LG Display published the outcomes of its own experimental study on how the refresh rate of gaming monitors affects actual real-world gaming performance. According to the paper, using a monitor with a higher refresh rate enhances object recognition in dynamic scenes, thereby improving reaction speed and accuracy.
In the experiment, 31 adult male gamers played with four different refresh rates — 60Hz, 240Hz, 360Hz, and 480Hz — in random order while playing a first-person shooter (FPS) game. LGD looked at both quantitative indicators such as the gaming score (successful hits) and the time it took from eliminate a target, and also qualitative indicators such as smoothness, ease of tracking, and overall preference.
In terms of hit score, the gamers’ win rate improved by 38% at the highest level of 480Hz compared to the lowest level of 60Hz. The increase from 240Hz to 480Hz was also significant, at 10%.
