4 things nobody tells you about high refresh rate monitors

PC enthusiasts are quick to recommend high refresh rate monitors, especially for gaming, because games feel buttery smooth and take immersion to a whole new level. My first time using a high refresh rate display was in 2017, when I bought the Alienware 17 R3, which had a 120Hz screen. I immediately noticed the improved smoothness since I had only used standard 60Hz monitors up until that point. Since then, I've purchased several high refresh rate monitors, and I currently use a 4K/160Hz, 1440p/175Hz, and 1440p/360Hz monitor with my gaming PC.
