You skipped the "in a new resolution" part. I'm talking about mode switch time. Change resolutions or swap an input on your monitor and watch it dance for a few seconds trying to "resync" in a digital environment where AT MOST you need to wait through one frame of data to find the right timings.

Yeah, the fact that it's not a single frame but, in fact, like 1 to 3 seconds to switch resolutions is absolutely insane. Trying to watch a PC bios boot on my new-ish monitor is an exercise in frustration—it spends more time off than on!

For some reason most if not all screens even cycle their backlight when switching modes.
