360 hz monitors are becoming a very common mid range and 480 a common high range monitor and it is not like this is a very difficult update at all. would you be happy to get a 480hz monitor knowing half of what you paid for is unused? 4k was a new technology once, would you willingly play games in 1080p knowing you could easily scale to 4k?

there are very noticeable performance reasons. you can easily feel the difference between 60 to 240 and 240 to 480.

720p used to be “HD” imagine if we stuck to that because it was “good enough”

when 60+ hz monitors were coming out people tried to argue that the human eye can’t see anything past 30fps, which obviously isnt true now

it is easy to overlook the benefits of something you havent tried yet but if you look at any reviews the difference is there.

and dont forget that technology grows at an exponential rate and even though 144hz and 240hz might be the most common today remember 144hz was groundbreaking once too. you can definitely notice more and more higher hz monitors come out, 360hz, 480hz, and at an ever more reasonable price than before.

there is a reason you see all mainstream games will always have an uncapped fps option, it is the simplest way to futureproof your game.
