Is there really a noticeable difference between 120hz and 240hz? what about beyond that like 360hz or 480hz?

I've personally seen higher refresh rate displays like 120, 144, and 165hz, but all my devices are only at 60hz. assuming ww3 never happens in the next few years, i do plan to build my own gaming PC which includes buying a high hz monitor. I don't mind having high hz for other devices like a laptop or phone either.

from what I've researched, 250hz is basically the physical limit that our eyes can process (not entirely accurate because we don't view reality in frames). however for most people including gamers, their limit is around 144hz when anything higher just looks the same.

I don't know why Nvidia wants to have eSports monitors have such high refresh rates when the human eyes can't consciously perceive that high. like i know our eyes and brain can subconsciously perceive images refreshing up to 1000 times per second but still. most very high hz monitors have garbage display panels in terms of colour accuracy anyways.

Yes It Does

No It Don't

Depends...

Never Used

The difference between 120Hz and 240Hz can be noticeable, especially in fast-paced games where there's a lot of movement on the screen. A higher refresh rate can reduce motion blur and make the action feel smoother and more responsive. However, the difference may not be as noticeable in slower-paced games or other types of content.

As for refresh rates beyond 240Hz, it may be more difficult for most people to notice a significant difference. Some gamers and professionals may prefer the higher refresh rates for the slight advantage it can provide, but for the average user, it may not be worth the extra cost.

It's true that the human eye can't consciously perceive refresh rates above a certain point, but as you mentioned, the brain can still process the images and motion can appear smoother. It's also worth noting that some people may have more sensitive eyes and be able to perceive a difference in higher refresh rates.

Regarding Nvidia's push for high refresh rates in eSports monitors, it's likely that they are catering to the competitive gaming market where every advantage counts, even if it's only a slight improvement. As for color accuracy, there are high refresh rate monitors available with good color performance, but they may come at a premium price.

i forgot to mention very high refresh rate monitors typically have terrible response times compared to "mid range" refresh rate monitors, although last i checked that's changing for 240hz

No idea, my monitor is 144Hz and I have never used anything higher than that.

The only thing I can say is that there has been a big difference between 60Hz and 144Hz.

I really cannot seee the difference. Maybe some people who do extreme gaming might benefit from the faster setting.
