Will it make my animu smoother?
Is 240hz worth it?
Ryan Phillips
Austin Thompson
Yes, you should even watch your 24fps movies on your 240Hz monitor. They'll be smoother
Evan Reyes
I mean 24 goes evenly into 240 unlike 24 into 64
Justin Gonzalez
>23.976fps
Carson Ward
It's complicated as usual. If you are a CS:GO or Overwatch type person then yes it is always worth it as it is strictly better than 144.
That said you have to consider how cheap 1080p 144hz monitors are on ebay refurbed with the 20% ebay coupon, you're going to pay a couple hundred more for the 240hz.
You also have to consider your PC. You will need a recent intel CPU delidded on a 280mm AIO at 5+ghz and ddr4 3600 cl16 or better as well as an overclocked 1080 bare minimum.
I chose 1440p 144hz over 1080p 240hz but if you are a competitive fps player it's a no brainer. In addition if you get a 240hz adaptive sync(g/free) you will always get the most out of your hardware in all games which is appealing.
I would do a lapped liquid metal 9700k, with ddr4 4600 cl19 and a used 1080ti on an 240mm AIO. That's not necessary though even a 6600k and a used 1070 or 980ti would be good, still need at least 3600mhz ram though.
People say ram doesn't scale past 3200mhz but that's just not true. In games that can get near 240hz they are always CPU frequency and ram speed bound.
Ryan Rivera
i overclocked my monitor and it definitely is smoother
Easton Martinez
yes.
why? because it's 240Hz and your animu is 23.976fps. so you don't have any judder compared to your 60Hz screen.
although you can always set custom resolution to 48Hz and set mpc hc to auto change refresh rate at full screen.

Wave your hand in front of your face. Do you see that blurring? That's your brain unable to process movement quickly enough to get a clear image of what it sees.

60fps =~16ms

retards, see avp
John White
don't be and idiot, buy 4k 60hz
Joshua Torres
I'd go for it if I had the money, so I won't make fun of you if that's what you're asking
Gabriel Powell
Good thing strobing backlights exist then
Charles Davis
It's different in real life because you have to move your eyes and refocus on moving objects. When you're looking at a screen, your eyes can stay stationary and in focus. Also reaction time =/= smoothness.
Parker Wright
this, of course with diminishing returns I dont see the past of going past 144 but I use 75hz and that's the highest I've ever seen
Sebastian Gomez
avp?
or that cancer svp?
kys.

I'm looking for an hdr monitor for my ps4 pro and my pc, is it a waste of time or is it worth doing
Mason Butler
>hdr monitor
Better off with a small 4K HDR TV desu
Jaxson Nelson
>Wave your hand in front of your face. Do you see that blurring?
no blurring here user, maybe you should upgrade your brain?
Nathaniel Kelly
Fuck that. I can see if you've never in your life seen anything above 60 fps but when I limit my fps to 60 or play on a console its like moving through quick sand.
If you don't play games then you're based and blessed in that you get to enjoy a big 4k monitor.
I want a set up with monitor arms good enough for me to easily change which monitor is in front of me and have a 32" 4k and a 23" 1080p 240hz
Kevin Howard
at 100hz SAO alicilization is finally smooth
Jaxon Davis
Just get a 144Hz 1440p 27" and call it a day
Eli Hill
That's what I have but it's a compromise. Being able to switch between 4k and 240hz isn't a compromise.
Jason Ramirez
only with babby hardware, are you babby
Jeremiah Watson
The higher the refresh rate the quicker something shows up on the screen.
A 60 hz display takes 16ms plus input lag of the electronics to show a new object.
A 144hz takes already 7ms and has usually better electronics further reducing input lag.
It basically can improve your reaction time by around 5% compared to 60hz besides looking smoother.
240hz will be similar, mostly the electronics will be even better lowering lag to under 5ms. But that's only an additional 1% reaction time at best and I can't believe it will be a visual upgrade comparable to the 60/144 upgrade.
240 i'd say would not be worth it because outside of CS or Overwatch you won't get near stable 240fps from a game.
Better get higher quality 120/144hz for more long term fun.
Jaxson Martinez
It is meme-tier placebo BS. Anything above 100hz it starts becoming meaningless. Response time becomes limited by the human element.

blur reduction + g-sync 120hz > 240hz
not worth getting them right now, maybe in a few years
Matthew Johnson
Your brain literally needs time to process visual data coming in, this takes time. When something happens faster than your brain is able to process it then it blurs it in an attempt to fill in the information it was unable to get. Point is any frame rate below 13ms realistically won't get you any kind of noticeable improvement in fluidity or whatever. There's no point in squeezing out diminishing returns from faster frame rates when resolution is way more important.
t. ex- 144Hz 1080p monitor owner who now has a 60Hz 4K monitor for gaymen.
Brandon Reed
Isn't freesync better?
Juan Lee
don't know, doesn't really matter until amd puts out a card that isn't shit
Connor White
Inferior to CRT display.
Aiden Richardson
i got a cheap 1060p 144hz monitor
i instantly notice the choppiness of 60hz now
Julian Robinson
*sips*
Ryder Nguyen
input and response is faster so it will feel smoother regardless but yeah I feel like 144 is overkill but it's gotta be better than 60
Jordan Rivera
You'll need an overclocked i7-9700k/8700k and a 1080ti to run 240hz. So make sure you have a good enough rig before you invest.
Nolan Butler
Alien vs Predator honestly wasn't that bad
still wish there was a Chris Hanson cameo
Henry Howard
nice copy pasta. ebin ;DDDD
Jace Flores
3570k @ 4.2ghz & r9 280x here, I get 200fps on all low settings on the newest cod. since it is optimized like a piece of shit I probably get even more then that in ow/cs, thats 2013 hardware right there.
Austin Parker
That's where you'd be dead wrong. Monitor response time has nothing to do with framerate. You can have a 20ms response time 144Hz monitor and get tons of lag at 144fps compared to a 5ms response time 60Hz monitor and get no noticeable lag at all.
Ethan Scott
>inb4 239.76hz
Luke Rodriguez
Seriously though, the only way you will ever be able to know is if you test it out yourself.

this one is better imho
Evan Carter
OR just undervolt a 2700X at 4.2-4.3, cool it with the stock heatsink and spend the leftovercash on a 2080ti.
Julian Thompson
does g-sync hurt performance at all when running high FPS games where g-sync isn't needed?
