Every Monitor Refresh Rate Explained: How Many Hz Do You Really Need?

Every monitor refresh rate explained, from 60Hz to 1000Hz — how much smoother each one really looks and which one is worth your money.

What does 60Hz, 120Hz, 144Hz or 240Hz actually mean, and is a 360Hz or 500Hz monitor worth it? We compare 60, 75, 90, 120, 144, 165, 180, 240, 360, 480, 600 and 1000Hz side by side in slow motion: refresh rate vs FPS, frame times in milliseconds, response time (GtG vs MPRT), ghosting and overdrive, OLED vs LCD motion clarity, and VRR with FreeSync and G-Sync. Plus 144Hz vs 240Hz for gaming, why your new monitor might still be running at 60Hz in Windows, and which refresh rate you should choose.

What's your monitor's refresh rate right now? And what's the highest refresh rate you've actually tried? Let me know in the comments.
