120 hz vs 60hz
Does 120 hz lcd monitor really make a difference? I'm not talking about looks or whatever, dont care about that. I'm talking about performance i.e if it maybe makes your strafing a little easier or your bhop a little better? In other words, is it worth getting, or should i stay with 60 hz?
This pertains to kz so i think its the right section.

No difference in performance, but cs 1.6 @ 60hz looks like a slideshow while in 120hz it's perfectly smooth. So, basically, you could have better timing, or sth. Get at least 75hz for eye comfort -_-
I have a 120hz monitor and it's great. I dont think there is a big performance difference, but I'd still say you should get rid of your 60hz monitor, and if you do, you might aswell pick up a 120hz one.
Like taka said, 60hz kills your eyes. lol
Yeh 60hz screens have shown to be linked to headaches.
120hz is so so unnesessary, 100hz or more is good to watch movies with but 75 is just perfect for gaming, esp for games such as CS. Difference is barely noticeable imo.
100hz is perfect you can run cs with vsync at 100fps for extra smoothing.
75hz is fine, you can play alot without any discomfort.
And destroy your 60hz one asap, its very bad for eyes and what gargoyle said.
there is no 100hz lcd. 120hz only seems to matter for fast paced things. 60hz on lcd isn't a big deal, until recently all lcd/plasma tv's are 60hz and its fine to watch them
i got my Asus VK264 or something like that and i use 60 in windows and 75 in cs and i think that it is nice to play both cod and cs with that.
Excuse me TlofT but I have a 100hz LCD screen right down stairs. It's called True Motion technology.
I don't know if it's in my head.. But since I've got my LCD on christmas (70Hz @ CS) I did 250+ lj stats 2 times :) before I did it like 4/5 times. Maxspeed went down (-15ms).. I can't understand, maybe some of the speed is lost within the frames it doesn't display, I don't know, maybe it's just placebo, but I still haven't adapted to LCD. So, I'd rather go for 120Hz monitor it doesn't look like slideshow.
im using a 60hz screen since i started playing cs and i still use it. im too used to it to judge the smoothness but it feels alright.
