Monitor 60hz vs 75hz

[angelospao13]

Hello guys i want to buy a new monitor.I am between a 110euro 60hz samsung monitor and a 155 75hz aoc monitor and i wonder if the 15more hz that the aoc gives me is worth for 45 euros(about 55 dollars the difference)

I would say it depends. I like having the extra 15Hz personally(I use a Dell SE2717HR), but to some people it wouldn't make a difference.

No, you can just overclock the samsung monitor to 75hz if needed, but the difference is not that big between 60 and 75 anyways.

Buy a 60hz monitor and oc it to 75, thats what i did, or buy the 75 hz and overclock it to idk what rate

In nvidia or amd control panel create a custom resolution

I hear it can kill your monitor, but the nvidia control panel seems to be pretty safe. It reverts the changes after 20 seconds unless you click accept.

Not necessarily - some displays can only reach a few hz higher than stock without issues.  And you could overclock both so the 75 hz would still be faster.
