Your article doesn’t mention LFC (Low Framerate Compensation). According to this article, the flicker is caused in part by LFC being triggered. If so, that would explain why your test induces flickering - the shifting frame rate is dropping below the lowest point of the monitor’s VRR range, thereby triggering LFC and causing flickering. Or am I missing something?

You raise a good point. LFC does cause rapid frame rate fluctuations as the monitor goes above and below the level where it’s applicable, and these rapid changes in refresh rate cause VRR flicker to be considerably worse in monitors with VRR flicker issues.

Hey! Thanks for asking Unfortunately, these TVs are no longer available for retest. We either already sold them or they are heavily burnt by our longevity test

But I do not see any VRR-flickering tests in latest TV reviews either. Please, please, please, include this there too!

In my experience, older OLED panels showed significantly less VRR flickering than newer ones. My sold LG 65C9 (where I had the panel replaced twice and also tested VRR flickering on), my current 48C1 and Sony 55A80J all have a very similar, low level of VRR flickering. My 77C2 shows it much more strongly. Unfortunately, I noticed that straight away. Is it possible for you guys to verify this with older displays? Like LG OLED C9, CX, C1, Sony A80J etc? BTW, I only see VRR-scores for monitors. Pls do these tests for TVs too. There are more gamers playing on TVs than monitors.

Would you please add this vrr flicker test in the gaming tv section? I wanna buy a LG b4 oled tv and want to know if it flickers, thanks!

Hey!

Currently, there is no plan of adding the VRR flicker test in the TV review but it can change in the future!

It would also be really cool if you guys could share the custom VRR flicker application, so users can reliably test for flicker on their own units at home.

Right now we don’t have any plans to share our VRR flicker application. That said, we use an image from Cyberpunk 2077, and you can try using other content with dark scenes to see if there’s VRR flicker with changing frame rates. You can also look online to see if there’s other content that people experience VRR flicker with.

Would be great to know whether the flickering is equally bad on both G-Sync and FreeSync or if either one has the upper hand when it comes to it.

Hey, this is something we looked into when we first started testing the VRR flicker on monitors. We found no difference in flicker when using our FreeSync or G-SYNC from our AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
