FPSes aught to update the screen every millisecond. Why isn't this more common?

That would require a 1000Hz screen to even be able to output. 144Hz is the high-end today. It seems to be pointless to push beyond that.

240/360/480/540hz monitors all exist. 144hz is not that high a bar anymore, and kind of the odd one out given that it's not a multiple of 60.

Or you could say 540Hz is the odd one out for not being a multiple of 24Hz, the standard since ~1930.

Because you quickly get into diminishing returns, while significantly scaling the hardware required?
