From specs to comparability, completeness, gaming (gameplay but also knowing what's important regarding each product), script-writing, editing, technical knowledge... this guy does it all.

Thank you for putting all that work in. What is going on in the background to achieve this quality is not going unnoticed! Not sure if this will add to this comment, but I also want to mention that I am a very nitpicky sort of person. Still, your content is as close to flawless as it can get. I would really like to know what sort of education you went through. Do you have any sort of background in tech outside of the rigorous research you put in in your free time?

    6 years ago I upgraded from 60hz to 144hz, the difference was night and day, and going back to 60 fps felt very choppy (as if I was playing with 15 fps). This year I upgraded to 240hz but I couldn't see that much of a difference between 144 fps and 240 fps, sure it is smoother but not that significant. I can still go back to 144hz and it still feels smooth.

    It makes sense that it would take something like 540hz to really notice a difference from 240hz. For all intents and purposes 240hz to 360hz is not a whole lot. Like going from 60hz to 70hz. 60 to 120hz halves frametimes, and 120 to 240hz reduces it only half as much as the jump from 60 to 120hz. 240 to 360hz doesn't even half it, it 2/3s it. Which means the frametime reduction is only around a *SIXTH* as much as going from 60 to 120hz. Going from 240hz to 540hz reduces frametimes a little over a quarter as much as 60 to 120hz, or a little over half as much as 120 to 240hz. To get an at all similar visual benefit as one gets going from 60hz to 120hz, you'd have to jump straight from 120hz to 540hz. Which gets you about 3/4s of the reduction in frametime. It really illustrates how many more frames are needed to keep getting reductions in frametimes (getting less feasible as frametimes approach zero). By comparison 240 to 360hz is almost negligible. So basically even though producing twice the number of frames is always twice as hard for your computer, it only gives a little less than half as much benefit visually as the previous doubling. Getting any visual benefit over 540hz at this point would pretty much require displaying well over probably 1000-2000hz to be at all visually notable since we're shaving off such small quantities of time. The total amount of time a frame is on screen at 540hz is a quarter of *difference* in time between 60 and 120hz. So you need to get frame times pretty close to zero to get a fraction of the difference.

After that I upgraded everything step by step and now I'm on 1440p 240hz and honestly the refresh rate still feels kind of overkill for me since I play single player games most of the time. However I used to play a lot of Counter Strike in 8th grade so I decided to give CSGO 2 a go tonight to experience the full might of my Odyssey G7.

    Remember that Humans do not have frame rate or hertz. The way we see things are based in perception, higher hertz with higher frame rate the human does less calculations to convert photons to the system we made things up. There for anything higher than 50hertz we see more real to life. No matter how high the hertz is beyond 50hertz we translate things based on imagination and data that is already store on our brain, in fact a higher hertz with a proper frame rate we see things more clear because the brain does not need to create things to feel the gaps. For instance, when we see things in the darn that looks like something else, our brain is trying to feel the gap, traying to make sense because we use vision to survive. Humans see frames and hertz based on light and shapes that translante to what we imagine. A higher frame rate with a higher hertz monitor will always be better for gaming and watching tv or film. That's why I always tell professional filmmakers and videographers to never film anything in less than 24fps because we can tell the missing frames specially motion from left to right.

I'm obsessed with how great CRTs handle motion & aliasing so I am always looking forward to advancements in the flat screen space. The reason 1000hz doesn't excite me that much yet is because we will never be able to drive games at those framerates, this is because even as hardware improves our performance targets don't instead we reinvest those improvements into enhancing image quality thus lowering FPS again, so only way we can achieve it is with very modular game engines like Doom Eternal's that scale well which is rare and typically only found in eSports titles, unfortunately (which isn't that difficult to do, but for some reason the ceiling is raised for what the lowest settings will offer & less work is put into them) However their is hope -- if Nvidia or AMD or Epic Games invests in asynchronous time warp for non-VR then we can achieve that smoothness & as long as we have a high enough internal framerate any artifacts caused by it will be very minimal. I recommend reading Blur Busters forum post on it, they are working with people to get this technology into games

    @@Hybred Motion clarity/fidelity and temporal resolution are two different things. A CRT provides _perfect_ motion clarity at _any_ refresh rate/framerate (but is usually not operated at below 50 or 60 Hz due to strobing). That's what stinks about Sample-and-Hold displays. You have to increase temporal resolution in order to decrease motion clarity.

