Here are some drawbacks I found after upgrading to a 360Hz monitor

When I first upgraded from a standard 60Hz monitor to a 144Hz panel, I was immediately blown away by the smoothness, responsiveness, and overall immersion. Besides the competitive advantage I experienced in popular games like Fortnite, Overwatch, and Counter-Strike, I was impressed by the buttery smooth animations and cursor movement in Windows. So, I started chasing monitors with higher refresh rates mainly for competitive gaming. However, the upgrade from 144Hz to 240Hz and 360Hz wasn't as impressive as I thought it would be. Yes, I did notice improvements, but they weren't significant enough to justify the premium price tags.
