When I move my mouse to aim at 120hz ULMB, there is a noticeable input lag delay where the crosshair begins to move AFTER I move the mouse.ĭiscovery #4: You can REALLY feel the input lag with 120hz ULMB when you go back and forth. the crazy thing is that going from the 240hz on the Asus PG258Q to 120hz ULMB on the Asus P278Q felt laggy. I scored 130k which is a significantly higher score.Īnd. And… after the second run, I scored a new high score! This, in spite of having not used the monitor in months (so I certainly wasn’t used to it). For this one, I set it to my favorite setting which is 120hz ULMB. Then I put back my ‘old’ monitor, Asus ROG P278Q, 27″ 144hz monitor. This was a big discovery because I thought that 144hz ULMB would be better (because it visually feels better) but the aiming tests consistently show better performance at ‘regular’ 240hz.Ĭrazy right? I had never been able to quantify it like that.Ĥ. The rapid input of 240hz makes aiming easier.

Turns out, for fast aiming, I perform better at 240hz than 144hz ULMB on this monitor… EVEN if the 144hz looks sharper with faster movements. Then I tested 240hz (instead of 144hz ULMB) and ONCE again, my score went up! I fluctuated around 115k-120k scores at the end of Aim Hero testing. Then I tested using a small dot as a crosshair… and my score immediately jumped to 110-115k!! It turns out, using the Asus built-in crosshairs isn’t as good as using a simple, bright dot.ģ. (Aim Hero provides a score after 300 shots)Ģ. My max score was about 95-100k inside Aim Hero with that setup. I tested my current daily monitor, the Asus PG258Q which was running ULMB 144hz with the monitor’s built-in crosshair. Even though I do vary (human error), it does provide a relatively consistent score and I can see immediate increases/decreases based on different monitor setups.ġ. (It’s $5 and no, I am not associated with them!)īy doing the reflex map inside Aim Hero (with default settings), I receive a score based on my aiming performance.

Seeing as most people probably won’t know what Aim Hero is… it’s just a simple aiming program that matches your sensitivity in CS:GO or Overwatch so you can build muscle memory by doing drills. I have the good fortune to have multiple 120hz+ monitors at my disposal so I have been using aim hero to determine which monitor set up provides the best aiming performance. while minimizing human error <- Quite difficult to do when you're aiming!) ( And I tried to be as scientific as possible. I just saw the 240hz vs 120 ULMB and I swear I thought I started that thread! This is timely because I just completed extensive testing on the subject.
