Choosing between 120Hz vs 240Hz for gaming comes down to whether your PC or console can deliver consistently high, low-latency frames. If you can’t reliably hit near-240fps, 120Hz is the smarter, smoother buy; it delivers most of the responsiveness without demanding the same hardware. But if your system routinely produces very high frame rates, 240Hz…
