Yeah I've watched a lot of comparison videos - like when they sit shroud at 60, 144, and 240 hz displays and see how he reacts. There's definite noticable improvement. I'd say between 120-144 is the sweet spot for me (I've never looked at 240), but when it dips lower I can feel it. 60 feels absolutely disgusting. That's not to say gaming at 60 is disgusting, but to me after 4-5 years at 144 hz it feels disgusting.

That said, if a console actually played at 60 fps it'd be a miracle.
I really want a 43" 120Hz monitor of some sort. Or Gsync/FreeSync such that you can have something better than 60. The video smoothness of those monitors playing at 90/120Hz is just so amazing but I am not willing to play on a monitor smaller than 39" and less than 4k. Consoles at 60 look great too but I think with Ampere/RNDA2/3 we are finally going to be in a place with 4K/120Hz gaming is a real possibility.

Never really saw the point in such a big monitor, but to each their own. My company makes that absurd 49 inch ultrawide

Check out the LG CX 48 if it ever gets released

Still waiting on LG and company to get off their arses and start making OLED Ultrawides. Basically an OLED version of the monitor I have now, plus a GPU upgrade, and I can die happy.

For some it's Refresh rate, for others it's 4K, but for me it's Ultrawide. Just can't ever go back, and now I've had the 38" for a while, even a 34" wouldn't cut it.

Anyone who says 60 to 144 doesn't make that much difference - you're insane. If you play anything at all that makes you move the mouse, it is a noticeable difference. The smoothness is a game-changer, coming from someone still on a 60hz. I'm trying to hold off until later in the year that some badass monitors will release along with the new 30xx cards.

Now what I'm struggling with is whether not I want to stay ultra-wide. I think I do? Idk... I'd be very happy with a 32-34" 144hz 1440p IPS panel that was actually badass. Essentially a copy of that badass 27" IPS panel LG made.

It's past 144 that makes zero to little difference, particularly for reaction time in FPS games. Linus did a good video on it with shroud and some others.

I'd say the same thing about ultrawide, and if I have to choose between 21:9 75Hz and 16:9 144Hz it's not even a question which one I'd pick (and if I was looking to spend the kind of money required to drive 144Hz at a proper resolution I'd still skip it in favor of going all the way to 32:9).

I feel like I'd be a great candidate for an ultra wide, because I don't play FPS, and if I do, it's so casual I don't care about refresh rates. I'm currently gaming on a 27" 1440p 144hz, but not a single game I play gets to 144 FPS, well other than EQ ... Lol. But I think I'll have to start looking at the ultra wides soon.

I can't stand Jay, he's a twit/idiot/othernameshere. He is someone to not trust unless Linus posted a video on the topic 2 days before

Was in the market for a laptop since I travel most weeks. Then I got back into EQ on Aradune, and I got a job that has me close enough to home to be home every night. Was like nawww, don't need it now, not for EQ! Lol
