Are 144hz monitors a meme? Is there a noticeable difference or

Do you have to use DisplayPort for a refresh rate that high or can HDMI handle it. What about 120?

Go to a WalMart, Best Buy, Costco and see for yourself (they're on display).

>>56974965
I'd probably assume hdmi can handle it, but display port gas a better bandwidth threshold

>>56974940

its only meaningful for fps games and there are none worth playing anymore

>>56974940
It's amazing.

>>56974965
DisplayPort

>>56974940
You can differentiate between 120hz and 144hz. It's not placebo.

Yes, our eye's limit is just until 24 Hz

after 144hz 60 will feel like 30, you'll never be able to go back

144hz is a big deal and not placebo. "fps games only" is a meme and entirely wrong. I can never, ever go back.

Enjoy your shitty color, faggots.
>muh gaymen

Playing Dota 2 at 144hz is quite nice.

>>56975343

yeah man you need that refresh rate for tracking your cursor in windows??

>>56975476

Eh. It's ok. 4k is super, but it's 60hz. So you're compromising

Not a meme at all. Even setting your desktop refresh rate to 144hz feels a lot smoother. Anyone who has says other wise hasn't used one. Playing games in 144hz makes it smoother. It just works.

>>56975626
FPS matters more

okay figs, prove you need a 1ms 1080Hz gaymur monitor

hdmi cannot handle 144hz. it won't work

>>56975325
Well damn. I like this 60hz monitor i've had for a few years, and the other monitors I have are likely 60hz too. I'll stay ignorant.

>>56975758
It really does make 60hz look like a fucking slideshow.

Its like watching one of those 50fps movies when you are used to 24fps.

brown eyes can't notice a difference
blue and green eyes can tho

>>56974940
The difference depends on the game. For slow games (Civ, Xcom), 60Hz is not that different from 144Hz. For fast games (CS:GO), the difference is very large. Most games (Dota, WoW) are in the middle, so you WILL enjoy the 144Hz, but not so much that "I will rather die than go back to 60Hz".

tl;dr it is a luxury: if you can afford it, it is great

If you actually just work on your computer and lurk on the internet - it's a meme.

If you waste your time playing screen clicky mouse games you gonna need one to show off to the world what an useless piece of shit you are.

Friend got one. Havent played games on it but I did browse and look up some stuff.

I could tell the difference. Everything was smoother especially noticeable when scrolling through pages and speed reading through documents looking for keywords/references.

I *want* one but money is making me stay at 60hz for now. Im also wondering about 120 vs 144 since for movies both result in refreshes lining up per frame but the same cant be said for 30 and 60fps media. So if anyone could shine some light on that id appreciate it.

Ill probably hold out for 120 or 144 4k to replace my 1440+1080 set up. Even going 4k + 2 1080s for my other machine. But yeah i could notice the difference personally.

Anon above is right and I kind of wish I hadnt played around with it as I now want it but realize waiting is financially responsible.

>>56975710
Kek, 3kilksphilip has the high score on that site. (He's a cs:go mapper)

>>56974940
Huge difference. 60Hz vs 144Hz, once your eyes get used to 144Hz once something drops to 60Hz constant you can immediately see the difference.

>>56975225
I fucking love how i got a viewsonic 144hz monitor for half the price around £100, if you can get one around at that price its worth a purchase especially if you play any games that support 144hz but other than that in your desktop environment everything seams really nice and smooth but when moving your cursor to another monitor it can feel like the thing has gone down to 30hz

>>56974940
>144hz monitors a meme

>>56974940
Got mine almost a year ago and don't regret it. It's really nice for gaming, particularly FPS games.

it literally doesnt mean jackshit unless you play shit like cs or quake

>>56975163
No you need a display port.

>>56974940
There is a difference. I still remember how wrong everything felt when i switched from ~100hz CRT to my first (60hz obviously) LCD.

I wouldn't pay "gaming" money for it though.

1ms 60hz 4k is the current patrician's choice especially for films.

>>56974940
Yes it's noticeable
Whether it's worthwhile to you is dependent on what you want to do and how much money you have to spend (also if your hardware supports it, pretty sure you need A DisplayPort output).

I went for the ultrawide meme instead since 60FPS is rare even on a 1070 for modern games at completely max settings, but once the prices come down I'd love to go for a 144Hz 1440p IPS monitor with G-Sync or some shit.

