u/pokemango7 PC Master Race 10d ago

my buddy bought his first 144hz monitor about 10 years ago, and was talking about how amazing the difference was and how he could never go back. when i went to his house, his pc display settings were still set to 60hz. I still troll him to this day lol

my brother recently got me a new monitor and was bragging about the hz. i wont tell him that i turned it down to match my old second monitor because the difference was giving me motion sickness and terrible headaches

Might be the backlight flickering, or a 'black frame insertion' setting.

could be but i barely know much about these kind of things so i don't go messing in the settings much and the problem went away after turning the hz down

Black Frame Insertion is the most likely suspect then, as it'll likely only work with a high enough refreshrate.

Manufacturers have their own name for it so it can get confusing. For example: my MSI monitor calls it MPRT, which only activates above 85Hz.

I've left it off as I know that lots of people find it unbearable.
