My lad wants a gaming monitor for his birthday and gave me a link to a 144Hz one - does it really need to be that high? I thought an XBox One was only putting out about 60Hz?

Is it worth getting a 120Hz or 144Hz one - is he likely to notice the difference? He’s using an old 32” TV which is very laggy apparently.

Only want to spend £150-£200 really and ideally a 27” one. Any recommendations?

I'm pretty sure the Xbox is limited to 60fps so no point buying a 120hz or 144Hz.

I'd go for something like this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KZINI82/?tag=pcp0f-...

Ask him to put his own money towards it, he won't want 144hz then.
