You had a 3d monitor for gaming. You need a high refresh rate for 3d with shutterglasses since you only get half or it for each eye.

Office work benefitted in the CRT time when <85Hz would cause perceptible flickering giving you a headache. Since TFT's are slower there's no flickering anymore. Scrolling benefits slightly with higher refresh, and of course the top 10% of gamers will care about the latency, but I don't think I'll be typing any faster on a gaming screen ;)

The stereoscopic 3D thing was a bit of a fad, haha - truly never used it!

The added refresh was intended for games, but I think you're selling it short - RE: office work/the CRT era.

I still to this day buy high refresh displays because being able to read content while moving windows/logs are spamming my terminal is a dream

It's not about typing faster, it's seeing things more smoothly/clearly while there's activity
