While for most single player games it doesn't matter, I immediately notice the difference when jumping down from 240 to 120 on Samsung Neo G7 while playing Overwatch. Anything below 120hz is unpleasant to play for competitive gaming.
@@Reav001 so true. You feel 60hz just fine until the moment you spoil yourself with high refresh rate, and then when you go back 60hz looks like trash. On top of that going up is not actually noticable, only going back down.
Hard disagree on that 60hz isn't really that different from 120hz or 144hz. There has been times in the past (maybe due to a Windows update or something else) where my monitor reset to default refresh rate of 60hz. I'll join a game and within the first 5 seconds I can immediately notice the much higher delay from 60hz. If you've used 120hz+, reverting back to 60hz feels absolutely atrocious. At least for me, as a competitive FPS player, 60hz is damn near unusable.
I definitely seen an increase in performance when I switched from 60-120hz then again when I switched from 120-144hz so I'd conclude that more hz could be what you need to pass your skill level threshold in certain games.
I used to have 10 years old bad 60hz monitor, I upgraded it to 180hz and its massive difference, 170/180hz which is pretty common on more budget gaming displays isnt ever talked about and I dont know why
Yes it's no waste. It can help you be more competi, but won't make you a pro. Still 165hz is now the sweet spot. I don't mind playing at that speed only.

That's the exact same question I'm having as I'm planning to build a quite beastly PC. I don't know if I want 1440p with less hz or the opposite@@ZanIsRolling
As someone who mainly plays shooters on a 280hz TN and who has a 540hz TN on my watchlist, 144Hz is satisfactory, I don't feel like I'm at a disadvantage versus other players. I want more Hz simply because higher Hz monitors tend to have a lower response time. I tried a 390hz IPS and it looked smoother, but blurrier than my TN. (I like motion clarity more than anything else). Before someone suggests a BenQ monitor, I hate DyAc and any other form of BFI, and it's the only thing those BenQ monitors have going for them. It'll take a long time until the current OLED's text clarity and burn-in issues get addressed so, I'm rooting for IPS to get clearer. Currently, I have to rely on my secondary 75hz IPS screen for media consumption.
I'm not really a competitive gamer, so decided to sell my 240Hz 1440p 27" IPS in favor of my new 120Hz 4K LG C2 42" OLED. I'll take infinite contrast, instant pixel response, and great HDR over an extra 120Hz refresh all day long. I can barely tell the difference in daily use. Overall, the C2 is a significantly more versatile screen, and I can still game at relatively high refresh rate if I get an itch to play.
Anybody have experience regarding difference between 240 hz vs. 144 hz in desktop, web browsing, office applications and other software? Is the mouse pointer more smooth in 240 vs 144 hz? Not focusing on gaming in my question =) Thank you for any input/answer! Br //M
im a 43 year old gamer i have been gaming from the age of 5. I can tell you this. The stable frametimes are more important than high framerate with stutter. I have a 1440p 240hz Gsync monitor but i always cap all my games at 120fps. Why ? It feels and plays smoother than the constant changing fps 128-187-201-143-138 = stutter hell. a constant 120 fps on a 240hz = smooth so smooth you will get annoyed with higher inconsistent frametimes and framedrops.
Would you say this all applies equally if you’re going to use this monitor for office work purposes as well? Only reason I’m considering 4K is for the potential better text view, like excel, outlook, etc, but idk if this is truly accurate/noticeable.
I'm in the last phase of my upgrade cycle and am looking at replacing my 1080p 170hz monitor. I now have an rtx4080 paired with a ryzen7 7700x cpu. Trying to decide if I should go with 1440p 240hz or 4k 160hz monitor in the 27-23" range. Considering: MSI G274QPX, Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR, or Gigabyte M27U. I primarily play COD, so the 240 refresh rate is very appealing to me. But I do also enjoy playing AAA single player titles (CP2077, Alan Wake2, etc.) So that's the primary argument for 4k. I probably spend 2/3 of my time playing COD and the remaining time playing single player games. Is 4k worth sacrificing the higher refresh rate? I know there are 4k 240hz displays out now, but out of my price range.
