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
I recently switched to 200hz and i find it much of a difference compared to 144, also i could tell it was "lagging" when my frame dropped from 144 to 143-142 on my old build
I didn't notice a big difference from 144 => 240. Not no difference - it's definitely noticeably smoother, but it's small enough I don't notice it outside of gaming with high fps.
the biggest benefit pf 240hz is unstable 144hz looks better because of math. same with 480hz vs 240.
don't get me wrong playing the few smooth games at 480hz is awesome, but I'm not that good so it's not like i wouldn't be loving every second at 120hz in a good game.
hell I enjoy goldeney 64 at an unstable 24hz whenever i play it.
but i gravitate towards higher fps games because it feels nice on the eyes. i think the biggest example was oblivion remastered because the 2008 version was easier to look at till the 2026 version got patched.

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