    generalpompeyo got a reaction from Jouxy in 240 hz vs 144 hz   
    As other fellow forum users have said, there is a big improvement from 60hz to 144hz. Much less so from 144hz to anything beyond. Apparently, fighter jet pilots can sometimes distinguish individual frames in a 240hz image sequence, I can't and probably neither can you. 144hz is enough, even for competitive gaming.
     
    It's actualy not a subjective issue, vision has biological limits and the brain has cognitive ones.
     
    Another question you must deal with is: can your computer reach those frame rates anyway? Can it give you stable 240hz at playable settings?. And if so, in what measure is that experience worth it over a 144hz experience with much better settings, that you will definitely notice (contrary to the leap from 144hz to 240hz experience which you may not in a reasonable measure)?
     
    Another thing to consider is resolution, I imagine that your using or planing to buy a 1080p monitor for this type of frame rate. If this is the case, the true major improvement is not 144hz to 240hz, but 1080p to 1440p (at 144hz). And again, even for competitive gaming.
     
    So, in response to your questions:
     
    Will it make you a better gamer? Not really, no.
     
    Will you notice the difference on games like fortnite? No, you most probably won't.
     
    Hope it helps.

    Glad to help.
     
    The difference among the PG279Q and the PG279QZ is nothing apart from a  marketing operation to sell an existing product at a lower price. They have the same specs and the same overall designe. I could not find any real difference whatsoever apart from the name, not even the comparison tool on the Asus web site shows any difference.
     
    Concerning your other question, I agree with Linus in that 4K gaming is just not woth it. For me, 1440p at 144hz is a more pleasing experience. You can check out his recent vid on the subject here:
