Why are the fastest high-speed cameras so much faster than the faster monitors?

Question

There are commercially available video cameras that can record at 100s of thousands of FPS, and scientific cameras in the millions of FPS. Yet the fastest monitors are around 500fps. Of course, there is much more utility to a fast camera than a fast monitor, but I get the sense that there are also technical restrictions. Why has no one made a 1 million FPS monitor to show off as a tech demo?

Answer 1

It’s because you can’t see fast enough for it to matter whether the monitor is 500 or 2000hz anyway.
