43" 60hz? In 2020? Shame on you Dell.

It's not for gamers though, or for people who only play games as a small percentage of their time.

Why? Office people need 120hz or something?
alanm
There are plenty of 4k gamers nowadays. Guess what? They are all on 60hz.

99% sRGB is like 70% of AdobeRGB or something like that such panels where nice 10 years ago..

Though I agree it is less important to have high refresh for non gamers there is more to it than that. If you have ever used a high refresh display you have probably realized how smooth everything is on it. Just moving your mouse across the screen is a better experience on a higher refresh display. Why do you think we are starting to see phones go 90 hz and higher displays? Not just for gamers but overall fluidity of the display. I like editing photos and videos and really anything on my 144hz display. 100-120hz should start becoming the standard for productivity displays IMO. Every time I mouse over to my 60hz secondary display I get an instant reminder of how nice the high refresh display feels.

60hz is a normal limit. Don't forget even hdmi 2.0 cannot give more at 4K and there aren't any certified hdmi 2.1 devices. Not everyone uses DP 1.3/1.4. Not all gpus have hdmi 2.0 but older versions for office use like hdmi 1.3/1.4 and dp1.2. Gamers are always a minority. Go find something you like or watch a movie. Industry's serious income comes from office, developing and engineering world, not entertainment's one.

Yeah I tried that, it felt jittery even though my 2080ti was averaging around 90fps in most games I played. Dropping the settings down to 1440p so I could bring the herz up to 120 made the experience so much smoother. Even the little things like dragging the mouse across the screen feels so much smoother at 120hz.

No they sure as hell are not...…!! Especially over 4k at the current momento…. 6880x2440 is how many pixels over 4k?? There's a site to show you.... And this is on a seven plus year old computer...…
Just unfortunate how many developers/manufacturers want to do away with the multi-gpu setups.....

No damn reason that the 120hz even 100hz can not become the norm. Simply put there is a "feel" to the interface and the interactivity of it all from a simple refresh rate improvement. Not to forget the migraine inducing pulsing that was of the norm years ago. Albeit due to backlight strobing more than anything, but that is/was what was hindering everything all along. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel a perceivable difference in just running the simple tasks in an OS with higher refresh rates.

I don't even own a high-refresh monitor and I know you're not wrong. From the early days of 3D hardware it became obvious that one way of making games more "real" was to give them high frame rates (and correspondingly good model animations). I used to play Quake at 640 because my CRT would do 120 Hz at that res. It makes sense that a UI would also feel more natural with a high refresh rate, especially with all the mouses with high polling rates.

I've been using 144hz for years and it isn't just about gaming. The difference (to 60hz) while doing mundane tasks is very noticeable. Web page movement, moving windows, the mouse cursor... anything you move around your screen is much smoother.
alanm
Not sure what your point is, but.. whatever. 🙄
alanm
Not perceivable by everybody. I was an early adopter of 120hz screens since when they first came out 9-10 years ago and have owned several high refresh displays since then and still use one in my bedroom. Still prefer my 40" 4k screen despite it being 60hz.
DeskStar
Not sure what you mean, but going from even 80hz let alone 60 to 120hz is highly perceived. Like night and day difference.
I to have had 100+hz for many many years, but I'd never want to go to less that is for sure. Not sure why one would..... At all..... I mean if you had to, but not a willing decision I'd personally make.
DeskStar
And you're not sure because you don't understand. So does that make it okay.....sure.....
Read what was said to who and or what it was said about...
DeskStar
Options are nice. Especially since it's perceivably felt at a higher refresh rate even on the desktop. Checking them live stock averages would never seem more realistic. HA!!
Just seems like paying for something from yesteryear that has 60hz today.
alanm
I'll just repeat your little quote.... "Read what was said to who and or what it was said about..."
"The difference (to 60hz) while doing mundane tasks is very noticeable. Web page movement, moving windows, the mouse cursor... anything you move around your screen is much smoother."
That was what I was responding to.
DeskStar
Speaks for itself. Not sure what's not to understand.....
alanm
The 'mundane tasks' are not perceivable by everybody (in the same way as fast paced gaming may be with high refresh rates). If you want to say otherwise, feel free to do so, just doesnt apply to me.
