    I think I might slap someone if I ever hear them say anything under 240 is unplayable. And I just know someone will find their way to this comment to argue why that’s not a ridiculous thing to say with some sort of special scenario.

      I have a functional neurological disorder and will have a seizure if subjected to a screen that is under 240hz.

      The only special scenario I can think of is playing a game at 144hz while using a monitor thats 240hz. Going from playing 280hz on my monitor to 144hz makes games visually stutter to a noticeable degree that makes games frustrating to play when you’re used to the super ultra^tm smooth feel of 240hz. Even in that case, which I am familiar with, I wouldn’t go as far to say that anything is unplayable, just noticeably more visually frustrating than usual.

      Going from playing a given game on a 240hz display, to a 144hz display does have a noticeable difference however not anywhere near significant enough that its unplayable. I could imagine even pro FPS players being able to tolerate it despite possibly taking a hit in their performance. Point being I completely agree its stupid to suggest its unplayable though the special scenario, in my case, I could imagine is what most people are experiencing when they say its unplayable (I hope lol); even then I wouldn’t really agree.
