Which QD OLED is Better? - 4K 240Hz vs 1440p 360Hz Monitors
This year we’ve had a gaggle of new OLED monitors come busting through our walls and jump scare us with insane image quality by finally allowing PC gamers to get per pixel local dimming, HDR, super fast response times, and higher refresh rates pushing the envelope of what our eyes can handle, but many people are asking the question, should I smack down my hard earned clams on a 4K 240Hz OLED, or a 360Hz 1440p OLED monitor.

Well today I’m going to help you answer that question, first by starting off with the most important metric aside from the price, which believe me, we’ll touch on later, but anywho let’s first go over clarity.

Now thankfully both monitor come with a glossy coating meaning unless your using an LG OLED TV your likely to get a large jump in clarity and vibrancy by moving off a typical grainy matte coating to these new OLED coatings, but there is a massive difference in resolution which will lead to the 4K option being much, much more clear. 1440p is actually 2560x1440 or 3,686,400 pixels whereas 4K is 3840x2160 pixels. A difference of 2.25X more pixels in favor of the 4K option, and as you can imagine these leads to an enormous increase in clarity allowing you to see details in games and movies which may be completely invisible at 1440p like high resolution textures as well are greatly reducing aliasing in games, meaning that if clarity is your main concern your likely going to want to choose a 4K display, but keep in mind it does come at the cost of performance, which we’ll touch on later.

Of course there's a lot more to monitors than clarity though, which brings me to the next factor gamers should consider… Speed. Now 360Hz vs 240Hz on paper is a massive difference of 50% in favor of the 1440p 360Hz monitor over the 4K 240Hz option, but in practice it’s not so simple. In terms of latency 240Hz has a latency of just 4.17ms whereas 360Hz has a latency of 2.78ms or a difference of just 1.39ms. Now is 1.39ms noticeable, I would say yes, but it’s not significant at all, and in fact simply by setting Nvidia control panel settings correctly you can shave off 10ms, so in terms of speed this isn’t going to turn you into a pro gamer.

However there’s more to refresh rate than speed, there's also motion clarity, and as you can see here in this motion performance test the 360Hz monitor is definitely more clear, but once again it’s not a huge improvement and I think while higher refresh rates are always nice and I’d love to see 1000Hz on all monitors one day, it’s unlikely to bring you from bronze to pro in your favorite game.
