A 144Hz gaming monitor displays images smoothly, because the screen refreshes 144 times per second. As a result, you don't suffer from hiccups while gaming. This is especially nice with fast games such as shooters and racing games. Combine this with a low response time, such as a 1ms 144Hz gaming monitor, if you want to play even more smoothly. In addition, a G sync game monitor prevents screen tearing if you have an NVIDIA video card. Freesync does this for AMD video cards. With a powerful GPU, you get refresh rates of 144 frames per second and you don't suffer from motion blur. Do you play games in high resolution? Choose a monitor with 4K resolution.
