When you’re looking at refresh rates and how they impact gaming, there are three main differences to focus on between the 60Hz-240Hz range. These are improved motion resolution, reduced ghosting and tearing, and better responsiveness.
As you move up the theoretical refresh rate ladder, fast-moving images and quick gameplay become much smoother. By doing this, however, the overall price of the monitor will naturally increase as well. That being said, there is a sweet spot that takes into consideration both price and performance – and for me, that’s 144Hz.
