Response time measures pixel color change speed, affecting image sharpness. Input lag shows delay between source device and display response. Both measured in milliseconds and are interrelated but not identical
Monitor refresh rate measures display's image refresh frequency in Hz. Higher refresh rate doesn't guarantee smoother experience. Requires capable GPU and CPU for optimal performance
144Hz monitors may show 60Hz instead of advertised 144Hz refresh rate. Issue can be caused by incorrect monitor settings or outdated drivers
165Hz monitors offer 165 FPS vs 144 FPS on 144Hz monitors. 165Hz displays frames 0.88ms faster than 144Hz. 165Hz provides smoother frame transitions and better visual quality. 165Hz reduces motion blur and tearing more effectively
144Hz means displaying 144 times per second on the screen. Higher refresh rates provide better visual quality and reduced flickering
HDMI 1.4 supports 144Hz at 1080p, 75Hz at 1440p, and 30Hz at 4K. Some monitors have limited bandwidth, limiting 144Hz to 120Hz or 60Hz. Custom timing parameters can enable 144Hz at 1080p
