Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality.

  Completely untrue and not even up for debate. You’d know this if you had ever used a high-refresh rate display.

    Let me guess, you’ve also bought a Gamer Chair to go with your overpriced 144 Hz display.

      So, have you actually used a 144 Hz display yourself?

        Yes, I have observed a complete lack of improvement.

  It’s noticeable, it’s just not massive. My phone screen runs at 120hz but I don’t notice a difference unless I’m scrolling rapidly. Gaming culture (driven by corporations) really overemphasizes its importance.

  Also keep in mind there likely isn’t a lot of selective pressure on biological vision refresh rate, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a fair amount of variability in the ability to discern a difference amongst individuals.

    Finally, a reasonable reply to my comment.

      It’s a hot button topic for some people. I’m for the biological variation explanation - some people seem to really notice a difference while others don’t.

      I think what the people who get really upset notice is that they dropped a few extra $100s on what’s often largely a marketing gimmick.
