Brace yourself: dodgy infographics trying to convince you that super high refresh rates make a difference are coming! (I miss got, when it was good).

There are 12 frames on screen for every one you can perceive! I totally agree that having a few extra frames is helpful, but this is getting like men's razors now, at some point you do get diminishing returns. You've given up resolution and image quality for a 4ms frame time when you can't perceive much less than 40ms (total time not latency).

High refresh rates do make a massive difference in competitive gaming, and the jump from 60-144hz is rather large and obvious...if your graphics card can keep up.
The leap from 144-200hz though is much less noticeable, and again up to 240hz....I can imagine that diminishing returns will continue and the leap to 280hz isn't really going to make much difference. I can do 200hz on my monitor and hit the required FPS in CS:GO, and I cannot tell the difference once I get above 144hz....maybe some people can, but I am not convinced.

Combine that with pretty poor specs all round and a relatively high price for the specs and I think China can keep this one to themselves

LTT and Jayz2cents have done some really interesting tests on HRFR monitors, worth a look if you are interested in the difference it makes.

Getting to 480Hz would bring LCD's on par to CRT's we are still quite a number of years away from catching up to what we once had.

Back in the day when people i knew was on LCD screens, and i was still on my CRT.
Well i had a hard time looking at their BS screens as i was used to +200 FPS / +200 Hz, i had the same problems with early LCD TVs as i was looking at my CRT screen for most of the day.

It is only lately i have been able to digest LCD screens at 144 Hz, so lucky my CRT lasted as long as it did.
But yes, when it died i did look for a new CRT, but really it was not really happening for those by then.

10KHz in our lifetimes? Probably not (at least for average consumers)... 280Hz doesn't seem that impressive in comparison though ;-)

We're still in the Stone Age regarding displays, perhaps.

While I somewhat miss my old 21" Sony CRT, I definitely don't miss its size and weight or the heat it produced. I can live with 144 Hz until something above 300 Hz comes along (as well as a graphics card capable of producing those frame rates in games).

My old 21" Ilyama CRT still holds it's own, shame it's so heavy and deep.
