Latency between your input and computer output. It might not be that noticeable on PCs with keyboards and mice, but my god latency is awful on touch screens! Even the fastest screens in mobile phones are slow AF. 1,000Hz is a must for touch screens.
Refresh rate isn’t inherently tied to response time. We already have 1ms response time monitors that aren’t 1000hz. It just takes that long for the monitor to display the signal it’s receiving.
It is though. 1ms response time for monitors is the time they need to switch pixel colour. But if it runs at 100Hz you are getting at least 10ms delay between your action and what the screen is showing. In practice it’s even larger.
