Fluidity Comparison (Hz vs Latency)

Visual Professional Insights

  • Ultra-smooth motion detected. Ghosting will be minimal on modern OLED/IPS panels.
  • DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 is required to sustain this specific bandwidth load.

About the Frame Rate calculator

Estimate the bandwidth needed for a video signal from the frame rate, resolution and colour depth.

How to use the Frame Rate calculator

  1. Enter the Frame Rate (FPS), Resolution, Color Depth and Chroma Subsampling.
  2. Choose the Compression (DSC) option and press Calculate.

Formula and method

Uncompressed data rate = width Ă— height Ă— bits per pixel Ă— frame rate.

Tips

  • Higher resolution, frame rate and bit depth all raise the data rate.
  • Compression reduces the rate at a small cost in quality.

Frequently asked questions

What is chroma subsampling?
Storing less colour detail than brightness detail to save bandwidth, as in 4:2:0 or 4:2:2.