@@Almeidahuh well now that the news 240hz 4k qd-oled monitors have dropped, especially the msi one at 850, I think it's going to be pushing the prices of others down. So still waiting a bit. I noticed the Asus xg27aqmr 1440p 300hz is down to $550...
@@Almeidahuh also I'm pretty much decided going with a higher quality 1440p display vs a mid or entry 4k. I jist don't think I'm going to be happy playing any games on sub 100hz RR and as new games come out they are only going to be more demanding. Didn't buy a 4080 to be lowering graphics settings to medium to get the frame rate I want. Like if I end up only getting ~75 fps on gta6 when it comes out bc I have a 4k, im gonna be dissatisfied I think. Still gonna go to best buy or somewhere similar and try and look at a 4k and 1440p display side by to see if I'm blown away by the difference. But I kinda doubt it.
@Rustydude2030 I'm in the same boat as you. Supposedly Nvidia DLSS was made for that exact scenario though, I.e. playing on high resolution monitor but boosting frames. Have you had any more thoughts or experiences on the topic? I'm considering purchasing a 4k 240hz monitor but currently my pc is underpowered and awaiting an upgrade. I am on an i7 7700k and 3060ti. It's doing the job fine now on UWQHD but only at 100hz. I want to upgrade my monitor but wait until the 5090 comes out, I just don't know if upgrading the monitor now is going to cause me such bad fps at 4k that it will be a worse experience. Maybe dlss will save me though
@@eg8568 I went with Asus xg27aqmr 1440/300hz. Pretty happy with it. Mostly I think I would have been unhappy with 4k and lower frames tbh. On COD im not even hitting 300 fps on medium settings, probably 220-240avg. I'm sure if I went 4k I'd be running at lowish settings to hit 200+ fps which I wouldn't like. Didn't buy a nice monitor to play of low settings. Unless you have or are planning to buy a 4090 or similar next gen 4k 240 just isn't realistic, unless using upscaling like dlss of course. Which I prefer to run native. Another thing to consider is the scaling is noticeable. I would def have to use the windows scaling to increase "zoom" for desktop stuff with 4k on 27". Looking back on it now, if I was going to go 4k I would definitely go 32".
just use it as your secondary monitor so you'll be able to switch back between the two when you need higher frames for FPS games or when playing a single player game but want a better picture quality
Are you serious? Of course not. You already have 165hz and you seriously want to go back to 1080p just so you can get more hz. WTF is the conclusion in this video anyway "you should try". Everything above 144 or eve 120 is minimal if at all noticeable. The huge jump is from 60 to 120/144 that is where the real advantage lies. Nobody needs 240hz its all big numbers to get fools to buy sh1t.
Forgive me but I don't understand, in a competitive online game if you're lucky you can have 20ms latency, 20ms means that your opponent's position will be updated with a frequency of 50fps even if your monitor is capable of managing 1000fps, where is the advantage?
1. smoothness 2. timings. if you had 50fps and enemy positions are updated with 50fps, those won't happen at the same time. so when you get a new enemy position update, you need to wait for the next frame, and with less fps it takes more time. so it takes more time for you to see things. and it also fluctuates more
@@yes-69 I agree but, considering the specificity of the question, for smoothness I thought foose was implicit at least as regards what was processed locally and for single player games. For the second point, which is very true, the higher the frame rate the higher the probability of intercepting the enemy's position when it is updated (this thing is very useful in close combat), it is also true that this is a good advantage if you go from 60Hz to 144Hz, but from 144 to 240 you are within the order of 2/3 ms and the higher you go the worse the situation becomes. The question was provocative, because the creators show us monitors at 480Hz or more, showing us the slomo in detail of the position for a single frame when they are playing on screen with 20ms of latency!
