I mean, it wasn&#8217;t <em>that<\/em> long ago, was it? Well, get a load of this 600 Hz beast from MSI.<\/p>\n<p>The MSI MPG 242R X60N will be showcased at CES next week <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tftcentral.co.uk\/news\/msi-announce-the-mpg-242r-x60n-a-24-rapid-tn-film-gaming-screen-with-a-600hz-refresh-rate\" target=\"_blank\">according to TFT Central, <\/a>and its appeal will be all about that wild 600 Hz refresh. The rest of the package, the TN panel tech, the 24-inch size and the 1080p resolution are not exactly the stuff of gaming dreams, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this monitor is aimed squarely at esports. So, stuff like 4K res, ultrawide aspect ratios, huge panel sizes and HDR sizzle aren&#8217;t really the point. What you want is absolutely minimal latency and a compact panel that allows you to see everything that&#8217;s happening on screen.<\/p>\n<p>What you want, therefore, is the highest refresh possible on a 24-inch screen, something even faster than the likes of, say, the 540 Hz Asus ROG Swift Pro PG248QP.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, as refresh rates climb higher, the returns arguably diminish. We are surely already at the point where there&#8217;s no benefit in terms of visual smoothness of this 600Hz Hz panel over a 500 Hz alternative. But what about latency?<\/p>\n<p>There will be ever so slightly less input lag at 600 Hz than 500 Hz, that&#8217;s an undeniable fact. So, the real question is at what point does the latency reduction essentially become invisible to human perception.<\/p>\n<p>On that note, we&#8217;ll take the 5th. Personally, in the past I&#8217;d probably have said the difference above 240 Hz or so was getting close to imperceptible. But I must concede really serious esports types do seem to benefit from even faster panels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1321px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:45.57%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"mQgYzmbWbd2RRyayzCA3oe\" name=\"MSI MPG 242R X60N\" alt=\"MSI MPG 242R X60N\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/msis-new-24-inch-gaming-monitor-hits-a-sizzling-600-hz-and-has-me-wondering-how-many-hz-you-genuinely-need.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1321\" height=\"602\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: MSI)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 2<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1280px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"NmipAqEs8DJXVLjYeS6Zfh\" name=\"MSI MPG 242R X60N 2\" alt=\"MSI MPG 242R X60N\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/msis-new-24-inch-gaming-monitor-hits-a-sizzling-600-hz-and-has-me-wondering-how-many-hz-you-genuinely-need-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: MSI)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Eventually, we will surely get to the point where higher refresh is of no truly tangible value. But we&#8217;ll have to wait and see where that dividing line eventually lands.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime and getting back to this MSI panel, arguably slightly unexpected is the inclusion of USB-C connectivity with 98 W of power delivery. That&#8217;s a handy feature for productivity and ergonomics, less so for gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Using a laptop is a little implausible when you&#8217;re trying to achieve the very highest frame rates. And even if you do, you&#8217;ll need more than 98 W to keep a high performance gaming laptop powered.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we have no specs in terms of metrics like brightness, contrast, viewing angles, color coverage and all that jazz. But as a TN panel, you wouldn&#8217;t expect much from those aspects. It&#8217;s just not what a high-refresh TN monitor does well.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and for the record, the response is rated at 0.5 ms, which is excellent for an LCD panel, albeit miles behind the 0.03 ms typically claimed for OLED monitors.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing has yet to be announced, but the MPG 242R X60N isn&#8217;t expected to go on sale until at least April. So, it&#8217;s a case of wait and see for now. But it will be very expensive for a 24-inch TN monitor, that&#8217;s for sure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"9ae3fd70-638f-4d8c-bc2b-226ac7ef8056\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best gaming monitor\" data-dimension48=\"Best gaming monitor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"SAyqU8xPQfHL3HdHoEZazc\" name=\"1646306788.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/msis-new-24-inch-gaming-monitor-hits-a-sizzling-600-hz-and-has-me-wondering-how-many-hz-you-genuinely-need-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1920\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-monitor\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"9ae3fd70-638f-4d8c-bc2b-226ac7ef8056\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"Best gaming monitor\" data-dimension48=\"Best gaming monitor\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>Best gaming monitor<\/strong><\/a>: Pixel-perfect panels.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-high-refresh-rate-monitor-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best high refresh rate monitor<\/strong><\/a>: Screaming quick.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-4k-monitors-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best 4K monitor for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: High-res only.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-4k-tv-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best 4K TV for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Big-screen 4K PC gaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-monitors\/msis-new-24-inch-gaming-monitor-hits-a-sizzling-600-hz-and-has-me-wondering-how-many-hz-you-genuinely-need\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remember when 144 Hz seemed pretty slick?
