Why do Games propose both 59 and 60 fps options?

Question

What kind of difference can it bring? Isn’t one fps not a big difference?

Answer 1

It depends on your monitor or tv you are playing at.
Monitor and tv’s can both have 60fps or 59.94fps, depending on manufacturer. It has some things with signal processing and ac voltage frequency, but we do not want to make this physics class.

So, if your monitor/tv specifically says it has 59.94hz, set it to 59. Otherwise set to 60 to avoid potential image tearing due to failed vertical sync.
