Upping the Hertz; A New Visual Experience

Hey, quick little blog here.
So a few days ago I got a 1080p 144hz monitor, and I can confidently say that 144hz makes a world of difference!
The monitor I am using if a Refurbished AOC G2460PF with AMD Freesync. I paid $189 for this monitor and it is currently the cheapest 144hz monitor still in production on the market, and for the price, hoooooly shit. It is AMAZING.

I simply cannot state how great 144hz is. 144hz doesn't just affect gaming, if affects EVERYTHING. Browsing is so smooth now! EVERYTHING is smooth! 144hz monitor paired with an SSD (which I also got and failed to make a blog on) makes for the fastest computing experience I have ever had.

This monitor also has speakers (fine for just listening to a video, not good for listening to music regularly), a USB hub, and can turn 90 degrees! It's so cool!

The pic really doesn't do the monitor justice. You can't really see the SMOOTHNESS of of 144hz from this photo, but trust me, it's amazing.

Wow, that is really inexpensive. If it was also 1440p I'd have to buy one for sure.

Picked up an Acer, 24 inch, 1080p, 144hz, curved and also VA for $230 CAD which was super sweet! 144hz definitely makes a world of a difference, I'd have to agree.

144hz was amazing when I first got mine, I sort of want to upgrade to 240hz in the future..for shits and giggle reasons.

The thing is, 30 and 60 doesn't divide properly into 144hz, it's best to go with 120, 180 or 240.

@Mr. Wizard And so what if it doesn't divide properly?

That would only be if you were not running at 144hz though? If you were to buy a 144hz monitor then why not run 144hz? :unsure: Also how would that create Motion Blur?

"One of the effects of having a slow refresh rate or response time"

"This can be reduced by having a faster refresh rate."

Did you even read?

I think it would be hard enough to play a 30 pixel movie on any monitor...not just a 144hz monitor.