I believe higher frame rates have advantages in terms of lower input lag and smoother motion, especially for multiplayer competitive gaming. However, for most single-player games, the benefits may not be worth the additional resources required. Ultimately, it depends on personal preference and the specific game being played.
@@AutonovaAI How do you like the g7? Thinking about getting the 27" for $530. It supposedly has very solid response times unlike many VA panels. Thanks!
170hz 2k is the sweet spot for fps and triple A games. Its not 240hz but its only around 1-1.5 ms slower which you'll barely notice. I used to own the benq xl2546k 240hz and i switched to gigabyte m27q ver2 , it felt the same tbh but pixels were so much better on 2k monitor which made me play better

@@metincanballi i mean, if its within your budget and your pc can handle it, go for 240hz 1440p. The gigabyte m27q is good too, id recommend it to anyone with a limited budget.
After 120 htz there is split. Either you get more FPS with average brightness and fake HDR or deeper contrast with True HDR. If you want both then OLED is the only option @1000 USD
Exactly it's obvious only gonna get better like with the ps5 pro ray tracing there just gonna keep upgrading it a lol bit like the next xbox with prob do lik 144 180 just guessing but I think they'll just keep doin that
Buy the highest refresh rate monitor you can. I visit my friend, he have 240hz va panel and i have 165hz ips in home. Gaming experience on his monitor was insanely better, it was very smooth. And it's not because of fps or smth, we have 340-370 fps both
For single player games, 120 fps is enough, the difference from 60 to 120 fps is very noticeable. Diminishing returns above 120 fps, maybe frame generation for 240 fps.
I've seen on TH-cam where a couple of pro-gamers tested the difference and you can definitely tell the difference especially in first person shooters...!!
I have a 240hz 27" monitor. I have it set to 120hz, the image is so much cleaner and smoother. Of course 240hz is a bit faster but it's hardly noticeable to me. Each to their own.
for fps games, you IMMEDIATELY feel the difference between 60hz and 144hz. What about 240? IF you are used to 144 and get a chance to try 240, you will also notice seeing enemies swinging much more comfortably.
240 is noticable over 120/144. I couldn't play 60 anymore even if you pay me. I think 240 is actually the sweetspot, but we have 360 Hz with ULMB2 o n the horizon to give a big boost to motion clarity (which is the main reason to go higher in refreshrates, for fast paced games). Perhaps i might jump on a ULMB2 OLED when such hits mainstream, but i am happy with my 240 now and wouldn't wanna miss it.
lol 240 is the sweetspot as if there were millions of other monitors aobve 240 hz. U make it sound like theres 1000hz monitors hahahhahahahaha chill my dude 240 is in no way shape or or form a sweetspot, only YOUR personal preference haha ( or i guess the "sweetspot" for u which is basically one of the highest refresh rates we have currently available anyways haha)
@@MaymunLega It really depends on the games you play and what kind of graphics card you have. There are games that can't reach more than 200 with some details enabled, even if you have a 4090. Partially because of system bottlenecks, partially because many game engines are garbage. So buying anything above 240hz has to be reconsidered. However, there is active development to go towards 360hz and even 500hz. Then there is new tech by Nvidia that pushes motion clarity even further, but works only 360hz, etc... making such monitors mandatory, if you want/need that. My point was: If you are not about such esport games, or dont have the system to even reach past 240, then a 240hz Monitor is indeed the sweetspot, albeit being "high end" by todays standards, you gotta consider the developments in the Monitor market (oled, mini-led, 500hz). I believe by the end of 2024 the 360hz Monitors will be what enthusiasts will be after, and everyone else grabbing the 240s, which will come down in price by then.
when you move your mouse fast the background gets way clearer the higher you go dunno where is the limit when you can see perfectly but probly 300 fps yeah
for me 60hz vs 120hz is a insane different. 120 VS 165-180hz is a big difference too but only if you play on both in recent time. 60hz feel too blurry and laggy. I sugguest to go 144hz or higher for FPS games. 240Hz is the highest you need!
