I think there's an argument to make screens faster. Graphics have hit a point where resolution isn't going to give anything of substance... It's now more about making lighting work "right" with ray tracing... I think the next thing might be making things as fluid as possible.
So at least in the gaming space, these higher refresh rates make sense. There's still fluidity that we as humans can notice that we're not yet getting. e.g. if you shake your mouse like crazy, even on a 144hz the mouse will jump around to different spots it's not a fluid motion (I've never seen a 180hz but I bet the same applies).
You can see it moving a mouse super quick on a static background, but I never notice it happening in games. There's probably something there a touch noticeable in some fps online games if you really paid attention and could lock your max fps at 120fps with a 240hz monitor, but that would be about it, and I don't competitively play fps games. I'm perfectly happy with running 60fps at 120hz for myself.
