LG Begins Preorders for the World's First 5K2K OLED Gaming Monitor - the LG UltraGear GX9

It's called the placebo effect. You expect the faster monitor to look better, and so it does. Until you actually try a blind test, it's impossible to say. Personally, I've seen 360hz monitors and I can't tell the difference between them and 120.


Actually, most movies now are filmed at 8K; 16K for some. But you've missed the point entirely. When you view it at 1080p -- or even 720p -- it's a more realistic, better-looking image than your 4K game-- for the reasons I mentioned.


Yes, and people interact with games through reflexes ... which for most people are well over 100ms. A tenth of that amount (i.e. 100fps) can possibly help you, but the notion you get some sort of competitive advantage from a 240+hz monitor is absurd.

I mean I notice it right away if it's not set to what I'm used to but thanks for telling me what I'm personally experiencing. It's really not that hard to be just a little attentive.
My old VA monitor would glitch out from a cold start if set to 144Hz until it warmed up, so I figured out eventually I could still use it clearly if it was powered on at 120Hz instead. I'd then forget to set it back 144Hz, fire up Rocket League and quickly notice in training that I've forgot to set it back to 144Hz. I would have to set it 120Hz before powering down if I wanted to be able to use it right at startup on the next boot.
Seeing a screen in the store or at a friend's is much different than using one daily for years. My 240Hz screen is clearly better looking to me than my 144Hz one.
I shoot shotguns competitively and can see the shot fly through the air, not everyone can see it, but there's more than less who can see it.
You say you can't see past 120 but is that really your hard limit? Are you sure it's not 126Hz or 117Hz or 135Hz or is 120 just what all you've cared to try or afford so that makes you think you're the baseline and everyone else out there is just lying for whatever reason? I think games start to look and feel acceptable around 90Hz. 60Hz feels very laggy but looks just OK, not good or great, just OK.

Lol at the 720p movie bit. Just hilarious lolol. It's because they have more than just a few milliseconds to render each frame of movie. That's it. Because they aren't interactive, that's all it is. It's about money and compute power. Gaming systems don't have near the compute available or render time. Movies have more of both and on top of that are not interactive. Make a movie instantly interactive without predetermined everything and it will breakdown very fast.
