Thx for you valuable contribution! I stated that i already have an excellent 144Hz, i also never said all the 144Hz are bad.
Btw why do you ask me to relax?

Relax son.Lets eat some chicken paprika rolls first.
Ok now dont expect a 480hz monitor soon.Because you need very high fps to play games properly with that monitor.Game engines are also not ready for that.See even Apex the most famous battle royal game is optimized only for 144fps.Not 240 fps or more.So if you have an excellent 144hz monitor,CONTINUE using it.Dont think about 480hz right now.Maybe 10 years later.Take some fresh air and you are ok.

new here, sorry if is idiotic, but couldn't you have a 240hz display, use 240hz on the games where you can have that frame-rate and limit it to less in windows ?

(60hz here looking for new display) I don't even know if you can limit the hz to less.

All 240Hz monitors can also be run at a lower refresh rate too.

Yes. You can use 120Hz on the desktop if you want. It's what I use on my 165Hz display. All high refresh rate monitors can operate at 120Hz (and 60Hz too, but 120Hz is better for the desktop.)

You can, but most 240hz monitors havr really bad behaviour at lower refresh rates, they were not optimized for it. Alienware aw2518h keeps the best overdrive at lower refresh rates But the input lag is higher than a good native 144hz monitor.

Avoid any asus model or aoc, they have the worst overdrive even at native refresh. At lower hz they are unaceptable.

what you think about gigacrysta ? brand from japan

EX-LDGC242HTB this model looks really interesting 0.6ms HDR

Really interesting read, thanks for the post

ChiefBlurBuster would you consider making a benchmark list of all the gaming worthy monitors that we could then sort by pixel response time, user rating etc... even if the review was made from another source you could have a column listing the sources etc.?

Also I guess this question has been asked thousands of time so one more couldn't hurt : what's the fastest monitor as of now?

stumbled upon this thread after looking for the best 240hz option to upgrade my good old trusted vg248qe from 2012

am SUPER happy with my vg248qe to this day, running it at 120hz lightboost @10% forever and while 144hz no lightboost feels slightly more responsive / snappy the motion blur is making me sick lol, think im sensitive to motion blur as an old ex-quake on CRT monitor-player


anyway today my game is more or less only fortnite and was looking to both upgrade monitor to 240hz and rest of hardware on my pc aswell, however im very aware having 240 fps steady in this game is only possible in very few situations, no matter how good CPU/GPU/RAM you have, in competitive endgame situations with many players in small area and so on its straight up impossible to have 240 fps, even in non-competitive situations its impossible as long as there is complex areas in your field of view or lot of players in small area and so on,


but I was still thinking its maybe worth it to upgrade to 240hz monitor and also upgrade pc hardware to atleast have benefits of 240hz scanout on monitor coupled with atleast sometimes having 240 fps, and in many situations 150-240, and in few endgame situations it will be lower ofcourse, but after reading this thread and also a lot of other feedback from different people on 240hz vs 144 hz, I think I come to conclusion i'm better off keeping my good old vg248qe, and investing in better cpu/ram/gpu only, instead of investing in better cpu/ram/gpu PLUS a 240hz monitor?


what I wonder also is how is the idea of 240 fps cap on 120 hz 10% lightboost together with very strong cpu/gpu/ram? would it be better than for example 120 fps / 120 hz 10% lightboost? or is the more steady 120/120 option better you think?


today I have already 120fps cap/120 hz 10%lightboost but have old pc that regularly drops framerate in intense situations, and in these situations mouse input feels like shit because cpu is too weak to properly handle mouse input and the game at same time, happens both with lightboost off or on, so im left thinking should I only upgrade cpu-ram-gpu or also monitor to 240 hz? after some thinking it seems the monitor upgrade to 240 hz is not worth it and can in fact actually be worse for aim and input, unless we are locked at 240 fps 100% of the time, which we will never be in fortnite even at lowest quality settings and low resolutions,


for the record I have ancient pc today, i5-3470 with 2x4gb ddr3 1333mhz ram, with gtx 1060 6gb, will upgrade to something like 9600k/9700k with z390 motherboard and 2x8gb 3200mhz cl16 ram with rtx 2060/2070, and will make some decent overclocks on cpu and gpu aswell, I have feeling this would be enough for me to get a huge improvement in gaming and dont really need a 240hz monitor, you guys think this is correct? after I upgrade, do you think 240 fps cap @ 120 hz lightboost is better than 120/120 also?


sorry for long post and a bit confusing perhaps, but appreciate any feedback

cheers
