Higher refresh rate has great applications, but the competitive crowd swears up and down that it makes a big difference. I’ve had a 240hz monitor and I couldn’t tell any meaningful difference from my 165hz.
I think once you get into the 200s, you start getting diminishing returns. I’ll probably stick with my 280hz, but I’m super curious as to what higher refresh rates feel like
I think there’s a lot of placebo involved, but it does make a difference in games with direct competition. If 2 people in CS headshot each other, even being 1ms faster can flip the outcome in some cases. I can definitely see why you’d just want as fast as possible.

In multiplayer games, having a low ping is more important than refresh rate.
