Agreed, I wasn't implying 144Hz is only good for competitive gaming, I could never go back to 60Hz and I dont play competitive games other than Quake Champions occasionally (I was replying to dvsman's comment on wanting to upgrade from 144 to 240).

Im also at 144 but from what ive read & videos ive watched on the subject apparently the jump from 144 to 240 is much less noticeable vs. 60 to 144. If you're into competitive gaming then this recent video might interest you:

Some people claimed running Sekiro over 60fps threw off the timing in certain situations, I dont know how true that is but Sekiro was pretty difficult so I didnt wanna chance it lol. The mod you linked looks much more polished and interesting than what was out at the time tho, Thanks for the info!

Well I played through half of Sekiro at 60Hz / 60fps and then upgraded to a 144hz monitor however Sekiro is locked 60fps max and I saw no difference or improvement in ghosting vs the 60Hz monitor. It's not until around 80fps and up when you start noticing smoother frames / less ghosting on...

About 9 months ago I replaced my main 23" 1080P 60Hz monitor with a Dell 27" 1080P 144hz Freesync model and the resolution hasn't bothered me at all, then again I've also been both PC & Console gaming on a 50" 1080P Plasma for several years as well, I will aim for a 1440P monitor on the next...

Quake 2's single player didnt age all that well but after a couple hours of playing the RTX version and tweaking mouse sensitivity etc. I was hooked all over again, You start noticing a lot of little details that are only possible with ray tracing lol. Like seeing a shadow appear on a wall...

^^ This 100% I was actually upset with myself for waiting so long to move from a 60Hz to 144Hz LCD.. LCD's have a lot of problems but higher refresh models certainly help with one of the bigger issues they face... motion handling quality.. but you need to be at 100+ fps to really see the...

I can't believe this thread has remained on the front page 99% of the time since 2005, Wowzers! I hope everyones FW900 is treating them well! I certainly miss mine :depressed:

I've heard the F520 was very unreliable but don't have any solid proof, I was interested in buying one shortly after the FW900 but could never find any for sale, the F520's .22mm pitch rating was certainly intriguing.

I always had Vsync enabled with the FW900 (or any CRT) screen tearing is unacceptable for me with gaming lol, and depending on the game I usually ran 75Hz or 85Hz. Luckily my eyes weren't very sensitive to refresh flicker (except 60Hz was a little noticable). If a game didn't support Vsync I...

I'm guessing it has something to do with under 1% of Steam users running 4K displays (judging from current steam hardware survey data).

You'd probably be singing a different tune if you saw what PS4 / X1 look like on our Kuro plasma, but there's no use in starting a silly argument lol. It's all good Plasma definately is dead as nobody produces them anymore (unfortunately). Carry on folks.

Some extent? It's not even close.. I have a Samsung VA based panel PC monitor and Kuro plasma in the same room, The Plasma is worlds better at maintaing details during motion (esp. when comparing 60fps gaming) while the VA is a blurry mess in comparison. Even the Samsung TN based monitor that I...

That is really odd, maybe im not as picky but my eyes see vastly superior black levels from the Kuro vs. any LCD ive owned (and currently own) and they're not far off my FW900 (RIP) and XBR960N (still working). the plasma only emits a faint glow when displaying a solid black screen in a dark...

I had my Kuro and FW900 in the same room for a couple years, The black levels on the Plasma were reaallly close to the point the difference was only really noticeable when looking at a solid black screen, I took this shot off the plasma in a completely dark room: http://i.imgur.com/LNjIwxc.jpg
