Will 240 Hz Monitors make any difference for gaming?

Will 240 Hz Monitors make any difference for gaming?

 

1) Yes more Hz are translatable to a more fluid experience

2) No the eye wont see any difference between 144 and 240 hz

3) Human eyes cant see past 30 fps anyway so it wont make any difference

[Mr.Meerkat]

Does more fps and Hz=a better experience? Yes but how big of a difference it makes depends on the genre of game

 

Your eyes may not see past 30fps but what it can notice is lower input/frame lag and how it looks more fluid as it's like FPS and refresh rates, a GPU won't always produce a new frame when the display refreshes but more fps=a newer frame is able to displayed and this is the same with our eyes, when the monitor is refreshing at a higher rate, even if our eyes only see 30fps, we get to see a newer frame displayed resulting in it feeling more smooth .

240hz will make a great difference in minesweeper over 144hz, but honestly -I THINK-  it might if you are a pro player, or just a realy competative player but for the general person there will be no real difference, atleast not at the same scale as 60 to 144

But... The eyes don't have a fucking frame shutter. And if they did they sure as hell wouldn't be limited to 30fps.

 

Yes it matters, but will it come with the tradeoff of color accuracy? If so, does that matter to you?

Well you can get a IPS 144hz monitor (I'm actually pretty sure some of the higher refresh rate monitors that are 144hz+ are IPS as well) so tradeoff of colour accuracy is somewhat true but unless you're doing video editing or something that needs 100% colour accuracy then it's good enough no?

True but you know...I'm just explaining why a higher refresh rate monitor and higher fps is better even if our eyes can't see past a certain amount of frames a second

But we fucking can  

 

And yeah, but there aren't 240Hz IPS, are there? Those 144Hz ones are awesome though.

For most people, I don't even think 144Hz makes a difference over 60Hz to their game.

Thats not true at all. There are gazillions of youtube videos proving otherwise. Even older people who only use office can instantly tell the difference.

 

If you ask them is this 144Hz they cant answer but show 60 fps material besides 144 fps and you clearly see a HUGE difference. The question was if it is also notable for 144 vs 240 hz.

There's a difference between "I can see a difference" and "omg my kd ratio when up 200%"

 

You can give a squid a Kawasaki H2R and he'll certainly feel the difference over say his 600 GXSR, but that doesn't make a squid less of a squid.

The question was " Will 240 Hz Monitors make any difference for gaming? "

and not "does 240Hz bring my KD ration up 200%?"
