We highly recommend you jump to 240hz if: You participate in gaming tournaments. Gaming tools of the highest caliber are usually used during these events so it would pay to familiarize yourself with a higher refresh rate monitor and gain the best edge against your competitors. You’re ready to shell out extra cash. The value of 240-hz displays is likely to go down once they become more popular. But if you're ready to spend before that time comes, then you can take the leap and buy your preferred 240-hz unit. Your computer/graphic card can run games at 240 frames and higher. You’re willing to sacrifice some visual quality over performance. Most 240-hz monitors are TN panels so be ready for a slight downgrade in viewing pleasure, especially if you're currently using an IPS panel or VA screen.
