Ok so I dont understand FPS. My understanding is that video is somewhere between 26-36 fps and that the eye cant determine frame speeds much beond these, so why is it important to get Fps as high as possible?

I've been looking around but cant find an answer for this.

The answer is that the bold text is wrong. I know this floats around, but anybody can tell the difference between 24hz and 60hz.

There is a lot of history behind the choice of TV refresh rates, and I'll let you google it if you're interested. Bottom line is it has as much to do with economy and practicality as it does with what the HVS is capable of.

Also, there is a difference between motion-blur display (TV) and discrete frame rendering (WoW), which is why a 24fps TV looks good and 24fps WoW looks like crap.
