    A faster refresh rate also means the image on screen is more up-to-date with what the computer is actually processing. Basically, it doesn’t matter if the difference is perceptible in terms of image smoothness because the gap between your inputs and the response of the screen narrows significantly.

      On the other hand… there was this registry tweak in Windows 7 taskbar’ autohide feature, to make it snappier. Default was 400 ms for the animation and setting it to 300 made it noticeably faster. But setting it to 200 ms made much less of a difference, you could have set it to 0 too with the same result. Others might be more sensible to this but it taught me a lesson in how fast 0.1 second really is.

      Now, 100 Hz aka 100 frames per second is 0.01 second per frame, reaction time somewhere in the range 250 - 350 ms aka 0.2 - 0.3 second and reflexes, which pro gamers extensively use, somewhat around 100 ms aka 0.1 second.
      I don’t think you miss much with a frame, neurons are slow.
