Question: Does a higher refresh rate monitor make sense? (lemmy.world)

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?

You'll get less eye strain with 144hz vs 60. Long story short i swapped years ago and it was immediately worth it. My boss complained of headaches from screens so I recommended he upgrade, he mentioned recently he hasn't had issues since. Anecdotal of course but everyone i know with eye pain or headache issues have had a better time using higher refresh rates.
