360Hz Monitors
360Hz refreshes the screen 360 times a second. This is competitive esports hardware, and it is honest to say the returns are diminishing: the jump from 60Hz to 144Hz is dramatic, 144Hz to 240Hz is clear, and 240Hz to 360Hz is a fine margin that trained players in fast shooters can use and most people cannot.
It also only works if your PC actually produces that many frames. In practice that means older or well-optimised competitive titles at reduced settings, not the latest single-player releases.
The range runs from 27in Full HD panels at the highest refresh rates — the ASRock Phantom Gaming models reach 400Hz and 520Hz — through 27in QHD at 360Hz, including an OLED, up to Samsung’s 4K 360Hz Odyssey G7 and the Acer Predator with NVIDIA Pulsar.
Make sure the graphics card has a DisplayPort output capable of the resolution and refresh rate together, and that the cable is rated for it.
360Hz Monitors Buying Guide and FAQ
This 360Hz Monitors range groups screens by refresh rate. Below are the common questions on what 360Hz gives you.
Is a 360Hz monitor worth it?
A higher refresh rate means smoother motion. 360Hz is for serious esports where every frame counts.
Can my PC reach 360Hz?
You only feel the benefit if your graphics card can push frames near 360Hz in the games you play. Fast esports titles reach high frame rates easily, while demanding games at high resolution need a strong GPU. Match the refresh rate to what your PC can deliver.
Do I need variable refresh with a 360Hz screen?
Yes, G-Sync or FreeSync keeps motion tear-free by syncing the screen to your graphics card, and it is worth having on any gaming monitor. Most modern high-refresh screens include it, so check the spec lists FreeSync or G-Sync support.