>poorfags will ne er feel 144hz
LOL

Just bought one. It's fucking amazing. Especially for CSGO.

>>56974940
I can switch between 60Hz and 85Hz there's absolutely no difference

I have no reason to believe that 144 makes any as well

>>56978670
ips 144hz here. while it does feel smooth as fuck it's not going to make you better or anything at the game. had an overclocked 75hz before.
>>56978733
it's okay if you can't afford one, my man

>>56974940
i have a monitor that does 144hz unless the games is running at 144fps its a waste most games I cant run that high :-(

Can we turn this into a monitor thread? Im thinking of getting a ultrawide monitor?

>want 120+hz 2560x1440 monitor
>they're all either TN trash or IPS panels with insane quality control issues

>>56978840
I think the issues with the IPS panels have not only gotten better, but it's just the insanely butthurt people getting faulty panels that cry everywhere. My bro, a friend and I have the same MG279q and they've all been great. Just pull the trigger. I think it's still only AUOptronics producing 144hz IPS panels so it's not gonna get better anytime soon anyways.

>>56975870
Freesync or just standard 144hz,

human eye can't see beyond 24 FPS
you are getting jewed

>>56975710

i dont think theres a difference for using it here, the benefit from using 120+ hz is from being able to track your mouse movement really smoothly. you have to use it for fps games but there aint shit worth touching

also scored 186 average after just waking up

>>56974940

Much less blur and smoothing image when playing anything above 60fps

or dvi for 1080p 144hz

or the new hdmi if the monitor supports it

>>56974940
Much more of a meme than SSDs. Higher refresh rate can be noticed easily by most, and for people who prefer smooth high frame rates it seems to be appreciated. However it's definitely a diminishing returns thing. 75 to 90 hz will give you a nice benefit without compromising the product's pricing/features for its price as much.

>>56982418

Muh 144hz 95% Adobe RGB calibrated display. Go suck yourself.

>>56974940
The human eye can see 480p@24Hz at most.

I would play gaymes on 144hz but my 970 haets it

>>56975885

I do that, as my other monitor needs DP and my GPU only has one of each.
What is the problem, it works just fine?

>>56974940
human eye can't process more than 4 Gb/s of image data in center of vision, that's why 1920x1080@60hz is so popular. If you truly want to experience 120hz, you need to reduce your resolution to 1280x720.

Air force pilots were tested and they found they were able to see upwards of 240fps converted

The human eye doesn't see in fps anyways.

As a 144hz user I can't go back.
It kinda sucks because I want ultra settings for muh gaymen but need 144fps

>>56986559
yeah, because they're using both eyes independently - which raises bandwidth to 8 Gb/s. Also, they see in 1280x720.

if you don't notice a difference above 60hz you might just have brain damage or some other defect. and there are good quality IPS/VA 144hz monitors now so there is literally no downside. the only reason some "professional" color work monitors are still 60hz is because it's much cheaper to produce, and people using those kinds of monitors either don't care or are clueless.

If I can see a huge difference between 60 and 30 hz, I'd definitely notice it on 144.
But meh, 4k ips 144 are still pricy as fuck, so I've chosen the 60 hz option and kinda okay with that.

Time for an electronic dick-waving contest.

So what are some good 144hz 1440p IPS screens then?

>>56974940
Yes, there is a very noticable difference.
I have a 144hz monitor and I deeply regret buying it.
Why?
Because now every game locked at 30-60 fps looks terrible in comparison.

Stay ignorant and happy.

>>56974940
huge huge difference. will never do <90-100fps gaming ever again

if you can't notice a difference between 60fps and 120fps you have genetically inferior eyes

Does anyone here know of a 144hz glossy monitor?

I hate the matte finish, ill suck the dick of anyone who provides me with a name of one.

>>56975628
The strange thing is you can tell a difference between 60 fps on a 60hz monitor and 100 to 250 fps on a 60hz monitor. So I'm guessing if your perception of time is fast enough you could notice a difference of up to 300 or 600 fps on a 144 hz monitor. Im talking 180's in first person shooters and things like that where you are in the process of pulling a 180 or 270 and might happen to want to pull a 90 degree turn to kill someone who was about to kill you, but you didn't see them because you are running at 30 fps.
