These days you can buy 4K/240Hz displays that have a 1080p/480Hz mode.

Even 240Hz is usually enough for really good players. 480Hz is just for the 0.01% who can take advantage of it.

> 480Hz is just for the 0.01% who can take advantage of it.

I'm skeptical that any human can take advantage of that. Even 240Hz is stretching it.


I have a 144hz monitor and a 240hz. I can definitely see the difference.


I think at that point it’s not really conscious any more? It always takes me a little while to realize my monitor somehow went to 30hz, and that’s why I’m feeling something is off.


Note that these are all 32" panels so the PPI is on the lower side of 4K monitors.

If you want pixel density first and speed second then you should go for a 27" 4K instead.


Or just sit a bit further, you will get the same exact FoV.
