Try the UFO test. https://www.testufo.com/
If you still can't see the difference there may be a setting on the monitor or PC preventing you from seeing it.
I've never seen any difference with the top two with that test. My monitor is 144hz and TBH I might as well have saved my money and got 60Hz ones.
We're not all hardcore gamers trained to see miniscule differences.
The difference shouldn't be miniscule, though. If you've never been able to see a difference, my money's on not setting the refresh rate in Windows. It's not automatic.
It's mostly marketing. Films are perfect at 24fps and gamer bros think they can see framerates ten times that.
Really? Movies at 24 fps are tolerable because we're used to it and there's a lot of motion blur, but any motion or panning shot still looks incredibly jerky. You have to get way up into the 100s of fps before you hit diminishing returns of smoothness, and even then it's still noticeable.
…240FPS is insanely noticeable.
