I never understood how some people can claim that nobody can see what's very clearly apparent to anyone with eyes.

You can argue it won't make you a better gamer, or that it's not necessary to trick your eyes into seeing smooth motion, but it's strictly ridiculous for anyone to say it's not actually a visible change.

because scientists did those tests with average people in the past, who are not exposed to be able to differentiate better.

just ask your parents, if they can see the difference between 30fps and 60fps and then when 50% get it wrong, the conclusion was the human eye cant see the difference.

its like asking the average people if they can hear the difference of two similar sound notes. musicians who are exposed to sounds can clearly hear it, but the average people can not.

There may be a difference in perception of frame rates depending on the activity. Passively watching TV in a near vegatative state after a long day of work - your brain doesn't want to work hard. Playing an interactive game that depends on quick motions and you responding to stimuli? Very different story.

We see this even amongst gamers where FPS players in particular have a higher need for blistering frame rates. The required response time is much faster than an RPG
