Gorgeous colors, an intuitive stand, and more than enough frames per second make this the kind of display I can use for everything.

360-Hz refresh rate is more than enough for any game. OLED panel gets perfect blacks. 98 percent DCI-P3 color coverage is excellent for graphic design or video work.Price is a little high, so get this one on sale. No Nvidia G-Sync support. Many PCs might struggle to take advantage of a 360-fps upper limit.I’ve taken up playing Wrecking Ball. Compared to my usual main, Mercy, it somehow involves even more disorienting motion, whipping across the map, and tracking fast-moving characters.

However, frame rate becomes far more relevant when you’re trying to track fast-moving objects in video games. When there are fewer frames per second, objects will look less like they’re moving and more like they’re making little micro jumps from one place to another. You can see this effect in action. Try comparing 24 fps to 120 fps , with or without motion blur. The effects become pretty obvious.

It's also worth highlighting that 360 fps is an ambitious goal for even fairly high-end machines. My personal desktop has an RTX 3080 Ti that's a few years old at this point but still pretty powerful. I struggled to hit even 300 fps on some games. If you really want to take advantage of a 360-fps cap, you might need more than just a display upgrade.
