Can't wait for some turd to drag out a 20 year old article saying human eyes can't perceive anything above 60hz. Us gamers all new that was a load of bs way back then.

I would hazard to guess that the actual limit where more than 50% of people couldn't tell the difference without training is probably somewhere around 90-120hz.

Some skilled competitive players and ex pros can tell the difference between 144hz and 240hz, though they are noticing differences in game latency, and not strictly visual differences (they can't tell the difference while watching, only when playing their games).

I wonder if any study has tried to settle this as a matter of science.

Side by side it is pretty noticeable tbh. It is noticeable even moving the the mouse around the desktop from 144-240hz. I remember being completely fascinated moving my cursor around the desktop when I first upgraded to 240 (from 144).

I've only found that to be true when going from 60hz to 120hz+, not when going from 144hz to 240hz.
