What exactly is the point of all those extra Hz? I get that in this case it's just a "because we can" kind of situation, but in general... I've never paid any attention to refresh rate and it has never affected me. Is higher really better?

Higher refresh rate is definitely better yes, but 700 hz is well past the point of diminishing returns lol
