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?
BlurBusters have nice articles about this.
TL;DR: Less motion blur and less artifacts (like stroboscopic effects, which can also be visible at 480hz).
