What 60, 144 and 240 Hz mean, and how to match a monitor to your PC or console.

What to check

Refresh rate is how many times per second the screen updates. Higher feels smoother in fast games.

Your PC or console has to output enough frames to use a high refresh rate.

Check ports: high refresh rates often need DisplayPort or HDMI 2.1.

Compare size, resolution and refresh rate together before you press Purchase Now.
