This is a better option for those that have the AmEx $40 off of $200 deal making the total $160. Remember that AmEx counts the tax so this would break the required $200 threshold and would qualify for the discount.
280hz seems cool but is any game or media worth playing at 280 fps V-sync instead of more reasonable amounts at 120, 144, or 165 fps?
It can give a slight edge with response times in competitive games. If you're a professional gamer, it might be worth it. It's not something that's really noticeable, though. I can't even tell the difference between 120fps and 165fps, fwiw.

Minesweeper. Duh.

It's worth pointing out that this is a $200 1080p monitor. It's definitely for people are willing to pay a decent bit, but also don't mind being capped at 1080p. Personally, I doubt I could notice the difference between 120 Hz and 240 Hz, but I imagine there are some in the eSports crowd who at least think they can.

I would really love to see any evidence that any professional gamer performs better on a 280hz monitor vs 240hz. The majority of professional gamers won't perform better on a 240hz monitor vs a 165hz monitor, however there are some very special eyes out there that can take advantage.
But 280 vs 240? Isn't there a legitimate limit to the human eye and refresh rates? According to this recent article from 2022 (https://www.pcgamer.com/how-many-...eally-see/), the limit is ~200hz as it says after 200hz it is imperceptible to real-life motion for the eye.

That quote you posted is someone's opinion and is based on no scientific data. The right answer is: it's complicated. The human eye takes in images at the equivalent of 79 trillion hz. The visual cortex of our brains only processes these images at 17hz. The rest is our brain trying to fill in the gaps with what it expects those images in between those 17hz should be. That's why motion optical illusions trick our brains into seeing things that aren't really there. That's all irrelevant for a gaming monitor, because even if we can't "see" in these much higher frame-rates, we CAN perceive motion (or a lack of smooth motion) at much higher frame-rates. I doubt anyone could tell the difference, visually, in a blind test between 240hz and 280hz, though. Higher frame-rates do lower response time, though. A single millisecond (that's 1,000fps) could be the deciding factor between who pulled the trigger first in a competitive first-person shooter. After about 120hz, there are diminishing returns. For a professional gamer, every competitive advantage they can get helps, even if it's as small of one as this. Those couple millisecond shorter response times could be the difference between winning millions of dollars and losing. For someone that mostly plays single player games, like myself, anything above 90ish fps is fine.

For anyone to whom this might be relevant, keep in mind that this resolution at this screen size may have some blurriness or pixelation when working on spreadsheets or documents with small fonts. I made the mistake of purchasing a similar monitor only to have to return it for a QHD 27", which was much better for both work and gaming.

I've got a 300hz that looks vastly smoother than my 165hz monitor, but it's also almost double the hz. I only use the 300hz for Apex and Valorant though, 1440p @ 165hz just looks better no matter how smooth 1080p @ 300hz is.
