High-Frequency Monitor Superiority in Reaction Time to Rectangle Color Change and Movement
摘要
In e-sports, monitors with frequencies higher than 240 Hz are commonly used, and while their use is said to offer advantageous for gameplay, the extent of their contribution remains unclear. Quantifying this effect is essential for creating a fair gaming environment. In this study, a program was developed to simulate monitors with refresh rates ranging from 60 Hz to 480 Hz, and two simple reaction tests were conducted using a 500 Hz monitor. When the color of a rectangle changed from blue to white, responses were faster with the higher refresh rate monitor. Conversely, when the white rectangle moved, responses were slower with the higher refresh rate monitor.
