Interesting. I've never experienced latency. I use a 2k monitor. I guess the jump from 2k to 4k is big. I use terminals for text editing with vim (my only IDE), and basic command line stuff like grepping logs, dealing with git and such. I've used xterm, rxvt and st.
When I think about it, there's no smooth movements in my usage. Scrolling is at least one line at a time, cursor movement is at least one character width at a time. So I would be hard pressed to notice latency.
Btw, 240 fps is a very minimal jump from 120 fps. It's much less than 60 to 120. I can't imagine ever being able to tell if my terminal is getting drawn faster than ~50 hz. Well maybe if I was scrolling more than 50 lines per second, but I would probably not care how it looks.
- hutrdvnj 6y agoI agree 240hz is maybe a bit extreme. But I think that most people could immediately tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz. > but I would probably not care how it looks. Me too. It's not about aesthetics, I don't care much about it. It's how it feels, slightly higher latency gives me an uncomfortable feeling during computer interaction. If I had to decide between something that looks very pleasant, but is slow and something that looks crappy but is ultra fast in terms of latency, then I would always pick the latter.
