href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>rs who play fast-paced titles. These monitors may not be worth it if you value image quality over raw frame rate.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a new monitor you might be tempted to buy something with the highest refresh rate you can afford. But there are a few things you should consider before going all-out on 240Hz, 360Hz, and beyond.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_a_Refresh_Rate\"><\/span>What Is a Refresh Rate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The refresh rate is the number of times that your monitor updates in a second, measured in hertz (Hz). A standard 60Hz monitor designed for desktop use in an office updates 60 times in a second, which is fast enough for most simple computer tasks. Most televisions also operate at 60Hz, though the new standard is twice as fast at 120Hz.<\/p>\n<p>A monitor that refreshes at 120Hz displays twice as many images per second as one that refreshes at 60Hz. The term \u201chigh refresh rate\u201d is open to interpretation, but <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly speaking anything above 144Hz qualifies. It\u2019s common to find gaming monitors with refresh rates of 165Hz, 175Hz, 240Hz, and higher.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Buy_a_144hz_240hz_or_300hz_Monitor\"><\/span>Why Buy a 144hz, 240hz, or 300hz Monitor?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The more frames that are displayed per second, the smoother motion <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears on-screen. You\u2019ll get more feedback about what\u2019s happening in games, and the monitor will respond to your input quicker than lower refresh rate models. This improvement in refresh rate will also be visible on the desktop and when browsing the web.<\/p>\n<p>Monitors that have both high refresh rates and high resolutions (like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B083GRVFXN?tag=lsmedia-13710-20\">Gigabyte\u2019s 4K M32U<\/a>), demand a premium price, starting around $500 and going much higher from there.

The same is true of frame rate overall when you compare a legacy 30 frames per second experience with a 60 frames per second remaster.\u00a0The benefits are far more clear at the low end of the spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Some even state that they can\u2019t tell a difference between 60Hz and 120Hz, reaffirming the idea that a 60 frames per second target is \u201cgood enough\u201d as a baseline for most gamers. Many prefer superior image quality using techniques like ray-traced shadows and global illumination in modern titles.<\/p>\n<p>ASUS released the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ASUS-PG259QN-DisplayPort-Ergonomic-Mountable\/dp\/B08GL5TJQT\/?tag=lsmedia-13710-20\">PG259QN<\/a> in 2020, the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/32510\/say-hello-to-the-worlds-first-360-hz-gaming-monitor\/\">world\u2019s first 360Hz gaming monitor<\/a>. Since then there has been a flurry of high refresh rate displays like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ViewSonic-XG250-Compatible-Lighting-Ergonomics\/dp\/B09JT47W21\/?tag=lsmedia-13710-20\">ViewSonic Elite XG250<\/a> (280Hz), <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/MSI-DisplayPort-Technology-Oculux-NXG253R\/dp\/B096HFVVKK\/?tag=lsmedia-13710-20\">MSI Oculux NX253R<\/a> (360Hz), and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Acer-KFbmiipruzx-Monitor-FreeSync-Agile-Splendor\/dp\/B0B1VNFVMS\/?tag=lsmedia-13710-20\">Acer Nitro XV272U<\/a> (300Hz), all marketed at the eSports crowd.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, tech channel Linus Tech Tips decided to test which staff could tell the difference between the ASUS 360Hz monitor and several 240Hz monitors. Despite the small sample size, most couldn\u2019t tell the difference between the two, and even those that managed to guess right described the difference as \u201csubtle\u201d and barely noticeable.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"3iY0figLAwo\" params=\"start=141\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/3iY0figLAwo\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Higher refresh rates may make you a better gamer and give you the edge by providing smoother motion and more up-to-date feedback on what\u2019s happening on-screen. But there\u2019s arguably a limit at which point most who aren\u2019t on the eSports circuit will notice a difference. Chasing ever-higher refresh rates is a game of diminishing returns.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_About_500Hz_Monitors\"><\/span>What About 500Hz Monitors?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nevertheless, at CES 2023, Alienware announced a 500Hz monitor, the\u00a0AW2524H, and ASUS revealed <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Frog.asus.com%2Fus%2Farticles%2Fgaming-monitors%2Frog-swift-pro-pg248qp-intro%2F&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">the ROG Swift Pro PG248QP<\/a> that can reach 540Hz in the right setting. Will you be able to notice a difference between 360Hz and 500Hz? Maybe. Is the price premium worth it for most people? Probably not. On top of this, there are some big trade-offs you\u2019ll need to accept if you want to get past the 500Hz barrier.<\/p>\n<p>Both only manage a resolution of 1080p, which is to be expected if you want to generate enough frames to take full advantage of them. Both use TN-type panels, also to be expected since TN panels offer faster response times at the cost of both viewing angles and color reproduction. These monitors prioritize motion handling over just about every metric, including overall image quality.<\/p>\n<p>Unless you have a very specific use case in mind, even a 360Hz monitor may not be worth the cost. We\u2019d recommend seeing these monitors in person to decide whether the price and trade-off in image quality are worth it. You\u2019ll also need to make sure your computer is up to the task.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Higher_Refresh_Rates_Demand_Higher_Frame_Rates\"><\/span>Higher Refresh Rates Demand Higher Frame Rates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s no point buying a high refresh rate monitor with a refresh rate of 240Hz or higher if you can\u2019t produce 240 frames per second (or near enough) in the games that you want to play. The highest refresh rates are ideal for those who play competitive online games, where many players opt for lower graphical quality to get as many frames as possible.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t play these sorts of games, or you don\u2019t have a beast of a system to run your favorite games at a frame rate that makes the most of your monitor\u2019s refresh rate, buying the highest refresh rate monitor you can afford might not be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re mostly playing single-player experiences, you might prefer a higher resolution and lower refresh rate. If you struggle to get above 120 frames per second in your favorite games, a modern 120Hz panel (like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/LG-42-Inch-Refresh-AI-Powered-OLED42C2PUA\/dp\/B09RMFZZPX\/?tag=lsmedia-13710-20\">42-inch LG C2 OLED<\/a>) will give you more bang for your buck. You might prefer better HDR visuals by opting for a monitor with great peak brightness to a more immersive single-player experience.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s always an argument to be made for overhead, i.e. buying a monitor with a higher refresh rate than you need right now with the intention of passing that threshold with a future upgrade. But games don\u2019t necessarily work that way. We\u2019re more likely to see higher-quality textures, better lighting, and more realistic reflections and shadows than big leaps in performance in the vast majority of games.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Fast_Is_Too_Fast\"><\/span>How Fast Is Too Fast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether a refresh rate is \u201ctoo fast\u201d to justify the expense depends on two variables: your ability to perceive a higher refresh rate (ideally in a blind test), and how many frames your computer can produce in your games of choice. To fit the profile you\u2019ll probably be playing fast-paced, competitive online games like <em>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/em>\u00a0and looking for any competitive edge regardless of the cost.<\/p>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"DC7mT7QqOAA\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/DC7mT7QqOAA\/hqdefault.jpg');\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>For now, higher refresh rate monitors demand a premium. One day, when 240Hz and higher monitors are as common as 60Hz monitors are today, it will be economical to buy something that seems overkill on paper.<\/p>\n<p>Refresh rate isn\u2019t the only measurement to consider when buying a monitor. You\u2019ll also want to consider pixel response rate, pixel density, and how the monitor connects to your computer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
