144-240? This sounds like a Placebo effect. While I'm sure people out there can distinguish between 60 and 120[0], it seems you must be incredibly attuned to visual sensory input (an outlier). It seems you aren't alone, either[1], part of me wants to think this is one big marketing gimmick, but surely people wouldn't buy 240Hz monitors if they couldn't tell a difference? Or is it just a pissing contest for self satisfaction? If I had a few million in the bank, maybe I would also buy a 240Hz monitor -- because why not?

  You can tell a difference between 144-240. A lot of small differences, but there is a difference. I just wish there were a nice high-tickrate game to play other than CS. 144-200 was not very noticeable. 144-240 was absolutely noticeable. A couple of games that dual 980 ti's cant reach 240 in currently, hopefully Volta changes that. The monitor was also on sale, so I got it for a crisp $300 with no tax.

  Look at this [0] It's an interpolation thing; it's much easier for your brain to do the tracking of an object when it smoothly moves around, instead of it having to do interp / extrapolation, and this should demonstrate why Can I ask why you think it sounds like a placebo? I don't really see why there's any logic behind 144hz being the ceiling of how well your eyes can see, and 144hz -> 240hz is a big jump [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUvx81C4bgs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUvx81C4bgs