People never talk about this regards to singleplayer games. Anything over 120hz is overkill for sinlgeplayer games. And that's because single player games are designed for either 30 or 60 gps, with some improvements going up to the next tier refresh rate. But any refresh rate abive that next step I find super overkill. Fir exmaple: FF7 Remake was clearly designed to be run at 30 fps, gets a massive boost going to 60 but feels stupid going to 120. But no singleplayer game I'm aware of has really been built around 120fps to where 240hz feels necessary.
this! I was wondering about this. 240Hz+ seems really only useful for competitive players where in games like CSGO/ etc that u can get +400 fps that will matter at all. For SP players 120 Hz is probably much enough as we like graphics and those games cant either be pushed much above 100 fps if Im aware (unless u have a master race pc maybe)
Higher end refresh rates are only design to part you with your dollars. If everyone was satisfied with what they had, they would not sell enough new stuff, so they have to tempt you with the new prize. Doesn't matter if it's needed or not.

Average human reaction time is 250ms. With training this can typically get down to 200ms. Gamers as a subset may have higher reaction times because of extensive training, usually from an early age. God gamers would have reaction times of 150ms or less. So monitor refresh rate can be thought of as percentage error on your reaction time. So the better you are, the more refresh rate matters. Let's say you are the best gamer in the world at 100ms reaction time. That means 144hz gives you 8% error! That's huge. But for the average gamer it gives 4%. I would argue that is likely still statistically relevant in performance advantage, but how much does performance advantage matter to the average gamer? They just want to have fun experience and will never compete with a god gamer on any screen. So then it is a question of being noticeable. I think the noticeable vs $$$ equation does not make sense above 144hz for the average gamer or especially ~170hz, which goes for about the same.
It’s very strange how 144 or 180 isn’t as much of a difference to 240 yet 60 to 100 is a 40 fps difference, 144 to 240 is 96 numbers, and 180 to 240 is 50. Shouldn't technically 144 to 240 show the biggest difference to 240?
If you play at 144hz and go to 240hz you can get worse at the game at first as you adjust to less input lag. but once you get mussel memory to higher refresh rate you will get much better than you could at 144hz. Its not just the screen there must be no frame dips in the game only set the fps to the max of what your pc put out don't let it jump around in frame rate. I use msi afterburner frame timing in the graph form in my top corner its shows dips and input lag then adjust settings to hit the 240hz consistently. You can't learn how to aim better if your lead time on shots are allover the place with frame dips. if you run 500hz the frame dips mix together with the rest so they don't matter as much as they would at 144hz. Cpu and ram speed is very important to frame consistency
I think that for people especially on budget where their fps might not go over 200, 170 or 180 might be a sweet spot, majority of people play on 144hz (I think?) so you will slight have advantage against them, also I dont think you can feel too much difference when you go over 200hz, then games the "input lag" I think you are just fine with 1ms latency 170/180hz against higher refresh rates because I doubt they get much advantage on most games, might be wrong but in the end depending what you play
And also PC. Just a grotesque display of subjective tasted “on controller” The evidence is as clear as 120 fps > 60 fps on any peripheral that drives you. Just future reviewing advice.
no they are not competitive games. 240hz is for people looking for that extra edge in competitive gaming. You're better getting a 144hz monitor at 1440p for better graphics quality
Got 165hz fast IPS monitor, I can see the difference up to 120fps. 120fps to 165fps? i can't see the difference, but may feel the difference sometimes. Don't have 240hz monitor, i guess the difference is even smaller 165hz to 240hz.
The main thing we want is lower input lag. Which is provided by higher HZ monitors. So yeah, we absolutely want 240 HZ. And even 360 HZ if ever possible.
