240Hz

A type of computer monitor bought by people who know nothing about technology, with the naive belief that it'll get them 240 fps in-game. Often paired with an overpriced alienware 'gaming' pc that despite having £200 worth of liquid cooling, is only capable of producing 30 fps on google chrome. Hz, or Hertz, is the number of times the monitor can refresh (show a new image) a second. Monitors with this specification are typically bought by children alongside their alienware pc, to allow them to fulfil their dreams of quitting education at 16, and becoming a professional fortnite player.

Person 1: I just bought a 240Hz gaming monitor, I'm going to become so much better at fortnite.
Person 2: What pc did you buy with it?
Person 1: A £1200 i7 GTX 1650 alienware gaming pc with liquid cooling!
Person 2: smh
