144Hz vs 240Hz: Which Refresh Rate Delivers the Best Gaming Experience on ERAZER Laptops?

In the world of PC gaming, performance is everything - and your laptop’s refresh rate plays a huge role in how smooth your gameplay feels. Whether you're deep into competitive esports or just enjoying story-driven single-player titles, a high refresh rate display can be the difference between victory and defeat.

At ERAZER, our range of gaming laptops is tailored for every kind of gamer - from casual players to hardcore competitors - with options ranging from 60Hz to 240Hz. So, what does that mean for your experience, and which refresh rate is right for you?

Let’s break it down.

What is Refresh Rate - and Why Does It Matter?

Refresh rate refers to how many times your display updates per second, measured in hertz (Hz). A 60Hz display refreshes 60 times per second, while a 144Hz or 240Hz screen updates much faster - 144 or 240 times per second, respectively.

A higher refresh rate means:

• Smoother animations and gameplay
  

• Reduced motion blur

• A competitive edge in fast-paced games like shooters or racing sims
  

60Hz: The Starting Point for Casual Gaming

If you're a casual gamer or someone who mainly plays slower-paced games like strategy, simulation, or indie titles, 60Hz is still a solid choice - especially when paired with a capable GPU and CPU.

Our ERAZER Crawler E30e range features a 60Hz display, making it a great entry-level option for those who want an affordable gaming laptop that doesn’t compromise on build quality or everyday performance. Check out our full range of 60Hz gaming laptops available now.

144Hz: The Sweet Spot for Most Gamers

So, is 144Hz good for gaming laptops? Absolutely.

A 144Hz gaming laptop hits the sweet spot for most players. It’s fast enough to make a visible difference over 60Hz - especially in action-packed genres like FPS, battle royale, and MOBAs - but typically more affordable than 240Hz options.

Both our ERAZER Deputy P60 and ERAZER Defender P50 come with 144Hz screens, offering fluid gameplay and responsive performance at a competitive price.

240Hz: Elite Performance for Competitive Gamers

For the ultimate experience, step up to 240Hz. Designed for esports professionals and serious enthusiasts, 240Hz gaming laptops deliver ultra-smooth gameplay that helps you respond faster and see more - especially in games where every millisecond counts.

Our ERAZER Major X20 is built for this level of performance, featuring a 240Hz panel alongside high-end components like the Intel® Core™ i9 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 GPU. If you’re looking for a gaming laptop 240Hz setup that can keep up with your reflexes - this is it.

What About 120Hz?

You may have also come across laptops with 120Hz refresh rate. While 120Hz is better than 60Hz, it’s becoming less common as 144Hz becomes the new baseline for high refresh rate gaming laptops. For similar pricing, we recommend opting for a 144Hz display to get that extra smoothness.
