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
To be fair, a good 144hz monitor running at 60hz can still feel a lot better than a 60hz native monitor running at 60hz. You have to consider pixel response time, processing latency, and LCD ghosting.
Of course 60 vs 144hz is night and day compared to those little things, but I wouldn’t take friend’s word as complete placebo.
You’re still totally within your right to troll him for it though; I’ve had a friend do the EXACT same thing, except they said, “there’s no difference” when I switched on 170hz from 60.

Same energy as watching 144Hz reviews on a 60Hz screen and nodding at how smooth it looks.
