inb4 this encourages companies to aim for the magical 0ms display Edit: ok the whole convo derailed into praising crt monitors so just so you know. When I said "0ms display" I didn't mean "0ms delay
**EDIT**: The old Blur Busters guide for VRR (GSYNC/FreeSync) on FPS caps is outdated. You want to do the formula of `refresh - (refresh x refresh / 4096`) to get your optimal max fps. This is close t
I noticed a difference between these two... When I paid attention to the frame rate. Above 144hz, I noticed it matters more about the game and how well it performs rather than the monitor. Too many g
Same. I would honestly have bought the same monitor with 144Hz instead 360 if I could save a bit
Its called - # Diminishing Returns Also input lag, round trip latency and persistence of vision come in to it

I don't care for anything over 144hz. But looking at all decent new monitors. Specially in the ultra wide 1440p sector im looking at. They all seem to be like 240hz and above. Which is annoying becaus
\>if you own a 60hz monitor, you will never be able to jump the same amount of smoothness with an upgrade to an even higher refresh rate as you felt when upgrading from 30hz.
Responsiveness and smoothness are 2 different things. I Gree that probably past 175hz or somewhere there you don't have any more benefits, but I can see the difference in smoothness when I jumped from
144 Hz to 240 Hz is still very noticable for me in games like League or CS, but not in single player games. I would absolutely buy 360 Hz monitor if there were some 4K OLED options
How's the response time on these? I play competitive shooters and was curious if there any issues with ghosting? I noticed these were VA panels
