I just switched from my beloved Studio Display to a different monitor that can handle both my office work and my occasional gaming sessions. I’ve got a whole other post brewing on that, so I won’t go into it here. The new monitor is capable of a 240Hz refresh rate, which I believe my new Macbook Air can handle at 4K resolution. The Studio Display could do only 60Hz. Wow, it makes a big difference. The computer feels much faster. It’s funny, I kept thinking my Macs felt sluggish compared to my Linux machine, which was connected to my prior gaming monitor, which offered 165Hz. Even just typing into a terminal felt snappier on Linux. In fact, this sent me down a rabbit hole of testing different macOS terminals to find the “fastest” one. But now, I think it was just the refresh rate of that other monitor. Anyway, while there are things I’ll no-doubt miss about the Studio Display, this refresh rate is a nice upgrade!
