The other factor is a high quality higher refresh should have less ghosting or inverse ghosting leading to sharper fast moving images which helps accuracy. High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology with professional color gamut delivers contrast and color performance that meets the DisplayHDR™ 400 certification Asus employs its Fast IPS technology with the XG27AQMR, as it did with the XG27AQM. However, the company is quoting a response time of 1ms for its latest entry, versus 0.5ms for the XG27AQM. But Asus has made gains in other areas thanks to the inclusion of DisplayHDR 600 certification (up from DisplayHDR 400); typical brightness remains the same at 350 nits.

If all else was equal I’d be surprised if anyone could tell the difference in Hz only between 240 and 300 but ‘if’ the panel can handle fast moving images better then that may be noticeable. I have a 240Hz and 144Hz displays, both 1440p. If I set the 240Hz to 144Hz it still looks clearer than my native 144Hz with fast moving images because it’s a better performing panel. ASUS Fast IPS Display allows the display’s liquid crystal elements to switch up to 8X faster than conventional IPS panels for improved response. With a 0.5ms* gray-to-gray response time, smearing and motion blur are virtually eliminated. This display also delivers superior images with outstanding colors thanks to DCI-P3 97% color gamut and an astounding 1,000:1 contrast ratio. Wide 178-degree viewing angles ensure minimal distortion and color shift even when you're viewing from extreme positions.
