200Hz is a relatively niche refresh rate that sits between the mainstream 165-180Hz bracket and the high-end 240Hz tier. You will mostly find it on curved gaming panels where manufacturers have pushed the panel slightly beyond its rated spec to hit a rounder marketing number. In practice it delivers genuinely fast, responsive gameplay — particularly noticeable in competitive titles where frame rate and screen refresh are closely matched. Whether it is worth paying a premium over a 180Hz panel is debatable, but if a monitor lands at 200Hz and the price is right, it is a solid spec for serious gaming use.
