1080p 240 Hz Vs 4k Ultra



Readers know that Blur Busters extensively cover motion blur reduction backlights. This is achieved via a synchronized strobe backlight to achieve CRT motion clarity without needing ultra-high refresh rates (albiet it does not fix flicker, phantom array effects, and lower-resolution persistence-of-vision effects).


i have a 144hz 1080p display. when i try overclocking it to anything above 144hz (145hz and above) the screen gets all messed up. i think this is because one display port cable on its own isnt enough to send that much information to the display. would it work if i plug an extra HDMI cable on top of having the display port cable plugged in? so if i have one display port cable and one HDMI cable could i go past 144hz?




1080p 240 hz vs 4k ultra




Gamers can take advantage of the ultra-fast 1080p 240 Hz refresh rate for blur-free visuals with outstanding smoothness. Combining the blur-busting refresh rate with Enhanced Gaming Mode results in 16ms response time, or 25ms at 4K UHD, for a competitive gaming advantage.


Enjoy ultra-smooth fluid motion and reduced ghosting. A high refresh rate makes it easier to keep track of the action, giving you a better chance of hitting your target earlier. Ideal for fast action gaming.


There are some quick checks if you are trying to troubleshoot issues with a video cable.You may test the connected devices to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue: Video cable Video source Video destinationTry the following methods to test your video setup components: Use the video cable, video source, and another video destination (display) to setup to see if the problem is with the components. Use a different video cable, video source, and the original video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup. Otherwise, the issue might happen because of the port function of your video source, or a driver issue.When you test the video setup components, it is recommended that you do the following: Investigate that the source resolution matches the capabilities of the video destination. For example, if the video destination is only capable of 720p, then the video source cannot output 1080p, as that exceeds the capabilities of the video destination. Test at a lower resolution, for example, 1024 x 768. If you are using 4K resolutions, test with a shorter cable and test each of them individually.If you are experiencing issues with audio over HDMI/DisplayPort, investigate the following: The output audio over HDMI/DisplayPort setting on the source. The compatible audio format on the destination and the source file format on the source. The destination's volume was raised. Take out the 3.5mm device if it is connecting to the hub. Note: HDMI/DisplayPort to DVI/VGA cables, adapters and converters do not support audio.


DisplayPort has been at the forefront of high refresh rate gaming for years, with even DisplayPort 1.2 cables offering up to 240Hz at 1080p resolution and 144Hz at 1440p. DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 are a major uplift in raw bandwidth over previous generations of DisplayPort, however, meaning they can do much more.


DisplayPort 1.4 has a maximum total bandwidth of 32.4 Gbps and a maximum total data rate of 25.92 Gbps. That gives it support for the High Bit Rate 3 (HBR3) mode, which opens up a wide range of resolutions and refresh rates. Along with support for 5K resolutions at up to 60Hz, and 4K resolution at up to 120Hz, DisplayPort 1.4 can handle 240Hz on both 1080p and 1440p resolutions. That offers high-speed gaming at high detail like almost no other connection type out there.


But it's important to note that there's nothing intrinsic about DisplayPort 1.4 cables which makes these kinds of benefits possible. If you want to play a game at 240Hz at 1080p resolution, you would be just as well off using the HDMI 2.0 connection, as that can handle that particular resolution and refresh rate just fine.


If you're only looking to game at 1080p, at least for now, then an HDMI 2.0 connection will suffice too. But if you have the DisplayPort option, it will give you much more future-proofing capabilities, especially as we start to see DisplayPort 2.0 adoption increase in the future. It's likely to be the high-end display cable standard in the 2020s, much like its older brethren were in the 2010s.


Let's talk about monitor formats. Are you ready to step up into the world of 4K gaming, or is a more traditional 1440p or even 1080p display ideal for your setup? What about ultrawide displays, how do they fit into the picture? We're going to answer some of the major questions we often hear in this article for 2022.


We'll start with a discussion on 1080p monitors because whenever we review a 1080p display we often see comments asking why you would buy a 1080p monitor in this day and age. And I think there are two primary reasons why you should still consider a 1080p display.


The first reason to go 1080p is simply that they are the most affordable monitors. If you don't have a lot of cash to spend, 1080p might be your only choice. As it stands today, some excellent 1080p monitors often go on sale below $200, like the AOC 24G2. So if you only have $200 to spend you can still end up with a decent 144Hz 1080p display that will be good for gaming. Meanwhile, the price floor for 1440p monitors is around $250 and at that price you're not getting the best that 1440p has to offer, whereas today's budget 1080p IPS panels are quite decent in how they look and perform.


For a lot of buyers, saving up the extra $50 to $100 to grab a higher resolution display is a tough ask, especially when that extra cash may be put towards a PC hardware upgrade like a faster GPU. And with the vast majority of today's mainstream GPUs being able to run games at 1080p high quality settings at decent frame rates, choosing a 1080p display ensures that your PC will be able to run games without issues or other sacrifices. Especially at a 24" size where the pixels don't feel too massive, I think that experience is very good for budget shoppers.


The other reason for buying 1080p is that you primarily play competitive esports games. The majority of competitive gamers and even the pro-level tournaments of today use 1080p monitors. 1080p monitors are available at higher refresh rates than any other display format, and the requirements of running games at this resolution are low, allowing for super high frame rates. The combination of a high refresh rate with a high frame rate substantially reduces latency compared to other configurations, which can give serious competitive gamers an edge.


For gamers starting out with more competitive play, 1080p 240Hz displays are pretty affordable these days. Options like the LG 27GN750 and Asus VG259QM are usually available below $300 and are a great entry point to high refresh gaming, while still providing great IPS image quality, not the crappy TN tech of old.


1080p also services high-end competitive gamers well with 360Hz options and several top-end TN options with excellent backlight strobing for the clearest image quality, such as the BenQ XL2546K. Those sorts of features are yet to make it across to 1440p displays, so 1080p is justified here if that's what you're after.


In other words, going from 1080p to 1440p costs you about 50% more for a display panel of similar quality, same sort of response times, same IPS technology, same great colors. But then going from 1440p to 4K doubles the price.


Many people (including myself) feel that the step up from 1080p to 1440p in games is visually more substantial than going from 1440p to 4K at these sorts of panel sizes, so being able to get that sort of upgrade at only a 50% increase to pricing is great bang for buck.


Normalizing for price, let's say you want to spend $350 on a monitor. Your options would be a 1080p 240Hz display like we talked about previously, a 1440p 170Hz-ish display, or a 4K 60Hz display. Unless you are really keen on competitive gaming, the 1440p 170Hz display is going to be the most balanced, delivering a decent resolution to keep games looking nice and crisp, while also delivering a decent refresh rate to ensure smooth gameplay. 2ff7e9595c
