I got the Qnix shown in my sig.
I'll call it IMAX problem. When the screen takes up such a large portion of your FOVision, each successive frame travels radially further across your eye's FOV than on a smaller monitor.
At 32", moving the mouse around at 60z is very noticably 'skippy'. Like action scenes in a 24fps film in IMAX, you need a higher framerate to avoid what feels like a 'strobing' effect on your eyes.
Might be less of a problem at 27" but I don't really see a point of 1440p at lower sizes.
So then I overclock the Qnix to 86hz and everything is much improved. 75hz is actually sufficient, but going to 86 (my Qnix's max overclockability is 88hz, 87hz consistently, and 86hz always) is still an even better visual improvement. So I'll go ahead and round the recommendation off to 90hz.
I don't think going higher to 120hz is really necessary. Nice perhaps, but not necessary if you're used to 60hz on 1080p.
