The Key Benefits of High Refresh Rates for Gaming
The 240Hz OLED and 165Hz LCD displays offer significant competitive gaming advantages:
- More fluid animations and reduced screen tearing without G-Sync/FreeSync
- Lower input lag – 240Hz can cut input lag to just 4.16ms
- More frequent updates on opponent locations for better accuracy
- Smoother mouse movements for superior control and precision
Research shows higher refresh rates improve accuracy, even if not noticed visually. Combining high refresh rates with frame rates double that of the display is ideal – ensuring a new frame is ready when the screen refreshes.
With cutting-edge GPUs like the RTX 4090, frame rates of 700-800+ fps are achievable in esports titles at high resolutions. This maximizes the benefits of Razer's incredibly high refresh rate displays.
Razer Focuses on Color Accuracy and Clarity
These new displays aren't just about fast refresh rates. Razer has focused on colour accuracy and clarity too. The screens feature certifications like VESA ClearMR, DisplayHDR True Black, and factory Calman calibration. This underscores Razer's commitment to providing the best visual experience possible.
OLED Comes Standard on the Razer Blade 16
In an exciting move, the 16-inch OLED display will come standard on the Razer Blade 16. This high-end screen won't be a costly add-on. Given the OLED panel's gorgeous image quality, making it the default option is a bold but welcome decision.