I became a pro for honor player 3 weeks ago. I play on 280hz monitor (overclocked from 240hz) Im always positive for 240hz monitor or above no matter what reason you play for. Sure you can be succesful with a 144hz monitor or below. Long story short, the better setup, the higher are the chances that you will be good at the game. Not guaranteed though Even if you are just casual and want to vibe in a game and press some buttons, i would still go for a 240hz monitor cause it’s just smoother and better experience overall. Unless you don’t have the money for it, cause then it’s a different story
@@lawbringer9857 the game is not dead and we are a big playerbase now, specially since crossplay became a thing, we just had the biggest tourny with the prizepool of 2500$ for the final qualifiers and 5000$ for closed grandfinal
The fact that some people think 4 milliseconds is going to make them a better gamer is completely absurd. Tells me all I need to know about people who talk about having a higher frame rate than 144hz. 120hz the most you'll ever need.
These days we dont have technology that can pass 6ms response time in any modern TN, VA or IPS panel (excluding OLED) that means everything around 160-170hz is pure wasted, there is no any benefits beyond that, but thanks to companies and theirs mastered bla bla marketing especialy theirs 1ms response time stickers on monitors, lots people belive that 240hz and over are better and better.
My friend has a 120Hz monitor and I have a 75Hz. Sometimes he beats me in a game, sometimes I beat him. I dont notice a difference when I go to his house and see his monitor.
Its because he isnt on 120Hz.. when you get a new monitor its default is 60Hz! I promise the difference between 75 and 120 is crazy!! Even 90 to 120fps is a lot different. I can see a slight difference between 120 and 144 but it isnt as much as comparing 75 to 120. I have also seen 240 before and it does feel slightly smoother than 144 but 240hz feels the same as 180 to be honest. I personally think 144 and 180 is the sweet spot! 180hz is literally 240hz on energy saver mode lol
I made the mistake of playing on my Friends 240 hz monitor. Can't enjoy comp FPS anymore. Going from 60hz to 240hz in the same Elo literally felt like playing against Bots. The most difference i've noticed in 1o1 fights. Sideways tracking became incredibly easy. With 60, i usually kinda predicted movement.
people use streteched 4:3 1280x960 for even lower ms input lag don't listen to this guy, depending on your build it might be viable if you are struggling you get more fps lower latency
Get real, only a handful of people can take advantage of anything above 120hz lol 95-99% of us doesn't have or will never reach that skill level. Always go for picture quality first, then next is stable consistent frames. 4k 60, or 1440p 60+ to 144hz a little headroom is ok

I want more Hz simply because higher Hz monitors tend to have a lower response time. I tried a 390hz IPS and it looked smoother, but blurrier than my TN. (I like motion clarity more than anything else). Before someone suggests a BenQ monitor, I hate DyAc and any other form of BFI, and it's the only thing those BenQ monitors have going for them.
It'll take a long time until the current OLED's text clarity and burn-in issues get addressed so, I'm rooting for IPS to get clearer. Currently, I have to rely on my secondary 75hz IPS screen for media consumption.
i like my aw2724dm

No need for 240 Hz if you can't reach 240 fps LUL
I'm not really a competitive gamer, so decided to sell my 240Hz 1440p 27" IPS in favor of my new 120Hz 4K LG C2 42" OLED. I'll take infinite contrast, instant pixel response, and great HDR over an extra 120Hz refresh all day long. I can barely tell the difference in daily use. Overall, the C2 is a significantly more versatile screen, and I can still game at relatively high refresh rate if I get an itch to play.
I’m thinking about doing the same thing for mine. Where’d u sell and for how much
And now you get like 10ms of input lag
@slasd1440 You'd like to believe I was having a high input latency experience when paired with a 4090. Sad to say, that has no basis in reality.
if you want to watch movies or do content creation then good decision if you are a casual gamer and play fps games then i wouldn’t recommend
u are not a competitive gamer. for casual campain games.. great upgrade, to competitive, its a downgrade, or if u want to see movies..
stretching the image is not for the more wide look on targets but rather the boost on fps you get, making aiming much easier
Anybody have experience regarding difference between 240 hz vs. 144 hz in desktop, web browsing, office applications and other software?
