What's your reaction time?
TheKomodo:
Yeah I'm still getting between 150 and 170 regardless which monitor I use.
I'm guessing if we were to practise it 8 hours a day for a few months we could probably all improve by 20+ms.

CRT screens are actually performing extremely well in terms of refresh-rates and input lag especially for lower resolutions. So if you "upgraded" to a modern LCD it would probably feel worse. When I switched from my old CRT to a high quality EIZO TFT screen back in 2010 roping felt significant worse, but since at the time I already lost interest in W:A it didn't matter that much to me. Vintage doesn't always mean worse/outdated, most often it means more durable and reliable.
Some random facts:
* They break sample and hold blur by having a blanking period between each frame. This improves motion clarity. Black frame insertion and backlight strobing are technologies that try to do this effect in other ways on LCD and OLED displays.
* They have near instant response times like OLED does.
* Due to the way the phosphors work can have a pleasing effect on the image quality at the expense of some sharpness. So old low res games look pretty great on CRTs.
If I were to take W:A/Roping serious again I would buy me a 100$ IBM Model M (and the Wooting for testing) from ebay and an old high quality CRT screen. :)

Live-Stream when Dave? Hahaha, I wanna see you react to it for 8 hours without going insane.
On a serious note, did you make sure each time you swapped your screen that it sets the correct Hz? On Win10 you do this here: Control Panel > Display > Advanced Display Settings

I see that some here are faster than a tesla autodriving to prevent a crash lol

Yep Kai, I've figured out how to use PCs over the past 30 years thanks! :D
Seriously though, I've got both monitors hooked up, the monitor on left is maximum 60hz(It's a 4K DELL), my main one is 165hz, my secondary PC has a 240hz monitor but I couldn't be bothered testing that.
Yeah, I'd go insane after 10 minutes mate let alone 8 hours LOL.
It doesn't surprise me that well known physical scheme players are generally faster. I am however very surprised TheWalrus was so slow, that's BS, he's a damn fast roper when he wants to be so not sure how that happened!
