Just as an aside, most motion pictures made nowadays and shown at your local theatre are shot at 24 FPS- which argues AGAINST your position.  True, they have to pan slowly side-to-side to avoid the "blur" effect, but most people think MOVIES look GREAT, even at 24 fps instead of 30.  Perhaps not as bu-----ty as you suggested, yeah?

No!

 

in cinematography, 25 frames per second is smooth due to the blurring nature of the medium.

 

This does NOT apply to video games.

 

Try panning around the VC at 25 FPS and then compare to 60.

 

The visual stepping of the scenery is very apparent too.

 

 

 

Frames rate is different from monitor REFRESH rate, but I'm sure you knew that.

 

 

In regard to an old CRT monitor yes. In regard to LCD monitors not so much.

 

 

Refresh rate of an LCD monitor is the number of times per second in which the display draws the data it is being given. Refreshed in other words.

 

Frame rates in video games refer to the speed at which the image is refreshed.
