March 20th: Refresh rate has always been a key factor when it comes to optimizing the gaming experience.
Now that 144Hz displays have become the standard for entry-level gaming, more advanced 165Hz monitors are gaining traction.
According to RUNTO online monitoring data, in 2023, 165Hz monitors dominated the refresh rate segment for gaming displays, capturing 53% of the market.
In contrast, the market share of entry-level 144Hz products has continued to decline, dropping from 40% in the first half of 2022 to just 22% in the second half of 2023.
At this rate, the market share of 144Hz gaming monitors is expected to fall below 20% this year.
165Hz monitors have a higher number of frames refreshed per second compared to 144Hz monitors. This means that the image on the screen is updated more quickly and smoothly during gameplay.
Particularly in fast-paced games such as shooters and racing games, this allows players to capture every subtle movement more accurately, leading to improved performance in-game.
Analysts believe that as technology advances and production costs decrease, 165Hz monitors will become more affordable, further driving the growth of market demand.
