also entered the Crysis game.

Two monitors with the same 1080p resolution but refresh rates of 60hz and 144hz were placed side by side, showing the same content to the audience.

And this made the audience gasp and could hardly believe their eyes.

Earlier, when they watched Crysis on the 1080p60hz screen, they felt it was as smooth as silk and the display effect was shocking.

But now, the picture that amazed them before, placed next to the picture on the high-refresh monitor, seems particularly stiff.

The pouring raindrops seem intermittent in comparison, with an obvious sense of stuttering.

And on the high-refresh monitor next to it,It was really raining heavily, and even the traces of lightning across the sky seemed clearer!

It can be said that as long as the eyes are not damaged, you can tell which monitor has a smoother picture!

At this moment, the eyes of Crysis players were all burning.

"Fuck, how can this be done?!"

"Is this the same game as mine? It's unbearable to watch, really unbearable to watch!"

"This picture is so smooth, enjoyable!"

"Just watching the rainy night in the novice level is so cool, I can't imagine how cool the experience of this high-refresh monitor will be when flying over the eaves and walls and fierce gun battles in the future!"

"Oh no, the monitor released by Boss Shen really hits my heart. I was going to buy a GTX690 graphics card, but now it seems that if I don't buy this monitor at the same time, then this graphics card will be bought in vain!"

"Buy, buy, buy, must buy, if you play this kind of shooting game in the future without a high-refresh monitor, can it still be called playing games?!"

In the box on the side of the industry summit, the expression of Li Chengmin, the president of the Four Star Consortium, became more and more gloomy and twisted, and he gritted his teeth and said disdainfully.

"Isn't it that the difference can only be shown when playing games?"

"It's so exaggerated, how many people really play games?"

"Even this requires a graphics card like GTX690 to play its full performance, and even fewer people will buy it."

"You want to shake our Four Star Consortium with this? Dream on!"

But the next moment, Shen Langbai ended the game demonstration, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to the audience.

"I think everyone will think that high-refresh monitors have significant advantages when playing games, but I don't play games, so don't I need high refresh at all?"

"In fact, this idea is wrong."

"The advantages brought by high refresh, as long as you use a computer, as long as you look at the monitor, you will definitely be able to clearly perceive it."

"For example, we are all on the desktop now, slide the mouse, and you can see the difference."

Immediately, the images on both monitors returned to the desktop.

Shen Langbai slid the mouse a few times casually.

The audience below the stage let out a series of low exclamations.

Because they found that the mouse movement on the high-refresh monitor was obviously smoother, which made people feel comfortable.

On the low-refresh monitor, there was a kind of stuck feeling, which made people feel a little disgusted by the comparison.

Shen Langbai opened Notepad, Excel and other office scenes again. Whether it was inputting text or operating tables, everyone could clearly feel the smooth experience brought by the high-refresh monitor.

Those users who don't play games were also moved when they saw such performance.

"I didn't pay attention to the performance of games before. I don't like playing games. I use computers because the unit is now popularizing information-based office work.I started to make computer spreadsheets.

"To be honest, every time I make spreadsheets and write documents, I feel a headache and annoyed."

"But just now I saw the performance of this high-refresh monitor. Damn, it feels so good to move the mouse and relieve stress."

"After changing to such a monitor, I feel that my mood at work can be improved."

"Change, must change, workers should be better to themselves!"

And then, Shen Langbai made another lore, which hit the hearts of many users hard.

"In addition to these scenes, for those who like to watch football games and various sports, or even watch animations, TV series or movies, high-refresh monitors also have obvious advantages."

"For example, we are now playing a video of the World Cup live. Although the original signal source is 60hz, through the playback software that our Star Technology will give away for free with the monitor, the frame rate can be increased to 120 frames by interpolating frames. ”

“And the change brought by this is the ultimate smooth experience.”

“Animations, TV series, movies, etc. can all be inserted through our Star Technology playback software to increase the frame rate, and then play the advantages of high refresh monitors to make the picture smoother than ever before.”

“Even if you don’t watch any dynamic images, just browse forums and read novels, when you scroll down and turn pages, the high refresh rate will make your eyes particularly happy! ”

As Shen Langbai introduced, all the audience opened their eyes wide and their breathing became rapid.

Especially the fans who were watching the live broadcast, their eyes were shining.

Just because of that World Cup video last year, many of them had almost watched it too many times, but they never thought that one day it would become so smooth and fluent?

Is this the same thing as what I am watching?

