If You Already Have A 144Hz Monitor, Don't Bother With A 240Hz One

Refresh rates matter, but only up till a certain point.

In recent months, we’ve seen a growing number of 1080p displays with blistering native 240Hz refresh rates. These monitors feature TN panels with very ordinary Full HD resolutions, and picture quality and viewing angles are quite frankly unimpressive, especially if you’ve gotten used to an IPS panel.

Why would anyone want them? Because of the butter-smooth experience you get from being able to display 240 frames per second. Is someone strafing in a panic across your screen? Gun him down with zero motion blur and pixel-precise tracking!
