Do I need 240Hz for gaming, or is 180Hz enough?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, 180Hz is plenty for single-player and most multiplayer titles, while 240Hz+ matters mainly for competitive shooters where motion clarity and input latency are critical. Panel response time (especially on OLED, at 0.03ms) often does more for perceived smoothness than the refresh rate number alone.