Is the mouse pointer more smooth in 240 vs 144 hz?
Not focusing on gaming in my question =)
Thank you for any input/answer!
Br //M
yup, 240 hz is smoother.
im a 43 year old gamer i have been gaming from the age of 5. I can tell you this.
The stable frametimes are more important than high framerate with stutter.
I have a 1440p 240hz Gsync monitor but i always cap all my games at 120fps. Why ?
It feels and plays smoother than the constant changing fps 128-187-201-143-138 = stutter hell.
a constant 120 fps on a 240hz = smooth so smooth you will get annoyed with higher inconsistent frametimes and framedrops.
Would you say this all applies equally if you’re going to use this monitor for office work purposes as well?
Only reason I’m considering 4K is for the potential better text view, like excel, outlook, etc, but idk if this is truly accurate/noticeable.

I'm in the last phase of my upgrade cycle and am looking at replacing my 1080p 170hz monitor. I now have an rtx4080 paired with a ryzen7 7700x cpu. Trying to decide if I should go with 1440p 240hz or 4k 160hz monitor in the 27-23" range. Considering: MSI G274QPX, Asus ROG Strix XG27AQMR, or Gigabyte M27U. I primarily play COD, so the 240 refresh rate is very appealing to me. But I do also enjoy playing AAA single player titles (CP2077, Alan Wake2, etc.) So that's the primary argument for 4k. I probably spend 2/3 of my time playing COD and the remaining time playing single player games. Is 4k worth sacrificing the higher refresh rate? I know there are 4k 240hz displays out now, but out of my price range.
I'm having this exact question at the moment. Which one did you go for and how has your experience been?
@@Almeidahuh well now that the news 240hz 4k qd-oled monitors have dropped, especially the msi one at 850, I think it's going to be pushing the prices of others down. So still waiting a bit. I noticed the Asus xg27aqmr 1440p 300hz is down to $550...
@@Almeidahuh also I'm pretty much decided going with a higher quality 1440p display vs a mid or entry 4k. I jist don't think I'm going to be happy playing any games on sub 100hz RR and as new games come out they are only going to be more demanding. Didn't buy a 4080 to be lowering graphics settings to medium to get the frame rate I want. Like if I end up only getting ~75 fps on gta6 when it comes out bc I have a 4k, im gonna be dissatisfied I think. Still gonna go to best buy or somewhere similar and try and look at a 4k and 1440p display side by to see if I'm blown away by the difference. But I kinda doubt it.
@Rustydude2030 I'm in the same boat as you. Supposedly Nvidia DLSS was made for that exact scenario though, I.e. playing on high resolution monitor but boosting frames. Have you had any more thoughts or experiences on the topic? I'm considering purchasing a 4k 240hz monitor but currently my pc is underpowered and awaiting an upgrade. I am on an i7 7700k and 3060ti. It's doing the job fine now on UWQHD but only at 100hz. I want to upgrade my monitor but wait until the 5090 comes out, I just don't know if upgrading the monitor now is going to cause me such bad fps at 4k that it will be a worse experience. Maybe dlss will save me though
@@eg8568 I went with Asus xg27aqmr 1440/300hz. Pretty happy with it. Mostly I think I would have been unhappy with 4k and lower frames tbh. On COD im not even hitting 300 fps on medium settings, probably 220-240avg. I'm sure if I went 4k I'd be running at lowish settings to hit 200+ fps which I wouldn't like. Didn't buy a nice monitor to play of low settings. Unless you have or are planning to buy a 4090 or similar next gen 4k 240 just isn't realistic, unless using upscaling like dlss of course. Which I prefer to run native. Another thing to consider is the scaling is noticeable. I would def have to use the windows scaling to increase "zoom" for desktop stuff with 4k on 27". Looking back on it now, if I was going to go 4k I would definitely go 32".
