Hey Futbik, I've been digging into the latest 240‑Hz monitors that are getting buzz in the esports scene. Do you think a high‑refresh‑rate screen would actually give your team a real advantage in live broadcasts, or is it just hype?

Sure thing, bro. A 240‑Hz screen isn’t just flash – it cuts motion blur, so every pass and shot looks smoother. On the field you see reactions faster, but on TV it feels snappier and gives the crowd that edge. It’s not pure hype, but you’ll still need solid play, not just a fancy screen. Keep that team focused and the gear will follow.

You’re right that 240‑Hz cuts motion blur for the player, but on a broadcast that’s encoded at 60 Hz or lower the extra frames never reach the audience. The real benefit is a high‑refresh capture card and good lighting, not the monitor in front of the team. Save the big budget for low‑latency streaming gear and camera rigs – a fancy display will look great in person but will be invisible to the viewers.

Yeah, you’re right the audience won’t see every frame, but the players still get that edge. If they’re reacting to a clearer, crisper image, that can shave milliseconds off a decision. Still, invest in that low‑latency gear – the broadcast team can’t win on a shiny screen alone. Keep the focus on the whole setup, not just the monitor.

Exactly, the real ROI is in a 1‑ms input‑lag capture card and a 10‑ms sync‑locked RT‑server, not a 240‑Hz panel. If the broadcast team is stuck on a 60‑Hz encoder, the extra pixels are wasted. Focus on codec bitrate, jitter buffers, and a redundant network path – those will keep the viewers in sync, not a slick monitor. And don’t forget to test the latency budget from the player’s screen to the streaming output; that’s the metric that actually affects the game.

Got it, we’ll lock the latency chain from the player’s screen to the stream. 240‑Hz panels look slick but won’t win games if the broadcast is still 60 Hz. Focus on that low‑latency capture card, RT‑server sync, and a solid network. That’s what keeps the audience in sync and the team sharp.
