96 FPS Movies
By Jacques Chirac
Losless Scaling also works with hardware accelerated video players (such as VLC, or 5KPlayer for example) !
Most movies run at a fixed 24 FPS and a bump to 96 FPS can be reached with LSFG X4.

Understanding refresh rates
Hz and FPS
Screen refresh rates are expressed in hertz which happen over a second. For example, a 144Hz screen means that all the pixels on the screen will refresh 144 times in a second.

Frames per second or "FPS" on the other hand indicates how many frames your computer can generate in a second.


Example
If your screen has a refresh rate of 144Hz and your media content is running at 75 FPS, it means that every second, your screen will refresh about twice as many times as your framerate.

The refresh rate defines the maximum frames per second your monitor can display to you.
With a 144Hz screen, anything running above 144 FPS may "feel" smoother to play --
But your eyes won't see more than 144 frames per second since your screen cannot refresh itself fast enough to show all those extra frames.

How to enable Lossless Scaling when watching movies
Simply launch your video player, then hit the Lossless Scaling capture hotkey with frame generation on (LSFG) and you're good to go 😊




Here is a list of requirements for the desired output :
  • 60 Hz screen | LSFG X3 | Viewed 60 FPS
  • 75 Hz screen | LSFG X3 | Viewed 72 FPS
  • 144Hz screen | LSFG X4 | Viewed 96 FPS
  • 175Hz screen | LSFG X4 | Viewed 96 FPS
  • Above 175Hz screen | LSFG X4 | Viewed 96 FPS


Thanks again LS !

The better tool for movies would be using SVP, made by the Smooth Video Project. It's better at matching screen refresh rates. Still, this works if it's all you have.

A 144 Hz screen means you'll see the entirety of the 96 FPS with LSFG X4.
