Why I Downgraded from 360Hz to 240Hz

The highest refresh rates aren't always the best options.

Just uploaded to the gaming channel also!

The human eye can only see the $500 difference.

I upgraded from 60 to 240 and its life-changing, to say the least

me watching the game in 60hz: whats so different

[marko_jack_]

This is my favorite channel, without "silly jokes", he is so smooth, serious, represantive, only speeks about true facts, this channel is one of the best for PC hardware...

[pugz]

2 years later he would upgrade to a 540hz

Me playing on 60Hz : WoW 360Hz Is Not good Like Ali said.

[sakethkumar]

Companies watching:
interesting let's make 480hz minitor

[akhidan]

This has to be one of the most pragmatic and comprehensive comparisons that I have ever seen. Good work, and I really enjoyed the insight.

A tech reviewer that's actually good at video games is such a refresher.

Honestly the difference between 240hz and 360hz is so minimal, and I'd rather have BenQ's Dyac technology because that's something that actually makes a massive difference.

"Inverse ghosting" or corona is often not mentioned in reviews, I'm glad you talked about it. I bought a Samsung Q80T for use as a lounge computer display as it was touted as one of the best gaming TVs on the market for brighter rooms (OLED isn't bright enough for my setup). This TV has hideous amounts of inverse ghosting, I can visibly see my room get brighter at night with the lights off when moving around in some scenes (in particular, Witcher 3 and Valheim during the game's night).

Also, the setting makes a huge difference.
My monitor has very serious ghosting problem when set to 144Hz. But when set to 120Hz, almost no ghosting at all.
Some maker pushes their panel to get bigger FPS number, but in some case that just makes it look wost.

They say that with smoothness and image clarity during fast motions we tend to really notice doubles. From 30 to 60 is a nobrainer. From 60 to 120 is huge. From 120 to 240 is definitely noticeable (especially in image clarity during motion) but 240 to 360 is more like going from 120 to 165. It's noticeable, but probably wouldn't be worth the upgrade. 240 to 480 would, however, be noticeable to most people as long as you point them at what to look for (basically viewing it more as motion blur reduction than actually being or feeling much smoother or more direct). Apparently it'd take around 1000hz/fps to have motion clarity equal to the good CRT screens from before most people reading this were born. They didn't have sample-and-hold technology and therefore could be 'stuttery', but technically didn't have motion blur. Hell, it's possible for fast motions to appear *much* sharper and clearer on such a monitor than in real life. As weird as that may sound.

I like this guy.
He is so gentle and humble in his approach.
A true Gentleman.

That budget 1080p Monitor comparison coming soon, Ali?

[MichaelBertolino]

Ali, just finished my SSUPD Meshlicious build and it's awesome! Thank you for reviewing it!

[koffeekage]

I like 27” monitors, seems like the majority of 360 monitors are 24”.

[colbyboucher]

Really glad to see someone on YouTube discuss response times, motion blur and backlight strobing in-depth, it's not discussed enough. RetroArch has an option for "black frame insertion" which operate on the same principle, and even when it's 120hz getting cut down to 60, the motion clarity was enough to convince me.

And I'm sitting here on a MacBook that can't even properly render 40 frames consistently
