Maybe I'm weird because anything over 20 FPS looks smooth to me (and I know it doesn't to other people) but what's the point of going over 60 FPS? Can anyone actually see the difference or is this just a matter of "bigger numbers must be better"?

Lucky you. Seriously. I wish I didn't care because it means displays are more expensive for me.

I definitely thought it was all hype but once I saw games 120+ fps, even 60fps looks choppy to me. I also very much notice the difference between 30fps and 60fps video but 120fps (at full speed) didn't do much for me

For what it's worth, I was a professional video editor for years so I'm a bit more inclined to notice than the average person

I'm kind of in that boat - digital art, and so on more. I never understood buying a computer monitor of over about 22" that was 1080p resolution. I want decent colour reproduction - I get it, it won't be perfect unless you spend a fortune but it should be at least decent.

120hz w/ good HDR support is fantastic for content that supports it, and 240hz is just buttery smooth. Variable refresh is pretty much a must for modern gaming.
