        I agree that 1000hz is ridiculous, I have a 165hz monitor and can’t tell the difference past 120 or so. But that’s not really the point…this will never be a mainstream product but the technology may lead to useful advancements in the future

          That is the point, most people don’t do research and see “ahh a bigger number, it must be better!”. 1Khz refresh rate may be a niche thing now but in two years every company will be pushing something similar.

            Let “bigger is better” people waste their money like they already do on other products. It makes things cheaper for the rest of us while opening up new avenues for display technology in the future.
