For non esports stuff, do you think high refresh rate monitors, 144Hz for example, make sense?

The difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS is titanic. Does that carry over to higher than 60 FPS or do you get diminishing returns?

    I’m not sure there ever has been 30hz monitors. Going from 60 to 120 is double, just like 30 to 60. Having just made that jump this year, I can say yes,it’s very nice.

      Well, if your setup is right, there won’t be 30Hz monitors. Plugging in an old DVI cable you have laying around to a 4k monitor might just do it.

      Didn’t most console games run at 30fps until recently, so effectively 30hz, right?

        Yes. Someone pointed out that NTSC standard was 60hz with interlaced frames. Effectively 30fps like your talking about. But that ended with CRTs.

      There have been 60hz interlaced displays, that displayed alternate fields and so did a complete refresh 30 times a second. Actually, I guess that’s what NTSC broadcast TV was. It looks like ass in every other application, though.
