It takes more than j just fast reaction times to win: a 240Hz monitor lets your gaming talent shine through
No one likes to lose, but it’s especially galling if the reason you lose isn’t due to the other players’ faster reaction times: it’s because they’re using superior technology that allows them to take advantage of their ability.
But look at it from another perspective: if you can give yourself the edge by buying a 240Hz monitor, surely it’s a investment worth making? The stats back it up: Nvidia research ( pcpro.link/315nvidia) revealed that gamers in Fortnite’s
Battle Royale were almost twice as deadly if they used a 240Hz monitor rather than a 60Hz screen. A 240Hz screen offered players a 34% boost versus 144Hz.
There are many reasons for this, but it boils down to numbers. Each second, a 240Hz refresh rate creates 1.6x more frames than 144Hz – and six times more than 60Hz monitors. That means you’re receiving more up-to-date information from the game that you can process a matter of milliseconds before your opponents. As we all know know, that can be the difference between life and death.
There ar are other reaso reasons too. Monito Monitors with a 240Hz ref refresh rate are tuned f for gamers, with low re response times to eli eliminate ghosting. E Even a 5ms response ti time can produce sm smears, but switch to a screen with h a 0.5ms res response rate, such as the AOC AGON AG273QZ, and dh these problems w will ll b be h history.
The fina final key ingredient to look for is adaptive sync techn technology. Support for AMD’s FreeSync o or Nvidia’s G-Sync will synchronis synchronise your graphics card’s frame rate with the monitor’s refresh rate, and th that means no stuttering and no tear tearing.
Now that you have the ingredients for a winning monitor, it’s time to start shopping around. AOC is the number-one gaming brand globally in market share (source: IDC Q1-2020) and offers two distinct lines: AGON for premium ga ming and G2 for mainstream gamers.
Both of AOC’s lines have picked up numerous awards, including the Red Do t Design Award for the AG273QCG and AG353UCG from the AGON series. Meanwhile, the 24G2U has earned “Best gaming monitor”, “Best budget gaming monitor”, “Recommended” and
“Top Tier” awards from prestigious magazines and websites.
And, with an ongoing partnership with G2 Esports, AOC knows exactly what esports players need. Take your pick from the three winning mo nitors to the right.
