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

hfr is a meme to get you to buy, buy, buy!

Recently bought a 144hz 1440p IPS w freesync, but it won't come in till next month cause of the rona. Only ever used budget panels so very excited to have something nice.

oh yeah I hate when my monitor starts glitching out with chromatic aberration because it doesn't have FreeSync™

didn't know freesync helped prevent alien hacker attacks

>The difference in colour is worth way more than the difference in refresh rate.
The leap from TN to IPS in terms of color, is equal to the leap from IPS to VA. Most of the shit you've heard about VAs are 10 yo outdated memes.

Do 1440p 60hz IPS displays with ~1ms response time exist? I can only find 144hz+ displays with those specs and I don't play competitive games or care about high refresh rates.

I am currently using an older 1080p 60hz 1ms monitor and I want to upgrade only the resolution and colors.

Certain games have much more of a benefit than others.

I can tell you Apex legends makes a very big difference, while CSGO or valorant, are next to no difference.

Apex legends muzzle flash at its peak would be unseeable through on 60hz, on 144 you could see through it easily.

on a game like csgo which doesnt have a lot of visual clutter, you will gain a little bit of reaction time about 0-3ms, depending on what frame enemies peak you or you peak them etc. its rare, but sometimes a fight comes down to 3 ms and you will win when otherwise you would have lost

When I first moved to 144hz monitor it didn't seem like much of a difference, until I had to play a game locked at 60fps then it felt like I was playing at 30fps again.

I used a CRT at 96Hz for the longest time. It looked real nice especially with fast motion but the resolution (1600x1200) was tiny. I now use a 4K IPS LCD monitor at 60Hz and in my opinion resolution is more important than frame rate. 60 can still look fine as long as it's stable without dropped frames.

75Hz is an alright bump up from 60Hz.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GET 144HZ+ YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO 60HZ EVER

Got my first 144hz monitor, IPS from a 60hz TN panel
Colors are amazing but games feel more blurry now and fluid, feels like there is a slight motion blur its been weeks and im not used to it, its a better experience though.

I think 60hz must have ruined my eyes.

No, 144Hz ruined your eyes. You'll never be able to look at 60 again.

4K is a must if you're doing any sort of productivity. Only buy a 1440p monitor if you're a incel hardcore gamer that plays shooty games (cringe).

Get 4K, HDR, 60Hz for best experience at a reasonable price.

240hz g-sync 1080p user here, it's a fucking blast

I have the one from your pic, it's definitely great upgrade especially for online fps. Worth it if you have money to spare

1440p 144hz gysync ips panel, recommend 100%

1440p 75Hz if you dont have the hardware to achieve 1440p 144Hz
Dont settle for 1080

I can live with 1080 for a few more years

My old asus tn 144hz monitor had better colors than my 144hz samsung made va panel. It might just be the color tuning.

Gross.
I still have a 1080p monitor on the side and its so fucking jarring to move anything over to it

240hz has minimal impact, and you need a shit ton of other gear including minimal details to make it that far. It's only used by actual top-ranking esports gamers. So, if you're a rich fuck, sure. But if you're just well off like myself, with no more than a few thousand a year to put on gaming, then I wouldn't recommend it no.

60 to 144hz however is pretty huge, and not a massive investment either. My KDR and rank got an average of 11-17% improvement in CSGO, Overwatch, PUBG and some others after I upgraded my gear for 144hz. ~15% may not seem like much, but for a long time gamer like myself it's a huge difference from such a simple and fast thing. But to be honest it feels like much more than that. It's difficult to explain for those who haven't tried it, but the difference really isn't unlike 30fps -> 60fps. A good player can still dominate on 30fps, but on 60fps it's like on hyper mode. Similarly, from 60 to 144hz there are so many emergent benefits that seem to come to play.

Less choppiness means its easier to spot objects and movement early, your mouse hand becomes more accurate, which both translate to faster reaction times. The smooth gameplay makes it easier to also spot gameplay mistakes, and just generally delivers a more relaxed experience, somehow boosting motivation and drive. There's also a lot more leeway. Prior to this I tended to optimize the settings to just above 60fps, which meant that sometimes rarely it would dip below, and 40-50fps is just fucking atrocious. Meanwhile, dipping below 144fps to say 100-120 has a far smaller impact on your performance. For me it also had the psychological impact of erasing excuses. 144hz is so fucking smooth I had to face the fact that when I fucked up, it was me. Not the shitty computer, not the p2w guy on the other side. This helped me to face my demons and learn better faster than I did before.

this was like reading a copypasta lmao

I have a 144hz/1440p IPS, 144hz/4k, and 240hz/1080p TN.
The jump up from 60 to 144hz is insane. If you thought 60 was buttery smooth, you're in for a shock after playing in 144hz. The issue is you need a card to actually run at those frames, and if you want the game to look at its absolute best (1440p+Ultra), you probably won't hit above 120+.
4k is simply not worth it at the moment. No modern game with shaders and post processing runs at 144hz/4k, especially with intensive shit like RTX or SMAA. I'd say that if you get a 1440p monitor and turn on SMAA, you'd be hard pressed to find a difference in texture quality or jaggies. It's simply not worth the resource cost.
1080p to 1440p however is a huge leap. So much so that in a lot of FPS games like PUBG/Planetside 2/Tarkov, I have trouble seeing people in dense foliage in 1080p because jaggies, but at 1440p, I can see them clearer and get killed less often.
Personally I don't feel much difference between 144hz to 240hz. As long as it's 120+, I get the feeling that the game is buttery smooth.
tl;dr: get a 1440p/144hz monitor. It is the best of both worlds.

What kind of GPU do you need to play modern games at 1440p 144hz on maximum settings?
Is this even achievable right now? All the benchmarks I see still use 1080p for high refresh rates or low refresh rates for higher resolutions.

most 1440p are 27" and 1080p are 24", for most cases it's exactly the same shit as far as DPI is concerned, I have a 24" 1440p and my old 24" 1080p as my side monitor, I can see the difference reading but in game it's basically the same for me, and my vision is perfect

i have a 144 hz gsync monitor and rtx 2080
its a little bit of a meme since even a 2080 is not enough to hit 144 fps on modern titles unless its some pixel indie shit
in my opinion the difference above 60 fps is very small and i cannot tell the difference for example between 90 and 120 fps unless i have a visible fps counter

60hz to 144hz is very noticeable, you feel the difference better if you try moving back to 60hz after a couple weeks playing at 144hz, it's that feeling of going from 60hz back to the 30hz age
