Super Smash Bros. SP] Do you need a gaming monitor? Delay difference with TV and why “60Hz” is sufficient

“When I watch Smash Bros. on TV, it feels heavy…”
That feeling is correct. Typical LCD TVs require image processing, so there is a delay of a few tenths of a second between when you press a button and when the screen moves.
Introducing the correct way to choose when buying a monitor for Smash Bros.

Switch only outputs “60Hz”

This is the biggest point. Unlike PS5 and PC, the maximum frame rate on Switch is 60fps.
Therefore, even if you buy an expensive 144Hz or 240Hz monitor, it will only display 60 frames of video.
For Smash Bros., an inexpensive 60Hz to 75Hz monitor is sufficient spec-wise.

What you should look at is “response speed”

More important than refresh rate is “response speed (GtoG)”.
Please choose a model with this value of 1ms (0.001 seconds) or less.
On TV, this time is about 10ms to 50ms, so there is a phenomenon where the guard is not able to react in time after watching.

Summary

Just by switching to a monitor that costs around 10,000 yen, you should feel like your online lag has decreased. Quit TV now.
