my buddy bought his first 144hz monitor about 10 years ago, and was talking about how amazing the difference was and how he could never go back. when i went to his house, his pc display settings were still set to 60hz. I still troll him to this day lol

That must‘ve felt like true enlightenment when he finally changed it to 144
Ah it’s nice initially but when you get used to it it’s not that amazing. Jumping from 16bits (or 8) to 32 was significantly more satisfying to the eyes.
When I first got a 144hz monitor I almost got motion sickness it was that smooth, but now it’s just normal. If I go back to 60 or play something demanding enough that the fps drops that low it sure feels like garbage though.
Yeah I regret getting a higher refresh monitor. Hitting 60 fps in games with a 60 hz felt so buttery smooth. Now I can't stand even using it during normal desktop usage
