It's a marketing, sell something with higher HZ just for the sake of it, thirsty fanboys will buy it for thousands.
You cannot really see more than 80-100 FPS on a screen and even that only gives smoothness to motion but not decrease your reaction time. Visual perception in humans from eyes to brain is actually very slow. It can take well over 100 ms to process a change you are observing. Even low end LCDs from 20 years ago have like 20 ms response time which is still much faster than that. Save your money guys, don't buy 240 - 500 Hz monitors.

high end plasmas where indeed amazing. but i think they ran hotter and more wattage too? gaming on plasma looked better then most flatpanel tech at that time
