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?

So I've done research on what display traits work best for people for remote operation. An the answer is it varies a lot from person to person.

Everybody shows task improvement and likes it better as you increase to 30fps. From 30fps to 60fps most people improve and like the experience better but image quality starts to matter more. (we used different levels of compression for quality)

After 60fps most people benefit from better image quality and don't get much from higher FPS . However there is a small group that shows a huge preference and improved preformance with higher fps even at the expense of much lower image quality.

The high FPS people responded instantly and vocally when we increased in the FPS during the test. So you may be in the high FPS group but you should be able to tell with a brief eyes on test of a high FPS system.
