Yes, comparison should be based on modern games in which there's a tradeoff between framerate, resolution and budget.

The screen I want to own would be a 1440p 120-144 Hz, but I'm only at 1440p 73Hz as it is now, which is still quite nice. I won't consider a game playable unless I can have atleast a 45fps average and nothing bellow 30fps min, meaning that I don't consider Paladins playable on my laptop anymore -_-

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Oh lets rub it in a little, i have a 1440p 144Hz IPS monitor, ooooooh maaaan, sooo smoooooth :D:D:D:D:D

 

Though, nothing compared to that 720p 600hz that linus reviewed this month/last, that was smoother than Austin Powers xD

i think 1440p 90fps is the sweet spot between smoothness and graphics
