343iBot Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 If you're serious about gaming, especially on PC, you should consider upping your monitor's refresh rate to at least 144Hz from the standard 60Hz that you'll find on most budget monitors and televisions. If you thought 60Hz looks smooth, wait until you play a game with a variable refresh rate up to 144Hz with G-Sync or FreeSync active. A higher refresh rate gives you an edge that you wouldn't otherwise have at 60Hz. Reacting to enemies, twitch aiming, and timing are all factors that are improved by increasing your refresh rate, whether you can tell the difference with your eye or not. Anyone who's serious about gaming, especially competitive multiplayer, should consider getting a 144Hz gaming monitor.
