60Hz can run 120fps.
If you have dual 60Hz monitors, your max would be 60Hz.
And if you have a 144Hz and 60Hz dual, your max will still be 60Hz.
If you have a 120fps game running on a 60Hz monitor, you will also still only see 60 new frames a second and you will always see the lowest number because you are limited to the lowest attribute.
165Hz is better than 144Hz especially if you're gaming.
Any game that runs at 165Hz will be smoother than 144z.
If you can't spend much or are on a tight budget or prioritize other monitor features, a 144hz monitor is a fantastic option.
But if you have a powerful graphics card, and don't mind spending a bit more, a 165hz monitor might be the way to go.
240Hz and 360Hz monitors also exist but they require incredibly high-end hardware to run such high frame rates.
165Hz hits a nice balanced sweet spot for buttery smooth gaming without cost or performance overkill.
Popular gaming monitors among professionals include ASUS VG248QE, a 24-inch monitor with a 1080p resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, and a TN panel; BenQ Zowie XL2546, a 24.5-inch monitor with a 1080p resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, a 1ms response time, and a TN panel; and LG 27GL850.
A curved monitor provides a more immersive experience than a flat monitor, which is why gamers prefer it.
When choosing a gaming monitor size, start with your anticipated distance from the screen.
24-inch monitors are best for distances of 3 feet or less.
27-inch displays work well for 3 to 4 feet.
If you are interested in a larger gaming monitor, 32-inch screens work best when sitting about 5 feet away.
The difference between a top-tier gaming monitor and a regular monitor can be significant, with top-tier monitors offering: Higher refresh rates, such as 240Hz or 300Hz, for a smoother gaming experience.
Faster response times, such as 1ms or 2ms, to reduce ghosting and blurring.
