It can be the difference between being able to reaction-break some stuff and not. It wasn't really something I was looking at when I bought it, but it turned out to be relevant. The only problem with this one is that it's 1080 where my current one is 1440, but the cheapest 1440 monitors with low response time are stupid expensive. | ||

and yes, everyone who doesn't own a 144hz screen and plays fps games should get one immediately. benq if possible. | ||

I used to joke around when pros were getting to the point they demanded 144hz and 60 was UNPLAYABLE, that I'd refuse to attend LANs as a spectator unless the monitors the spectators watch the games thru were also up to those standards. I feel like that's becoming less and less a joke. | ||

In terms of the Hz talk, input lag is much more important than refresh rate. I dont want to make a wall of text about it, but to generalize a lot, its the time it takes for the monitor to "read" the signal coming from your graphics card and transform it to a format of display. Total lag in your system is: 1. The time it takes for your keyboard/mouse to register the action (usually 1-2 ms when corded). 2. The time it takes for your USB to process the request for an action interruption in the CPU to record the action (PS/2 does not have this problem, it always interrupts and goes in first). No way of knowing how long, too many variables (all hardware and software can affect this). Usually its about 10 ms. 3. The time it takes for the CPU to process the action and send it to the OS, and then the OS to record the action and send it to the GPU (5-12 ms). 4. The time it takes for the GPU to record the change (5 ms, probably less). 5. The time it takes for the signal to travel the cable (0.01 ms). 6. The time it takes for the monitor to process the signal (this thing can go from 3 ms to 145 ms, most monitors are in the 10 to 40 range). 7. The time it takes for the monitor to make a pixel response to the image sent (anywhere from 2 ms to 18 ms). So, if you want absolute minimal latency/lag in your actions, the biggest factor by far is going to be the monitors input lag and pixel response time. It can actually make all the other elements unimportant. (Well, except the ps2/usb, and only if you are using USB for one device and ps/2 for another because at very high apms, your actions might be recorded in incorrect order. I had this happen to me in Broodwar). AoC is not the best in input lag but it has some decent models that are good enough to consider. By the way, as a side note, the normal reaction time of a human is normally at 250ms. High reflex people (like pilots and gamers) can have 200 ms reaction time. VERY good gamers can get into the 180-170 ms reaction time area. http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime Ignore anything under 150 (even if true, the % of people who are that fast in the world make it a statistically unimportant anomaly). http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ Old database for input lag on monitors and tvs. Finally, remmeber that 16ms is 1 frame at 60 hz/fps. So if you have a monitor with input lag under 16ms, you should never notice a difference if it goes lower than 16ms. But once you hit 32ms delay, thats two frames. That is certainly noticeable by gamers (but not by normal pc users). However I agree that if you have the hardware to support a 144hz monitor with low input lag and great pixel response time, with your PC (and get higher than 60 fps in the game ofc) then the benefits are very nice, mostly in terms of fluent gaming. | ||

Unlike the others, I can go back and play on 60hz just fine, but I find it uncomfortable and feels choppy until you get used to it again. But although maybe it's entirely my fault, I personally feel like I lose a competitive edge when I play on 60hz. | ||

That said, the monitors I've seen are about 1ms response time so it doesn't really matter anyway. No, extra frequency effectively translates into better response time. 144 Hz allows one image every 6.9 ms, 60 Hz allows one image every 16.7 ms. Boom, 10ms potential cut-off in your response time. Edit: And for fast competitive gamers with a 200ms reaction time, that means a 5% improvement on that. Not life-changing, but definitely not insignificant. | ||
