Q&A What about framerate caps?

Limiting the appeal of these displays is that some games are capped at framerates lower than 240Hz. For instance, Titanfall2 is limited to 144fps, while Star WarsBattle­front2 is limited to 200fps.

Do these monitors include Freesync or G-Sync?

AMD and Nvidia’s adaptive sync technologi­es work at up to 240Hz, and indeed all the monitors here feature one of these.

Dictionary

TN— The displays use TN-type panels. These have the worst viewing angles and color accuracy, but the fastest response of 1ms. Response time— The time it takes for a pixel to transition from one color to another.

Backlight strobing— A mode that flashes the backlight on and off. This tricks the brain into seeing a clearer image when there’s fast movement happening on screen.
