Best for: esports competitors, FPS and fighting game players, content creators who game at high frame rates, and enthusiasts who demand the smoothest possible visuals

The 240Hz Advantage

At 240Hz, the display refreshes 240 times per second, cutting the time between frames to just 4.17 milliseconds. This means moving objects appear sharper during fast camera movements, crosshair tracking feels more precise, and input lag is reduced to near-imperceptible levels. For competitive titles like CS2, Valorant, and Overwatch 2, the difference between 144Hz and 240Hz is noticeable in flick shots and fast target acquisition. MSI MPG offers 240Hz QD-OLED panels that combine peak refresh rates with perfect pixel response, while Asus ROG Strix carries 240Hz Fast IPS options.

Who Should Choose 240Hz

240Hz monitors are designed for players who compete at a high level and can consistently push frame rates above 200fps. If your GPU cannot sustain 200+ fps in your primary games, you will not fully utilize a 240Hz panel, and a 144Hz monitor may provide better value. That said, 240Hz panels at 1440p and even 4K resolution are now available thanks to QD-OLED and Fast IPS technology, bringing ultra-smooth gameplay to higher visual fidelity. Console gamers are capped at 120fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X, making 120Hz the practical ceiling for console use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 240Hz worth it over 144Hz?

For competitive esports players, yes. The jump from 144Hz to 240Hz reduces frame time by roughly 3 milliseconds, which translates to smoother motion during fast camera movements and marginally faster visual feedback. Casual gamers may not notice the difference as much as the jump from 60Hz to 144Hz.

What GPU do I need for 240Hz gaming?

To sustain 240fps in esports titles at 1080p, a mid-to-high-range GPU like the NVIDIA RTX 4070 or AMD RX 7800 XT is sufficient. For 240fps at 1440p, you will need a high-end GPU like the RTX 4080 or better. Demanding AAA titles may not reach 240fps regardless of hardware.

Can a 240Hz monitor run at 120Hz for consoles?

Yes. 240Hz monitors are backward compatible with lower refresh rates. When connected to a PS5 or Xbox Series X via HDMI 2.1, the monitor will run at 120Hz for supported games and fall back to 60Hz for others.
