For non esports stuff, do you think high refresh rate monitors, 144Hz for example, make sense?

The difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS is titanic. Does that carry over to higher than 60 FPS or do you get diminishing returns?

For me, the difference between 60 and 144 Hz is big, even when not gaming, and would definitely aim 144 Hz for any non-laptop screen. However, I don't think I would notice a big enough difference between 120 and 144 or 160 in a blind test.

I would say go for any of those options you can find in your market; I treat them as basically equivalent.
