If you had more RGBs in your rig, it would've increased your tracking.
-
this video sold more 240Hz monitors than any ad
-
"How did i miss that?" Welcome to CS
-
I know this is an old video, but for me, higher Hz isnt about reaction time, but say youre doing a 180 turn, you can see clearly when theres an opponent in the middle of the turn, while on 60hz you can't even see him at all. this is the biggest advantage higher Hz can have. Your surroundings perception becomes clearer. You can set up a test where this 180 turn is automated and you only press a button to stop when you feel you have the opponent on the crosshair. with each round the opponent being in a random distance on the radius degree
-
You should've thrown a 144 Hz panel in there, because the interesting question is rather if the jump from 144 to 240 is noticeable..

Next Slow Mo Guys video : "Linus drops an $8,000 CPU at 150,000 fps"
-
"I'm ready as penis" Nice to have Gav's AH side get shown to people who aren't familiar with it.
-
i love how serious gavin is, and how he instantly transitions to AH mode while playing a game i have to imagine "im ready as penis" is not something he says at typical out of network shoots
-
Comparing 144Hz to 240Hz seems pretty important (to know if it's worth the extra money for 240Hz). And yeah if you could get someone like Shroud for the tests that could help too.
-
Get a Pro / Ex Pro CSGO player. Do 60/144/240 FPS test. Test reaction time and accuracy
-
Gavino Free, arguably the only "camera guy" more famous than a lot of actors 😂
-
For the first one he said “it took me so long to start tracking him” 137ms response time is absolutely insane
-
Echoing others' suggestions: 1) Get a professional gamer to try it with you guys 2) Try 144 Hz as well (or 120 or 165)
-
60Hz to 240Hz is a pretty large jump. I'm more interested in seeing the difference between 144Hz and 240Hz
-
Being a fan of both achievement hunter and LTT, This is the crossover Event I never new i needed, but always wanted
-
"It matters more if youre already good" is about what I expected
-
When I upgraded to 144hz, (team fortress 2 mostly)I didn't get better, I could just see why I died more clearly.
-
Wow, an LTT video has a conclusion other than "It depends."
-
Live the Slo mo guys.. wish they were still making videos like they use too. It was great seeing y'all collaborate. Good show
-
People are probably better with a 240hz monitor because they are more dedicated to gaming since it's expensive
