The fastest proven seems to be 220hz but 240hz is the maximum theoretical for humans.

  if you are referring to this: > The USAF, in testing their pilots for visual response time, used a simple test to see if the pilots could distinguish small changes in light. In their experiment a picture of an aircraft was flashed on a screen in a dark room at 1/220th of a second. Pilots were consistently able to "see" the afterimage as well as identify the aircraft. This simple and specific situation not only proves the ability to percieve 1 image within 1/220 of a second, but the ability to interpret higher FPS. that is not a test of FPS, it's a test of a few photons in a dark room and the afterimage affect of the retina (or is it also the optic nerve and the visual cortex?), potentially aka "blurring". I'm not taking a position on framerates, I'm taking a position on interpreting the data.

    Ah, you're right, maybe it's even higher than 240hz then, I mean, they're making 540Hz monitors now so there must be something to it.

      > they're making 540Hz monitors now so there must be something to it. They also keep making placebo pills, sometimes labeled as such, sometimes not. They also keep printing both the bible and the koran, which to my beginner's understanding can't both be true. I wouldn't take the existence of something as evidence that there is something to it!
