But from my experience I see that more people notice the difference between TN and VA/IPS panels than between 144Hz and 165Hz.
BTW my dad, have an old sony CRT 75 or 90hz dont remember and can tell difference from my 120hz benq lcd.....input lag is the key, refresh rate is part of input lag, but when gaming you need to watch input lag as first data
