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

277 views

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?

There might be technical limitations, but if going above 100 frames per second or so doesn’t make a difference, why bother innovating in this direction? What would the application be? I can’t think of a single screen that is meant for something other than human eyes, where a higher frame rate would somehow be advantageous.
