Rig Showdown
Fellow keyboard warriors, I'm curious what your non virtual weapons are. My rig is as follows: PC: Intel I7 6700k on Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, Samsung 860 Evo SSD, 32 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 @3200...

I would not recommend going 240hz as humans can't notice any difference above 165hz (all the tests made on pro players, showed that people with 70-90ms reaction did not see any difference above 165hz) - although I can understand that the companies want to sell them.
I can assure you, I can notice a drop from 240 to 220 VERY clearly (and that's only based on FPS dropping from 240 to 220, the frames themselves are still drawn at 1/240th of a second each; true 220 Hz would be even more noticeable). If I could get what I want I would gladly go for 10k refresh rate (in 20 years maybe?). That would look SMOOOTH.
But of course there's diminishing returns.
Afaik there currently are no IPS QHD 240 Hz panels and for BR's visual clarity tops smoothness. IPS gives better blacks and overall better colors and QHD resolution allows for easier spotting at long range. So IPS 144 > TN 240, QHD 144 > HD 240. Hence, the best compromise for BR's seems to be a QHD IPS 144+.
For a game like overwatch, I would never ever give up 240 hz.
Well I actually looked up studies made on screen hz and there was none that could prove that any human (pro players mind you) could actually pass the test that they saw any notice above 165hz. I think this is placebo mate. Best choice is 165hz, and that's if you have a very low response time that you actually gain anything from it.
Test was going from 60hz -> 144hz -> 165h-> 240hz. And trying to see if there was any change for them at all, and for them to guess what refresh rate it was. They could see a change from 144hz -> 165hz, but that's where it stopped.Nah it's not. You just need to pay attention to the right things. I'm VERY sensitive to the artifacts created by screen redrawing, so any increase is a huge relief for me. But it's far far far from perfect yet. G-sync may remove the tearing part, but it comes with it's own problems. And the most noticeable part is still the obvious one - the smoothness of movement. The eye may have it's own refresh rate, but it's not synced to that of the monitor.
I can't notice much difference between 60 Hz and 240 Hz in a Moba - the movement is slow there, but can sure as hell tell even the slightest difference when I'm looking at a flying projectile or when I'm turning 90 degrees over 0.05 seconds (60 Hz - 3 frames, 165 Hz - 8 frames, 240 hz - 12 frames). I can assure you, 12 frames look A LOT smoother than 8 frames. Of course, when you compare that to 3 frames - well that's literally a slideshow...
Think you might be confusing frame rate with hz, and ofc you would see a notice from 60 to 240, you wont from 165 to 240.
When I did the test, I could not see a change from 144->165, mind you the people that could actually do that averaged in on 70ms reaction time (best pro players in the world).
