Higher refresh rates in general produce smoother scrolling, lower latency screen updates, more fluid motion, and a generally more immersive computing experience.
Going from 60Hz to 120Hz is a noticeable upgrade for most people, though others don’t notice much.
Higher rates offer marginal improvements in smoothness and latency, but it’s really marginal. At 120Hz you’re getting a frame every 8ms (if the GPU can provide it), while 240Hz drops that to 4ms and 1000Hz to 1ms.
Competitive FPS gamers will already push hardware and settings to 200+ fps for optimal smoothness. Add AI frame generation and you could get even higher rates, though frame generation introduces its own lag by necessity of having to interpolate between two frames.
