I won't accept my pasta at anything lower than 120Hz.
The human eye cannot see more than 24Hz, so why bother
I don't understand the basis of the 24Hz limit rumor. My monitors are 144Hz, and if I limit them to 60Hz and move my mouse around I see fewer residual mouse cursors "after-images" than I do at 144Hz. That's a simplified test that shows that the eye can perceive motion artifacts beyond 60Hz.
The eye can perceive LEDs that are rectified at 60Hz AC, it's very annoying.
I think it's the limit for what most people can see as jittery motion. You may be able to differentiate between higher FPS settings, but above 24 hertz most people shouldn't be able to see discrete steps.
That's at least how I've come to understand it
