I think in most cases it won't matter, and many people cannot perceive the difference.

But from my own experience I did the csgo sniper test map (where you look down to the doors and shoot the random npc players that will jump across).

While I didn't think it felt different I could consistently hit at more than twice the rate on 144hz vs 60.

After using 144hz for a while there is a more visible juddering when switching to 60. But it's not jarring or annoying.

So I'd say for most cases it doesn't matter. If you play fps games, there's a definite advantage to a higher frame rate. Unconsciously I guess you're able to use that extra info.

This isn't new either. I used to play Cs1.6 on crt. We'd often play on a lower resolution to get higher screen refresh. My screen would for example show 800x600 at 120hz.

Yeah, I remember the Quake ]|[ Arena controversy, where people with 120hz had a real advantage over people with 60hz monitors, geez I'm old
