nah you need 240hz for that ultra smooth mouse movement so you can drag and drop videos and move timelines in video editing without stuttering and ghosting/s

 

You are find with a 60Hz monitor

i don´t think that you need like 144hz. 60Hz will be okay. Better would be a higher resolution but thats not necessary.

Why is that?

since 1080P is only 30hz

 

1080P60 is 60Hz....so unless you go higher, no need for a higher refresh rate

60hz is fine. If you're producing, you want good color reproduction.

exactly and usually higher refresh rate monitors are tn panel

Is a refresh rate of 60hz good for 1080p video editing

 

Thanks

60Hz refresh is same as 60 FPS so the answer is yes, it is decent for Video Editing, also it has nothing to do with your Video Editing perfomance.

Ok so 60hz is fine, because my friend is going to get a MacBook Pro  for video editing and I'm trying to convince him to do windows.

im pretty sure the 1080p MacBook Pro has a refresh rate of 60hz but some conformation would be nice

 

Thanks

You can have 144Hz+ Refresh rate on 1080p but real question is can your hardware push 144+ FPS :)

30htz monitors are obsolete.

60 is the minimum

I think they were referring to 30 fps videos.

its not really 1080P as per the standards if its above 60FPS

 

The official standard supports 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p30, 1080p50, and 1080p60

 

There is an advanced standard which supports things like 10/12 bit colour depths and higher refresh rates, but standard 1080P isn't in that

I was talking about Refresh rate not Frames of the rendered video at 1080p but yeah.

Getting an IPS panel means more than getting higher refresh rate for video editing.

ffs how you guys love to complicate things.

 

60 Hz means the monitor will update the image on the lcd panel up to 60 times a second.

 

You may edit any kind of movie in your editing software, and that movie may be designed to run at 24fps or 25fps or 30 fps or 60fps or 120fps or whatever framerate you desire.

You only care about the frequency when you try to preview your project : if your computer is powerful enough,the software and the video card can play back video of any framerate but you'll only get 60 unique images each second on the monitor.

 

1080p simply means the resolution of the video is 1920x1080 progressive meaning made out of complete frames which don't have fields interlaced (older technology from the analogue days).

1080p 24 fps is valid 1080p, so is 1080p 25fps (in PAL territories, Europe and others), so is 30fps and so is 60fps.

 

It's a good idea to trade the number of updates per second in favor of better color reproduction : monitors with high frequency (120 Hz or higher) are most often made with TN panels which are faster but have poor color reproduction and the colors distort if you look at the screen from some angle (not looking straight at the monitor). This can affect how you edit the video.

Monitors with VA or IPS panels have much better color reproduction and they're not as sensitive to view angles but they're a bit slower so usually you see them capable only up to maybe 75 Hz (75 updates a second).