I have a 1440p 165hz monitor right now and I was looking at a 240hz but its in 1080p is it worth it?
just use it as your secondary monitor so you'll be able to switch back between the two when you need higher frames for FPS games or when playing a single player game but want a better picture quality
Are you serious? Of course not. You already have 165hz and you seriously want to go back to 1080p just so you can get more hz. WTF is the conclusion in this video anyway "you should try". Everything above 144 or eve 120 is minimal if at all noticeable. The huge jump is from 60 to 120/144 that is where the real advantage lies. Nobody needs 240hz its all big numbers to get fools to buy sh1t.
Forgive me but I don't understand, in a competitive online game if you're lucky you can have 20ms latency, 20ms means that your opponent's position will be updated with a frequency of 50fps even if your monitor is capable of managing 1000fps, where is the advantage?
1. smoothness
2. timings. if you had 50fps and enemy positions are updated with 50fps, those won't happen at the same time. so when you get a new enemy position update, you need to wait for the next frame, and with less fps it takes more time. so it takes more time for you to see things. and it also fluctuates more
@@yes-69 I agree but, considering the specificity of the question, for smoothness I thought foose was implicit at least as regards what was processed locally and for single player games.
For the second point, which is very true, the higher the frame rate the higher the probability of intercepting the enemy's position when it is updated (this thing is very useful in close combat), it is also true that this is a good advantage if you go from 60Hz to 144Hz, but from 144 to 240 you are within the order of 2/3 ms and the higher you go the worse the situation becomes.
The question was provocative, because the creators show us monitors at 480Hz or more, showing us the slomo in detail of the position for a single frame when they are playing on screen with 20ms of latency!
@@ilKamuTube yeah diminishing returns
Got a question what if i have a steady 180 fps but im running 240 hz i know im not reaching 240 so is it better to switch back to 144? or am i wrong.

what is the shooting game he's playing in this video (besides the overwatch)?
Oled 120 or Oled 144 being the sweet spot is there is such a thing?
Stable frames with frame rate limiter is best
I believe higher frame rates have advantages in terms of lower input lag and smoother motion, especially for multiplayer competitive gaming. However, for most single-player games, the benefits may not be worth the additional resources required. Ultimately, it depends on personal preference and the specific game being played.

for fps games, you IMMEDIATELY feel the difference between 60hz and 144hz. What about 240? IF you are used to 144 and get a chance to try 240, you will also notice seeing enemies swinging much more comfortably.
240 is noticable over 120/144. I couldn't play 60 anymore even if you pay me. I think 240 is actually the sweetspot, but we have 360 Hz with ULMB2 o n the horizon to give a big boost to motion clarity (which is the main reason to go higher in refreshrates, for fast paced games). Perhaps i might jump on a ULMB2 OLED when such hits mainstream, but i am happy with my 240 now and wouldn't wanna miss it.
lol 240 is the sweetspot as if there were millions of other monitors aobve 240 hz. U make it sound like theres 1000hz monitors hahahhahahahaha chill my dude 240 is in no way shape or or form a sweetspot, only YOUR personal preference haha ( or i guess the "sweetspot" for u which is basically one of the highest refresh rates we have currently available anyways haha)
@@MaymunLega It really depends on the games you play and what kind of graphics card you have. There are games that can't reach more than 200 with some details enabled, even if you have a 4090. Partially because of system bottlenecks, partially because many game engines are garbage.
So buying anything above 240hz has to be reconsidered.
However, there is active development to go towards 360hz and even 500hz. Then there is new tech by Nvidia that pushes motion clarity even further, but works only 360hz, etc... making such monitors mandatory, if you want/need that.
My point was: If you are not about such esport games, or dont have the system to even reach past 240, then a 240hz Monitor is indeed the sweetspot, albeit being "high end" by todays standards, you gotta consider the developments in the Monitor market (oled, mini-led, 500hz). I believe by the end of 2024 the 360hz Monitors will be what enthusiasts will be after, and everyone else grabbing the 240s, which will come down in price by then.
