It raises the question. wink

The human eye doesn't have a "refresh" rate, it's more of how much does an object move between frames. If that distance is small enough our brains will connect the movement and see it as continuous. 6 to 12 Hz is all we need to connect motion, as long as the amount of movement is small. To perceive fast moving objects correctly the frame rate needs to be higher, or there there needs to be motion blur connecting the frames together. Blurring obviously decreases detail, so higher frame rates allow more detail to be preserved, while maintaining fluidity of motion. The larger the display appears, the larger movement will be from one frame to the next, thus big screens benefit more from higher frame rates.
