The 120Hz Experience

At 120Hz, the display refreshes 120 times per second, producing motion that feels noticeably smoother and more responsive than 60Hz. This is the target refresh rate for current-generation consoles: PS5 and Xbox Series X both support 120fps output in compatible titles, making 120Hz the ideal console gaming spec. On PC, 120Hz is achievable in demanding games at 4K resolution where pushing higher frame rates would require a top-tier GPU. Several LG and Samsung displays offer 4K at 120Hz with HDMI 2.1 for a direct console connection.

Who Should Choose 120Hz

120Hz monitors are the right choice if you game primarily on a console, play graphically demanding single-player titles on PC, or want a general-purpose display that handles everything from browsing to gaming at a smooth frame rate. If you play competitive multiplayer titles on PC and want maximum fluidity, consider stepping up to 144Hz or 240Hz where your hardware can drive the extra frames. For budget office use, 1080p monitors at 60Hz or 75Hz are a more cost-effective option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do PS5 and Xbox Series X support 120Hz?

Yes. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X support 120fps output in compatible games, but you need a monitor with HDMI 2.1 to enable 4K at 120Hz. At 1080p, HDMI 2.0 is sufficient for 120Hz.

Can you tell the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz?

Yes. The jump from 60Hz to 120Hz is one of the most noticeable refresh rate upgrades. Motion appears significantly smoother, mouse cursors feel more responsive, and gameplay feels less sluggish. Most users notice the difference immediately.

Is 120Hz enough for PC gaming?

For casual and single-player gaming, 120Hz provides a smooth experience that most players will find satisfying. For competitive multiplayer games where reaction time matters, 144Hz or 240Hz offers an incremental advantage in motion clarity.
