If anyone is on a high refresh rate screen and wants to see the difference side by side, https://testufo.com https://testufo.com is a nice comparison. In most browsers it will go up to whatever refresh rate your monitor runs at, including 144 or 165 hz, probably 240 but I've never owned one of those. I have a hard time believing that anyone with functional eyesight wouldn't be able to see the difference between 60 and 120, but I can definitely see not caring enough to spend the money just to make scrolling and cursor movement smoother.

I switched from 60Hz to 240Hz on my desktop. The difference in smoothness is immediately noticeable, but I realized I don't really care. When I don't look for it I can switch from 240Hz screen to my laptop and not notice anything. Both run smooth enough for a good user experience. So I personally would always prioritize a good pixel density unless one plays a lot of games that require low input latency.

  Even for games where fast reactions aren’t important, I still appreciate the smoothness of high frame rates. I’ve found 1440p / 165 hz with freesync to be a good balance, with enough resolution and things running as smoothly as I want to turn graphics options down for. 60 feels low but anything over 90ish I don’t mind. Screen wise I got a pair of Dell S2721DGFs that I’m quite happy with. IPS panel and commonly on sale for $300. Weakest point is backlight inconsistency for dark scenes but it’s a compromise I’m willing to put up with.
