Does a 4k monitor look significantly better than 1080p?

[apple]

To all those on a 4k monitor, does it look noticeably better than a 1080p screen?

[EliteGamer]

Right... what about 1ms vs 4ms in games like CSGO?? Will I notice the difference??

[Supafly]

Yes, lower is better but there is 1000ms in a second so I doubt very much you'd notice 3ms difference regardless of the game.

Especially when you consider the typical person has a reaction time of over 100 ms.

Yup. Plus think about pings when playing online. Going from 40ms to 50ms isn't really noticable its when it goes from 40 to 80+ that you'd really notice.

Then why do professionals and alot of people constantly say anything more than 1ms isn't acceptable for gaming. ALot of people say you can tell a difference between 1ms and 4ms.

For screen response times, it's a matter of not having even the slightest ghosting. Anything higher than 1ms, will have at least slightly noticeable blurriness thanks to ghosting.

Can you? I sure as hell haven't noticed difference between an 8ms screen, 4ms or 1ms. I always aim for as low as possible as it adds up but if everything else is pretty low already that 3ms is negligable.

How do you test it? One of my monitors is XB271HK which is 4ms and my other is Asus PG248Q 1ms.

You'd need specialist software.
Play using one then play same game using the other. Can you tell a difference? Without some software telling you there is a 3ms difference you won't know. If you switch input methods, have a higher ping etc then you could say you notice......In reality though you can't be 100% sure its the 3ms difference in the screen or the input device or ping.

The only thing I notice between my two monitors is the resolution on one and the refresh rate on the other. Input lag seems the same. I've done some tests like clicking left mouse to shoot in CSGO and it's the same instinct reaction on screen on both of my monitors, yet 144hz is like 8ms and 60hz is 16ms. I can't tell the difference with input between the two, but I can see that 144hz is smoother.

Thats my point. 1ms 4ms, 5ms, or 8ms is so small in difference you can't tell. Only with slower hardware/ping could you suspect it but thats just guessing.

As for the refresh rate I completely agree. Even though I don't game on my second monitor I still keep it @144hz because it's smoother even on the desktop.

At high refresh you get the most recent image your GPU produces more frequently. Given the choice of a slightly lower response time vs refresh I'd go with high refresh rate every time.

I don't even notice that difference. I'm an Australian; 350 PING is fine and playable :)
