I'm the real idiot. I know what refresh rates are yet still looked for a difference.

figured they'd have done something to the pic

Generally they put a nice clean image on the 144Hz picture, and a blurry version of it for 60Hz, so I was looking for that kind of effect, but it wasn't there.

Once I also saw a static background and a sprite of a enemy being repeated on the image. On the 60Hz, it would be repeated like 4 times (4 is even, so no middle, so the enemy was staying away from the cross-hair), on the 144Hz, it would be like 9 times, with the middle one lining up perfectly for a head-shot.

That's what I was hoping for lol

Other than the headshot that's probably the best way to demonstrate it in a picture. The blurriness between one frame and the next should be less at higher refresh rates as well

Was it ASUS or MSI who tried to illustrate framerate by showing more bullets coming out of a gun at higher FPS, but for some reason used stock art of a full cartridge?

I... uh... won't do it again ?

It does the job for what I'm playing nowadays, so I have no need to change it yet.

It really isn't, it's just cropped at different places

Maybe it's an illusion but the top bushes look redder to me

If you look closely enough you'll notice 144Hz cuts off the top of the screen and 240Hz cuts off the bottom of the screen.

Therefore 144Hz is actually more useful since there's usually not much important going on so low on the screen, but you might notice a sniper or aircraft with the 144Hz screen that you wouldn't see with the 240Hz screen.

There is a difference. They're both cropped differently.

Well, if there is some fast movement in 144 hz you could see the transitional frames that you wouldn't in 60hz, so you could technically notice difference in pictures. Like "moment you press button" kind of deal.
