Where are the 27in or larger 4K monitors at 240Hz ? Or even 120Hz ?
Some people will appreciate this. Not me though.
Some of us value impeccable details in their Fallout 4, so they go for a 4K LCD.
Some are into competitive CS, so they buy 144 ot 240fps (I'm just saying it's a reason, not that it's reasonable).
And we have a decent choice of 4K@60Hz and 1080p@240Hz.
So who is 4K@240fps for? Seriously?
Also, just how old would an AAA game have to be, to achieve 240fps in 4K with high details on a 1080Ti?
Are we talking about games from 2010? 2005? Any guess?
I've just checked Skyrim and it's a no.
I've got the XL2720Z which does 1080p at 144Hz, has a strobing backlight and supports 3D Vision. For my next monitor, I want all the same features, but with 4K resolution. However, that doesn't exist yet so I'll sit tight until then.
It's a fantastic monitor, by the way.
90% of the time and in 99% of all games you will never even remotely achieve that FPS in the first place. So if you love to pay too much for a placebo advantage in one game, by all means, jump on this. More gloriously overpriced TN for the idiots. Also as some people managed: server tickrates. If you have a 60 tickrate its already 'good'. 120 is rare. 240? Not in your wildest dreams.
