Maybe you are from another galaxy. I dont see any big difference between 60-120 fps. There is a very small difference but its mostly noticable in ONLY a few videogames. Its because some games are not designed "very well" and low fps can make them feel less responsive to your input and make things feel a little bit sluggish. Like Team fortress 2. You can notice a difference with higher FPS in the responsiveness of your inputs and things seem to go a little bit "faster"

[@rileypatterson1208]

Hey Linus as a physiologist I can clear up that 24hz myth. Each neuron in the eye is paired with a dark counterpart that both are connected to a Rod or Cone light sensitive cell then to a bipolar set of cells that fire an impulse to either the dark or light neuron. this ratio of how many light to dark impulses as well as where the set of neurons innervate to in the visual cortex determines the picture and how bright and what color things are. This process takes time for the signal to build up by individual photons hitting enough rhodopsin to close enough ion gates in the rod/cone cell to allow for repolarization and then transduce a signal to be modified in the bipolar cells that then modify the pattern of firing to the neurons then the signal has to reach the visual cortex and be processed. Yes this takes an estimated 70 milliseconds and that's where these frame rate estimates get pulled from but this is happening individually across millions of rods and cone cells so each one is processing visual data. This is a simplified version but you can get the point, the eye acts like the opposite of a screen where each rod is like a pixel but instead of the CPU telling the pixel to shine light the "pixel" or light sensitive cell gives information to the "cpu" the brain. Just each pixel acts independently with a network of pathways within the CPU to produce and image.

Video idea: Why switching to fullscreen mode and back is so much slower on pc than on mobile - please upvote so they see :)

[@CorrosiveCitrus]

@Ilham Ramadan That doesn't really explain why it's faster on mobile than PC. But yes, exclusive fullscreen mode in windows behaves differently than a mobile, it dedicates all the graphics resources to one application, it's slow in a game because theres a lot of resources being used which has to be swapped out when you switch between windows/desktop and the game, also when you alt+tab back in, the game has to figure out how to recover from suddenly losing access to the graphics driver. A phone just doesn't do that, everything is sharing the same resources at all times, just as if you had everything in windows or borderless windows on PC.

60 vs 144 Hz is extremely noticeable. Even if you're not a gamer! I've used a 144 Hz for a long time, then I bought a new cable for it, which defaulted my Hz to 60. I didn't realize what happened at first, but I could SWEAR something was off. I kept telling my friends that everything on my PC felt sluggish like it was lagging. Even the mouse cursor on my desktop looked like it lagged; it felt unprecise and almost left this weird trail behind it. It took me an hour and several rounds of laggy frustration in PUBG before I even thought of checking the Hz setting. It was such a relief seeing that it was set to 60 Hz, that I wasn't going crazy. It's that noticeable. Even in Windows when browsing files or the internet. You can 100% tell by how your mouse cursor looks. Then imagine the difference in a fast-paced fps game...

It's 34" not 24", but the LG 34UC79G is a good monitor - it has an 1800r curved IPS panel, 144hz refresh rate overclockable to 165hz, 1ms response time with a setting in the menu and it has Freesync. Some people say the 2560 x 1080 resolution is too low for the size of the display, but the advantage is that it is really easy to drive and it is fairly cheap at around £400. I found a deal on a refurbished model when I bought mine, it cost me £260.

I tested a couple 300€-550€ gaming monitors for my self around January 2019 and I had some rather odd results: There was a lot of shenanigans with monitor features, enabling one thing could disable another. So if both is on the box, doesn't mean that you get both. One panel I tested had freesync forcefully enabled with a vega card (couldn't be turned off) -> but when enabled, low latency mode was forcefully disabled (couldn't be turned on). So you had no low latency mode and even if you could, you would never have free sync. "Enhancing" Features like different kinds of blur reduction made the image quality worse for me or at least "weird". Some monitors can have a strange "strobing" effect that you don't really "see" but it did exhaust me quickly. Or similar: terrible ghosting when enabling gaming specific features. If you have a high refresh monitor and a low refresh rate monitor in the same setup (even on different gpu's), it can happen that windows 10 takes the lowest refresh rate for all displays, but it shows you everything configured correctly! So you play actually on 60hz. Avoid big displays (like 34" ultrawide) that don't have the massive resolution to back it up. It will look pixelated when reading / browsing etc. Sidenode to this: Some new games have crap support for multi GPU, even if their previous titel supported it! (FE: BFV). When I pump out constantly more than 140+ fps, I personally felt that I didn't really need adaptive sync technology at all. I actually ended up with a 24,5" 1080p 240hz TN panel from a company that good experience working with this technology. It seemed to have the fastest response time and also reasonably high image quality to me.

I've had a 27 inch 1440p 70Hz monitor for around 1.5 years now. Thinking about getting a 144Hz monitor, though I'm unsure whether to go for 1080p or 1440p. 1080p wont require that much power, and since my PC is midrange, it might be better (plus, up to 25 inches, 1080p looks ok imo). On the other hand, I think 1440p looks awesome, vastly increased desk space and crisp gaming. But that would take a pretty beefy PC to run at decent settings.

I know this is a beginners guide to choosing a monitor but there is more to a fluid experience than FPS. These videos never go into frame timing or image persistence, which affects ALL LCD panels. Ideally you want a panel that can do Frame Draw=Panel Refresh=Backlight Strobe.
