Why 144hz?

[Spev]

This is a completely random question...when 120hz monitors came out it kinda made sense, 120hz was double 60hz...now that there are 144hz I think, why that number? Why that number in specific...

 

Sorry OCD is bugging me I MUST KNOW WHY.

144 hz has something to do with 3D capability i think

[Enderman]

144 = 120+24

so its 2x glorious 60fps plus a little cinematic experience

Its the next evenly dividable number buy 24 (cinema fps) after 120 It also gives you an even number of frames per eye for 3D when the movies at 24 fps per eye (3 repeats per eye) i.e. evenly dividable by 48.

Not sure... At least its an even number.

[Deletive]

It's double 72 which seems to be another somewhat common refresh rate.

Yea, if it was 143hz I would probably be driven to insanity.

[Guest Strangerbob]

lol... you people weak on math?

 

144 cuz 144/48 = 3

 

THATS the reason.

 

But there are too many standards" of framerates anyway....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate#Digital_video_and_television

 

Luckily freesync can sync up the monitor exactly to any 34.86 fps movie or whatever and the 144/120/72/75/60 max caps are meaningless now. Might aswell have ANY number.

And by the way - this is why freesync should be standartly implemented across ALL tvs.

Welcome to technology my friend. 24fps for movies, but 30fps on YouTube. 144 is a nice number its like 24*6 or 12^2 so like maybe people were like maybe people gotta have them Hz and people pushing 140fps would be like i wanna see all my fps

24*6 = 144hz . . .

144 is a fibonacci number! I bet that's why. No but for real, I think its because its 72*2, and for some reason 72 is a pretty common refresh rate too.

Please link us more than 2 monitors models that have 72hz default refresh

I think the 12^2 should please most peoples OCD at least it does it for me

If I have this right tell me:

Movies at 24hz, 24*3 is 72, 72hz in both eyes so 144hz. I think that's how it goes, going from memory here.

Even more simple: 24 goes into 144 better than 120

Haha well they aren't really common anymore. But I know that 72 Hz was at one time (maybe still is at a pro level?) standard. I'm pretty sure that 72 Hz was/is used in things like theatres and computers used for pro video editing because 72 Hz is 3 times greater than 24, which is what film is shot in.

Hi,

 

Benefits are smoother gameplay which can improve your skills in fps games.

 

Negatives are that you need much more GPU power to maintain a consistent high frame rate which means you may need more money.
