The question is how sensitive is the human perception. Of course the screen refresh rate should take precedence but monitors (specially LCD, as CRT were already doing it for a while) are getting speedy (in terms of Hz, in comparison to CRT) again. Smoothness and flickering can be pretty tricky, as an interesting writing about the fact [1] explains. My personal experience shows that this is (apparently) not universal. For example I recall that, when I was using CRT monitors, I could easily distinguish between 75 and 85Hz, although most of my colleagues couldn't. (Honestly, I can't imagine how I was using a 60Hz monitor, even if this was about 10 years ago.) Similar effects using 3D action games: playing in a faster machine achieving a higher frame rate made all the difference to me, while most of my friends were not so affected (at least, according to themselves)...
