LF someone with experience regarding high refresh rate monitors and trading

All that being said. I scalp nq with some very fast 4/2 unirenko charts through Ninjatrader 8. I add a special chart trader ordering indicator that adds lots of quicker features to the ordering. I have a fast setup and a gaming mouse programmed and four monitors. If I run my set up on the fastest refresh rate 27" 2k monitor, the system will work flawlessly. If I move the ordering indicator to say my biggest slower 42" 4k monitor it will eventually lock up the system during fast moving nq action when I'm slinging all kinds of orders w atm's, various algos, trailing stops at it.

OMFG! Another Unirenko trader using NT! History has been made! And he uses 4,2?!? Quick, someone shoot it to preserve it so it doesn't go extinct! Er...I mean...
 
Well that is my fastest chart. Also use 10/2 and various tick and time charts as well but my stats are just better with Unirenko..whenever I tweak something if it stats out better I keep it. I actually use the Ninzarenko.

Food for your thought: my girlfriend is a wealth advisor for Goldman. She has Bloomberg Terminal(paid by her work ) in her home office here in Miami. One day I was tinkering with it and looking at the monitor settings. Both monitors are set at 75hz by default by Bloomberg. The higher settings are necessary for streaming video features(live news, video conferencing,etc) that are offered thru the terminal. In other words, higher refr rates may help to some degree for charting, but the bigger reason is for video applications and complex graphics apps...

Sorry, may I ask what size are the Bloomberg monitors are they 2 24 inch or are they 27's ?

Thanks @everyone for their Input. And no I am not "punking the board".

Another point that came to my mind, is that since 60hz monitors refresh the image once every 16,67 ms and 144hz monitors would refresh the screen every 6,9 milliseconds, would someone with a 144hz monitor see changes in charts up to roughly 10 milliseconds earlier?

As a software engineer who has written lots of graphic programs (configuration, monitoring, and charting), we don't update the chart, table, etc. faster than every 0.2 seconds. Most charting packages are much slower than that. Your charting package does not update the chart when the data is received. The point is that the delay in your charting package is already orders of magnitude greater than 10milliseconds.
I have an old 4k monitor being driven by an old i7 onboard graphics. It only goes up to 30Hz. It is fine for charts. The only annoying thing is the slow mouse cursor.
My much newer 4k monitor is driven by a Ryzen 7 onboard graphics at 30Hz or 60Hz. No difference. No mouse cursor issues at either refresh rate, everything looks the same to me.
My opinion is that new, large 4k TVs are great. I have a previous model of this one.

Any onboard graphics card will drive these just fine.
I don't play games so...
 
This is exactly what I was thinking. I recently went from 75 hz to a 120 hz and in the times where it gets fast, it is better. Now it is bothering me so I have to get a 240 and see if that is even better. The rabbit hole..

Worst case scenario is I have a really nice new monitor, I will report back after I do it
