Monitor: 60Hz vs 144Hz

For those that may been down this path already, do you see much difference in Thetis with a 60Hz versus a 144Hz monitor?

With the bottleneck being the FFT processing, it's unlikely you can get Thetis to run much faster than 60Hz at 384KHz or larger IF bandwidth. Thus a faster display is wasted on Thetis, but you may find it valuable for gaming.

My initial impression was that the 60Hz monitor would be sufficient, but I wasn't 100% sure.

The monitor for the radio has been moved to my home office, so I'm looking at a new monitor.
