I have never used a high refresh rate (>120Hz) monitor before.  Of course, I have seen them being displayed in shops.  But I wish to listen to opinion from those who have used for an extended period of time.


The main benefit of having a high refresh rate is to avoid 'tearing' in some fast pacing FPS games.  Correct?  Other than this, what other benefits  does a high refresh rate monitor give?


Gaming aside, does using a high refresh monitor differ much from using a 60Hz monitor?  Daily usage like web surfing and watching Youtube and word processing do not benefit much?  I am now a casual gamer and wonder if the next monitor should stay at 60Hz or going for a >120Hz one.
