Should I get a 120Hz monitor?

Question

Iron

All reviews talk about how cool it is with a 120Hz monitor, but they are noticeably more expensive. Are there any owners of such monitors here? What are your impressions in games and at work?

Answer 1

look at gsync/freesync support first.
120 Hz is worth taking only if the video card is capable of delivering stable 120 frames per second in the games you play.
for most modern (2015-2016) games, this will be a gtx 1080 in most cases, and it is not cheap. In addition, not all processors will be able to provide a top-end video card with work, so replacing a monitor + video card + processor is even more expensive.
you will easily notice the difference between 60 and 120 hz when scrolling the page in the browser.
the difference will be even more noticeable in the shooter - the feeling of "rubbery" of the sight will decrease, it will respond more quickly to moving the mouse.
if you don't have money for a fast video card - go for a gsync/freesync capable video card and get a suitable monitor, this will greatly reduce tearing in games (if you play with v sync turned off) and reduce the input lag from vsync - it feels like "rubbiness" " when moving the cursor.
lower input lag can be achieved without a monitor with gsync - you can use nvidia fast sync instead of vsync, but then the video card must produce the same number of frames as the monitor refresh rate, otherwise there will be tearing.
because gsync / fastsync is suitable for relatively slow computers that do not give out a stable 60 frames per second, but give out 50-40.
If your computer produces only 30 frames per second in games, then nothing will help you, upgrade or change it.
if you are wondering how it feels - some laptop matrices can be "overclocked" and they will work normally at a frequency of 100 - 120 Hz.
accelerate in steps - first try 75 Hz, if the image is displayed correctly at this frequency, then try 85, then 100, 120. 115 and so on.
monitors also overclock, but less, because. a controller is installed in them, and in laptops the matrix is ​​\u200b\u200bconnected directly to the video card. https://forums.overclockers.ru/viewtopic.php?t=452960
read the articles and watch the video on www.blurbusters.com , it will become clearer.
as for ips / tn - you asked at 120 Hz, and not about the type of matrix.
if you need an answer to this question too:
1. if you don't play much - any monitor with ips/ah ips/varieties, if possible with gsync/freesync
2. if you play quite often (like to play) and the computer is not very fast in new games, but you can change the video card - any monitor (with any matrix) with support for gsync / freesync
3. if you play very often - a 144 Hz monitor with gsync / freesync and a computer capable of delivering stable 144 Hz
4. if you mainly watch movies / read / program and almost do not play - only ips / ah ips / varieties, preferably with factory color calibration - for example dell.
check the color gamut for compliance, the rest of the details may not bother you.

Answer 2

к примеру я заметил разницу между 60 гц и свои (разогнал до 75 ) разница есть в изображении, уменьшилось размытие при резких движениях мыши, поддеркну что уменьшилось, и в то же время поднялась резкость при этих самых движения мыши. Игры стали выглять как то иначе, красивее чтоле, плавнее несомненно. 120 гц брать однозначно, если замечаешь разницу
