I recently got a monitor able to go up to 144Hz, and while browsing its settings today I noticed that in the information tab it says the optimal resolution is 1920x1080 at 120Hz, and not 1920x1080 at 144Hz.
I wasn't really able to find any information about this, and my question boils down to: why is the optimal refresh rate shown in the settings tab lower than the 144Hz the monitor can push? Does it make a difference that I keep the monitor at a constant 144Hz vs 120Hz? Should I expect bad things to happen? Since the high refresh rate was the highlight of this monitor, it really seems weird to me that the maker chose 120Hz as the optimal rate.
