The difference between gaming monitors and ordinary monitors

The main difference between e-sports monitors and ordinary monitors is that they have more performance advantages in terms of specifications, such as refresh rate, response time, auxiliary crosshairs and many other functions. Let us analyze them one by one below.
1. Refresh rate
The refresh rate of ordinary monitors is generally 60~70Hz, which is sufficient for ordinary monitors to meet the needs of Internet access and office work. But gamers need a higher refresh rate. This is because the frame rate of the screen can improve fluency, but if the refresh rate of the monitor is not synchronized with the frame rate of the game screen, it is easy to cause screen tearing. The solution is to enable vertical synchronization.

But if the refresh rate of the display is too low, the frame rate of the screen will be limited to a low level, such as 60Hz. If vertical synchronization is turned on at this frame rate, the screen fluency will be obviously insufficient, especially in competitive FPS games. The function of a high refresh rate display is to increase the refresh rate under vertical synchronization to a higher level, such as 144Hz, 165Hz, etc. This will not only ensure that the picture does not tear, but also obtain high fluency and smoothness. However, the high refresh rate also has higher requirements on the CPU and graphics card.
2. Response speed

Ordinary monitors usually have a response speed of 4~8 milliseconds
Compared with CRT, plasma, OLED, etc., LCD screens have a higher response time. Some old-fashioned LCD screens have a response speed as long as 12-25 milliseconds, and there will be obvious smearing in severe cases. At present, most IPS/VA screen displays have a response time of 4~8 milliseconds. The FAST IPS fast LCD can easily achieve 1 millisecond response, which reduces smear and makes the dynamic picture clearer. At present, in terms of wide viewing angle screens, in addition to the 1 millisecond response of IPS, the new FAST VA screen also has a good speed performance.

3. The dynamic improvement of the dark part
There are always some dark corners in different games and maps. If your monitor is not bright enough or the details of the dark parts are not good, it is very likely to be shot black. The dark part dynamic enhancement function analyzes the picture to increase the brightness of the area that needs to be highlighted in the picture. The following picture is an example. The underground area of the layered rock abyss added by Yuanshin 2.6 needs to be equipped with lumen lamps for lighting because the environment is very dark. However, if lumen lamps are used, treasure hunting compass or other props cannot be used. At this time, using the dark part dynamic enhancement function that comes with the monitor can greatly increase the brightness of the screen and directly save the lumen lamp.

The dynamic improvement of Anbu adopts the overall brightening scheme, and some games may have a loss of picture details, but for FPS players, it is more important to let the enemy have nowhere to hide.
4. Auxiliary crosshair
In FPS games, you often encounter scenes where there is no focus, or you have to open the mirror to aim. For example, in the hardcore mode of the battlefield and the real mode of COD, there is no focus for reference. More than ten years ago, someone used a watercolor pen to draw a crosshair on the monitor, but now the monitor has its own crosshair function. Although the game itself has a large spread of bullets in the state of hip shooting without a crosshair, it will be more convenient for close combat with a physical plug-in crossfire, at least there is a reference point.

The above four points are the biggest difference between e-sports monitors and ordinary monitors. In addition, there are G-SYNC/FREESYNC, etc., which are part of the anti-tearing technology of the screen. In addition, the current e-sports monitors are still expanding in the direction of wide color gamut, multi-functional brackets, eye protection, etc., and are constantly enriching their own functions. They are committed to creating multi-functional e-sports equipment and providing players with a better gaming experience.
