Pixel density is another factor when it comes to picture quality. Larger screens require higher resolution to maintain the same pixel density as smaller screens with lower resolution. Monitors with higher resolution deliver crisper details and provide more screen space.

What are the screen materials?

IPS, TN and VA screens are currently the mainstream panels of LCD monitors, and the panel type is related to the response time, color, viewing angle and contrast ratio of LCD monitors, which are important factors.

• TN panel: High refresh rate and fast response time. The disadvantage is the low color depth and poor color performance.
• IPS panel: higher color reproduction, strong color performance, professional monitors generally use IPS screens. At the widest viewing angle (generally 178 degrees), viewing the screen at any angle, the quality of color is not degraded.
• VA panel: quality and color performance between the first two, the disadvantage is the low refresh rate and the slowest response speed.

The pursuit of responsiveness and color requirements are not high gaming gamers can choose TN screen, other users are recommended to choose better color IPS or VA screen

What is Refresh rate?

Refresh rate refers to how many images the monitor can update per second, for example, a monitor with a refresh rate of 60Hz means it can refresh 60 images a second. The higher the refresh rate, the smoother the picture. Conversely, the lower the refresh rate, there will be screen delays, lag.

Your system must be able to support the necessary frame rates to take advantage of higher refresh rates. If you don't know how to set the refresh rate, you can read this article to set the refresh rate, "Setting Your Monitor to High Refresh"

Understanding refresh rates

As mentioned above, the higher refresh rate refers to how often the monitor updates the screen image. This update interval is measured in milliseconds (ms), while the monitor refresh rate is measured in hertz (Hz).

The refresh rate of a monitor is the number of times per second that the monitor draws a new image. It is measured in hertz (Hz). For example, if your monitor has a refresh rate of 144 Hz, this means that it refreshes the image 144 times per second. When combined with the high frame rates generated by the GPU and CPU combined, the refresh rate can lead to a smoother experience and possibly higher frame rates.
