Is there reasonably-priced hardware that can do several hundreds of FPS? Preferably something with a built-in battery and Wi-Fi or bluetooth? I'd really love to build a volumetric 3D display by spinning the thing. I tried spinning my phone but the hardware screen refresh rate was way too low to do anything impressive even if processing power wasn't the bottleneck.



There are a few gaming monitors that can do 200fps. Maybe even 240. I don't think any mobile devices go above 60. Maybe that'll change as mobile VR picks up.


I only such monitor I know of is the Acer Predator Z35, which is advertised as 144Hz but can usually be overclocked to 200Hz. The only "240Hz" LCDs currently available interpolate from lower input refresh rates. I'd love to see a true 240Hz monitor, or even higher.


I believe this is a problem of the signaling as well. Even the new Thunderbolt 3's display mode is still stuck with DisplayPort 1.2 signaling.
