    2021 I upgraded from 1080p 120hz to 1440p 144hz and I couldn't be happier. I play alot of games where they're graphic heavy, and 1440p has brought my gaming to the next level

      even in 2k 1440 is nicer. Mine can go to 3k but games start to run poorer and really the monitor is best suited for 2k 1440. But it seems to me any option that is 1440 is just superior and I see no benefit either in going higher as I never noticed a difference. Now I can run games at 2k 1440 144fps and they look amazing.

    I'd say 120/144hz would cover the vast majority of gamers just dandy for years to come, especially for single player/offline gaming. I love my 240Hz Odyssey G9, but I got it purely to spoil myself after spending most of 2020 in lockdown staring at a PC screen for both work and play. Important to remember as well, high FPS will not make a bad player good. More it removes most input lag roadblocks to enable you to play at your "truest" level online.

      Yeah. Even if an LG 42" OLED TV is configured for PC mode and you set your PC to 120Hz, if you cannot see beyond 60Hz/60FPS, 60FPS is more than fine for average gamers who are not into fast-paced shooters and eSports. Heck, I have a visual disability and I cannot tell a difference between 60Hz and 120Hz.

    Well, one thing should be mentioned: even if game cannot pump those fpses, an 100+ Hz monitor is still good. Just the fact that, whenever a frame has finished rendering, it can take up to 16ms (60Hz) or 7.8ms (144Hz) to be fully displayed makes a big difference. I will take 52fps on 144Hz anytime over 60Hz.
    When I first got an 144Hz monitor, I was playing American Truck Simulator, and was "admiring" the camera controls. When I glanced on fps counter, I noticed it was sometimes in the 70-80 range, but I never noticed stuttering, which I did notice on 60Hz refresh rate. Also tearing is less noticeable because 1 tear will not stay more than 8ms on screen, as opposed to 16ms.
    Now I'm on a 240Hz monitor, but I don't really notice any difference to 144Hz. If there was some tangible benefit, the screen characteristics (color, brightness, etc) might have distracted my brain for a fair comparison.

      @@braedonlock3359 Your monitor just has a max refresh. You device (PC/console) drives the refresh, with input from monitor of it's range. An 144Hz monitor will work with 60Hz, 120Hz and 144Hz signals. And, as I know, no console can output 144Hz. All are limited to 120Hz.
      My point was about GPU rendering and that 144Hz is smoother. But 144 vs 120 is negligible. The timing is 8.3ms vs 7.8ms. Very small compared to 16ms of 60Hz.
      Edit: if a 144Hz monitor has a "144" option, that is for compatibility in case other devices can't handle anything above 60. That option should always be enabled unless you have an old device that won't work otherwise. It won't do 144 for a device that can't output 144.

      As I know, consoles (at least PS5) don't support 144Hz, just 120Hz. So games are made for max 120fps (limited at least by VSync).
      So if you need to chose between 120 and 144, I really can't say. I prefer 120 due to being a multiple of 30/60 and "i think" is better for capture. But other than that, I just set the max.

Then I set it up properly and just moving the mouse was an experience. I played a few games of tarkov at 144 and my god I wasn't prepared for just how smooth games could be. I generally believe after a few hours that 240 is nice but hardly noticeable to me atleast. I think the leap from 60 to 120 feels quiet smooth but 140 is the sweet spot for me u feel it over 120 its crazy to me. I guess game to game might be different. But generally speaking high fps is a huge huge huge game changer for me.

    There's also other lesser mentione downsides to high refresh rate displays with very fast average pixel response times: Low framerate content looks incredibly bad due to the pixels refreshing much sooner than the framerate. On a 160Hz display it'll completely update its pixels every 6ms or so. For 30 fps content, that means there's a huge 27ms gap of time before the next frame appears, and it also gets thrown up in 6ms. This abrupt, high speed pixel shift between frames leads to a stuttering appearance.
    That said, that's a very minor negative to an otherwise excellent PC browing and gaming experiencing.

    Something a lot of people don’t know is that there will always without question be screen tearing/stuttering etc… if you’re frame rate and refresh rate are not exactly the same. Obviously there is gsync, adaptive sync, and vsync to fix that but that’s not why I’m writing this comment. When doing probably a bit too much research to figure out what monitor to buy, I found a thread where in the founder of blur busters mentions that much higher refresh rates than frame rates is quite smooth and that the screen tearing is barely noticeable because the monitor refreshes so quickly. Therefore, if you have a high refresh panel but aren’t hitting those frame rates, you really don’t need to worry about limiting the refresh rate in a lot of cases unless you prefer it that way or it is very noticeable.

I've a few friends and coworkers that have higher rate monitors (up to 144hz), and once I get above 60fps I THINK I can see a little bit of a difference, but its not a big deal for me.

    I havent been gaming for the past several years but I just bought myself a new gaming laptop. My last gaming pc was a custom mid-high tier desktop with Amd hd 7870, Amd fx-4170, 8Gb ram, 500gb HDD, 256gb ssd which was built 11 years ago.
    Now I have a laptop asus rog zephyrus m16 with Intel i9 13900H and RTX 4070, 16 gb ram (soon to be upgraded to 32gb), 3TB storage (1tb stock ssd + 2TB samsung 990 pro).
    My laptop qualifies as high end tier laptop but definitely not the highest.
    Back 10-11 years ago, i noticed that 45 fps provided a noticeable jump over 30 fps and my bare minimum for gaming was 45 fps especially during online more competitive play. 60 fps was what i always shot for though as it provided a noticeable difference to 45fps. Since my gaming monitor was only rated to 60 Hz, 60 fps was all I needed to shoot for and it was great when i was getting consistent 60fps. No complaints.
    Now my laptop has 240Hz refresh rate. I have strong doubts that I will notice anything more than 120fps. I believe 120fps probably doesnt offer much of an upgrade over 70-80fps anyways. I'm sure those ultra competitive CS GO players notice the different between 120fps and 240fps though! Couldnt tell you how much though.

I’m real to myself and honestly, it’s like my $8k Yamaha hifi system in my lounge room and my $2k vintage 70’s Pioneer hifi system. Do a blind test and you’d probably say the $2k vintage system sounds better.

    I am fine with 60-100 fps/hz from I first started PC gaming in 1996 until now. I have a 13900K + 4090 + 3440x1440 ultrawide running at 100hz. If the framerate shows 200+ it doesn't mean I would prefer a 144/240hz monitor. It simply means that huge allowance of spare framerates would translate to the prolonged longevity of my PC gaming system. And true to expectations, I normally upgrade my gaming PC every 4.5-5 years although I will upgrade the GPU twice within that timeframe. I play mainly FPS but I'm not a professional eSport FPS competitive gamer so to me I can't see the difference between 100fps and 240fps. The tendency is for technology to evolve and get faster/better/bigger but there is a point of diminishing returns.. cough - 8K - cough - 540hz cough - 53" monitors. Just because you can doesn't mean its necessary for the best gaming performance.

      @@elih9700 lol I know it's weird. For the same reason people buy a Ferrari when they cant drive fast unless on a track. If I ever want it or need it, it's there. And temps. Playing at 60 keeps cpu and GPU temps much lower. I live where it's pretty hot most of the year.
