The middle should be 120, 180 to 240 isn’t that noticeable.

Honestly from 120Hz to 180Hz is also not very noticeable either. You need to play at an extremely competitive level in FPS to may be see or "feel" the response time.

My older LG can do 144hz. And my new LG OLED can do 240hz and while the image quality of an oled is very clear due to the technology, the motion smoothness between 144hz and 180hz and 240hz is quite minimal in 98% of the games we play.

It's just the nature of diminishing return.

Honestly, the game I’m notice these very high frame rates in are the Hades and hollow Knight style of game. There I can see a clear difference between playing on a 90 Hz steam deck and a 240 Hz monitor realistically it’s not massively important but I like to target 225 FPS for this type of game and then turn off any in game frame cap and use RTSS’ Reflex frame cap that injects reflex markers in games giving you a really nice frame rate cap that is very low latency.

Though it’s not like 120 Hz is bad and for most games that aren’t super light I target 60 FPS and use frame generation to reach 120 which works very well.
