is 150 $ good for a pc monitor ? so pc monitors are not bound from the hz prob ? i think i saw some monitors saying 60hz :/ those monitors are showing only 60 fps ? do any monitors ,that shows the exact fps that you gpu outputs exists?
It's a little more complicated than that with conditions. With V-sync on, your refresh rate is the most FPS you can see. With V-sync off, you can see however many FPS you have, BUT they will be partial frames. At any time, your monitor may be showing multiple partial frames at once. The break between each partial frame is what is known as tearing.
that’s not true, if you have a 60hz monitor it can only refresh 60 times per second, essentially only displaying 60 fps, one of the causes of screen tearing is when your monitor trying to display those extra frames being produced by your GPU but it cannot, so you get the partial frames loading because your monitor cannot keep up with your GPU. If you have anything over 60fps coming from your machine on a 60 hz monitor it is just a waste. When you turn Vsync on it reduces the fps from your GPU to match your monitor, removing the tearing, but adding a lot of input lag.
Are you aware that the majority of the 1/60th of a second a frame refresh is shown it is updating the image from the front buffer? As in, it takes about 1/60th of a second to fully update an image to the screen.
Are you aware of what causes tearing? It is the change of the image residing in the front buffer causing two partial images being shown right next to each other, slightly offset due to the change of images.
That right there, the existence of tearing, should be proof enough that multiple frames can be shown at once.

Screen tearing is a visual artifact in video display where a display device shows information from two or more frames in a single screen draw.[1]
Explains what tearing is. Once you realize that you can have multiple tears at once, you then have to acknowledge that you can have multiple partial frames being displayed at once.
