gollark: 4K 240Hz is the best way.
gollark: You see, it is said "oh, if you use a 144Hz/240Hz/5PHz/2K/4K/10000/GSync monitor you'll never want to go back", and "oh, it's totally noticeable immediately", which means if I'm ever exposed to one I'll realise that every moment of entertainment I got from my old monitor was but a farce.
gollark: Unless I see a 144Hz monitor and immediately become forced to use one forever.
gollark: I'm hoping iGPUs will get good enough in a few years for my GPU to become unnecessary.
gollark: Practically you need a GPU, if just a minimal one, but you don't need a graphics card. My CPU has no iGPU, you see.
