With respect to gaming, your thoughts? I am quite content with my 60 Hz monitor and cannot notice anything different with my son's 240 Hz monitor with his 24-core i9-12900ks.
I find 60 fps fine for me as well, if the game is not taxing the system. Theoretically, a competitive game could benefit from higher frame rate, as ms count when trying to line up a shot.
However, there is benefit to either a higher frame rate (with sync off) and especially a high-frame rate with gsync or equivalent on games that "tax" the system. In these, the time it takes to render a frame (CPU+GPU time) may vary. Sometimes it may take more than 16.6 ms, and sometimes less. By allowing the screen to display as soon as the frame becomes available, the smoothness of the display is improved.
Frame skips at 60 fps are very noticeable.
