Do high refresh rate monitors make it hard to go back?

❦ Published 2023 September 27

I’m considering getting a high refresh rate (up to 165Hz) 27in screen as a primary monitor to take center-stage away from my 75Hz Asus ProArt PA278QV, which would become the secondary screen for gaming and streaming, and primary screen for graphic design.

A concern is whether I’d become ‘spoiled’ by playing games at higher refresh rates and thereafter perceive 60fps in games as ‘slow’, thus ’creating’ more of my own graphics performance issues.

Any thoughts on this?
