Also, consider GSYNC or FreeSync.
You can get a variable refresh rate display which means you can play any framerate without stutter. It looks like a permanently-smooth-effect-at-any-framerate where changing framerates has no stutter. If you have never seen a variable refresh rate, see the simulation at www.testufo.com/vrr (make sure you quit all applications & browser windows), launch a stutterless web browser (to avoid stutters from interfering with the demo) and try the Slow Ramp, Fast Ramp, Random, Struggle At Max. You should ideally consider VRR in your next 144 Hz display (FreeSync or G-SYNC).
Ten years ago, nobody needed 144 Hz ... In a few years, 240 Hz will have no premium over 144 Hz. 240 Hz has half the motion blur of 120 Hz, and 120 Hz has half the motion blur of 60 Hz. 240 Hz would have one-quarter the motion blur of 60 Hz. Twenty years ago, nobody needed 1080p, but today the only HDTVs you can easily buy in Best Buy are all 4K now, since they've cleared out the majority of 1080p already (except for small TVs like 32").xenphor wrote:The only other option I see is going up to 240hz which I definitely wouldn't need
That said, 144 Hz is definitely the mainstream gaming monitor resolution now. Anybody buying a desktop PC gaming monitor *today* should buy triple digits.
