Gaming basics

What refresh rate do I need?

A 144 Hz screen or faster makes fast games look smoother than a standard 60 Hz one. PS5 and Xbox Series X output up to 120 Hz, so a 120 Hz or faster screen gets the most from them.

Is wireless fast enough for gaming?

Yes, over the 2.4 GHz USB dongle that gaming mice and headsets come with. Bluetooth adds more delay, so keep it for phones and tablets.
