LG Display shows higher refresh rates improve gaming performance
Higher refresh rates in gaming monitors are linked to improved real-world game performance, LG Display said on Wednesday, citing results from a performance experiment it presented at an international academic conference. In a blind test of 31 adult gamers, hit scores in a first-person shooter improved 38 percent at 480Hz compared with 60Hz, and rose 10 percent versus 240Hz. Participants also reported higher satisfaction, citing smoother screen transitions and easier target tracking. Input lag fell by more than 10 milliseconds at 480Hz versus 60Hz.
