Best 240 Hz Monitors for Gaming from HP

Kirstyn Amanda - June 28, 2023

What is a refresh rate, and why should you care?

A refresh rate refers to the number of times an image on a display is refreshed or updated per second. A monitor with a refresh rate of 60 Hz updates the image 60 times per second, while that of a 240 Hz monitor updates the image 240 times a second. It is measured in hertz (Hz).

The higher the refresh rate, the better performance a monitor offers. If you use your monitor for watching movies at higher frames per second, you probably won’t notice the difference between a 240 Hz monitor and one with a much lower refresh rate, even that of 144 Hz.

However, if you are into fast-paced games, we recommend getting as high as possible when searching for a monitor. Here is why:

REDUCED MOTION BLUR

Monitors with higher refresh rates of 240 Hz improve images' perceived sharpness by refreshing more frames in a shorter duration, resulting in less motion blur and enhanced clarity in fast-moving scenes.

ENHANCED RESPONSIVENESS

The refresh rate of a monitor doesn’t directly impact input lag. However, it certainly does have an effect on your decision-making. The higher the refresh rate, the quicker it takes to see the result of your actions on screen.

REDUCED SCREEN TEARING

Screen tearing occurs when the graphics card sends more information to the monitor than it can process, resulting in visible visual artifacts when playing games with high frames per second. A 240 Hz refresh rate monitor can work in sync with most video cards to minimize screen tearing and deliver a smoother and more visually pleasing display.

COMPETITIVE EDGE

Although a 240 Hz gaming monitor will not make you a better player, it can give you an edge in a sport where every millisecond counts. You can react and execute faster with a monitor that provides you with smoother gameplay, enhanced responsiveness, and reduced input lag.

Now, read on to discover the best 240 Hz gaming monitors from HP.
