In the comparison chart above, you’ll find a selection of top tablets known for their 120Hz display refresh rate, offering a smooth and responsive user experience. Whether you’re a gamer, content creator, or simply appreciate fluid visuals, selecting a tablet with a high refresh rate can enhance your overall tablet usage. Read on to discover the key factors to consider when choosing the best 120Hz tablet.

What Does the Refresh Rate Mean?

By definition, the refresh rate is the number of times in a second that a monitor updates itself and shows a new image. You’ll usually hear this term when comparing TVs and computer monitors, but it’s more and more relevant to other smaller devices now too, including tablets and smartphones.

A refresh rate is expressed in hertz, so a refresh rate of 75 means the image is refreshed 75 times in a second. Now, just imagine how much better the image is going to look if it’s refreshed 120 times in a second. Much better!

Why is a 120Hz Display Important for Tablets?

Tablets are portable devices such as phones, mini TVs, gaming consoles, and portable laptops. They’re all-in-one devices that offer users the chance to read, watch movies, play games, and get work done. So, the screen quality is pretty important, especially when it comes to streaming, editing, and playing games.

You’ll notice that when a tablet’s screen has a higher refresh rate, the gameplay or video playback doesn’t lag. Likewise, if you’re trying to stream movies in high-definition or edit videos in 4K, a higher refresh rate will ensure that the mage doesn’t appear to stutter when streaming videos, watching stored videos, or playing games. The result? A better viewing experience overall and less strain on your eyes.

Things to Look Out For

Display Refresh Rate

The display refresh rate determines how many times the screen refreshes its image per second. A higher refresh rate, such as 120Hz, means smoother and more responsive visuals. Look for tablets that support a 120Hz display refresh rate to experience fluid animations, reduced motion blur, and improved touch responsiveness.

Display Technology and Quality

Consider the display technology and quality when choosing a 120Hz tablet. Look for tablets with high-resolution screens, such as QHD or 4K, to fully enjoy the benefits of a higher refresh rate. Opt for tablets with vibrant colors, high contrast ratios, and wide viewing angles to ensure an immersive visual experience.

Processor and Graphics Performance

A powerful processor and capable graphics performance are crucial for maintaining a smooth 120Hz display experience. Look for tablets equipped with high-performance processors, such as those from Qualcomm Snapdragon or Apple A-series, that can handle demanding tasks and deliver smooth graphics rendering.

Gaming and Multimedia Features

If you’re a gaming enthusiast or use your tablet for multimedia consumption, consider tablets with additional features tailored for these activities. Look for tablets with dedicated gaming modes, adaptive refresh rate technology, and support for high-performance gaming accessories. These features can further enhance your gaming experience on a 120Hz display.

Battery Life

A higher refresh rate can consume more power, impacting battery life. Consider tablets with optimized power management systems and larger battery capacities to ensure a balance between smooth visuals and long-lasting usage. Look for tablets with efficient processors and software optimizations that can help maximize battery life while maintaining a 120Hz display refresh rate.

User Reviews and Recommendations

To gain insights into the real-world performance and user experience of a 120Hz tablet, explore user reviews on the Versus product pages and comparison pages. Pay attention to feedback on display quality, responsiveness, gaming performance, and overall satisfaction with the tablet’s 120Hz display experience. User reviews can provide valuable information and help you make an informed decision.

Final Thoughts

Selecting the best 120Hz tablet can elevate your tablet experience by offering smooth and responsive visuals. Refer to the comparison chart above to explore the top tablets known for their 120Hz display refresh rate. Consider factors such as display technology and quality, processor and graphics performance, gaming and multimedia features, battery life, and real-world user experiences. By choosing a tablet with a 120Hz display, you can enjoy fluid animations, reduced motion blur, and enhanced touch responsiveness, resulting in a more enjoyable and immersive tablet experience.
