In this ultra-competitive environment, your gaming monitor becomes a strategic ally that can significantly influence your performance. Discover how Japannext monitors can transform your gaming experience and give you a decisive advantage on the battlefield.
1. Why your monitor is essential for your gaming performance in Call of Duty
The competitive advantage of a high-performance monitor
In Call of Duty, every millisecond counts. A high-performance monitor allows you to see your opponents' movements faster, giving you valuable reaction time in situations where elimination is a matter of milliseconds. Comparative tests have shown that a player equipped with a high-frequency screen can react up to 40ms faster than an opponent limited to a standard 60Hz screen—a decisive advantage in direct confrontations.
Superior visual clarity
The environments in Modern Warfare III are rich in detail and contrast. From flying bullets to reflections on weapons, smoke effects and shadows, every visual element can hide an opponent. A high-quality display significantly improves image sharpness and scene readability, making it easier to spot camouflaged or fast-moving enemies.
Uncompromising immersion
Call of Duty combines moments of extreme tension with spectacular sequences. A suitable monitor not only offers competitive advantages, but also deeper immersion in the game world. Vibrant colors for explosions, sharp contrast for night scenes, and smooth fast motion—all these elements transform your everyday gaming experience.
Reduced eye strain
Long sessions on Call of Duty can be hard on your eyes. A high-quality monitor with eye strain reduction technologies allows you to maintain your focus and performance for longer, an often overlooked but crucial factor in consistent progress.
2. Essential technical features for a Call of Duty monitor
Refresh rate: the trump card
For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, the refresh rate is undoubtedly the most decisive parameter. While 144Hz is now the bare minimum for competitive gaming, serious gamers are moving towards higher frequencies:
- 165-200Hz: competitive entry level, already offering a tangible advantage
- 240-280Hz: intermediate level preferred by many experienced gamers
- 320Hz and above: expert level for maximum responsiveness in critical situations
A high refresh rate not only provides smoother visuals, but also significantly reduces display latency, giving you extra reaction time against your opponents.
Response time: precision in action
To keep up with the fast pace of combat in Call of Duty, a short response time (ideally 1ms) is essential. This feature significantly reduces motion blur during quick turns and sudden movements, maintaining a clear image even in the most chaotic situations. For competitive gamers, a high response time can mean the difference between spotting an opponent or missing an opportunity to take them out.
Resolution: strategic balance
Call of Duty is a game where performance often trumps pure graphics quality. While Full HD (1920 × 1080) remains the benchmark for maximizing frame rates, WQHD (2560 × 1440) is an excellent compromise for powerful configurations. This higher resolution makes it easier to spot enemies at long range, which is particularly useful on the large maps in Modern Warfare III.
Display technology
Modern IPS screens currently offer the best balance for Call of Duty with:
- Accurate color reproduction for easy enemy identification in a variety of environments
- Generous viewing angles for visual consistency during fast movements
- Response times that are now competitive with older TN technologies
The ideal size
Contrary to popular belief, bigger isn't necessarily better for Call of Duty. Sizes between 24 and 27 inches offer the optimal balance between immersion and performance:
- 24-25": the preferred size for professional players to keep all information in their central field of vision
- 27“: offers greater immersion while remaining competitive for the majority of gamers
- Formats larger than 27” are generally not recommended for competitive gaming
HDMI 2.1 connectivity
To take full advantage of high refresh rates, especially in resolutions higher than Full HD, HDMI 2.1 ports are a valuable asset. This standard allows the high-speed signals required for high-end configurations to be transmitted.

4. Optimize display settings for maximum performance
In Call of Duty settings
To take full advantage of your Japannext display with Modern Warfare III:
- Set the game to “Full Screen Exclusive” mode to reduce display latency
- Disable vertical synchronization (V-Sync), which adds unwanted latency
- Adjust the sharpness and texture filter settings to improve enemy visibility
- Enable “Performance” mode rather than “Quality” in the graphics options
- If possible, set the FPS limit slightly higher than your display's refresh rate
Optimizations on your Japannext display
Japannext monitors offer several optimization features for Call of Duty:
- Use the preconfigured “FPS” mode, specially calibrated for shooting games
- Enable the “Black Equalizer” feature or equivalent to improve visibility in shaded areas
- If available, use motion blur reduction for fast-paced action
- Adjust the gamma to maximize enemy visibility without compromising overall image quality
The importance of physical setup
The position and physical settings of your screen greatly affect your performance:
- Place the screen approximately 60-70 cm from your eyes for optimal viewing
- Adjust the height so that the top of the screen is at eye level
- Position the screen perpendicular to light sources to avoid glare
- The ergonomic stand of the 24.5” IPS FHD 320Hz Gaming PC Monitor makes these precise adjustments easy
5. Frequently asked questions about monitors for Call of Duty
Is it possible to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III in split screen on computer?
Unlike the console versions, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III does not officially offer split-screen mode on a computer. This feature is exclusively available on PlayStation and Xbox. If you want to play locally with a friend, it is best to opt for a console setup.
Is a 144Hz monitor sufficient for competitive Call of Duty gaming?
A 144Hz monitor is the minimum recommended for competitive Call of Duty play. While it already offers a significant advantage over standard 60Hz monitors, Japannext's 165Hz, 200Hz, or 320Hz monitors provide an additional advantage, particularly valuable in the close-quarters combat situations common in Modern Warfare III.
What is the best screen size for Call of Duty?
The majority of professional Call of Duty players use monitors between 24 and 27 inches. 24-25“ formats (such as the 24.5” IPS FHD 320Hz Gaming Monitor) are preferred for maintaining the entire field of view without excessive eye movement. The 27“ format (such as the 27” IPS WQHD 165Hz Gaming Monitor) offers a more immersive experience while remaining competitive.
Are curved monitors recommended for Call of Duty?
While curved monitors can enhance immersion in some games, they do not offer a significant competitive advantage for Call of Duty. Professional gamers generally prefer flat monitors for their visual consistency and accuracy. If immersion is your priority, a curved monitor may be worth considering, but for pure competition, flat models remain the preferred choice.
Is G-Sync or FreeSync technology important for Call of Duty?
Adaptive synchronization technologies such as G-Sync and FreeSync can improve your experience by eliminating screen tearing and stuttering. However, for high-level competitive gaming, many players prefer to disable these features in favor of minimal latency. Compatible Japannext displays offer the best of both worlds, allowing you to enable these technologies for casual gaming and disable them for competitive sessions.
Can my display compensate for a low-end setup?
A high-performance monitor cannot completely compensate for a low-end computer setup. To get the most out of Modern Warfare III, we recommend having at least a recent processor and a graphics card capable of maintaining a stable frame rate above 100 FPS. A balance between your computer and your monitor remains the optimal solution for a smooth gaming experience.