On such a high-refresh monitor, every movement and every pass of the players is simply a visual feast!

"Fuck, I can tolerate other things, but I really can't tolerate this... 0"

"It's so cool!"

"I must buy this high-refresh monitor. I can watch all my classic football game videos on this monitor again. It's absolutely cool. ”

“Damn, last year’s World Cup, I had a few rich colleagues who went to watch it live. I don’t have the financial resources, but I still have the money to buy a computer and a monitor. Rounding it off, this is pretty smooth, almost the same as going to the scene!”

At this moment, under Shen Langbai’s layers of preparation, it can be said that the concept of high-refresh monitors has become a hit and has become the favorite of many gamers and football fans.

Even those who bought Jingfang monitors before may not be able to resist buying another high-refresh monitor.

Demand is created in this way!

At the industry summit, Li Chengmin’s expression was already ferocious to a certain extent, and he couldn’t help but put the technical staff who followed himThe technical team leader called him to the box and immediately scolded him.

"Useless, you are all useless!"

"When we were discussing whether it was necessary to tackle the high refresh rate technology, what did all of you say?"

"Everyone said it was unnecessary and had no effect. I really believed your lies!"

"Ah? Look, is there no effect? ​​Is it unnecessary?"

"How can they talk so well and make people who only type and work buy a high refresh rate monitor? Why can't you think of it?"

"Useless, all useless!"

The head of the display technology team of the Four Stars Group was scolded so much that he knelt down and apologized according to the Korean tradition.

Then he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought of a way to make up for it.

"Chairman, we did neglect the high refresh rate, but Shen Langbai also exaggerated it."

"The scenes he mentioned are nothing more than looking smoother, and many of them have to be achieved through software interpolation."

"The biggest use of this display device is to watch movies. In this regard, our Four Stars Group is still the best in the world."

"After all, according to my observation, the monitor released by Star Technology is IPS technology, otherwise it cannot achieve high refresh rate. Since it is IPS, the contrast has a natural disadvantage."

"In terms of watching movies, it cannot compare with the monitor that our Four Stars Group is going to release."

"So as long as we grasp this point, we can still be invincible."

Hearing the words of the technical director, Li Chengmin's anger finally subsided slowly.

Indeed, the gimmick of high refresh rate is indeed tempting, and Shen Langbai also demonstrated the advantages of high refresh rate very well.

But for display devices that are mainly used for watching movies, contrast is the most important thing.

The contrast of IPS monitors is only one thousand to one at best, but the average level of VA monitors is three thousand to one.

Not to mention that the monitor of the Four Stars Group was polished very carefully in order to shock the world. They also bought many Jingfang monitors from Star Technology for research and spent half a year polishing it.

This contrast has exceeded three thousand to one and reached nearly five thousand to one!

Thinking of this, Li Chengmin also calmed down.

1.4

"That's right, there's nothing to panic about."

"High refresh rate is just a gimmick, and those who are attracted by Shen Langbai's high refresh rate monitor are just some users who like to try new things."

"Our Four Star Consortium's monitor will still be the first choice for mainstream moviegoers!"

But Li Chengmin didn't know.

He knew that high refresh rate was just a gimmick, but Shen Langbai didn't know it?

Will Shen Langbai only intend to attract a part of the users?

NoWell, Shen Langbai has always wanted as many users as he has.

The purpose of launching a high refresh monitor is to promote the concept of high refresh, so that it can be updated and iterated from generation to generation in the future.

And for those users who are not impressed by high refresh, especially movie watchers, Shen Langbai has naturally prepared a killer.

For movie watchers, the higher the contrast, the better, which is of course good.

But in addition to contrast, there is another point that touches these users more, that is - size!

Big is good, good is big!

In this era, 24-inch monitors can be said to be huge, and monitors larger than this are hard to find.

Even TVs don't have a size larger than 24 inches!

But the other monitor that Shen Langbai prepared this time was...

"It is designed for movie watching and large-screen office users. It is a movie watching tool, a stock trading tool, an office tool, and even has a reserved TV signal interface, so it can be used as a TV..."

"32-inch ultra-large screen monitor!"

Shen Langbai's voice spread from the screen.

Li Chengmin's face relaxed a little, but it tensed up again in an instant.

He stared at the head of the technical team.

"What do you think about this?"

The technical director opened his mouth and knelt on the ground helplessly, with only one thought in his mind.

"Fuck you..."

"Starry Sky Technology, Shen Langbai, I beg you, can you give me a way out!".
