Another Monitor question

[haggerty]

I dont recall noticing a difference when I upgraded from an old 60hz monitor to a nice new 144hz other than greatly improved colors/picture quality.  In my own opinion I wouldnt pay much of a premium just to get higher hz, but these days most of the monitors have it anyway so might as well get it.

I noticed a huge increase when I moved into my Dell S2716DG G-Sync 27" monitor from my old Samsung 27" P2770. In fact I still have it connected to my desktop as a secondary monitor but as soon as I save up the extra $$$ I am getting 2 more of these Dell monitors to finally flesh out my desktop setup.

I believe it's one of those things that will differ from person to person. I notice a pretty significant difference between my 144hz 1080p monitor and the 60hz tv I use as a second monitor right beside it. After playing on the 144hz I have become immune to the difference (can't find the right words for that one) -- until I drag my browser or even my cursor alone to the second screen.

To me, it's worth a bit extra for 144hz. But I am still young

It's amazing how fast we can get used to almost anything. I use my old 24" monitor at our meetings twice a year, at home I have this 30" with a higher resolution. The only noticeable issue is that I have to change the video settings and the locations for radio screens when swapping monitors. Well, my numerous desktop icons also change location but that's not a biggie. In a few hours everything feels familiar and normal. Of course in my case it helps that the two monitors have the same pixel size which makes text and icons appear in the same size on the screen. The image quality and colour temperature also look similar and the refresh rate is the same. I don't know by experience how it would feel to return from 144 Hz to 60, that might make a difference especially for an active gamer. In desktop use that doesn't make any difference.
