In this guide we covered some of the rationale for creating CRT replacement monitors, and in particular, recreating the scanning illumination pattern that originated with CRT raster scans.
The VIEWPixx /3D has a fast pixel response time, and is ideal for dynamic and high contrast 2D and 3D stimuli with minimal motion blurring.
Similar to the VIEWPixx /3D, the VIEWPixx /EEG provides crisp transitions with minimal blur and is ideal for high contrast or moving displays.
The VIEWPixx /3D also has an onboard data acquisition system and synchronization hub for full experimental control, while the VIEWPixx /EEG has an out-of-the-box digital output triggering system based on Pixel Mode.
