Dawid: 144 Hz vs 240 Hz Me watching on a 10 year old 19" Philips TV: Yes

Looking forward for you to do the same test with 360Hz and 144Hz when the 360Hz comes out.

"You're just playing a game that is playing really beautifully." That is all that matters to me.

Upgraded: Anna Does Tech Stuff

To make the test more scientific, you should have used an easier to run game like CSGO and capped the fps at 300 for the entire run (or any number above 240 that your system can run 99% of the time without dipping below). The reason for doing so is because having fluctuating fps is an additional uncontrolled variable that does have a tangible effect on the perceived smoothness of the game depending on how high or low it moves.

You can feel it much better than just looking at it. The mouse aim feel is definitely where you can tell the difference.

This is BS, human eye only can see 50 dollars monitor. Period

"huhahhahahahaha....can youuuu cut that out????" *thinks to himself* "nahhh, ppl need to know"

i love high refreshrates, but i also have no problem with low framerates as long as it doesnt stutter.

144hz: yep yep definitely smoother.

I'd say you should have included a few 60 & 120 in there because it could be easy to guess between just two options.

I think you should have used a random number generator because you both tend to alternate between the two. I think a large amount of those answers were because of that.

I think the difference is more noticeable when the frametimes are better, which is 240. The input lag will be much lower.

Cries in overclocked to 75hz 32" LCD TV 😜 Great video, I'm always curious about this comparisons to see if it's really noticeable or if it's barely worth it.

Is there a sort of "disconnect" if your PC can't run the game at 144Hz to match your display's refresh rate? Or are you just missing out on being able to use V-Sync?

I can't see the difference between 240 and 144 tbh, the difference between 30-60-90-120 are all noticeable to me.( when I quickly switch refresh rate in games), I really can't tell the difference between 144 and 240.

What fun to watch. I love the interaction between DAWID and Anna.

"I can count!" *2 minutes later* "Six out of ten!"

60 vs 144 is a huge jump, the 144 vs 360 jump should be as comparable and easy to tell apart. I would love to see a 144 vs 360 test.

Thanks for the video! It was pretty interesting to watch, especially that fact, that person new to games had better result than gamer ;D (Ik, people are different in terms of feeling the smoothness)

Just discovered your channel, shoutout to both you and Anna. 240Hz will probably be something that very little of us will get over the next months coming with more expensive games in terms of graphical fidelity and technology. Allow me to be cynical: if developers were to prioritize optimization over graphics, all games would be smooth. I'm a mechnically-driven player so 1080p with the higher refresh rate is better for me in any given situation. It doesn't look weirder, it just feels better and all games benefit from it. Something I would actually recommend in terms of testing is if a person can tell, without cheating, if the game has motion blur or not with the highest refresh rate. Motion blur is often used these days to "smooth" the stuttery feel of 30 (because it IS stuttery) and, on a personal point of view, I started to develop syndromes similar to motion sickness.

would have been nice to know how you did the test exaclty - did you switch the monitors phyically, did you just cap the framerate, or something else?

@ 7:11 i just really like that overused meme it's just there but it's so funny how he is talking about how good the frame rate is and how sure he is

Video starts at 3:41

Would like to see this compared to 60hz 4k and 144hz. I am running a 3080 at 4k on a 60hz 4k monitor. Max FPS at max settings on Cold war or warzone is around 100 warzone. 85 cold war. Settings drop for higher speed? Is it going to be worth it?

If you turn off the FPS counter in the corner and just play I find it really hard to notice when a framerate is 75 or 120 or 90 etc. I just stop noticing because it's all still smooth as long as you have Gsync/freesync. I can't stand screen tearing so I always used vsync but after using gsync I can never go back. I thought people were exaggerating vsync lag but it just feels BAD after using gsync. Not to mention it's so freeing in terms of settings to just have to make sure your in a target fps RANGE rather then having to turn down settings to hit your monitors max HZ to avoid vsync drop stutters.

The only channel with "the beast" in every new video. Maybe doing a drinking game out of that? ;-)

Do a side by side comparison. Double blind again but possibly having the same frame rate on both monitors sometimes too.

- Would you rather play on a 240hz or 120hz refresh rate monitor? - Yes

It's like gas station coffee vs gourmet coffee. You were perfectly happy spending 99 cents a cup now you're miserable unless you spend 4-5 times as much for the same buzz.

Man the video felt super dragged I was about to leave. Then finally the tests and comparisons have begun. Like my advice for better retention is to get to what you promise as soon as possible. Because many people use youtube as a search engine and need quick answers. Anyhow thanks for the video anyway.

Just stumbled upon your channel recently and I'm honestly baffled how you don't have more subs. Good stuff!

