No there are many factors to affect that. Please I recommend reading up on things and learning as you go through.

In all likelihood you don't but you should be able to check what your refresh rate is in the display settings. My money is on it being a 60Hz/75Hz panel.

Oh thanks I’ll check that

Oh so to clarify, if I want to use a 240hz monitor I would need a computer to utilise it

It's not that simple 

But the premise is you need something to get to 240.

Oh this may also sound very dumb but do monitors come with prebuilt graphics cards and also laptops , like I get 60ps -120 on my laptop

Monitors don't have the parts

They have the pcb 

The back light the film. As I said. Just read up on things to learn

That's the quickest way to do so.

This might sound really dumb but if I just get a 240hz monitor would I be able to use it with out a computer and get 240 fps on a game like Fortnite 

Well, sounds like we need to clear something up.

 

A monitor is literally just a screen, nothing more. There's a reason you've got a massive rectangle box plugged into it. That's the computer. The monitor is only a screen.

Ohh okay thanks , so you see how an Xbox can get 60 FPS if I plug mine into a 240hz monitor will I be able to get 240 FPS , sorry for sounding quite dumb previously, also thanks for the help

Monitors don't. Monitors are not computers. They're just screens. The only thing they do is show something on it when you plug a computer into it. 

 

Laptops are actual computers of course, so they are a different thing. Most mid-tier+ laptops these days do.come.with graphics cards built in.

 

 

Also, protip - as for playing Fortnite, I almost guarantee you don't need 240Hz. If you want to be better at Fortnite, 144Hz will do the trick just fine, you probably wouldn't even notice the difference between 144 and 240. Also, I recommend looking to maybe getting a better mouse, better mousepad, make sure your playing position is good (like sitting at a desk vs sitting on a couch), and make sure your internet is reasonably good (unless you've already done all those things).

Thanks so much , also I asked a question about whether if I bought a 240hz monitor and plugged my Xbox in which gets 60fps would I get 240fps on my monitor

Unfortunately no.
 

The hertz (hz) of the monitor is how many times it can refresh the display. The only way to get more FPS (The number of images a second your computer/console gives the monitor) is to have a faster computer. I don’t think any console can do 240fps at any resolution.

What games?

 

What settings?

 

What resolution?

 

CS:GO could get 240FPS on a potato at 800x600 on-all low, but it is impossible to run RDR2 at 4K Ultra even with the most godly of computers.

It depends on what resolution and graphics settings you want. Also what country are you located in?

 

If you need more help in the future, you can send me a pm on here or post a new topic so more people will be able to help as well.

I’m in the uk I want 240fps and 1920 x 1800 I think or it might be 1920 x 1080 for Fortnite it would really help me out if you could help me find the least pricey option also thanks for the help

Could you wait a few months? The new generation of hardware will be out and provide better price/performance.

Yeah definitely so would they be cheaper or like more worth your money

The new generation should have replacements at the same prices but with more performance.
