I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 165 hz on my monitor

Title says it all (i have turned on 165hz on settings). Its a cheap monitor, do some 165hz monitors not truly give you that experience? Or are my eyes fucked

It’s wildly obvious if you grab a window and drag it around. Try having the settings on 60 and dragging it around when you change it to 165; it’s very glaringly obvious.

I thought you were talking about physical windows for a sec. Made no sense. I'm an idiot.

Please stop carrying huge glass panels around for no reason, that's not a safe thing to do.

Lol. But I'm not done with my tests!

What works best for me is simply moving the cursor quickly in a circle. On a higher refresh display, you'll see much more "ghost" cursors at the same time.

I'd make sure you don't have any display boost stuff going on your monitor, ghosting isn't a feature it's a bug

For me the difference was immediately noticeable. Even back in the old days I had to have at least a 75 Hertz monitor because 60 Hertz was slow enough that I could see the flicker pulse of the screens.

I will say I can't notice much of an improvement from 144 Hertz to 165 and I haven't had the chance to see a 240 yet, but anything under 75 is essentially unusable for me

I did that, I cant tell, iv had this problem on Linux and windows so its not an is issue either

What cable and interface are you using?

DP 1.4 i think, anyways i had checked it can handle 1080p 165hz

Haven't read the entire thread so apologies if you've already provided this information but could you show us a picture of your monitor's osd with the input source information? That should tell you right there that your input device isn't sending out what you desire.

Also if you don't have a >144hz option in your os's display options, try disconnecting any other monitors you have plugged in.

Yeah I checked, it works, did a lil test with the cursor and there's visibly more images on my 165hz one, I think it just has bad eno7gh smearing that it doesn't work properly