I know this is an old video, but I think it would be interesting to reverse this. Set it to 144 and say it's 240 Hz and vice versa. And then see if the tester will indicate the actually higher indicator as better.

Corporate wants you to tell the difference between the two refresh rates Pam: they are the same refresh rates

I think it was pretty obvious when she was simply turning around, we could see the trail in the image details, although it might just be easier for us to tell from the video rather than in real life experience. But to say it played a huge difference in gaming experience, not that sure, maybe in competitive gaming but I don't do those and I think I would've been ok with the 144Hz, I think.. o0 thanks for video !

More bleeping Anna! My favorite. We need more clips of Anna swearing at video games.

Can you suggest me which one to buy? I have two options QHD 165Hz DPI P3 100% Or FHD 300HZ sRGB 100% For a laptop i am going for with everything other same in both the variants except their quality of screen as i mentioned above. (i am going to buy Asus rog strix scar 15 2021 ryzen 7 model) Help me out to get the better choice over the choice of display. I m using the laptop for botg gaming and graphics work.

0:27 The slide trying to make 120hz look like 30hz made me laugh way more than it should've

ms= the lower the smoother 60fps = 16.66ms 144fps = 6.94ms 240fps = 4.16ms 360fps = 2.77ms 540fps= 1.85ms 1000fps = 1ms

yeah but is not only that... when you use a lower hz you get more input lag, and if you don't configure well the override settings all goes to shit on the not native frecuency of the monitor (144hz)

I would like to critique your methodology. In your tests, you run a 'control' in which you showed both 144 and 240hz, and labeled them as such. You then asked Anna to later identify them when displayed in a random unlabeled manner. While this may test whether or not it is physically possible to distinguish between the two experiences when specifically looking for a difference, it suffers from a biased focus of observation. Instead, I believe a better test would involve a subject instead simply be asked to rank their visual experience as 'better' or 'worse'; not specifying that the settings being changed are indeed the framerate. Further more, if the participant was a gamer, at the end, they could be asked what setting they believe had been changed. I believe such a revised method would better analyze the subjective experiential differences.

That was so adorable! Keep it up 😁

Very bold of you to call Anna a noob.

I think my first LCD was a viewsonic. It was a 19" back in the mid 2000s.

I've only used 60hz monitors except for in the old CRT days when I used 100hz because 60hz had to much flicker on CRT. I've never thought it mattered since I dont to competitive gaming and since I play console at least as much as PC probably more and many games run at 30 even 60fps seems like a lot. I think if I bought a monitor now I would get at least 144hz but I bought a 4k 60hz monitor only 2 years ago so i am not upgrading soon.

I was expecting the Risitas meme with Dawid's results. Anna's eyes obviously have a better refresh rate than Dawid's.

I thought the title said "Can YOU tell the difference?". Then I read it correctly and it still said 'you'.

Then you have me, still playing with peasantry 60hz.🙃

I got 3 PC’s on on lounge tv 60hz, other 100hz and 144hz monitors. The 100 and 144hz I can’t tell the difference at all, both are smooth as butter. One connect to my 4K tv 60hz it’s a massive difference.

I'm getting a XIDAX zen 3 ryzen 5 5600 32gigs 3200 hearts ram RTX 3070 do I use 1440 144 monitor or 1080p 240hz

Absolutely love your videos...always fun and I always learn something. Wonderful seeing Anna in your vid testing out both hertz and bleeps.

Well if Anna could tell the difference then maybe it would be worthwhile for me with my old eyes to go ahead and upgrade. Nice review guys, thanks.

how are you playing Doom if Its software capped at 200 Hertz? you can have the monitor set for that but it doesn't mean you're hitting it, you need to put an on screen FPS

That was really useful thanks

As a competitive gamer, I can assure you there’s absolutely a difference.. if your GPU is able to consistently output to 240 plus fps

what was that graphic where the image got worse with 144hz.. lol

Sad part is CRT is smoother at 75Hz than any TN/IPS/VA at 144+ . Also annoying you need a 240+ to even come close to CRT smoothness

I have a 75hz monitor right now but I’m not sure whether to get 144hz or 240hz

Honestly at that speed it's very unlikely that small differences in speeds will effect your game play. At that point it's more of your reaction time at that point. And my view on graphics is be a generation behind. You save a lot of money and you just adapt to whatever your at. I recently had to go back to using a 1080p because fedex smashed my 2k monitor. It sucked at first but I adjusted. About to get a new one though!

so my rtx 2060 ko and ryzen 1600x wouldnt work ?

Can you review the lynx pc

At the start of 2020, I switched from a Sony Bravial 40in HDTV to a 60hz ultrawide monitor, it was a huge jump in detail. Until that point my eyesight in the natural world was 2020, now things are blurry at mid distance. I'm worried that staring at high definition damages mid to far level detail in reality. Anyone else experience this?

why does he sound like Dark Helmet? "say goodbye to your two best friends...and I don't mean the ones in the winnebago!!"

