360 HZ Monitor

[𝕎𝔸𝕃𝕋𝔼ℝ]

What's your opinion on the 360 hz monitor
I feel like it has no purpose for casual gamers and is only meant for esports

My older bro was surprised he couldn't play the Crash Trilogy at 144 Hz on his new PC. It kept wanting to play at a lower fps like 42 fps. I told him it was because the game would only play at 60 Hz. Yeah.

overkill,

my monitor overclocks to 165hz but i never use it.

serious question

do 144hz monitors reduce eyestrain vs 60hz, assuming same fps?

Maybe. (Assuming your frame rate is higher then 60 frames per second.)
On the other hand, if the screen is at the same distance, your focus point lies at the exact same distance, potentially giving you the same eye-strain.

In my opinion, your brain will automatically try to have your eyes attempt to focus on an image that is blurry, when initially confronted with it. Potentially causing more eye-strain. So, if you pan an image around on a screen, it may seem more blurry on lower frequencies. But when you are used to it, it may not matter, because your brain has already accepted, and adapted to it being blurry when you move it, no longer making your eyes try to focus on it, causing the same eye-strain.
Looking at screens will almost always cause eye-strain. That's what I think.
It's impossible to say without having access to scientific data. Neuroscience isn't any of my fortes, you know?

It doesn't seem like anyone has any scientific data on it. Maybe the creator of the screen? They may have ran some tests. But it seems something that would be very difficult to actually test. Maybe with an eye-scanner?
I think an optician may be able to help you out here, if you really have to know this. But even they, may not have the right equipment for it, because your eye will probably rotate, during the testing procedure. Making it difficult to keep track off, in regard of it is trying to focus on something, or when it moves.

There must be a point from where it does not matter anymore, I think.
If you have a rotating bicycle wheel, at some point, it becomes impossible to see any of the spokes, and your brain starts to see all kind of weird motions in them. Like the spokes running backwards, or something like that. But the motions perceived may be different from individual to individual. I think. Or maybe they aren't?

You'd have to test it to be sure. Have your school run a few tests or something. But I am not sure if 360 Hz will be enough. It still seems a bit low, if you want to recreate the bicycle wheel setup. May just as well use a regular wheel, for the test. But testing the monitor for it, may also be an idea.

But these guys probably just want to sell it, for whatever purpose.

Anyway, take a look at this. It's probably more interesting to read, then to watch those videos, or see me write about how at different frequencies light may transmit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum
Makes sense, if you think about how different eyes creatures have, and how they perceive things.
And the human eye isn´t that advanced. Well, it´s advanced, but not like with some other animals, who see things very different.

Anyway, so far the topic of eye-strain. You may get a different answer, depending on who, of what, you ask.

Argh, that video. Is it just me, or do these guys look like blow-dolls on purpose?
Like, seriously, close it. A bird may fly in.


(I will tire this advertising OP out with my huge wall of text! )

Yes?

Going from 60Hz to 144Hz for me was so nice... animations don't jitter as much and everything feels so much smoother. I can never go back to 60Hz now as everything feels like its stuttering. I've also tried 240Hz for a week before returning the monitor since the difference wasn't as noticeable and the games I played weren't capable of running at that framerate.
