why 144hz why such a random number? why not 120hz?

[saiftech]

how come there are monitors that have 144hz? whats the point of 144hz? can anyone really see a difference between 144 and 120 fps? there practically alike? so why was 144hz even made for monitors?

 

and how come it stays at 143hz when its advertised at 144hz? i have a 144hz monitor and i always see it caped at 144hz with g-sync

I guess it's the highest manageable production wise while still earning profit on monitors.

It makes sense, I mean competitive play and stuff

[minibois]

Because they can make monitors with that refresh rate with a profit.

Why is it random? It's probably not, there's probably a reason (which I don't know)

And difference between 120fps and 144fps is negligible? I dunno, some people might see it.. But again, first point. Why not try to excel above your competitors with 24Hz more when you can?

tvs can do like 1000hz but thats a different story

[Grrizz]

144 divides into 24 evenly which is good for 3D movies, 120 divides into 24 unevenly which is fine for 2D but not ideal for 3D, 120 has the benefit of also evenly dividing into 30 and 60 so which is best to use depends on what you are viewing (only minor differences though).

except they can't. like at all. most of them run at sad 30hz or 60 hz if you are lucky. I heard some Vizio TV can do 120hz which was like magic.

how can 144 divide into 24 and 120 not divide into 24 evenly when the difference between them is 24, math?

so you're telling  me every single tv company is lying then?

I seriously doubt that. most of that "super high refresh rate" nonsense is just marketing.

[Tim Drake]

Not lying. Misdirecting.

[ZetZet]

so you're telling  me every single tv company is lying then?

Pretty much yes. It does show 1000hz, it's not real 1000 hz though it's 30/50/60 something repeated many times.

[arronleeds]

surely thats a case for false advertisement then.

The Hz rating they are quoting is not the same as the refresh rate of a monitor. 

 

 

Edit: worded the 2nd part badly, don't want to cause confusion lool

Nope. Nothing they are telling is lies, they just twist their words to fuck with people.

The highest a Panels true refresh rate has been developed is 160Hz, and that's not available in a display just yet, but it has been announced.

I overclocked my panel to 164Hz ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

A company does what it has to to make money. Otherwise, companies wouldn't exist.

not quite.

144hz is the maximum transfer rate of 1440p for current DP and Dual Link DVI. 

 

you can oc the panel to something higher but you are not changing the amount of information that can actually arrive at the monitor, it will probably make things worst if you have a g sync monitor.

that doesn't matter like at all.

now that makes sense though I think dvi can't do 1440p 144hz it can do 1080p 144 hz though.

At 144Hz each frame is repeated 3 times per eye at 120Hz you get 3 repeats to one eye for every 2 to the other, again it is a MINOR difference but it does make a difference.
