Pi Lag Tester Pro v2.0 released

I haven't had a chance to fully update the product page and manual yet, but I wanted to let everybody know that version 2.0 of the PiLagTesterPRO is now available. 

Hardware

The hardware is unchanged except that it's packaged much more nicely:


Software

The software is the main area of improvement. The main display has a few useful tweaks:



  • The target bars are much wider, allowing you to place the sensor in a single spot still be able to take measurements for both 4:3 and widescreen video modes.
  • The current resolution and refresh rate are printed.
  • The Realtime graph now has tick marks every 10ms.
More generally: 
  • The input lag threshold (5% increase in brightness over baseline) and the response time threshold (80% of full brightness) can now be adjusted interactively to any value you like.
  • You can save a screenshot as a PNG.
  • The background and probe bars can be set to any intensity you want, allowing more comprehensive measurement of response time. 
  • A new tool has been added that measures whether the display's lag varies each time the HDMI inputs are switched on (sometimes known as unlocked refresh rates)

Pi4 support

The piLagTesterPRO now works on the Pi4. Every video mode that the Pi zero supports can be used on the Pi4. And now with the Pi4 it's possible to test 4k resolutions, both 3840x2160 and 4096x2160, at 60hz (and also 50hz, 30hz and 24hz). You can also test lower resolutions at higher refresh rates, I've tested 120hz but in theory 240hz is possible at a significantly reduced resolution.

Panasonic TH-42PX75U Plasma TV review: input lag and upscaling tested using the piLagTesterPRO

Image
This 720p Plasma TV from 2008 is very unique and quite nice in many ways. It used to retail for around $1300. If you can find one it's a great choice for retro gaming.  Overview/Image quality This is a plasma TV, which generally means at least the following: nearly infinite viewing angles, and jaw dropping weight. That's true in this case as well. This 42" model weights 75lbs.  At native resolution (720p) this TV crops 20 pixels off the top/bottom and 30 off the sides. 480p/i crops 20 pixels off all sides. Both modes have aliasing, too, though it's not too bad. There's really no excuse for aliasing on a TV this big: you know the panel was designed specifically to be a tv. Why not hit 720p exactly? And as for 480p/i, they could have at least offered a zoomed out mode with black borders and 1:1 pixel mapping. But no such luck. There are zoom/stretch options to crop even more, but none that crop less. While the native resolution supposedly is 1366 x 768 it does accept...

piLagTester PRO order page

The piLagTesterPRO measures your monitor's input lag and response time. It is a cheap, full featured add-on to the Raspberry Pi; I provide the sensor and required software, you provide the Pi (a $5 pi Zero is more than sufficient). Although it has a DIY aesthetic, it is quite functional and in fact offers quite a lot more features than the commercial alternatives (Leo Bodnar and the Time Sleuth), and has been tested with over 40 TVs, including 4k models .  Here's what it looks like in action: The pi draws a black background, and then roughly once a second displays a set of target rectangles (top/middle/bottom). You place the sensor over the desired target, and the piLagTester measures the monitor's response starting from the moment the frame of video data is sent over the Pi's HDMI port. This is plotted in the graph, which is sideways for space reasons. The lag tester measures two thresholds. In red it shows how long it takes for the monitor to start displaying t...

A $5 TV Input Lag tester using a Raspberry Pi Zero

Image
High speed monitors are all the rage now, with quoted response times  of 1-4ms. But does that mean that 1-4ms after you make an input (say, jump) you will see that on your screen? No. Often a much bigger issue is  Input lag. This is   the delay between your computer / game console sending a video frame to your display and your display starting to actually show it, and it ranges from 4ms to 80ms. The problem with measuring input lag is that you can't, at least with everyday hardware. The solution for hardware review sites is to purchase dedicated lag testers such as the leo bodnar tester,  timesleuth (both ~$100), or the pi lag tester pro ($40) or use homegrown methods utilizing an oscilloscope ("free" if you already own a $400+ oscilloscope and perhaps a $50k+ engineering degree). Here I introduce a $5 solution (or, "free" if you own the required equipment). What's required: A Raspberry Pi Zero ($5 + S&H from several sources). This single b...
