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

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?

The response rate is the time between when the source send the frame to the display, and when the display updates. So the source is sending 144 frames to the monitor, and every frame, the monitor updates the image shown in 1 ms.

Your source probably can’t produce 1000 frames per second anyway, so there is no need to make a monitor that can handle frames that fast.
