minus-square@chonglibloodsportlink2•7 months agoYou absolutely can tell the difference between 90Hz and 1kHz. Just draw a squiggly line! See this video for a rather dramatic demonstration: Microsoft Research: High Performance Touch

minus-square@chonglibloodsportlink4•7 months agoA 1000Hz display necessarily has a latency of 1ms between frames. For 100Hz, that’s 10ms. But this is only the lower bound. You have to include all other sources of latency, such as software, input hardware, drivers, graphics card, etc.
