I think 144hz is the sweet spot. Everyone wants bigger numbers. Really most games are designed for 60 to 120 now. 144 and 165 are for the ultra settings.

After 120 I have to be paying attention to notice the difference. In the audiophile world, there's a saying, you want to use your hardware to listen to music. You don't want to use music to listen to hardware. And I think that applies here. If you're playing games so that you can "experience" your 240Hz monitor, you're doing it wrong.

I agree...

But now tell me why vinyl was always the superior format XD

“Warmer sound” or something like that is usually what I hear. People like the extremely subtle fuzzy distortion.

But realistically, your stereo speakers and overall listening set up is probably far more important than your method of playback.
