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?

That 1ms is talking about a single pixel, after it’s been told to change colors.
The number you want is called latency, and isn’t often advertised, sometimes it’s called input lag. Some monitors have low latency modes which disable some processing intensive features.
There are a lot of other things besides refresh rate and response time that impact latency.
>Wouldn’t that mean that the best response time possible is 1/144s?
The contribution to latency just from refresh rate would be a random delay between 0 and 1/144s, depending on when the event happens in relation to the refresh cycle.
