Being someone who can see the difference like night and day, I imagine there must be something that varies per individual... which also makes me feel like you are lying. So I totally understand where you're coming from.

As I told another user, I am very aware that my position is a minority position, and I must deduce that most people can in fact see a difference (there is no reason for everyone is this thread to lie to a complete stranger for no apparent reason.) And yeah, I can see why you'd think that I am lying, but all I can say is that my experience is what it is, that's all.

Do you consume much media? I ask because I used to be similar to you; I never used to be able to distinguish between 30fps vs 60fps but I find that the more media I consume, the more the difference becomes apparent to me.

Aside from that, one of the clearest videos I've seen the difference in is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-dOuBcxMlk - the commentary isn't very constructive in that video but I see a rather large difference between gameplay clips.

Honestly, I didn't see a difference in the two. I'm sure that 60FPS is better, but I also just don't "see" it.

I couldn't see it during the hearthstone example, but it was abundantly clear during counter-strike.
