    Generally humans don’t perceive a difference above 60 Hz.

      Completely untrue and not even up for debate. You’d know this if you had ever used a high-refresh rate display.

        Let me guess, you’ve also bought a Gamer Chair to go with your overpriced 144 Hz display.

          So, have you actually used a 144 Hz display yourself?

            Yes, I have observed a complete lack of improvement.

              So what you meant to say is that you don’t see a difference above 60 Hz. But other people definitely can tell the difference. Don’t generalize on everyone based on your own experiences.

                Well, that and most humans, like I said.

      It’s noticeable, it’s just not massive. My phone screen runs at 120hz but I don’t notice a difference unless I’m scrolling rapidly. Gaming culture (driven by corporations) really overemphasizes its importance. Gamers as a group seem to be easily duped by impressive sounding numbers, just like the rest of the population.

      Also keep in mind there likely isn’t a lot of selective pressure on biological vision refresh rate, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a fair amount of variability in the ability to discern a difference amongst individuals.

        Finally, a reasonable reply to my comment.

          It’s a hot button topic for some people. I’m for the biological variation explanation - some people seem to really notice a difference while others don’t.

          I think what the people who get really upset notice is that they dropped a few extra $100s on what’s often largely a marketing gimmick.
