Myself is around 120 over that i don't notice any difference

60hz is one thing for still pictures, you won't see any flicker, but for motion video as in sports, that is something else entirely.

the difference when a distant player in fast fps game peaks and land a headshot on you while you don't actually see that he peaked😂

I doubt that anyone without a neurophysiology background and a not so solid grasp of physics, can begin to understand how the brain (not the eyes), process visual information.

The reason people answer differently is because they're peforming different experiments.

A simple experiment is to just move your mouse cursor in circles. Compare across refresh rates. EVERYONE will notice a difference. This might sound useless but at least youve established you can see a difference.

Now do a similar experiment in any game: when you swivel your aim around, there is a difference that everyone can see.

I don't buy rhe idea that "some people can see it and some can't". They're just doing different experiments.

"Smoother". That's the point. For example try playing cs2 with fps_max 60 command and then uncap it. You will feel the diference and there will be less input lag. If an enemy suddenly comes from behind a corner, with more fps you will be able to react quicker because you will see his outline sooner. With decreased fps those frames will be skipped and he will appear already halfway out. His "peeking" will look choppy and you will have less time to react.

As a gamer it is true that I can 100% tell a drastic difference between 60hz and something like 120hz. Though beyond that it all kinda just blends and is also I guess dependent on the framerate mixed with the refresh rate.

It probably depends on what is being displayed and how it's being displayed. There are too many factors and variables in our technology to be a black & white answer.

Why 480HZ when human eye can notice differences beyond 120HZ.
That’s just a waste of money
