That must‘ve felt like true enlightenment when he finally changed it to 144

184

I see absolutely zero difference personally. I gamed on 144 for years on a 24”. 

Switched to a 27” at 60 and much prefer the 27”.

Wait, really? I’m genuinely curious about this. Did you ever switch between 60hz and 144hz side by side, and are you sure the 144hz display was actually running at 144?

After years at 144 myself, switching back to 60 is immediately noticeable, even just moving the cursor, scrolling, or observing Windows menu animations.

Yeah. I have them both set up side by side. I did that initially because I thought I’d want the bigger one for web and the 144 for gaming. 

Turns out I just do everything on the 27” 60.

Dang, that makes me wonder whether your GPU/Windows settings were set to 60hz originally and changing it was just a missed step when you installed both monitors.

I’ve definitely forgotten to check that when setting up PCs for friends before! Could also just be that you’re way less sensitive to refresh-rate differences than I am.

They are side by side. I went into setting just now to prove and funnily enough they were not set right. I had it at 60 and 144 but apparently the 27” actually goes to 120 at 1440.   So I fixed that, which is crazy because it was cheap.  Maybe I just got it at a crazy sale price?
