Someone just said that the human eye can't see past 30FPS, therefore rendering 60, 122 and 140Hz monitors useless...

Can I end his sad existence for that stupidity?

Please.

Eyes don't really perceive the world in frames per second but just over 200hz seems to be the cutoff point for the above-average person to be unable to distinguish distinct frames.

According to my colleagues and my personal experience, there is a very significant difference between 30hz, 60hz and 120hz in smoothness and eye strain.

Trust me there is.
If you play a game and increase the FPS steadily from 12FPS to 140 (On a 140Hz monitor obviously) it gets way easier to look at.

After trying 120hz, even 60hz feel choppy. My eyes feel so much better now!

Just waiting for 200hz, IPS panel, 4k monitors at a more competitive price now, since at that point there's no benefit in getting something with higher resolution or frequency.
