how can a monitor have a 1ms response time when the refresh rate isn’t 1000Hz?

Question

My computer monitor advertises a 1ms response time and the refresh rate is 144Hz. Wouldn’t that mean that the best response time possible is 1/144s?

Answer 1

I think its 240hz and they use greyscales to simulate 4x the speed and call that fast enough to be able to say its “1000hz”
