Can we talk about monitors Yas Forums?
Has anyone used 60hz, 144hz and 240hz that can give me quick rundown on if it's worth the upgrade for online FPS?

I used 60hz for over a decade before switching to a 144hz monitor this year. The difference is considerable, but it's not going to magically make you any better at the games you play. If you're already a decent player at 60hz it will help you some, but it won't magically make you better.
I can't speak to 240hz but from what I know it's only marginally better than 144hz. It's a noticeable difference but not as noticeable as the 60hz -> 144hz jump.

I'd probably avoid 240hz for now its hard enough getting shit to run at 144 stable but I look forward to the day 240 becomes standard.

144hz is nice for competitive titles, but not required. I would say most of the time you're not going to be playing against someone that is also using a 144hz monitor

>will le expensive peripheral make me less shit at this game?
no, you buy a better monitor because it looks nicer

The jump from 60hz to 140hz is very noticable, and going back will feel clunky as shit. If you're going to get a high hz monitor do yourself a favor and pay out for free/gsync, as it smooths shit out even at sub 60fps.
Don't make the mistake of ignoring this advice, vsync is incredibly shitty past 60fps.

I used a TN 144hz, it broke so I had to switch to an IPS 60hz.
The difference in colour is worth way more than the difference in refresh rate. So, in all cases, go for panel with better colour accuracy over refresh rate.
I run a 1080Ti, and honestly , most games do not run at 144hz, unless you're playing CSGO or something. 144hz is nice, but, realistically, even if you're using a 2080Ti, new games aren't going to be hitting beyond 70-80 at the best settings.
The difference between 80hz and 60hz, whilst there, is much less noticeable.

I wish there were more 75 to 95hz IPS panels with adaptive sync. My CPU can't handle 120+ but I do want smoother framerates

I have a 144hz monitor as my main and a 60hz one as my second. Just moving the mouse over from one screen to the next is noticeable. Even simply games like Risk of Rain 2 cranked up to uncapped from 60fps is a huge change in fidelity. But bear in mind you will be cursed and can never go back afterwards.

g-sync/freesync makes all the difference in the world
