I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 165 hz on my monitor (lemmy.zip)

Title says it all (i have turned on 165hz on settings). Its a cheap monitor, do some 165hz monitors not truly give you that experience? Or are my eyes fucked

Try the UFO test. https://www.testufo.com/

If you still can't see the difference there may be a setting on the monitor or PC preventing you from seeing it.

I've never seen any difference with the top two with that test. My monitor is 144hz and TBH I might as well have saved my money and got 60Hz ones.

We're not all hardcore gamers trained to see miniscule differences.

Do you have it enabled in Windows under display settings tho? It sounds like you aren't actually having it enabled. Other possibility is that your monitor has very low response time and everything blurs.

I'm not sure it it's possible to not see a difference in refresh rate jump this big until about 160Hz.
