Surely that was a mistake? $1099 RRP for a 1080p 360hz panel? I think they lost the plot i was interested in this but when i saw the price i am glad you can get 280hz IPS now for £268 which is nearly half the price of a 240hz dedicated G-Sync panel. But this is a whole $500 added on again!

So I get going from 60Hz to even 144Hz but what exactly is the point of a 360Hz monitor?
Surely the difference is imperceptible?
Excuse my ignorance here.

Sample and hold LCD tech is so poor, You need outrageous hertz to equal a CRT or OLED in blur and input lag. Until displays reach practically zero on each were gonna keep going up in hz until 480hz and 1000hz.


The difference would be smoothness, Smoother motion, Less blur and less input lag. There is a side by side Youtube video and you can see thier DOTA 2 demo has a slight noticable advantage over 240hz in panning.