For what I value, I'll go for something with better colors, viewing angles and contrast instead and preferably without a gsync module instead. Like a 2nd or 3rd gen QD-OLED.

    Reason it's smoother and it's easier to track objects is because of the strobioscopic effect, real life doesn't have strobing. persistence blur matters but so does those side effects. to eliminate persistence blur and strobioscopic effects at the same time you need ultra high framerates. strobing only deals with persistence blur and actually makes phantom array and stutter more visible. adding motion blur will hide strobiocopic effects but then you have unatural motion blur strobing decreases persistence blur but then you have more visible strobioscopic effects the way forward is ultra high refreshrates and framerates with low lag framerate amplification tech at khz refreshrates no 480hz is not even close to high enough to completely hide those effects but 1000hz is considered close enough. for full human fov and fast moving objects you would need 20khz

It is still better than no BFI, though. Sadly, I haven't been able to try BFI at refresh rates above 120hz, so I don't have a lot of experience here. You might have to do some testing and see what looks best to your eyes.

    I went from 30-60 fps from my Xbox One, to 144 on my PC like 6 years ago and that feeling was crazy, but I prefer couch gaming which is why I have my PC set up to my TV as well, which was only 60Hz at the time. About 2 years ago, I bought my first OLED TV, which is 120Hz and that's when I truly noticed the difference, since my TV is my primary gaming screen. Somehow, that jump to 120Hz on my TV felt bigger than the jump to 144Hz on my monitor. Probably because of the TV being twice the size of my monitor at 55". That said, a lot of people pretend like getting used to 120-144 fps is suddenly going to make 60 fps look bad and that's just a blatant lie lol. 60 fps absolutely looks fine, even though I'm used to double the amount so y'all saying that are capping hard. It only becomes insufferable if you try 30 fps. It's why I still won't play Bloodborne until a 60 fps update is released. If that never happens, I'll just never play it

    Yeah, for normal monitors, only eSports players really need more than 144 or 240Hz. For VR ? ANYBODY would visibly immediately benefit and feel the difference when going to 500Hz. I think that for VR that everybody can access, without getting sick or having a headache, 500Hz (with decent timings and clarity for this speed) would be minimum. And 1000Hz would eventually be the "basically perfect" standard. We're more than 10 years away from that. But, hey, we already can have amazing experiences on VR. This just shows how far the "ceiling" is, so to speak.

    @@milosorevic927 The thing is right my mobile phone has a resolution of something like 740pixels x 360 pixels but its sharpness and image quality is better than my monitor. Sure its on a tiny screen but its because they have to make the pixels extremely small in the mobile phone to fit that many pixels in. So the image quality comes from the pixels per square inch. If you've got more pixels in a square then the image will look sharper. For example if I had a square inch and I put 100 pixels in, each pixel would be of a certian size to fit all 100 within that area. Then imagine I decide I want to put 200 pixels in that square I can't keep those pixels the same size, so I will have to manufacture them smaller in order to fit 200 in there. The benifit is you've now got more pixels to add more details to draw your image. The only time I would agree that the image looks better would be if you went from 1080p to 1440p but kept the same size monitor, then you would see an improvement. Like I'm on 24inch 1080p, if I stayed at that size and went 1440p then I would see a big improvement in image quality. but if I went from 24inch 1080p to 27inch 1440p I would only see around a 9% improvement in image quality which isn't worth it.
