Obvious Betteridge's law.
Not obvious at all. Motion blur at high movement speeds makes things unreadable even at 540 Hz, proving that even at 540 Hz there is still plenty of motion blur that the human eye can see.

As the video says: "Yes, your eyes really are capable of seeing this in real life"
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The title doesn't ask if it's useful, it asks if it's required, considering that no one NEEDS a display to begin with, a 1000Hz display by definition cannot be NEEDED.
I will likely get one eventually, just like I have a 165Hz display now, but do I NEED it? Absolutely no.
