Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there is something I don't understand about these new monitors that go over 240HZ:

How do you get 360FPS? As far as I understand, you need your system to be able to deliver the matching number of frames per second to be able to profit from a higher refresh rate and even at 1920 x 1080 an RTX3090 with an i9-10900K can't push past 200-220FPS in most benchmarks I've seen.
1. Simple things like web browser scrolling benefits. Those will go 360fps, and have about one-sixth the scrolling blur of 60 Hz.

2. Your input latency falls. Even 100fps games will transmit frames over the cable & onto the panel in only 1/360sec. The higher the Hz, the lower the lag, even for low frame rates.

3. VRR ranges bigger than framerate ranges. No need for caps.

People also buy 240 Hz monitors for non-gaming uses -- e.g. better scrolling/panning experience. Blur Busters will be making a public initiative that 240 Hz+ monitors isn't just for gaming anymore. Ever since 1440p wide-gamut 240Hz options are gradually coming out, and it is no longer necessary to compromise just to get 240 Hz+.
