It's not debatable at all if humans can see more than 30fps. People don't see in frames and can easily distinguish differences in frame rates to 100fps. If you want to get more detailed, there have been studies that prove we can actually see a flash of light that only lasts 1/200 of a second.
Yes it is debatable. That is why US TVs run at 24FPS while British and most European TVs run at 30FPS. Those weren't numbers they just picked at random, they attempted to determine the point at which it becomes unnoticeable and set that as the refresh target.
A test showing we can detected a flash of light at 1/200 of a second doesn't prove we can see 100FPS. Sure we might be able to notice a change in light, but if you get a device to display 200 frames of a film in a single second they will not be able to tell you what was happening in the vast majority of them. So just because we are able to detected subtle changes does not prove we can pick up and be able to register dynamic changes in a similar set of images at that rate.
Whats your point exactly? The 27inch OCed display will deliver a more fluid and smooth gameplay with his GPUs, no doubt about it. Getting the bigger display with lower PPI just increases the blockiness and need for AA.
My point was in my original post. There is plenty of doubt as to if the 27 inch monitor will look more fluid. If we aren't able to see more than 30 frames per second and notice them fully, then there is a time when regardless of how high the refresh rate we won't be able to notice any difference in appearance. That might not happen till 60, 96, 120, or higher but its possible to happen and therefore raises doubt.
And you are talking blockiness on a super high definition display? Unless he is playing minecraft he isn't going to see blockiness. Not to mention with only an increase from 27 to 30 inches, with a minor increase in resolution, the number of pixels per inch are going to be fairly close.
If the increase in refresh rate and slightly more pixels per inch aren't noticeable, then the better display would be the one that lasts longer, with the higher overall resolution, and the largest screen.