Don't forget the 540hz TN as well

for me 60hz vs 120hz is a insane different. 120 VS 165-180hz is a big difference too but only if you play on both in recent time. 60hz feel too blurry and laggy. I sugguest to go 144hz or higher for FPS games. 240Hz is the highest you need!
From 240 to 1ghz makes a difference.
People never talk about this regards to singleplayer games. Anything over 120hz is overkill for sinlgeplayer games. And that's because single player games are designed for either 30 or 60 gps, with some improvements going up to the next tier refresh rate. But any refresh rate abive that next step I find super overkill. Fir exmaple: FF7 Remake was clearly designed to be run at 30 fps, gets a massive boost going to 60 but feels stupid going to 120. But no singleplayer game I'm aware of has really been built around 120fps to where 240hz feels necessary.
this! I was wondering about this. 240Hz+ seems really only useful for competitive players where in games like CSGO/ etc that u can get +400 fps that will matter at all. For SP players 120 Hz is probably much enough as we like graphics and those games cant either be pushed much above 100 fps if Im aware (unless u have a master race pc maybe)
That's why you skip 240hz when you upgrade and get a 360hz for the final big upgrade, somewhere around 6ms? Maybe less
Higher end refresh rates are only design to part you with your dollars. If everyone was satisfied with what they had, they would not sell enough new stuff, so they have to tempt you with the new prize. Doesn't matter if it's needed or not.
dunno i can feel the difference between 144 and 240 in CS, but wouldn't notice it in something like CK3

Average human reaction time is 250ms. With training this can typically get down to 200ms. Gamers as a subset may have higher reaction times because of extensive training, usually from an early age. God gamers would have reaction times of 150ms or less. So monitor refresh rate can be thought of as percentage error on your reaction time. So the better you are, the more refresh rate matters. Let's say you are the best gamer in the world at 100ms reaction time. That means 144hz gives you 8% error! That's huge. But for the average gamer it gives 4%. I would argue that is likely still statistically relevant in performance advantage, but how much does performance advantage matter to the average gamer? They just want to have fun experience and will never compete with a god gamer on any screen. So then it is a question of being noticeable. I think the noticeable vs $$$ equation does not make sense above 144hz for the average gamer or especially ~170hz, which goes for about the same.
It’s very strange how 144 or 180 isn’t as much of a difference to 240 yet 60 to 100 is a 40 fps difference, 144 to 240 is 96 numbers, and 180 to 240 is 50. Shouldn't technically 144 to 240 show the biggest difference to 240?

Great content as always!
If you play at 144hz and go to 240hz you can get worse at the game at first as you adjust to less input lag. but once you get mussel memory to higher refresh rate you will get much better than you could at 144hz. Its not just the screen there must be no frame dips in the game only set the fps to the max of what your pc put out don't let it jump around in frame rate. I use msi afterburner frame timing in the graph form in my top corner its shows dips and input lag then adjust settings to hit the 240hz consistently. You can't learn how to aim better if your lead time on shots are allover the place with frame dips. if you run 500hz the frame dips mix together with the rest so they don't matter as much as they would at 144hz. Cpu and ram speed is very important to frame consistency
Competitive gaming sweet spot: 1440p at 120-240Hz.
Historiy/Narrative/strategy sweet spot: 4k at 60-120Hz.
I think that for people especially on budget where their fps might not go over 200, 170 or 180 might be a sweet spot, majority of people play on 144hz (I think?) so you will slight have advantage against them, also I dont think you can feel too much difference when you go over 200hz, then games the "input lag" I think you are just fine with 1ms latency 170/180hz against higher refresh rates because I doubt they get much advantage on most games, might be wrong but in the end depending what you play
As an extremely sweaty gamer, you’re absolutely incorrect about 60fps on controller being negligible in comparison to 120fps on console, specifically.