I just noticed but good job for making it to 108k subs!

Whoa whoa whoa. What is that keyboard?!

Shouldn't this test be done at the same settings with a frame limiter? If that's not possible with Doom, then I would pick a different game.

karen: 4:14 also karen: 4:49 #noOffense

There a list on all PC games that will show you what games can run on what refresh rate?

Dawid, I think you have some sort of colorblindness. The colour you called magenta at around the 1:29 minute mark is actually light blue/cyan. Get it checked out mate

enjoy a good laugh from here onwards 6:25. 😂😂😂😂

I have only ever played games on a 60hz 4K monitor so any of these settings would be better than what i am used too.

so 11 months later, time for 360hz vs 240?

1:30 That's cyan. LMAO

144 fps is good enough upgrade for me from 60hz... 🤣👌🏻

i just got an 240 hz monitor but there wasnt a 240 hz cable...

Is that the NZXT h510 case??

I know I have posted a lot or question's already, but I could use a lot information, before I actually build/buy parts my pc that I will be using in next 5-10 year's with some minor upgrade's after each 2-4 year's. I plan to use it for gaming (gta5, deadside, battlefield4/5, starcraft 2...), and 3d modeling/rendering (autocad, maya, home planner...). I only have 4500$ to spend for everything. Do you think this is good enough/compatible/reliable pc build for me + having some room to minor upgrades? I used partpicker list ( and only that is avaible on it).

I can't even tell the difference with 60hz vs 240hz

*laughs in 15Hz*

Im just going to quote another video on the topic, "if you know what to look for you'll notice the difference" buuuut most users wont notice it.

I play at 280hz 1080p 27” and i’m moving up to 1440p 165hz 27” as Warzone just looks ugly at 1080p 27”. As i’m not a professional gamer, i would love to watch movies and youtube at a nicer display and get smooth gaming experience at 165hz. This is my point of view using a 27” display. Pc specs : i7-8700k, RTX 2080super,16gb ram 3600mhz

Definitely not scientific and prolly no where accurate but damn relatable, genuine and entertaining I couldn’t stop watching 😂. They’re so cute together.

30 to 60 is the biggest difference ever. 60 to 144 is still a very noticeable difference but not as huge as 30 to 60. 144 to 240 has a difference but very minimal.

My problem with my 240hz monitor is thst 240hz irself its never stable ,with 144hz if you have a moderate setting the fps barely drops but 240 goes 100-200-240 changes alot

144 seemed nice but slightly overkill compared to my 75hz monitor until I had to go back to 75hz after a week.

Omg such a diffrance!

Lol why did I sit through a 5 minute segment about a test that didn’t make sense

I notice it tended to be roughly the same point in testing that you both started to mess up. Presuming vsync is off, what it might be is frame dips. Everything else being equal, 240 is noticable, but if the action is busy you might notice inconsistencies in frame timing more on the 240 which makes it "feel" worse than 144. In rare instances only, Doom is reportedly very well optimised, so generally what "feels" better is 240.

Please do 240hz vs 600hz! Or maybe if possible 3600 hz!

but did Anna click "apply"?

GOOD VIDEO SUBBED

I have to say being that up until recently (this year) when I finally finished my pc I was always use to about 30 to 60 fps on a tv from a console and of course even with the pc on a tv 60hz is the max. Then I got a 165Hz monitor and was like holy balls this is amazing. Now when I play console games Im extremly sensitive to games that dip even slightly below 30 fps.

My laptop has a 300hz 1080p IPS panel. The sad thing is the 3070 "Max Q" can't really make use of it. 😂 😢 Forza it can, CS GO, for some reason, no, even with the 10750H

im thinkink about buying a 240hz or 165hz, i want a 240 but idk if rly need it, would 165 bjust as good?

Noob question: can you actually tell the difference between the two when your GPU is NOT actually outputting 240 FPS to match the Hz on the screen? Is there a benefit to having a 240Hz screen in day to day use?

test 5 for Anna wasn't caught on the video for some reason, where she must have said 144hz is 240? if you needed a 2nd game to test CS:GO or Fortnite would have been good, pretty sure you can play both for free :)

Anna should use her freezing powers to find out and then let it go, let it go, let it go...

You know, the frame times drop dramatically going from 60 fps to 144 fps, but they only drop by a very small amount going from 144 fps to 240 fps, even though there's a larger difference in fps.

Jumping from a Civic 2000 to a Mercedes is Huge. But jumping from a Mercedes to a Lamborghini is not that huge, Is exactly what happens here.

Haha, that shirt. :-D
