I think a large set of people hardly notice a difference past 90Hz (on flatscreen), but I find myself to be very sensitive to it.

When I play games where I need to be able to snap turn 180° in a tenth of a second and recognize what's on my screen, 120Hz is a mandatory minimum to feel confident in the image. 165+ is where it starts to not matter as much.
