I'm looking at picking my grandson up a new monitor; he uses it for gaming. Which is likely the best option:
a 144 Hz refresh rate and a brightness of 400 cd/m2 and a colour saturation of 72 NTSC, or
a 165 Hz refresh rate and a brightness of 250 cd/m2 and a colour saturation of 85 NTSC.

Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.


Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

Mine too... but my son assures me that it's not for gamers... different type of critter.

The gamers that I know are running three monitors, large center with slightly smaller L&R ones. It gets rid of the middle line.
The real problem isn't the 120Hz, it is that 4ms is g-t-g, changes between colors is the real issue.
The biggest latency is still the network.

Thanks...
