What the numbers mean
- Resolution: Full HD, 1440p, 4K. Higher means a sharper picture and greater demands on the graphics card.
- Refresh rate: how many times per second the picture is redrawn. For games like CS2 or Siege the difference between 60 and 144 Hz is huge.
- Response time and input lag: how quickly the monitor reacts.
